Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) modeling applications of the biomass gasification process help to optimize the gasifier. This study aims to investigate the impact of several physical parameters on the behavior of gasification in a fixed-bed downdraft gasifier. To that end, the study presents a comparison of the results computed using the Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) model with experimental r...

This paper aims to quantify the effects of China’s participation in Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP), particular by focusing on possible productivity through endogenous assignment skills technologies. In this paper, we develop a large-scale global computable general equilibrium (CGE) model which firms are heterogeneous technologies workers individual...

Abstract The Japanese government plans to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 80% 2050. However, it is not yet clear which policy measures the will adopt achieve this goal. In regard, environmental tax reform, combination of carbon regulation and reduction existing distortionary taxes, has attracted much attention. This paper examines effects an reform in Japan. Using a dynamic computable genera...

The negative impact of the outbreak of bird flu on economic sectors in the partial and macro research will be analyzed using CGE models (Computable General Equilibrium). The result of the simulation studies indicate that the sector directly affected by the outbreak of bird flu poultry sectors are a traditional, medium large poultry meat and eggs. While the sectors that are indirectly affected s...

Intra-body communication (IBC) is a technology using the conductive properties of the body to transmit signal, and information interaction by handshake is regarded as one of the important applications of IBC. In this paper, a method for modeling the galvanic coupling intra-body communication via handshake channel is proposed, while the corresponding parameters are discussed. Meanwhile, the math...

PURPOSE To assess the safety and efficacy of spot scanning proton beam therapy (PT) in the curative treatment of soft-tissue sarcoma (STS) in adults patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS We identified 13 STS patients treated with PT between July 1998 and May 2005 in our institutional database. Tumor histology varied with the most common histologic subtypes including liposarcoma and peripheral nerve ...
