Penrith - Oregon Carbon Policy Options for Legislators-150911-CAMSean Penrith
This document discusses potential policy pathways for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in Oregon. It summarizes research on existing carbon pricing mechanisms around the world and evaluates options for Oregon, including a cap-and-trade program modeled after California's system or a carbon tax. It also discusses implications of regional coordination with other West Coast jurisdictions and how different policies could help Oregon comply with federal clean power regulations. The document advocates that no single policy will be sufficient and that comprehensive, well-designed programs are most likely to achieve deep emission reductions.
La Unión Europea ha propuesto un nuevo paquete de sanciones contra Rusia que incluye un embargo al petróleo. El embargo prohibiría las importaciones de petróleo ruso por mar y limitaría las importaciones por oleoducto. Sin embargo, Hungría, Eslovaquia y la República Checa se oponen al embargo al petróleo, ya que dependen en gran medida de las importaciones rusas.
This document discusses transgender issues from an anti-transgender perspective in Islam. It defines transgender as a dissatisfaction with one's physical sex and gender identity. It is against transgender on the grounds that: 1) Transgender surgery changes God's creation without valid reason, going against Islamic law. 2) It is ungrateful to Allah. 3) It sets a bad example. 4) It goes against God's nature. 5) Transgender people may behave possessively in relationships. 6) Transgender people are at high risk for HIV/AIDS. The document concludes that transgender issues should be treated through spiritual and psychological therapy rather than surgery, and surgery changing one's sex is forbidden in Islam.
The document contains a series of words arranged in a grid. Each word is presented individually and can be defined or described in different ways based on its meaning and relationship to other words.
Springley Water is re-launching and has hired Boston Consulting Matrix to help. Boston Consulting will use Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs model to understand what motivates customers and ensure their basic needs are met through the new water offering before focusing on higher-level needs. The re-launch aims to better serve customers by applying psychological theories of human motivation.

Phenomenological Decomposition Heuristics for Process Design Synthesis of Oil...Alkis Vazacopoulos
The processing of a raw material is a phenomenon that varies its quantity and quality along a specific network and logics and logistics to transform it into final products. To capture the production framework in a mathematical programming model, a full space formulation integrating discrete design variables and quantity-quality relations gives rise to large scale non-convex mixed-integer nonlinear models, which are often difficult to solve. In order to overcome this problem, we propose a phenomenological decomposition heuristic to solve separately in a first stage the quantity and logic variables in a mixed-integer linear model, and in a second stage the quantity and quality variables in a nonlinear programming formulation. By considering different fuel demand scenarios, the problem becomes a two-stage stochastic programming model, where nonlinear models for each demand scenario are iteratively restricted by the process design results. Two examples demonstrate the tailor-made decomposition scheme to construct the complex oil-refinery process design in a quantitative manner.
This document discusses the creative choices made in developing the elements of a thriller film, including the title design, production company logo, location shooting, character introductions, and adherence to thriller genre conventions. The filmmaker aimed to establish mystery and intrigue through stylistic fonts, silhouettes, and withholding character details at the start, while also considering realism and narrative pacing. Overall, they felt the film fit well into the thriller genre aside from using teenage actors rather than adults.
The document is discussing different daily activities. It mentions waking up, eating breakfast, going to school or work, eating lunch, drinking tea, eating dinner, watching TV and going to sleep.
This document introduces hybrid dynamic simulation (HDS) and IAL's Industrial Modeling Framework (IMF) for modeling and simulating combined discrete and continuous systems. HDS simultaneously solves problems over time, space, structure and phenomena. IMF uses IAL's Industrial Modeling Programming Language (IMPL) which can model hybrid systems using logical expressions to represent discrete changes and solve problems simultaneously over all time periods. IMPL includes specialized solvers for hybrid dynamic simulation problems.
This document discusses architecture and buildings, providing a brief history of architecture and exploring concepts like walls, form, and whether buildings can communicate. It also references the national motto "E Pluribus Unum" and compares classrooms to design studios.
This document outlines Eoin Cullen's personal brand for eMarketing. It describes that he enjoys various sports like golf, darts, and football and is a member of several sports clubs. It also notes that Eoin Cullen maintains active presences on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and through blogging. Contact information of a phone number and email address are provided to get in touch.
The document discusses child care subsidies in Toronto and advocates for increasing access to them. It notes that child care fees are expensive and about 20,000 children are waiting for subsidies. The group's mission is to help families in need afford quality early learning programs. They plan to research subsidies, survey parents, and create resources to help more families access subsidies and communicate with agencies.
This document provides details from an energy audit conducted at a home, including:
1) An overview of the property layout, electrical systems, solar potential, insulation, hot water, water use, pool, and assessment of the lounge room.
2) Utility billing information and recommendations for upgrades like installing solar panels, additional ceiling insulation, a pool timer, and sealing drafts.
3) The auditor assessed energy usage and provided the homeowner with potential rebates and estimated installation costs for improving the home's efficiency.

The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help alleviate symptoms of mental illness and boost overall mental well-being.
World War II involved massive land battles across Europe between Allied and Axis forces from 1942 to 1945. Major Allied military leaders like Montgomery, Clark, Alexander, Patton, Bradley, and Devers led multiple army groups and task forces against Axis armies in theaters across Western, Central, and Eastern Europe. Overlapping operations across many army groups advanced the Allied front lines back towards Germany over three years of costly fighting until final victory in Europe in 1945.

This document discusses gonioscopy, including its anatomy, techniques, indications, and findings. Gonioscopy allows direct visualization of the anterior chamber angle to assess for narrowing and closure, which are risk factors for glaucoma. Several lenses and techniques for direct and indirect gonioscopy are described. Key landmarks in the angle including the scleral spur, trabecular meshwork, and Schwalbe's line are identified. Grading systems like Shaffer and Spaeth are presented to classify angle width and structure. Difficulties in gonioscopy and alternatives for angle assessment are also reviewed.
