The Demand for Hard Coal for Households in Poland and the Anti-Smog Bill

Households are the most significant group of consumers in the municipal and household sector in Poland. In 2010-2016, households consumed annually from 8.9 to 10.8 million Mg of coal (77-81% share in this sector). As of the beginning of 2018, seven voivodships in Poland have already introduced anti-smog resolutions, one has its draft, three are considering introduction of such resolutions. In the face of introducing anti-smog resolutions, the analysis of coal consumption by households was conducted for a situation where anti-smog resolutions will be introduced in all voivodships in Poland. A forecast of hard coal consumption by Polish households in 2017-2030 was presented in the article. Two scenarios differentiated in terms of calorific value of coal were taken into account: (i) concerned coal with a calorific value of 24 MJ/kg (min. Q for eco-pea coal: grain size 5.0-31.5 mm), (ii) – coals with a calorific value of 26 MJ/kg (Q recommended for use by producers of class 5 boilers). In the perspective of 2030, the largest decrease in hard coal consumption can be expected (jointly) in the voivodships of Śląskie, Dolnośląskie, Opolskie and Lubuskie. Under the assumptions made, in relation to 2016, it may be reduced by half and fall from 2.8 to the level of 1.4-1.5 million Mg. The smallest decreases in consumption may occur (jointly) in the Malopolskie, Lubelskie, Podkarpackie and Świetokrzyskie voivodships – decrease by 16-22% and fall from 2.6 to approximately 1.9-2.0 million Mg. On a national scale, coal consumption may decrease from the current 10.4 (2016) to around 6.3-6.8 million Mg (a decrease of 30-35%). Despite the decrease in hard coal consumption in the 2030 perspective, one should expect an increase in demand for high quality coal dedicated to modern boilers (usually pea assortments) as well as qualified coal fuels (mainly eco-pea coal).
Video analysis for investigation of criminal and terrorist activities

Video recordings have become a major resource for legal investigations. Since no mature video investigation tools are available and trusted by LEAs, investigators still need to carry out the analysis of videos  almost exclusively manually. Current practices are too resource intensive to handle the yet huge and steadily increasing volume of videos that need to be analysed after crimes and terrorist acts. The consequence is that LEAs cannot analyse all available videos because of the huge effort needed, and the extraction of first clues from videos after a terrorist attack takes more time.
VICTORIA will address this need and deliver a Video Analysis Platform (VAP) that will accelerate video analysis tasks by a factor of 15 to 100 (depending on the use case), while providing very reliable results. 
To achieve this, VICTORIA will 1) develop a set of TRL-6 video analytics selected for their relevance in video investigation related to crimes and terrorist acts, 2) increase significantly the usability of delivered tools by involving LEAs directly in all stages of the development process, from specifications, over assessment of several VAP prototype versions, up to field trials in LEA operational conditions, 3) create an ecosystem around an open VAP concept, that will facilitate sustainable innovation and market growth for video investigation products, 4) train LEA investigators in the use of the VAP, 5) ensure that VICTORIA activities and results meet EU Legal-Ethical-Privacy rules. 
The VAP will have a scalable architecture based on big data technologies, feature new user interface paradigms allowing complex semantic  investigation queries and 4D crime scene reconstruction, be adaptable to specific user needs,  and be future proof thanks to an open analytics plug-in feature, based on standardized interfaces and open to third party suppliers. 
The consortium includes 4 LEAs, 6 renowned research groups, 2 SMEs and 2 industrial companies, world-leaders in security markets.

Synchronization of fishes’ temporal feeding patterns with weather in mid-Missouri

Daily food consumption was estimated over 30 successive days in summer for bluegill (Lepomis macrochirus) in a 13 ha impoundment, and simultaneously for green sunfish (Lepomis cyanellus) in a second-order mid-Missouri stream from the same watershed. Using temperature data from the Sanborn Field Station for the same period, a relationship between daily food consumption rate of the two fish species and synoptic-scale weather patterns or cycles was established using cross spectral analysis which is not found in the previous literature. Previous analyses of the two species in their respective aquatic environments showed that their daily consumption rates over 30-day periods were rhythmic and peaked on a time scale of 2 and 14 days. A spectral analysis of the temperature data from that period showed that there were statistically significant temperature variations on the time scale of 2, 6, and 15 days. The latter two periods are related to well-known synoptic meteorological rhythms (the passage of cyclones and...

