Please fill out one form for each emission reduction measure. See instructions on attachment 2. Title: Inclusion of the California Cement Industry in a multi-sector cap-and-trade program regardless of whether energy efficiency improvements and increases in the use of blended cement products occur as a result of discrete early action measures.

Abstract: We present an update of the JetViP 1.1 program for performing fixed NLO calculations in jet production including direct and resolved components in a continuous range of photon virtuality Q. The new version allows to access the full event record on the parton level. The program is set up such that hbook can be used to fill histograms. The phase space generator has been optimized and th...

Focus group interviews were conducted at a large steel manufacturing company with 1000 employees, in order to answer the research question: what is the safety culture and risk-taking like at the company, according to employees? Ten focus groups were used for data collection consisting of 6-8 employees each. The participants were operators from production. The interviews lasted 75 min and were d...

We report, for the first time, spontaneous nonlinear optical spatial fractals. The proposed generic mechanism employs intrinsic nonlinear dynamics both to generate an initial pattern seed and to fill out structure across decades of spatial scale. We demonstrate this in one of the simplest of nonlinear optical systems, composed of a Kerr slice and a single-feedback mirror. In this case, the smal...

Efficient and efficient multiple object segmentation is an important task in computer vision and object recognition. In this work; we address a method to effectively discover a user’s concept when multiple objects of interest are involved in content based image retrieval. The proposed method incorporate a framework for multiple object retrieval using semi-supervised method of similar region mer...

In underground mining, hydraulic backfill materials, such as waste tailings, river sand, and cement, are often used to fill underground mined stopes. In cut-and-fill mining methods with blasthole stoping and delayed backfill, after extraction of adjacent pillars that contain economic minerals, the backfill is often subject to exposure of free standing on at least one side. A key concern for min...

AIMS Previous studies using isolated strips of human detrusor muscle identified adjustable preload tension, a novel mechanism that acutely regulates detrusor wall tension. The purpose of this investigation was to develop a method to identify a correlate measure of adjustable preload tension during urodynamics. METHODS Patients reporting urgency most or all of the time based on ICIq-OAB survey...

In the present study we have developed the agar-fill method for the measurement of gastrointestinal-tract capacity (GTC) to replace the in vitro water-fill method. This would estimate GTC without using complex equipment and techniques, and can be applied to the measurement of GTC for small laboratory animals. We attempted to confirm the efficiency of the agar-fill method by investigating the re...

in this paper at first , we discuss about nonlinear pseudoparabolic equations with nonlocalboundary conditions and their results.at second we use an effective error estimation for this method altough has not yet beendiscussed. the aim of this paper is to fill this gap.

the influence of lime on the shear strength of soil has been known for centuries. the conventional method to increase the lime content of a soil is to add less than 10% hydrated lime in the form of powder or grout to the soil. this method is convenient for soils to be used as fill material in projects such as road construction, land fill pavements or lime pile; but is not applicable where a lar...
