Solonske section and the perspectives of the cognition of Loyeva level
Authors: Bogucki Andriy , Yatsyshyn Andriy , Dmytruk Roman , Tomeniuk Olena
Published: November 2019

New geological and geomorphological investigations carried out in different parts of the Fore-Carpathian region of the Dnister River basin gave an opportunity to distinguish at least four separate different-age levels (terraces) within the Loyeva level (sixth terrace): Torhanovychi, Dubrivka, Susidovychi and Biskovychi.
In the Solonske section the alluvial and cover loess-soil sediments from the Lower to Upper Pleistocene of the total thickness of about 30 m are revealed. Loess-soil series of the investigated section represents a number of loess and palaeosol horizons from modern soil (MIS 1), which is developed on the Horokhiv fossil soil complex (MIS 5), to the soil with spot-medallions (MIS 17–19). The last one was formed above the permafrost and obviously can be correlated with one of the soils of fossil soil complex of Zahvizdia type. A very thick (almost 10-meter) stratum of deposits that, apparently, have a limnic origin is underlying this soil. Alluvial deposits, which are directly under the limnic stratum, are composed of the channel and flood-plain facies and represent one of the identified separate levels of the Loyeva level (the sixth over-floodplain terrace of the Dnister River).
In Solonske section two levels of the development of palaeocryogenic structures like spot-medallions are revealed (above the Lutsk fossil soil (MIS 9) and over one of the soils of fossil soil complex of Zahvizdia type).
Undoubtedly, under the conditions of the proper further investigations of the section, Solonske can become a key point for Pleistocene not only for Fore-Carpathians. It will be important in determining the time of the formation of different-age levels of the Loyeva level.
Key words: loess-soil series, alluvium, terrace, palaeocryogenesis, spot-medallions, Pleistocene, Loyeva level, Dnister, Fore-Carpathians.
Dialéctica y Retórica en Arendt, o sobre el “error” de Sócrates
Authors: Barnes Débora V. C.
Published: November 2019

El presente artículo analiza las vinculaciones entre Dialéctica y Retórica en Arendt, a partir del capítulo primero de La promesa de la Política, y su relación con lo que la autora alemana entendió como un error de Sócrates, al pretender dirigirse hacia sus jueces, con una metodología de lenguaje inapropiada para sus objetivos. Principalmente, el análisis efectuado por Arendt se focalizó en la clasificación del discurso de Sócrates, en la Apología de Sócrates. El motivo por el cual nos resulta significativo recuperar sus palabras, está relacionado directamente con un cambio de enfoque y con la modificación del estatus provisorio asignado a Sócrates, en un artículo anterior titulado Sócrates y su relación con las cuatro formas discursivas de la antigüedad. Situaciones de umbral, el que ha tenido por objeto analizar la relación entre la clasificación discursiva de la Antigüedad, desde el criterio de Foucault, y el discurso socrático, según registros de la Apología platónica. La idea que guía el presente artículo, por lo tanto, consiste en revisar cómo influye lo trabajado por Arendt, en el rótulo de parresiasta con el que se identificó a Sócrates, a partir de lecturas foucaultianas, que hoy es menester reevaluar a través de los aportes de Arendt. En virtud de aquello, el trabajo se centra en el análisis del Capítulo I de La promesa de la Política, con remisiones al Capítulo II de La vida del Espíritu, sin perjuicio del recurso a otras fuentes secundarias con contribuciones en el tema estudiado.
Limitless Regression Discontinuity
Authors: Sales Adam C. , Hansen Ben B.
Published: November 2019

Conventionally, regression discontinuity analysis contrasts a univariate regression’s limits as its independent variable, R, approaches a cut point, c, from either side. Alternative methods target the average treatment effect in a small region around c, at the cost of an assumption that treatment assignment, [Formula: see text], is ignorable vis-à-vis potential outcomes. Instead, the method presented in this article assumes “residual ignorability,” ignorability of treatment assignment vis-à-vis detrended potential outcomes. Detrending is effected not with ordinary least squares but with MM estimation, following a distinct phase of sample decontamination. The method’s inferences acknowledge uncertainty in both of these adjustments, despite its applicability whether R is discrete or continuous; it is uniquely robust to leading validity threats facing regression discontinuity designs.
Ustavnopravni okvir referenduma u Republici Hrvatskoj
Authors: Blagojević Anita , Sesvečan Ana
Published: November 2019

