J. D. Miller , Professor University of Utah SLC, UT 84112 USA An alternative approach to the conventional washing and flotation techniques for de-inking of mixed office waste (MOW) is magnetic separation. The use of magnetic de-inking has great potential to improve the efficiency of ink removal due to the magnetic content of toners. It is shown experimentally that the magnetic susceptibility of...

Data collected during a 12-day cruise in July 2009 served to examine the structure of the nascent Mediterranean Outflow Water (MOW) immediately west of the Espartel Sill, the westernmost sill in the Strait of Gibraltar. The MOW is characterized by high salinities (>37.0 and reaching 38.3) and high velocities (exceeding 1 m s at 100 m above the seafloor), and follows a submerged valley along a 3...

An easy to apply multi-criteria technique is the Matrixes Of Weighing (MOW), but many of the professionals that use it, in their respective fields, do it in intuitive fashion. In this regard, applications are rarely reported in specialized literature, which explains how few references exist about them. One of the application areas for MOW is the handling of catastrophes, in particular the pre-c...

OBJECTIVE Home-delivered nutrition programmes that are federally subsidized by the US Administration on Aging seek to ensure that socially isolated older adults who are unable to purchase and prepare their own food have nutritious meals delivered to them regularly by both employed and volunteer staff. Unfortunately, there are long waiting lists in some neighbourhoods that are often due to a sho...

An audit of 'standard' (STD) and 'energy and protein fortified' (HEHP) meals from Meals on Wheels (MOW) South Australia's summer menu was conducted to evaluate the consistency, and serve size and nutrient contents, of their menu items. Twenty soups, 20 mains and 20 desserts from each of the STD and HEHP menus were prepared at the MOW South Australia's kitchen and delivered to three 'sham(dummy)...

Enzymatic versus chemical deinking is examined for MOW and photocopy prints. Several enzymatic preparations and two fibre/ink particle separation methods are tested. Deinking was monitored by image analysis and standard pulp and paper characterisation procedures. The effectiveness of the fibre/ink particle separation method depends on the ink particle's size: for smaller particles a washing ste...

A letter to the editor. Meals on Wheels (MOW) is a community-based not-forprofit organisation that delivers nutritious meals to vulnerable clients in the community, to enable them to maintain their health and independence within their own home. MOW meals aim to provide at least one-third of the recommended dietary intake (RDI) for energy, fibre and calcium, and one-half of the RDI for protein, ...

Abstract Accurate representation of the Atlantic–Mediterranean exchange in climate models is important for a reliable simulation circulation North Atlantic Ocean. We evaluate performance 10 global representing Mediterranean Overflow Water (MOW) over recent period 1986–2005 by using various metrics. The metrics are based on climatological mean state and spatiotemporal variability temperature, sa...

A detailed, high-resolution stratigraphic analysis of the Mediterranean Outflow contourite system at the continental slope of the Gulf of Cadiz has been carried out through the correlation between a dense network of seismic reflection profiles (sparker, airgun, 3.75 kHz and parametric echosounder — TOPAS), Calypso giant piston and standard gravity cores. From such correlation we determine a sta...
