Abstract:
We model a corporation dividend as an exchange option on stochastic cash flow and capital budge. Then we solve optimal dividend policy problem completely based on the dividend model under the assumption that the cash reservoir of a corporation follows a mean reverting process from empirical evidence and economic arguments. Our optimal dividend controls depend on explicitly with the cash flow and the capital budget of the corporation, and maximizes the HARA utility performance. We specify the unique optimal dividend control for the cash flow and the capital budge. Multiplicity or absence of optimal dividend policies are given. The stock price of the corporation is studied in terms of our stochastic dividend model. We find an explicit relation among the volatility of the stock price, the volatility of the cash flow and the volatility of the capital budget. The ex-dividend stock price is positively proportional to the stochastic cash flow and the probability of the dividend delta with respect to the cash flow, and negatively proportional to the capital budget and the probability of the dividend delta with respect to the capital budget. Hence, our approach provides another passage through which countercyclical volatility of the stock price can arise from the countercyclical cash flow and capital budget directly.

Abstract:
The separation between an ‘inside’ and ‘outside’ of organizational politics has become untenable in a rapidly changing political landscape, where people engage in environmental activism in many different domains. To understand contemporary environmental activism, we situate ourselves empirically within an energy utility, Ordalia [pseudonym], a large corporation active across Europe and heavily criticized by external activists for its carbon emitting operations. By merging Rancière’s method of equality and notion of ‘partaking’ with literature on prefiguration in social movements, we analyse everyday green actions pursued by Ordalia’s employees, which we conceptualize as ‘prefigurative partaking’. By focusing on six characterizing themes of prefigurative partaking – aspirational, individual, professional, critical, loyal and communal – we have found that employee activism is incremental, horizontal and boundaryless. We discuss these findings in relation to recent calls for more fruitful exchanges between social movement theory and organization studies, arguing that Rancière’s conceptualization of politics can help us study actions that span civil society and business. This complements and expands our understanding of environmental activism as a dispersed set of actions that can take place anywhere, and hence also at work.

Abstract:
Abstract Sickle cell disease (SCD) is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder caused by a point mutation in the human β-globin gene. Patients harboring this mutation can exhibit long-chain polymers of hemoglobin and sickle-shaped red blood cells, and suffer from severe medical manifestations including hemolysis and vaso-occlusive crises. Multiple preclinical, clinical and epidemiologic studies have shown that the levels of unmutated fetal hemoglobin (HbF encoded by the γ-globin gene) correlate with less severe disease, validating HbF induction as a therapeutic approach in SCD. Treatment with hydroxyurea (HU), the only approved therapy for SCD, results in a variable induction of HbF and significant improvement in the frequency of pain crises. However, a significant percentage of patients treated with HU fail to exhibit durable benefit, necessitating the need for alternative therapeutic agents. The human γ-globin gene is repressed in the post-natal period by epigenetic mechanisms, and therefore may lend itself to pharmacological intervention aimed at derepressing gene expression. One of the most important of these epigenetic mechanisms is catalyzed by lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1), a histone demethylase that removes mono-/dimethyl marks from the lysine 4 and 9 residues of histone H3 through an FAD-directed redox process. Here, we report the characterization of selective, potent, and orally bioavailable LSD1 inhibitors from two classes - FAD-directed inhibitors that achieve inhibitory activity through formation of covalent FAD-adducts and non-FAD-directed, reversible inhibitors - and demonstrate their ability to induce γ-globin gene expression in murine and primate preclinical models. In the Towne's SCD mouse model, oral administration of LSD1 inhibitors significantly increased HbF+ cell (F cell) production. Concurrent with the increase in F cells, sickle cell numbers, reticulocyte counts, and bilirubin levels were all markedly reduced, indicating an amelioration of several pathophysiological features of SCD. FAD- and non-FAD-directed LSD1 inhibitors were more effective than HU in increasing F cells production, and the combination of HU and suboptimal doses of LSD1 inhibitors resulted in a greater induction of F cells and more pronounced reductions in reticulocyte counts and bilirubin levels. In addition to the humanized SCD model, HbF induction in response to LSD1 inhibitor treatment was evaluated in non-anemic cynomolgus monkeys. Oral administration of LSD1 inhibitors significantly induced F cells and HbF in a dose-dependent manner and over a sustained period (>50 days) following the discontinuation of treatment. The percentage of induced F cells in total RBCs was linearly correlated with the percentage of HbF protein induced by LSD1 inhibition. Taken together, these results support the potential utility of LSD1 inhibition as a novel therapeutic approach to increase HbF production.