The paper analyses the bacis characteristics of the fundamental and the most applicable form of direct democracy – referendum, and the basic characteristics of the existing constitutional framework of referendum in the Republic of Croatia. According to the Constitution of the Republic of Croatia there is one case of a mandatory referendum (entering into alliances with other states or of dissolution thereof), and in other cases referendum is facultative. Having in mind the previous practice of referendum in Croatia, the special emphasis in the paper is on the special form of referendum which is introduced in Croatian legal framework with the Revision of the Constitution in 2000. The introduction of the citizen-initiated referendum in a solution that is according to conditions of its application unknown to developed democracies has shown that one institute that can and should have a positive impact on the development od democray and of democratic political culture can simultaneously jeopardize the foundations of modern democracy. In this context, the aim of this paper is to point to the shortcomings of the constitutional framework of referendum in Croatia, and to propose some solutions that will minimize possibility of abusing of direct democractic decision-making.
Manifestacijska stupnjevita tužba i tužba vjerovnika prije dospjelosti njegove tražbine
Authors: Pavlović Mladen
Published: November 2019

U radu se razmatraju pravne značajke manifestacijske stupnjevite tužbe te što se njima željelo postići. Posebno se analiziraju tužbeni zahtjevi koji se njima postavljaju i postupak koji se po njima provodi u dvije faze. Pri tome se ukazuje na određena važna pitanja koja se pojavljuju kod tretiranja imovinskopravnog interesa za podnošenje ovih tužbi, davanju pregleda imovine i obveza, a naročito podataka o utajenoj ili prikrivenoj imovini. Pledira se za ukidanje odredbi o prisegi i izjavi o točnosti danih podataka i navode se opravdani razlozi za takvu promjenu. Naglašava se da činidbe na koje je tuženik obvezan iz međusobnog odnosa stranaka ne treba ZPP ograničavati po vrstama, jer se time bezrazložno sužuju prava tužitelja kao vjerovnika. Navode se razlozi za preformuliranje odredbi čl. 186.b st. 2. i 3. ZPP-a o stupnjevitoj tužbi kao i druga zapažanja na koja zakonodavac nije reagirao u proteklih deset i više godina od kada su postojeće odredbe čl. 186b ZPP-a u primjeni, a nema naznaka da će se to dogoditi ni u skoroj budućnosti. Zbog toga ove tužbe teško postižu svoj cilj i svrhu kojoj su bile namijenjene. Nasuprot tome, tužba vjerovnika na ispunjenje tražbine prije njezine dospjelosti, koja je u naš parnični procesni sustav uvedena kao iznimka, može lako postati pravilo s obzirom na često ponašanje dužnika u kršenju ispunjenja preuzetih obveza u sadašnjim gospodarskim prilikama.

Neuroimaging resilience to trauma: convergent evidence and challenges for future research
Authors: Norbury Agnes , Perez-Rodriguez M. Mercedes , Feder Adriana
Published: November 2019

Resilience, or the phenomenon of successful adaptation following significant trauma exposure, is a complex, multidimensional, and dynamic process. To date, research on neural mechanisms involved in human resilience has comprised of two major research streams – involving individuals with childhood and adulthood trauma exposure, respectively. Although there are systematic differences in how both trauma and resilience have been defined across these two bodies of research, some striking regions of convergence emerge when considering the literature as a whole. Here, we review functional imaging studies from across these two research streams, alongside discussion of some of the methodological difficulties involved in quantifying both trauma and resilience in human participants. Due to the broad scope of this literature, we restrict the scope of our narrative to several key domains where studies from across these two bodies of work implicate common neural circuitry. These areas of convergence include brain networks implicated in emotion regulation, responses to rewards, and cognitive control. Further, we briefly review functional imaging evidence related to proposed mechanisms underlying resilient outcomes: namely active coping, cognitive reappraisal and successful fear extinction. Finally, we also touch upon several ongoing issues in neuroimaging study design and analysis that will need to be addressed in order to enable us to harness insight from such studies to improve treatments for – or, ideally, guard against the development of – debilitating post-traumatic stress syndromes.
In-FUSE-ing STEAM Learning with Spatial Reasoning: Distributed Spatial Sensemaking in School-based Making Activities
Authors: Ramey Kay , Stevens Reed , Uttal David
Published: November 2019