PROCESS FOR PRODUCING AMMONIA SYNTHESIS GAS

The present invention concerns a process for producing ammonia synthesis gas from the reforming of hydrocarbons with steam in a primary reformer (1) equipped with a plurality of externally heated catalytic tubes and then in a secondary reformer (2) together with an oxidant gas. In this process, the reaction of said hydrocarbons with said steam in said primary reformer (1) is performed at an operating pressure of at least 45 bar in the catalytic tubes and a flow of essentially pure oxygen or oxygen-enriched air is added to said secondary reformer as oxidant gas for substantially reforming together with said all the hydrocarbons content of said product gas exiting the primary reformer (1). In the case essentially pure oxygen is used as oxidant gas, a flow of nitrogen is added downstream the secondary reformer (2) to reach a N2/H2 molar ratio corresponding to or close to the stoichiometric ratio for ammonia synthesis. This process allows to obtain high synthesis gas production capacities and lower investment and energy costs.
Chronology, petrogenesis and tectonic setting of the Neoproterozoic Tongchang dioritic pluton at the northwestern margin of the Yangtze Block: Constraints from geochemistry and zircon U–Pb–Hf isotopic systematics

Abstract The Neoproterozoic Tongchang dioritic pluton is situated at the northwestern margin of the Yangtze Block and dominated by quartz diorite and granodiorite. Laser Ablation–ICPMS zircon U–Pb isotopic dating shows that the Tongchang dioritic pluton was emplaced at three Neoproterozoic magmatic episodes of ~ 879 Ma, ~ 840 Ma and ~ 824 Ma, and the copper deposits formed following the second magmatic episode, revealing important magmatic episodes during the rarely reported “magmatic gap” between older arc magmatism (950–895 Ma) and younger plume-related magmatism (740–825 Ma) along the western margin of the Yangtze Block. The Tongchang dioritic pluton is characterized by high alkali (Na2O + K2O = 6.26–8.75 wt.%), Cr (186–561 ppm) and Ni (76–292 ppm), medium to high Mg# (44.71–64.21), and possesses metaluminous to weakly peraluminous features with ASI (aluminous saturation index) of 0.70 to 1.06. The chondrite-normalized REE patterns display the moderately enriched LREE ((La/Sm)N = 2.41–4.55) and weakly differentiated HREE ((Gd/Yb)N = 0.91–1.40) and negative to positive Eu anomalies (EuN/EuN⁎ = 0.68–1.86). The primitive mantle-normalized multi-element diagrams show enrichment in Ba, Th and K but depletion in Nb, Ta and Ti. The in situ zircon Lu–Hf isotopic data show that the Tongchang dioritic pluton has significantly variable Hf isotopic compositions with the eHf(t) values ranging from − 12.1 to + 3.3 and the Hf-depleted mantle model ages of 1.36 to 1.86 Ga. Accounting the previous whole-rock Rb–Sr and Sm–Nd isotopic data, we conclude that the Tongchang dioritic pluton was produced by magma mixing, and the end-members of mixing magmas were derived from the depleted mantle, which was metasomatized by fluids fluxed from the subducted oceanic slabs and the lower continental crust, respectively. The above whole-rock geochemical data and petrogenetic studies suggest that the Tongchang dioritic pluton formed in a subduction-related arc setting.
Model-Based optimisation for efficient use of resources and energy

The process industry is continuously looking for new ways to improve resource efficiency due to high dependence on resources (energy, raw materials and utilities). In large scale production even small changes in using raw materials and in energy can significantly improve process efficiency. The MORSE approach is to adopt new software tools for model-based predictive control, multi-criterial through process optimisation and quality management with overall process coordination. The application of these new software tools will lead to process improvements - reducing the use of raw material and energy while increasing the high quality and production rates.
The Morse project aims to further develop and to integrate a set of software tools that have partly already been validated in different process steps in steel industries. These software prototype tools and models were developed and evaluated by six R&D partners of the consortium in collaboration with three process industry partners. With the enhanced Morse tools companies of the process industry will be enabled to optimise the use of raw materials and energy by coordinated prediction and control of resource input and product quality along the entire process route from raw material and energy intake to customer delivery.
The mission of the Morse project is to develop model-based, predictive raw material and energy optimisation tools for the whole process route. This approach will be demonstrated in steel industry, to increase yield and product quality in production of high-strength carbon steels, stainless steels and cast steels.
A Compact Clinical Instrument for Quantifying Suppression