Abstract:
This paper developed a three-level supply chain network equilibrium model with multi products and multicriteria based on corporate social responsibility through integrating the maximization of economic benefits, the maximization of social utility and the minimization of environment pollution under revenue-sharing contract. We analysed competitive behaviour of manufactures and retailers in a no cooperative competitive and described the multicriteria decision-making behaviour using Nash equilibrium theory and the weighted value function. Using product utility functions of brand differentiation and consumer preferences from product price, transaction cost and corporation social responsibility to analyse product choice in a market, and we developed the optimization conditions of each tier and whole network by variational inequality method. At last we illustrated the model with several numerical examples.

Abstract:
This dissertation deals with identification, classification and efficiency assessment in general and is later on applied to Wüstenrot - Building and Loan Association, a.s. Process is the core unit of the procedural type of Organization Management. Therefore, the Building and Loan Asociation defines the key processes and proceeds to the process mapping at the selected detail level. In the first place, this concerns the corporational detail level. Secondly, processes of Customer Satisfication are elaborated. These processes make a synergic effect and cause most valuable benefits providing the fact they are controlled. This means the Corporation Management has to reflect to the outcomes of the Process Efficiency Assessment. Every single process is described from the current situation point of view. Subsequently, proposals are made to improve its efficiency assessment.

Abstract:
The central arguments in this thesis rest on two premises. Firstly language and context are intimately bound up in the social construction of workplace gender inequalities. Secondly, organisational understandings and management of women�s access to employment opportunities and rewards in modern bureaucratic organisations are constituted through discourses or systems of organisational knowledges, practices and rules of organising. This study uses the concept of discourse to account for the productive and powerful role of knowledge and language practices in constituting the organisational contexts and meanings through which people make sense of and experience complex organisations.

Many community development corporations are broadening their program components while seeking efficient and effective ways of measuring their impacts. Recent advances in information technology have created "cloud" database platforms that are well suited for tracking individual information, and are customizable, extensible, and have built-in reporting functionality. Are these comprehensive individual level data systems feasible for CDCs to implement, and what utility do such systems provide for program improvement? I examine these questions using case studies from Greater Boston organizations that have begun to Implement these types of systems. I find that all organizations' initial system setup required intensive staff time, as well as consulting support in a range of domains. The direct cost of setup varies substantially ($8,000 -$100,000), and depends highly on the degree to which consultants are used. Although organizations are primarily motivated by an interest in understanding and improving their programs, they also believe that funders and partners will increasingly require data-driven evidence of program impact. Overall, organizations believe their new data systems are worthwhile investments that save substantial staff time in reporting and provide a richer understanding of programs. There are several best practices or recommendations for other CDCs or community based organizations. 1) Developing a database cannot be done in isolation, and requires a team with a breadth of expertise (technical, evaluation, program knowledge). 2) Be prepared for iteration: data systems will need continued changes and refinement as programs change. Organizations should have a plan to address these changes, including adequate staffing. 3) Before developing a data system, substantial strategic planning should be completed. Without agreement on metrics, and an understanding of the activities that will lead to intended outcomes, it is easy for organizations to waste time developing a system that collects information of little value.