This study examines the role of spatial reasoning in learning among fifth and sixth grade students participating in one set of in-school, technology-enhanced, STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and math) making activities. We focus our analysis on one particular type of reasoning: spatial reasoning. Prior research has shown that spatial reasoning is relevant for problem-solving, participation, and achievement in STEAM disciplines. However, the literature on spatial reasoning lacks qualitative analyses of the processes through which spatial reasoning is learned, enacted, and leads to problem-solving insights, particularly in everyday learning contexts. Spatial reasoning is also underemphasized and undervalued in our schools. And although increasingly-popular, hands-on, making activities have the potential to cultivate spatial skills, spatial reasoning has been largely ignored in the literature on learning through making. Informed by a distributed cognitive perspective and using a combination of qualitative categorical coding and interaction analysis, this study provides a qualitative analysis of the relation between spatial reasoning and learning through making. Our analyses show that during making activities, students engaged in frequent and diverse spatial reasoning with a variety of social and material resources and that the social and material contexts of different making activities facilitated different types of spatial reasoning. Our analyses also show how spatial reasoning developed over time and led to learning.
Process and Content in Decisions from Memory
Authors: Zhao Wenjia Joyce , Richie Russell , Bhatia Sudeep
Published: November 2019

Information stored in memory influences the formation of preferences and beliefs in most everyday decision tasks. The richness of this information, and the complexity inherent in interacting memory and decision processes, makes the quantitative model-driven analysis of such decisions very difficult. In this paper we present a general framework that can address the theoretical and methodological barriers to building formal models of naturalistic memory-based decision making. Our framework implements established theories of memory search and decision making within a single integrated cognitive system, and uses computational language models to quantify the thoughts over which memory and decision processes operate.It can thus describe both the content of the information that is sampled from memory, as well as the processes involved in retrieving and evaluating this information in order to make a decision. Furthermore, our framework is tractable, and the parameters that characterize memory-based decisions can be recovered using thought-listing and choice data from existing experimental tasks, and in turn be used to make quantitative predictions regarding choice probability, length of deliberation, retrieved thoughts, and the effects of decision context. We showcase the power and generality of our framework by applying it to naturalistic binary choices from domains such as risk perception, consumer behavior, financial decision making, ethical decision making, legal decision making, food choice, and social judgment.
Shifting Neighborhoods, Shifting Health: A Longitudinal Analysis of Gentrification and Health in Los Angeles County
Authors: Agbai Chinyere
Published: November 2019

Gentrification is characterized by an influx of capital, built environment upgrades, and physical and social displacement of residents and institutions. The numerous, relatively rapid transitions that occur during gentrification make accounting for duration of exposure to gentrification particularly important when exploring its relationship to health. Though a large literature explores how timing and duration of exposure to relatively stable neighborhood conditions is linked to health, little is known about how exposure to gentrification is linked to the health of longtime residents. Using restricted, longitudinal data from the Los Angeles Family and Neighborhood Survey, I ask (1) how is duration of exposure to gentrification linked to the self-reported health of those who remain in the neighborhood? (2) How does this relationship vary for members of different racial and ethnic groups? Results indicate that the longer an individual lives in a gentrifying neighborhood, the better their self-reported health. The results do not vary by race or ethnicity. The results of this study are not an endorsement of the use of gentrification as a public health intervention, as previous work finds that gentrification can also be associated with social, physical, and institutional displacement, as well as heightened class-based and racial tensions. Instead, findings reiterate the importance of neighborhood investments for the health and well-being of their residents over time.
Evaluations of accents can be used as a measure of prestige
Authors: Samarasinghe Alarna N. , Berl Richard E. W. , Gavin Michael C. , Jordan Fiona
Published: November 2019