We describe a compact and convenient clinical apparatus for the measurement of suppression based on a previously reported laboratory-based approach. In addition, we report and validate a novel, rapid psychophysical method for measuring suppression using this apparatus, which makes the technique more applicable to clinical practice.By using a Z800 dual pro head-mounted display driven by a MAC laptop, we provide dichoptic stimulation. Global motion stimuli composed of arrays of moving dots are presented to each eye. One set of dots move in a coherent direction (termed signal) whereas another set of dots move in a random direction (termed noise). To quantify performance, we measure the signal/noise ratio corresponding to a direction-discrimination threshold. Suppression is quantified by assessing the extent to which it matters which eye sees the signal and which eye sees the noise.A space-saving, head-mounted display using current video technology offers an ideal solution for clinical practice. In addition, our optimized psychophysical method provided results that were in agreement with those produced using the original technique. We made measures of suppression on a group of nine adult amblyopic participants using this apparatus with both the original and new psychophysical paradigms. All participants had measurable suppression ranging from mild to severe. The two different psychophysical methods gave a strong correlation for the strength of suppression (rho = -0.83, p = 0.006).Combining the new apparatus and new psychophysical method creates a convenient and rapid technique for parametric measurement of interocular suppression. In addition, this apparatus constitutes the ideal platform for suppressors to combine information between their eyes in a similar way to binocularly normal people. This provides a convenient way for clinicians to implement the newly proposed binocular treatment of amblyopia that is based on antisuppression training.

Developing Appropriate Methods for Cost-Effectiveness Analysis of Cluster Randomized Trials

Aim. Cost-effectiveness analyses (CEAs) may use data from cluster randomized trials (CRTs), where the unit of randomization is the cluster, not the individual. However, most studies use analytical methods that ignore clustering. This article compares alternative statistical methods for accommodating clustering in CEAs of CRTs. Methods. Our simulation study compared the performance of statistical methods for CEAs of CRTs with 2 treatment arms. The study considered a method that ignored clustering—seemingly unrelated regression (SUR) without a robust standard error (SE)—and 4 methods that recognized clustering—SUR and generalized estimating equations (GEEs), both with robust SE, a “2-stage” nonparametric bootstrap (TSB) with shrinkage correction, and a multilevel model (MLM). The base case assumed CRTs with moderate numbers of balanced clusters (20 per arm) and normally distributed costs. Other scenarios included CRTs with few clusters, imbalanced cluster sizes, and skewed costs. Performance was reported as bias, root mean squared error (rMSE), and confidence interval (CI) coverage for estimating incremental net benefits (INBs). We also compared the methods in a case study. Results. Each method reported low levels of bias. Without the robust SE, SUR gave poor CI coverage (base case: 0.89 v. nominal level: 0.95). The MLM and TSB performed well in each scenario (CI coverage, 0.92–0.95). With few clusters, the GEE and SUR (with robust SE) had coverage below 0.90. In the case study, the mean INBs were similar across all methods, but ignoring clustering underestimated statistical uncertainty and the value of further research. Conclusions. MLMs and the TSB are appropriate analytical methods for CEAs of CRTs with the characteristics described. SUR and GEE are not recommended for studies with few clusters.

Nutrient Uptake Rate and Relationship With Grain Yields of Hybrid Maize Under Drip Fertigation