Abstract:
Esta pesquisa examinou se a tomada de decisão dos agentes considera os custos e benefícios do planejamento tributário e se boas práticas de governança corporativa reduzem o engajamento dos gestores na prática de planejamento tributário. Adicionalmente, investigouse a relação entre utilidade esperada/valor esperado do planejamento tributário e o endividamento das empresas. Para mensurar se a prática do planejamento tributário tem relação com a maximização da utilidade esperada do agente (maximização dos benefícios gerados), desenvolveu-se um modelo baseado na proposta de Alligham e Sandmo (1972), segundo a qual, a prática do planejamento tributário está relacionada a uma análise econômica dos custos e benefícios desta ação. As premissas utilizadas foram o período de 13 anos de discussão administrativa e judicial do débito tributário, correção do débito tributário, custo de capital de terceiros e encargos de 100% do valor do tributo (multa, juros e honorários advocatícios). Os resultados foram expandidos para diversos cenários de tempo (períodos de 8, 13 e 18 anos), encargos de 50%, 100% e 150% e variável dependente calculada com base nos valores registrados como passivos contingentes (notas explicativas), contingências fiscais prováveis (reconhecida nas demonstrações contábeis), e soma de ambas. Além disso, as análises foram feitas em nível (nominal escalonada pelo ativo total) e logaritmo. A amostra pesquisa foi composta pelas empresas brasileiras de capital aberto que fizeram parte do índice IBrX100 e abrange o período de 2008 a 2015. As análises empíricas confirmam que na maior parte dos casos a utilidade esperada do agente (valor esperado) é positiva, indicando que a tomada de decisão sobre a prática de planejamento tributário é fruto da maximização da utilidade esperada do agente, o que pode explicar os elevados números registrados de provisões e passivos contingentes nas demonstrações financeiras e notas explicativas das empresas. Além disso, identificou-se que regras rígidas de governança corporativa possuem correlação negativa com a utilidade esperada do agente, podendo ser considerada como um desincentivo à prática de planejamento tributário. Identificou-se ainda, que a variável endividamento apresentou correlação negativa com a utilidade esperada ou o valor esperado do planejamento tributário. A utilização de um modelo para avaliação da utilidade esperada/valor esperado do planejamento tributário pode contribuir para a melhor compreensão desse fenômeno e para a proposição futuras de políticas públicas.
This study examined whether the decision-making of the agents considers the costs and benefits of tax avoidance and if good practices of corporate governance reduces the engagement of managers in the practice of tax avoidance. Additionally, it was investigated the relationship between the expected utility/expected value of tax avoidance and the indebtedness of the companies. In order to measure if the practice of tax avoidance is related to the maximization of the expected utility of the agent (maximization of the benefits generated), a model based on the proposal of Alligham and Sandmo (1972) was developed, according to which the practice of tax avoidance is related to an economic analysis of the costs and benefits. The premises used were the period of time of 13 years of administrative and judicial lawsuit, correction of the tax debt, cost of debt and charges of 100% (fine, interest and legal fees) over the tax unpaid. The results were expanded to several time scenarios (periods of 8, 13 and 18 years), charges of 50%, 100% and 150% and dependent variable calculated based on the amounts recorded as contingent liabilities (footnotes), tax provisions (financial statements), and sum of both. Furthermore, the analyses were done at level (nominal staggered by total assets) and logarithm. The research sample was composed of Brazilian publicly traded companies that were part of the IBrX100 index and covers the period between 2008 and 2015. Empirical analysis confirms that in most of the cases, the expected utility of the agent (expected value) is positive, indicating that the decision on the tax avoidance practice is a result of the maximization of the agent\'s expected utility, which may explain the large numbers of provisions and contingent liabilities in the financial statements and the footnotes of the companies. In addition, it was identified that rigid rules of corporate governance practices has a negative correlation with the expected utility of the agent, and can be considered as a disincentive to the practice of tax avoidance. It was also identified that the indebtedness variable presented a negative correlation with the expected utility or the expected value of the tax avoidance. The use of a model to evaluate the expected utility/expected value of tax avoidance can contribute to a better understanding of this phenomenon and to the future proposition of public policies.

A Orizaba, les corporations religieuses construisirent et dominèrent l'espace public tout au long du XVIIIe siècle. Elles étaient considérées comme étant « d'utilité du public », mais dès la fin du siècle, des efforts importants furent entrepris pour reformer les corporations religieuses à partir de nouveaux critères d'utilité. Les changements les plus radicaux se produisirent après l'indépendance (1821), avec la formation d'une « opinion publique» moderne, qui donna naissance à de nouvelles idées de réforme de l'Eglise, et avec la formation d'un Etat dont les acteurs politiques, au nom de la « cause publique », considéraient les corporations religieuses comme étant inutiles, voire dangereuses.