Sociolinguistic studies have established that people make judgements about speakers based on accent. Standard and non-standard accents have differing levels of prestige and demonstrate variation across other attitudinal terms. Because prestige can increase the likelihood of information transmission, we explore variation in accent prestige to determine whether accent can be used as a measure of prestige in social transmission experiments. Participants (n=152 US; 142 UK) were presented with standardised recordings of a standard passage, containing lexical terms that highlight phonological differences between accents of English. Passages were spoken by middle-aged white male speakers representing a range of eight accents from the listener’s country of residence and two from the alternative country. Participants rated the speakers on 24 different personal qualities including traits associated with prestige and friendliness. As predicted, participants rated the standard accents favourably for prestige across both locations. Participants perceived location-specific non-standard accents as having lower prestige, and accents deemed as having lower prestige as being friendlier. Accent indexes differential qualities for listeners, regardless of whether the concept is operationalised by the term “prestigious” or multiple terms related to ‘prestige’. We assert that accent can be used as an indicator of prestige in the absence of other prestige information and demonstrate the importance of locally calibrating the accents used in prestige-based social transmission experiments.
Prevalence and nature of psychiatric disorders in geriatric people attending psychiatry outpatient department
Authors: Poudel R , Belbase M
Published: November 2019

Introduction: Geriatric population is growing faster than all younger age groups. More than 20% of the geriatric people suffer from a mental or neurological disorder. Various studies have been conducted in Nepal related to mental and neurological disorders in geriatric people including epidemiological survey, outpatient department (OPD) based studies and inpatient studies. The aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence and nature of psychiatric disorders in geriatric subjects

Material And Method: Geriatric subjects attending outpatient department of psychiatry, Nepalgunj Medical College Teaching Hospital (NGMCTH), Kohalpur, Nepal from January to August 2018 (8 months) were enrolled for the study. Ethical clearance was obtained from the Institutional Review Committee of the NGMCTH and written consent was taken from the subjects or next to kin. Socio-demographic profile and other details of the subjects were obtained. Diagnosis was made using the ICD 10. Data was analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 21.0 for Windows.

Results: The prevalence of psychiatric disorders in geriatric subjects was 6.25%. The mean age of the subjects was 68.6 ± 7.39 years. Female constituted 51.1% of the subjects while male 48.9%. Category wise, mood disorders was the most common diagnosis (44.9%) followed by organic disorders (20.2%) and neurotic disorders (12.9%) respectively. Mood disorders and organic disorders were significantly associated with the age of the subjects (p<0.05). Disorder wise, depression was the most common diagnosis (39.9%) followed by dementia (12.4%) and anxiety disorder (10.1%) respectively. Dementia and delirium were the only disorders significantly associated with the age of the subject (p=0.01). There was no statistically significant association of individual disorders with sex of the subjects.

Conclusion: Depression, dementia and anxiety disorder was the most common diagnosis in geriatric people.
Topping-off technique for stabilization of lumbar degenerative instabilities in 322 patients
Authors: Krieg Sandro M. , Balser Nele , Pape Haiko , Sollmann Nico , Albers Lucia , Meyer Bernhard
Published: November 2019

OBJECTIVE

Semi-rigid instrumentation (SRI) was introduced to take advantage of the concept of load sharing in surgery for spinal stabilization. The authors investigated a topping-off technique in which interbody fusion is not performed in the uppermost motion segment, thus creating a smooth transition from stabilized to free motion segments. SRI using the topping-off technique also reduces the motion of the adjacent segments, which may reduce the risk of adjacent segment disease (ASD), a frequently observed sequela of instrumentation and fusion, but this technique may also increase the possibility of screw loosening (SL). In the present study the authors aimed to systematically evaluate reoperation rates, clinical outcomes, and potential risk factors and incidences of ASD and SL for this novel approach.

METHODS

The authors collected data for the first 322 patients enrolled at their institution from 2009 to 2015 who underwent surgery performed using the topping-off technique. Reoperation rates, patient satisfaction, and other outcome measures were evaluated. All patients underwent pedicle screw–based semi-rigid stabilization of the lumbar spine with a polyetheretherketone (PEEK) rod system.

RESULTS

Implantation of PEEK rods during revision surgery was performed in 59.9% of patients. A median of 3 motion segments (range 1–5 segments) were included and a median of 2 motion segments (range 0–4 segments) were fused. A total of 89.4% of patients underwent fusion, 73.3% by transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF), 18.4% by anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF), 3.1% by extreme lateral interbody fusion (XLIF), 0.3% by oblique lumbar interbody fusion (OLIF), and 4.9% by combined approaches in the same surgery. Combined radicular and lumbar pain according to a visual analog scale was reduced from 7.9 ± 1.0 to 4.0 ± 3.1, with 56.2% of patients indicating benefit from surgery. After maximum follow-up (4.3 ± 1.8 years), the reoperation rate was 16.4%.

