Global coevolution as a source of a high-profits resilient structure: a lesson from Shin-Etsu Chemical

Dynamic changes in external circumstances in a mega-competitive environment have prompted high-technology firms to pursue a high-profit resilient structure for their survival. Among Japanese chemical industry firms, Shin-Etsu Chemical has constructed a highly profitable and resilient structure by focusing its business segments into four core fields. This was made possible by fusing indigenous ...

Application of an environmentally optimum cooling water system design in water and energy conservation

Recirculating cooling water systems are consist of a cooling tower and heat-exchanger network which conventionally have a parallel configuration. However, reuse of water between different cooling duties enables cooling water networks to be designed with series arrangements. This will results in performance improvement and increased cooling tower capacity. Research on recirculating cooling water ...

Saves Time and Money

Through its subsidiaries, they mainly operate in four business segments: oil, chemical, lubricant and R & D.In mid-2012 SK Innovation did a demo installation of analysers from NEO Monitors for measuring oxygen. The laser technology used in the solutions from NEO was new to the Korean market. Because of this, SK Innovation was skeptical to the new way of measuring gas. Based on recommendations ...

CFD modelling of electrohydrodynamic gas flow in an electrostatic precipitator

Modelling of the flow velocity fields for electrohydrodynamic flow in a wire-to-plate type electrostatic precipitator was achieved. From calculations for the flow employing different flow models, the Chen-Kim k − ε turbulent model appeared to be the most appropriate choice to obtain a quantitative image of the resulting mean flow field and downstream wake flow of the rear wire, although this was ...

Image rights ? a right worth having?

We are currently living in an age where celebrity endorsements have become part of the norm. For celebrities such as David Beckham, Kim Kardashian and Cheryl Cole, product endorsements are a significant source of income. However there are situations where the celebrities' images have been used to promote products or services that they have not authorised. There are some states which do offer ...

Mind bomb-1 is essential for intraembryonic hematopoiesis in the aortic endothelium and the subaortic patches

Intraembryonic hematopoiesis occurs at two different sites, the floor of the aorta and subaortic patches (SAPs) of the para-aortic splanchnopleura (P-Sp)/aorta-gonad-mesonephros (AGM) region. Notch1 and RBP-j are critical for the specification of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) in Notch signal-receiving cells. However, the mechanism by which Notch signaling is triggered from the Notch ...

Some determinants of carbon dioxide emissions in Bangladesh

Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, industrial output growth, population growth and Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) inflows in Bangladesh for 1972–2008 are found non–stationary in terms of both Augmented Dickey–Fuller (ADF) and Kwiatkowski, Phillips, Schmidt and Shin (KPSS) tests with different orders of integration. As a result, the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model and Vector ...

Numerical modelling of gas dispersion from road tunnels in urban environments: comparison with field experiment data

Numerical computations and field experiments of the dispersion of a tracer gas from a road tunnel in Paris are compared. The Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations, combined with the k-ε turbulence model of Chen and Kim, are solved using the finite-volume code PHOENICS. Results are shown to be sensitive to the turbulence modelling and to the parameterisation of turbulence and drag forces ...

Zentox system saves money by cleaning, reusing water

Washing dead chickens uses water. No, make that lots and lots of water. Cleaning each chicken-and removing the contaminants and bacteria that the U.S. Department of Agriculture requires-uses about 10 gallons of water. So if you’re a typical chicken plant that processes, say, 200,000 chickens a day, you end up using 2 million gallons of water a day. Using that much water puts the pressure ...

Enhanced Lipid Degredation in Upflow Aanerobic Sludge Blanket Reactor by Inetergration with Acidogenic Reactor

INTRODUCTIONLipids are the major organic component in wastewaters from many industries including dairy product, edible oil refinery, slaughterhouse and wool scouring (Pereira et al., 2001). By anaerobic bacteria, lipids can be degraded via hydrolysis and β-oxidation to acetate and hydrogen, which in turn are converted to methane. A large amount of CH4 can be produced from lipids because they ...

Direct and indirect effects of petroleum production activities on the Western Fence lizard (Sceloporus occidentalis) as a surrogate for the dunes sagebrush lizard (Sceloporus arenicolus)

The dunes sagebrush lizard (Sceloporus arenicolus) is a habitat specialist of conservation concern limited to shin oak sand dune systems of New Mexico and Texas. Because much of the dunes sagebrush lizard's habitat occurs in areas of high oil and gas production, there may be direct and indirect effects of these activities. We used the congeneric Western fence lizard (Sceloporus occidentalis) ...

Effect of operational pH on biohydrogen production from food waste using anaerobic batch reactors

This study was performed to investigate the influence of operational pH on dark H2 fermentation of food waste by employing anaerobic batch reactors. The highest maximum H2 yield was 1.63 mol H2/mol hexoseadded at operational pH 5.3, whereas the lowest maximum H2 yield was 0.88 mol H2/mol hexoseadded at operational pH 7.0. With decreasing operational pH values, the n-butyrate concentration ...

Got Survey Meters - How About Carbon -14 & Tritium Survey Meters?????

Now show me your Carbon-14 and Tritium survey meter. Ooops, don’t have one? Regulatory Guide 1.21 defines a principal nuclide as any radionuclide whose concentration exceeds 1% of its total release. It states that the released quantity must be included in the Annual Radioactivity Discharge Report. For many U.S. nuclear power plants Tritium and C-14 have become principal nuclides, as cited ...