Taiwan Sugar Corporation (TSC) was founded in 1946. It has been 72 years. TSC is a corporation managed by Ministry of Economic Affairs in Taiwan. TSC has more than 49 thousand hectares land assets in the end of. 2017. In the early days, the export of sugar was the main source of foreign exchange earnings in Taiwan. The economic has been transformed in the past 20 years in Taiwan. The agricultural economic output value has been decreasing year by year, and the government has approved the policy of importing people's livelihood sugar, which directly impacts the survival of TSC. Therefore, the sugar factories have been reduced from 36 to only two, Shanhua and Huwei, since 1947 in Taiwan. In the future, TSC needs to positivity change the business direction in rapidly changing environment since it was focused on agricultural produces development. Land is the largest asset of TSC. Therefore, TSC make the idle land can be used for activation and reuse to get other earning. This study will use the cases of the Tainan Land Management District Office, by Papers, 2006~2017 data collecting, and survey of experts’ opinions, to analyze the trends of land management of the Tainan Land Management District Office. Tainan Land Management District Office use three priority of the activation methods , land bidding and renting、superficies and lending to other government agencies to make green earth , now. The end of this study has provided many suggestions to land management , land activation direction and cost down to improve earning.

Re-structure of the domestic electricity market business model, in the electricity market gradually open, full of unlimited business opportunities, with the industrial environment expand the competition mechanism, bring the power industry opportunities and challenges. With the changes in industrial structure and environment, " nuclear power free homeland " was included in the national energy policy , and push forward the development of green energy industry, the Taiwan power industry must pay attention to the internal and external resources inventory and integration, through the value network architecture system, analysis and its suppliers, manufacturers, customers and suppliers of Co-opetition relations. The value of the network between the close interaction between manufacturers, and both the dual characteristics of competition and cooperation. In the face of different objects and inside and outside the factors will have different changes, thus triggering this study want to explore the Taiwan IPP industries value network manufacturers Co-opetition relationship. In this study, qualitative case studies were used to classify the value network architecture proposed by Brandenburger and Nalebuff (1996): Supplier, Competitor, complementor and Customer. To Taiwan IPP industries, as a case study, to analyze their various competitive and cooperative action, as well as for the competition and cooperation activities in response to action. And summarized the attitudes and practices of the various participants in the value network that will offer to existing IPP industries and company who have the intention to enter the Taiwan power market. The results show that for Independent Power Producer, the possibility of taking the initiatively cooperative activities to suppliers is lower, the possibility of responding to supplier’s cooperative activities is higher, the possibility of taking the initiatively competitive activities to competitors is lower, the possibility of responding to competitor's competitive activities is lower, the possibility of taking the initiatively competitive activities to complementors is lower, the possibility of responding to complementor 's competitive activities is lower, the possibility of taking the initiatively cooperative activities to customers is lower, the possibility of responding to customer’s cooperative activities is higher.