CONCLUSIONS

The PEEK rod concept including the topping-off principle seems safe, with at least average patient satisfaction in this patient group. Considering the low rate of first-tier surgeries, the presented results seem at least comparable to those of most other series. Follow-up studies are needed to determine long-term outcomes, particularly with respect to ASD, which might be reduced by the presented approach.

The article describes the problem of designing a neuro-fuzzy expert system of professional selection at the stages of conceptualization and formalization, which involves the definition of concepts, relationships and management mechanisms necessary to describe the solution of problems in the chosen subject field. The structural model of the decision making system for determining the professional selection of students for training in IT specialties is substantiated. Three subsystems are proposed as structural components for studying: psychological peculiarities, personal qualities, factual knowledge, abilities and skills of students. The quality of the system’s operation is determined by the use of various techniques for acquiring knowledge on the basis of which the knowledge base of the neuro-fuzzy system and the combination of the use of fuzzy and stochastic data will be formed.

Coloring of aluminum oxide on the Aluminum type AA1100, which is the typical type for household appliances and purposes, through anodizing coloring process by the blue color of commercial printer ink had been successfully performed. The blue color was well adhered and was not easy to be removed by physical treatment such as wiping. The anodize coloring process includes chemical cleaning of aluminum surface, the formation of pores in the sulfuric acid solution at a specific current and a specified duration of time, coloring and closing the pores via sealing. It also shows the anodizing process increases aluminum oxide surface hardness increased by applying higher current density, and longer duration time of the process. The aluminum oxide hardness was in harmony to the duration of time processing, and current density; however, not in line to a concentration of the solution. The maximum hardness of the aluminum oxide layer obtained is 50 kg/mm2. The relation of current density and voltage, the effect of current density and sulfuric acid concentration toward aluminum oxide hardness were analyzed. Moreover, the difference of aluminum oxide hardness of the front side and backside to cathode also discussed.

The community considers that there is no need to think about how to care for the body from the beginning to the finish because there are already their own officers. Rhile in a hadist from â€˜Aisyah said Rasullah SAW: â€œAnyone who bathes a corpse and is guarded by trust and cannot be opened (secret) about the protection of the sympathy for the people there hen comes from sin for hs condition. Based on the hadist mentioned the person who mentioned bathe the corpse in priority is his own closest family, then if the family cannot, then other people can do it, while bathing is included in the case of receiving a corpse based on the results of an interview with teacher Madrasah Diniyah Baitul Athfal by agreeing to him about the management of the body, it is expected if it involves family members.

Published: November 2019

Generally, Dietrich Brandis is remembered as the first Inspector General of Forests in British India. However, before he left Europe, he had a university education as a biologist and botanist as well as geographer. After various affiliations with the University of Bonn he became Forest Inspector of Burma through his wife's connections with the British Indian imperial administration. Despite his groundbreaking work as a forester, Brandis however never stopped working as a botanist. The Herbarium Brandis, since his death kept at the University of Hamburg as part of the botanical collections, comprises more than 19,000 sheets. It is one of the most comprehensive collections on South Asian flora. This article tries to highlight Brandis' role as a botanist.
Disc stability after condylar discopexy with open surgery technique. A case report.
Authors: Valenzuela Angélica , Beltrán Jorge
Published: November 2019

Of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pathologies, temporomandibular disorders (TMD) of disc displacement present several clinical signs and symptoms, the main ones being joint pain measured with the visual analogue scale (VAS) reporting on average VAS>6, and functional incapacity measured in mm of mouth opening, reporting on average <30mm in cases of TMD. The present case corresponds to a patient with limitation of mouth opening <15mm, joint pain VAS= 8, and functional limitation. The subject’s condition was diagnosed clinically and by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The patient presented a Wilkes VI lateral dislocation of the left condyle disc without reduction, treated with open surgery discopexy, with disc fixation by monocryl suture and retrodiscal thermocoagulation. The patient showed a significant improvement in the removal of pain and in joint function. In clinical checkups at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months and 1 year, the patient showed decrease of pain levels, from VAS= 8 to VAS= 0, and mouth opening of <15mm to 36mm in the last checkup. Clinical and imaging evaluation at 4 years shows disc stability, with maximum mouth opening of 36 mm, with no disc displacement and clinically asymptomatic VAS = 0. In this case, discopexy with open surgery achieved improvements in functional capacity and removal of pain at short term. Long-term stability was associated with anatomical functions without alteration and without relapse of the symptomatology.

