MESSAGES ON STUDENT KNOWLEDGE, MOTIVATION AND BEHAVIOR: RESULTS FROM THE TEAM NUTRITION PILOT STUDY. R. Craig Lefebvre, Carol Olander & Elyse Levine Presented at the Innovations in Social Marketing Conference, Montreal, Canada, 1999. Reprinted in Proceedings of the Conference as: Lefebvre, RC, Olander C, Levine E. The impact of multiple channel delivery of nutrition messages on student knowledg...

Model-based control of the outlet temperature of a distributed solar collector eld is studied. An energy-based controller is derived using internal energy as a storage function and controlled variable. The controller relies on a distributed parameter nonlinear plant model and includes feedforward from the solar irradiation and inlet temperature. Stability of the closed loop is proved, and the m...

This paper focuses on research concerning the ecotoxicological properties of granulated slag from the pilot production of gray iron with red mud addition and concrete composites with the application of this slag. Red mud is a hazardous waste generated in the production of aluminium oxide. Negative ecotoxicological tests are, therefore, one of the basic prerequisites for the ability to use granu...

Treatment of soils contaminated with heavy metals using plant species is a method which has been widely used in thepast. This method, which is known as phytoremediation, has been applied for pollution treatment using different plantspecies worldwide. The method has been used for remediation of various types of pollutants in laboratory, pilot andindustrial scales. The aim of this study was to co...

where i represents the input stream, r is the retentate, and p is the permeate. Minimum work is calculated from Eq. 2, and the real work is estimated from available pilot-scale data sourced from IECM. Specifically, the work attributed to any separation process can be interpreted as the incremental loss in net plant power output relative to a non-capture reference plant, levelized by the amount ...

As usual, the microgrid operates in grid-connect mode, but, when a fault occurs in the upstream grid, it should disconnect and shift into islanded operation mode. In grid-connect mode, the controlling power at the PCC is necessary management function rather than the frequency and voltage. However, the controlling the frequency and voltage is asked in islanded mode. To achieve these management g...

In the Nuon/Vattenfall CO2 Catch-up project, a pre-combustion CO2 capture pilot plant was built and operated at the Buggenum IGCC power plant, the Netherlands. The pilot consist of sweet water-gas shift, physical CO2 absorption and CO2 compression. The technology performance was verified and validated models were obtained. This paper describes the validation of a WGS reactor model and the excel...