Taiwan Sugar Corporation (TSC) has large tract of agricultural land. Over the past years, it has not only conducted business of granulated sugar and byproducts, but also has provided support to finance and land to the country in due time when the country was implementing various economic and construction policies at all stages, thus exerted enormous contribution to the development of the country’s economy. In response to the upsurge of economic liberalization since 1981, a vast scale of reform on Taiwan’s agriculture and sugar industry has been brought about. In order to cope with rapid decline of sugar industry in Taiwan, the Ministry of Economic Affairs authorized TSC to “Selecting proper land sections for development of tourism undertakings and for utility of construction undertaking to coordinate with urban planning”, revised ”Procedure for trading and exchanging land of government-owned enterprises”, and added “Land of government-owned enterprises planned for development, approved by Executive Yuan, and developed according to the said plan may be sold”, which allowed TSC to release private land. At that moment, TSC focused on the issues of expropriating and selling land as policy of release. That was the reason TSC being doubted selling family property for the purpose of prettify the accounts. However Council for Economic Planning and Development, Executive Yuan, promoted “Project for Six-Year National Construction” to extensively reallocate overall resource of our country in 1991. Large-scale public infrastructure required not only sufficient financial budget but also needed to encourage private participation and investment more actively. This Project planned to use 8,822 hectares of TSC’s land. Under such developmental context, only an analysis on “Overall Planning and Utility of TSC’s Land Resource” could identify agricultural land which had lower productivity, and could coordinate land development project, area plan, major national economic development project, and local development to proceed the strategic planning of land development, in order to provide large amount of land for national construction, as well as create the opportunity for sustainable management in accordance with national policy, so as to form good image for the company. In recent years, privatization of government-owned enterprises presenting poor performance has displayed a trend in many countries. Nevertheless, TSC’s land disposal primarily aimed on implementing the goal of national policy. The country was the policy maker, and TSC was the policy executor. In other words, the country exploited TSC’s land resource based on policy to subsidize enterprises for their cost of land usage, which turned TSC’s land into policy tool to play the role of attracting capital investment. TSC’s land creating business income was mainly under Kaohsiung District Office. Therefore, this Office had many problems in land management. And now as Kaohsiung City and County consolidated on December 25, 2010, which led to increase in hinterland for the newly formed Kaohsiung Municipality. Due to the requirement of a balance in local development, the overall planning for the land of Kaohsiung Municipality will emerge some changes. How to separate the city and the industry has become a critical issue for the new municipal government. Since about 5,400 hectares out of the land managed by the Kaohsiung District Office is not located in the urban, expansion of industry has become to a must. As a result, TSC’s land which has not been developed or used after urban readjustment and has been returned from zone appropriation will incur huge amount of land tax and irregular cost for land management and maintenance. It is an important issue for Kaohsiung District Office in solving the problem lying in land management and utility in order to create maximum performance and comply with the requirement of economic development without wasting land resource. Through literature review and data collection and investigation, this study tried to figure out TSC’s historical policies on land from history which were implemented and from literatures, problems of land management occurred due to its land released to targeted authority for the purpose of fostering the industry under its competence, and whether such problems of control would last. On the other hand, this study also figured out the correlation of spatial development between the overall planning proposed by Kaohsiung Government after city-county consolidation and land management of Kaohsiung District Office, the problems occurred before and after city-county consolidation through analysis, and illustrated the problems TSC had in management and utility due to city-county consolidation by way of case study.

Abstract:
This chapter focuses on the century-old regulatory challenge that is posed by a key feature of traditional utility sectors such as energy, fixed telephony, and water: their reliance on a physical (not a digital) local distribution network for delivering the relevant service to millions of dwellings and business premises, and the incorporation of bottlenecks within such networks. Key issues explored include the scope of regulation within a network utility, how network prices are regulated, minimizing network costs and regulating outputs more broadly, how to set the rate of return on capital allowed to the network, and the future of network regulation.

Abstract:
The purpose of this chapter is to explore some of the problems of the transformation necessary to the business model of water and wastewater utility companies into a circular economy. This goal is accomplished by extending the understanding of the business model beyond the conventional understanding “within the framework of the corporation.” This expansion of the scope of the water and wastewater utility companies' business model is justified by the fact that water, the source of their business, is a vital natural capital, and along with its economic value, water is a recognized human right. The study elaborates on the part of the business model related to the issues of fair treatment of society in its relations with business. The authors also explore the issue of value creation for stakeholders not only within a business but also through cooperation between water businesses and stakeholders.

<i>Abstract</i>.—Fishing tournaments are high profile events that are important to the recreational fishing industry. Tournaments are also under increasing scrutiny by governments, environmental groups, and the broader community. Much of this attention focuses on potential impacts on fish stocks, fish welfare in catch-and-release tournaments, and other issues such as potentially negative social impacts on local communities. The recreational fishing industry in Australia identified a need to be proactive in demonstrating sound environmental management of these events. The result was NEATFish, otherwise known as the Standard for National Environmental Assessment of Tournament Fishing. The NEATFish Standard is a novel concept that is based on a 1–5 star-rating system designed to provide tournament organizers with an objective assessment of how well their tournament meets certain environmental, social, and economic criteria. NEATFish was developed utilizing ISO 17050 with a pathway to allow 5-star events to migrate to a more robust certification under ISO 14001 if desired. The NEATFish Standard was developed with funding from the Fisheries Research and Development Corporation after a comprehensive consultation process with key stakeholders in the recreational fishing industry, sponsors, insurance agencies, fisheries management agencies, environmental groups, and certification bodies. Benefits to participating tournaments include reduced insurance premiums, recognition by sponsors, and greater acceptance within the broader community. The standard is currently being considered for use by several organizations, including marine parks authorities. Development of the concept is continuing through establishment of an interactive Web site, www.neatfish.com, where tournament organizers can undertake the certification process and gain accreditation online, greatly increasing the utility and uptake of the standard.