近年来随着各大水库水位逐年下降,引起水质恶化,水中的锰值不断增加,传统的水处理工艺已不能把锰值降到理想范围,从而让大量锰进入管道,常年累月,不断富集。一旦供水条件发生改变,就有很大的几率出现黄水现象。为此,我们采用高锰酸钾预处理技术,将出厂水的锰值降低到一定的可控范围来改善这一现象。高锰酸钾通过与水中二价锰反应,生成棕黑色沉淀二氧化锰,在混凝沉降阶段可将水中锰有效去除。

Vocabulary learning through data-driven learning in the context of Spanish as a foreign language
Authors: Yao Gang
Published: November 2019

An increasing number of studies have shown the potential associations between corpus work and second language acquisition and teaching. Some research, for example, explores the effect of data-driven learning (DDL, Johns 1991) in the context of foreign language learning. Up till now, however, empirical quantitative studies on the topic have been limited, especially with respect to foreign languages other than English. In order to bridge this gap, a quasi-experimental longitudinal design was used in the present study to examine whether there is a statistically significant difference between the DDL approach to vocabulary learning and more traditional learning methods (e.g., dictionary approach) in the context of Spanish as a foreign language (SFL) by Chinese students. The study further gauged students’ attitude towards DDL activities. The results of two post-tests revealed that the DDL group of students significantly outperformed the group of students following a traditional learning method. Furthermore, a questionnaire assessment collected from the experimental group showed that the respondents generally favored DDL and adopted a positive attitude towards its future application to Spanish learning.
Winding virtual rolls
Authors: KANDADAI B.K. , GOOD J.K.
Published: November 2019

The winding of web materials is a subject of economic import that has resulted in mechanics analysis and model development. Many materials are wound into rolls for storage and subsequent processing. Winding is an accretive process in which the internal stresses within each layer of the wound roll are affected by the web layers that have been most recently added. As rolls wind, the edges take the approximate shape of an Archimedean spiral. All analyses and models to date have imposed the assumption that this spiral form can be replaced by a series of concentric web layers that are added one by one to the exterior of the model of the winding roll. It was also assumed that the bending stresses and strains associated with winding a flat web into a wound roll are negligible, an assumption with a validity that is highly dependent on web thickness.
In this investigation, the web will be attached to a core and wound in a spiral form from the start to the completion of the wound roll. It will be shown that modeling the spiral geometry of the web in a wound roll can be beneficial in understanding stress concentrations in the vicinity of the starting position of the web on the core and for understanding how nip rollers can affect the web tension in the outer layer of a winding roll.
Methods to determine the dry matter content of roundwood deliveries
Authors: HULTNÄS MIKAEL
Published: November 2019

In pulp production, the dry matter content of pulpwood affects debarking and pulping. For pulpwood to be traded due to its dry weight, a prerequisite is that the measurement of dry be done quickly and accurately. No current method fulfils these requirements, although there are different methods that have the potential to determine the dry matter content in wood. These techniques include radar, gamma rays, dichromatic photon absorptiometry, computed tomography, near infrared (NIR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and radio frequency (RF). A literature review showed that several of the techniques can determine the dry matter content with an acceptable error. Several of the methods cannot handle frozen or semifrozen samples, which disqualifies them as an acceptable method. NIR, dichromatic photon absorptiometry, and RF techniques might have the potential to meet the requirements of fast measurement with high accuracy