Field experiment was conducted at Agricultural College and Research Institute, Coimbatore during summer, 2007 to study the effect of drip fertigation levels and frequencies on nutrient uptake rate and relationship with grain yields of hybrid maize. Four fertigation frequencies (once in 6, 9,12 and 15 days), two fertilizer levels (100 and 150 percent of RDF), surface irrigation with 100 per cent RDF and absolute control (no fertilizer) were included as treatments in this study. Supply of 150 per cent of RDF once in 6 days (T 5 ) recorded significantly higher nutrient uptake than 100 per cent of RDF. Absolute control (T 10 ) recorded the lowest plant nutrient uptake rate followed by surface irrigation with 100 per cent RDF (T9) for NPK throughout the cropping period. The results revealed that application of nutrients through fertigation very frequently (once in six days) with 150 per cent RDF (T5) recorded higher uptake rate for all nutrients. The uptake rate of nutrients during 30-60 DAS was twice higher than the initial stage (0-30 DAS) for Nitrogen (N) and Potassium (K). With respect to Phosphorus, it was higher during 30-60 DAS and the increment was slightly higher than initial stage unlike N and K. Correlation Analysis indicated that N and K were highly correlated with grain yield than P.
Experimentally validated dns and les approaches for fuel injection, mixing and combustion of dual-fuel engines

Economical, geopolitical and social trends, apart from the well-posed environmental concerns, are possible to precipitate legislative actions for the partial substitution of Diesel by cleaner fuels in the imminent future. Besides, the already stringiest emission legislation referring to Diesel engines, e.g. EURO VI or Tier IV standards, in Europe and in the US, have boosted industrial interest on the development of IC engines capable of handling both liquid/gaseous fuel mixtures. The combustion process in these, so-called, dual-fuel engines comprises the compression ignition of Diesel fuel injected in a homogenized gaseous (or liquid) fuel/air mixture. The underlying cause is that at dual-fuel combustion, most Diesel fuel is burned in premixed combustion and, thus, soot formation is less. Furthermore, depending on the carbon content of the primary gaseous (or liquid) fuel, dual fuel operation mode can lead to significant decrease in CO2 emission. Hence, natural gas or methane constitute ideal candidates among hydrocarbons. The aim of this project, in line with European and international policies in this area, is to develop and validate DNS/LES methodologies for fuel injection, mixing and combustion processes relevant to conditions and fuels combustion strategies realised in dual-fuel engines. Furthermore, to apply the newly derived models to the design of more efficient engines and to estimate the environmental impact of the proposed concept. Related to MSCA agenda, the project will create a unique opportunity for joint industry-academia PhD training to the fellows in world leading multinational industries. This will equip them with skills, knowledge and knowhow that will not only enhance their future careers but propose solutions to global problems and thus, serve the well-being of the society as a whole.
Characterisation of pedot and its derivatives in electrochemical sensing applications

The emergence of a new class of polymer, namely conducting polymers (CPs) in late 1970s, has attracted many hysicists, chemists and materials researchers to study them in depth due to the unique properties and broad applications of this material. Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) has been found to be the most chemically stable CP to date. The aim of this project was to characterise PEDOT and its derivatives for applications in ion sensing. In this work, PEDOT and its derivatives i.e. poly(3,4-propylenedioxythiophene) (PProDOT) and poly(3,3-dibenzyl-3,4-propylenedioxythiophene) (PDBPD) doped with perchlorate ( ClO-4) have been electrochemically synthesised on glassy carbon (GC) and indium-tin-oxide coated glass (ITO) electrodes in acetonitrile. PEDOTs were also prepared in aqueous solutions using perchlorate ( ClO-4) and chloride( Cl-) counterions as comparison. Scanning electron
microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), contact angle (CA) measurements and Raman spectroscopy have been used to characterise the physical properties of the polymer coated glassy carbon (GC) and ITO electrodes. PDBPD has shown to have the most compact morphology, roughest and least wettable surface. The electrochemical studies have shown that PEDOT has the highest capacitive current. The combination of this property and mixed electronic and ionic conductivity make the PEDOT suitable to be used as a solid contact (transducer) in all-solid-state ion-selective electrode (ASSISE). PEDOT doped with poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate) (PSS) was found to be superior to
hyaluronic acid (HA) as a solid contact for ASS Ca2+-, K+- and Na+-selective electrodes. Measurements of Ca2+ and K+ upon plant stress using ion ion-selective microelectrodes
have been demonstrated. Chiral electrodes based on electrodeposited PEDOT doped with chiral molecules (collagen, HA and hydroxypropyl cellulose) were shown to discriminate between (R)-(−)- and (S)-(+)-mandelic acid. The work carried out in this thesis has shown that PEDOT is one of the most versatile conducting polymers.