The increasing of the storage system capacity and the reduction of the access time have allowed the development of new technologies which have afforded solutions for the automatic treatment of great databases. In this chapter a methodology to create Enterprise Information Systems which are capable of using all information available about customers is proposed. As example of utilization of this methodology, an Enterprise Information System for classification of customer problems is proposed. This EIS implements several technologies. Data Warehousing and Data Mining are two technologies which can analyze automatically corporative databases. Integration of these two technologies is proposed by the present work together with a rule based expert system to classify the utility consumption through the information stored in corporative databases.

Abstract:
This chapter discusses a framework to temper the impact of knowledge leakage and how losing the source of what gives life to the business can lead to its demise. Explicit practices should be sustained by limiting access and understood in averting loss. Explicit knowledge is expressed and categorized in work performance. In outsourced assignments, technical knowhow can be transferred accessed learnt and communicated throughout the entire organization. Viewed as technical know-how the firm can utilize it to make goods and services that are demanded by customers. Data generated from outsourcing should be analyzed to uncover data-driven pitfalls employing analytics to describe the nature of current talent, accurately forecasting staffing and material usage to leverage outsourcing of sustainable practices. Technical know-how permeates the firm in making the difference. It is pervasive in the value creation process and as such it is only prudent to prevent leakage to maintain productivity.

Abstract:
Background: Complement system is one of ancient innate immune systems in our body fighting against pathogens and foreign bodies. Either one of its three pathways, classical, alternative or lectin activates it. Because of its role and importance in combating against different pathological conditions, it works through defined proteins including regulators and inhibitors. However, over or under stimulation of complement system can lead to various diseases. A number of analytical assays are used to measure complement proteins and its activation states considering complement 3 (C3), complement 4 (C4) as the most common test used. Objectives: Our aims are to study the clinical utility and cost effectiveness of C3 and C4 among different clinical subspecialties in Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC), Doha-Qatar. Design and methods: A retrospective study was conducted using electronic medical records to generate patient’s list from clinical immunology laboratory at HMC. Data on 326 patients were collected from 1st January till 31st March, 2017 and used as pilot study after omitting duplications. The data was studied for its demographical, disease categories, C3 and C4 test results. C3 and C4 test cost were calculated inside HMC and compared to other healthcare providers in country and abroad. Results: A total of 326 patients, 148 males and 178 females (M/F ratio:0.8:1), of age (mean age ±SD) of 36 ± 17.6 years. 289(86%) were >15 years and 47(14%) were 15 or less. Kidney diseases (34%), autoimmune diseases (25%), and allergic diseases (18%) were the top 3 diseases, and constituted 77% of all diseases. 45/336 (13.4%) showed low C3, C4, or both. Mean levels of C3 (±SD) was 120.8 ±36.3 mg/dl, and C4 was27.85±11.9 mg/dl. High C3 and C4 levels were observed in 53 (15.7%) of patients. The cost of performing one test either C3 or C4 in HMC is 22 QR ($6), while other healthcare providers inside the country costed 150-300 QR ($41.2-$82.4). Conclusion: Autoimmune diseases, renal diseases and joist diseases were the most common diseases with low C3 and C4 levels. Although the cost of a single test of C3 or C4 is low, the total annual cost is huge. The treating physician is recommended to exercise judicious clinical wisdom when ordering C3 or C4 tests as diagnostic tools

Abstract:
Abstract The SunDish is a solar thermal power system designed to produce utility-grade electricity from concentrated sunlight. The system is based on a reflective solar dish concentrator that concentrates solar energy to a Stirling engine/generator, producing a net output of up to 22kW at 1000 W/sq. m. of insolation (Stine and Diver, 1994). Salt River Project (SRP), Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC), STM Corporation, and the U.S. Department of Energy have cooperated to install and operate a prototype SunDish at the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community Landfill (SRP-MICL) in Tempe, Arizona. Operational results and experiences are discussed. At the site, methane gas is collected from the landfill and used as fuel in the SunDish to generate electricity when sunlight is not available due to clouds, and at night. Gas operation has presented some challenges, and operational experiences and incidents are discussed. Finally, design changes and system improvements that have resulted from operation of the prototype SunDish are discussed.