Sustainability has become a key element of environmental management programs at most forest products companies. However, describing sustainability in terms of natural resource use and management can be challenging, owing to the evolution of practices deemed to be consistent with the concept. This paper provides quantitative and qualitative assessments and discussion of water resources as they relate to the activities of the forest products industry. Water resource use and management from the forest, through manufacturing, and on to potential effects of treated effluents on receiving waters is considered. Important findings from this work are that forests act to process precipitation into high-quality surface waters, and in North America, most surface waters are derived from forested areas. Forest management can affect water quality, but the use of forestry best management practices greatly minimizes harmful effects. Manufacturing of pulp and paper is water-use intensive relative to most other industries, although the amount of water consumed (i.e., evaporated or exported with product or residuals) represents a small fraction of the overall water used. The potential for treated effluent to affect receiving water systems has been widely investigated, and while effects are sometimes observed, aquatic community structures most commonly are not altered by well-treated mill effluents. Water profile results and water sustainability metrics are also briefly compared.
The chemical versus energy cost tug of war: A pulp mill perspective
Authors: HART PETER W.
Published: November 2019

As the cost of energy and processing chemicals changes, the optimal, lowest cost operating conditions within a pulp mill also change. Additionally, the optimal cost operating point within one area of the mill may not result in a total mill low cost operation. Three practical pulp mill examples have been analyzed under varying cost constraints for energy and chemicals to determine the impact of energy and chemical cost changes on the low cost operating point. These examples include changing the digester kappa number target, changing the brownstock washing dilution factor, and the conversion of a continuous digester from one type of cooking process to a lower energy cooking process. Selected mill operating results and laboratory data were employed to tune various process simulation models to obtain cost predictions over a wide range of operating conditions.
Global survey on lime kiln operation, energy consumption, and alternative fuel usage
Authors: FRANCEY SABRINA , TRAN HONGHI , BERGLIN NIKLAS
Published: November 2019

In late 2008, a survey on lime kiln operation and fuel usage was conducted through questionnaires distributed to pulp mills in nine countries. Responses were received from 59 pulp mills, totaling 67 lime kilns. This paper discusses the key findings from the survey with respect to kiln design parameters, operating data, control strategies, fuel types, energy consumption, and operating issues. Where possible, comparisons were made with findings obtained from a similar survey conducted in 1991. Over the past two decades many improvements have been made in kiln design and operation. Included are a larger number of kilns equipped with product coolers and lime mud dryers, along with changes designed to deliver higher mud dry solids content to the kiln. However, ring formation and dusting/high dust load remain the major operational issues among the respondents. Although few kilns have used alternative fuels to date, there is considerable industry interest in their use in the future. About two-thirds of the kilns have plans for implementing alternative fuels within the next five years.
Analysis of the shortness of offset ink as a function of tack on paper by comparing elastic and Hencky strain extension
Authors: HARTUS TIMO , GANE PATRICK A.C.
Published: November 2019

We conducted a study to differentiate between the effects of the extensional length of an offset ink and its film split tack behavior related to the blanket paper ink film separation on a press. Two separation techniques were used to study these phenomena separately: constant force and thus varying acceleration, giving sensitivity biased toward ink length; and constant extensional strain rate (Hencky strain rate), giving sensitivity biased toward ink on paper tack and viscosity. In general, high intrinsic ink tack level seems to correspond to high ink on paper tack value. Both methods identify the tack cycle as ink oil is removed by capillary action into the substrate. The extensional strain rate matches more closely the film splitting effect of the print cylinders, identifying effects of extensional viscosity. In contrast, the constant force technique is sensitive to length of an ink as a result of tack build. A range of inks of different shortness (inverse length) was analyzed using the two methods on coated paper. Development of tack differed for the range of inks according to shortness, and thus the way they responded to the two measurement techniques. Differentiation was obtained between the behavior during tack rise, the balance between adhesion and maximum internal tack, and the tack fall over time. The development of shortness as a function of ink on paper tack provides new insights into the basis for piling, paper strength demands, and runnability under different press dynamics.
Depletion of coating color components in the blade coating process circulation
Authors: RUTANEN ANNE , TOIVAKKA MARTTI
Published: November 2019

Coating color stability, as defined by changes in its solid particle fraction, is important for runnability, quality, and costs of a paper coating operation. This study sought to determine whether the size or density of particles is important in size segregation in a pigment coating process. We used a laboratory coater to study changes in coating color composition during coating operations. The results suggest that size segregation occurs for high and low density particles. Regardless of the particle density, the fine particle size fraction (<0.2 μm) was the most prone for depletion, causing an increase in the average size of the particles. Strong interactions between the fine particles and other components also were associated with a low depletion tendency of fine particles. A stable process and improved efficiency of fine particles and binders can be achieved by controlling the depletion of fine particles.