Abstract:
Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) models give good predictions of coal combustion in utility boilers if the coal combustion kinetic parameters are known. We developed a three-step methodology to provide reliable prediction of the behavior of a coal in a utility boiler: (1) Obtaining the combustion kinetic model parameters from a series of experiments in a test facility, CFD codes and optimization algorithm. (2) Validation of the combustion kinetic parameters by comparison of different experimental data with simulation results obtained by the set of combustion kinetic parameters. (3) The extracted kinetic parameters are then used for simulations of full-scale boilers using the same CFD code. Three to four bituminous and sub-bituminous coals with known behavior in Israel Electric Corporation (IEC) 550MW opposite-wall (3 coals) and 575MW tangential-fired (4 coals) boilers were used to show the capability of the method. An unfamiliar bituminous coal was then examined prior of its firing in the utility boilers and prediction of its combustion behavior in the two boilers was carried out. This methodology was used to examine a Venezuelan coal that was found to yield high LOI.

Abstract:
Westinghouse Electric Corporation and Avco Research Lab/TEXTRON have been working for three years on a Department of Energy program to establish the technology required for commercially viable direct coal-fueled utility-size gas turbine combined cycles. These plants are to meet the EPA’s New Source Performance Standards for coal-fired steam generators and to generate power at a favorable cost-of-electricity relative to steam plants with flue gas desulfurization. Economic projections indicate that the latter goal is achievable by a method of approach which uses inexpensive utility-grade coal, and removes the resulting sulfur and ash through use of a slagging combustor in the gas turbine cycle. High pressure, subscale slagging combustor tests have been underway for several months at Avco Research Laboratory and are encouraging. Experimental highlights are shown here.

This paper presents an industrial case study performed on an in-house developed data management system for an automation firm. This data management system has been in use and evolving over a span of fifteen years. To ensure the system is robust to withstand the future growth of the corporation, a study is done to identify deficiencies that may prohibit efficient large scale data management. Specifically, this case study focused on the means in which project requirements are managed and explored the issues of perceived utility in the system. Two major findings are presented: completion metrics are not consistent or expressive of the actual needs and there is no linking between the activities and the original client requirements. Thus, the results of the study were used to depict the potential vulnerability of such deficiencies.

Abstract:
Over the past decade, members of the Upgraded Coal Interest Group and EPRI, the Department of Energy, the Energy and Environmental Research Corporation (GE-EER), Washington Energy Processing (WEP), Penn State University and the previous owners and operators of Seward Station located in western Pennsylvania, conducted a series of formulation and combustion tests using coal waste fines as a low solids coal water slurry cofiring fuel for electric power generation. The fine coal was recovered from coal fines impoundments and fresh coal cleaning plant fines that were cleaned, thickened and then cofired with pulverized coal in utility scale boilers. This paper explains the need for a program to eliminate these impoundments and describes the results of some of the tests conducted on the technology that demonstrate the effectiveness of trimming NOx emissions by the use of slurry cofiring. This method of trimming NOx emission has been shown to have the capability of reducing NOx emissions by 20% to 35% below the levels achieved by some low NOx burners and selective non-catalytic reduction systems (SNCRs).

Abstract:
Abstract Radian Corporation has developed extensive data display capabilities to analyze vibration and acoustic data from structures and rotating equipment. The Machinery Interactive Display and Analysis System (MIDAS) displays data collected through the acquisition functions of MIDAS. The graphics capabilities include displaying spectra in three-dimensional waterfall and in X-Y formats. Both types of plots can relate vibrations to time, equipment speed, or process parameters. Using menu-driven parameter selection, data can be displayed in formats that are the most useful for analysis. The system runs on a popular mini-computer, and it can be used with a great variety of graphics terminals, workstations, and printer/plotters. The software was designed and written for interactive display and plotting. Automatic plotting of large data files is facilitated by a batch plotting mode. The user can define display formats for the analysis of noise and vibration problems in the electric utility, chemical processing, paper, and automotive industries. This paper describes the history and development of graphics capabilities of the MIDAS system. The system, as illustrated in the examples, has proven efficient and economical for displaying large quantities of data.

Abstract:
Tucson Electric Power Company (TEP) currently has nearly 5.0 MWdc of utility-scale grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) systems that have been installed in its service territory since 2000. Most of this installed PV capacity is in support of the Arizona Corporation Commission Environmental Portfolio Standard (EPS) goal that encourages TEP to generate 1.1% of its energy generation through renewable resources by 2007, with 60% of that amount from photovoltaics. The EPS program provides for multi-year, pay-as-you-go development of renewable energy, with kWhac energy production as a key program measurement. A total of 26 crystalline silicon collector systems, each rated at 135 kWdc, have been installed at the Springerville, AZ generating plant by TEP making this one of the largest PV plants in the world. These systems were installed in a standardized, cookie-cutter approach whereby each uses the same array field design, mounting hardware, electrical interconnection, and inverter unit. This approach has allowed TEP to achieve a total installed system cost of $5.40/Wdc and a TEP-calculated levelized energy cost of $0.10/kWhac for PV electrical generation. During this time, much has been learned regarding performance, cost, maintenance, installation and design. This paper presents an assessment of these topics and a perspective associated with this PV experience.

Abstract:
A program has been underway since 1986 by Westinghouse Electric Corporation, Textron, Inc., and the sponsoring agency, the Morgantown Energy Technology Center (METC) of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), as participants, to establish the technology base for coal-fired combustion turbines targeted for power generation (50 to 150 MW size units). The developed system must be able to burn unbeneficiated, low-cost, utility-grade coal and meet the EPA New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for coal-fired steam generators (Thoman et al., 1987). Development of a high pressure (12 to 16 atms) slagging combustor is the key to making a direct coal-fired combustion turbine a commercial reality. In testing to date, a 6 atm slagging combustor, rated at 12 MMBtu/hr (12.7 MHkJ/hr) has demonstrated its ability to handle high- and low-sulfur bituminous coals, and low-sulfur subbituminous coal. The program objectives relative to combustion efficiency, combustor exit temperature and pattern factor, NOx emissions, carbon burnout, and slag rejection have been met. Today, Northern States Power, working with Westinghouse with assistance from Textron is developing a plan to commercialize a direct coal-fired advanced combined cycle (DCFACC). Included in this plan is a pilot plant (which does not include a combustion turbine) and a demonstration plant that would utilize a 50 MW combustion turbine. The first commercial DCFACC, which would Include a 100 MW combustion turbine, is scheduled to be operational by the year 2001. The cooperative effort among Northern States Power, Westinghouse, and Textron is financially independent of the work now sponsored by DOE/METC. This paper presents the status of the pressurized slagging combustor development program including recent work to reduce alkali, particulates and SOx levels leaving the combustor and gives an overview of our commercialization process and plan.

Abstract:
This rapid review synthesises evidence on the current size of the digital market, the countries promoting development of digital business and their approach through Trade Policies or Incentive Frameworks, and the current and potential size of the market with the UK / China / US / other significant countries. It draws on a variety of sources, including reports by international organisations (such as the World Bank and OECD), grey literature produced by think tanks and the private sector, and peer reviewed academic papers. A high proportion of estimates of the size of the digital economy come from research conducted by or for corporations and industry bodies, such as Google and the GSMA (which represents the telecommunications industry). Their research may be influenced by their business interests, the methodologies and data sources they utilise are often opaque, and the information required to critically assess findings is sometimes missing. Given this, the estimates presented in this review are best seen as ballpark figures rather than precise measurements. A limitation of this rapid evidence review stems from the lack of consistent methodologies for estimating the size of the digital economy. The OECD is attempting to develop a standard approach to measuring the digital economy across the national accounts of the G20, but this has not yet been finalised. This makes comparing the results of different studies very challenging. The problem is particularly stark in low income countries, where there are frequently huge gaps in the relevant data.
