The document discusses the global oil market and challenges for Thai refineries. It provides an overview of the global oil market drivers and outlook for oil demand and supply. It notes that while global oil demand is expected to continue growing, the rate of growth will decline. OPEC production will need to increase to meet rising demand. The document also discusses factors influencing oil prices like investment flows, geopolitical risks, and policies. It shares various forecasts for Brent crude oil prices in 2011 from analysts.
Solid-State Lighting Research and Development:
Manufacturing Roadmap
August 2012
U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)
---------------------------------
The goals of the SSL R&D Manufacturing Initiative are to:
• Reduce costs of SSL sources and luminaires;
• Improve product consistency while maintaining high quality products; and
• Encourage the growth, leadership, and sustainability of domestic U.S. manufacturingwithin the SSL industry.
This document discusses the processing and milling of parboiled rice. It begins with an introduction to parboiling rice, which involves soaking, steaming, drying, husking, and milling paddy rice to improve milling yields and quality. The document then describes the materials and methods used, including the equipment for parboiling and milling tests. Results show that water absorption during soaking increases with temperature. Optimal soaking is at 60°C for 2 hours. Steaming leads to differential heating of material layers over time. Parboiling improves rice properties such as milling yield and reduces breakage.

The document summarizes opportunities for UK businesses in the civil nuclear industries across Central and Eastern Europe. It discusses new build projects worth over £66 billion planned across 7 countries in the region. It also outlines opportunities for life extension projects worth over £2.1 billion across 4 countries as well as decommissioning and waste management projects worth £3.5 billion across 5 markets. Country-specific contacts are provided for each market that outline priority nuclear projects.
This document discusses the potential for LED lighting to provide energy savings in high-mast outdoor lighting applications. It describes a case study of the Maine Department of Transportation retrofitting high-mast lights along highways with LED modules. The LED modules from Global Tech use 42 LEDs and consume 392W total per fixture, replacing 1000W HPS lamps. MaineDOT estimates the LED retrofit will save over 600W per fixture and pay for itself in around 4 years due to energy savings and reduced maintenance costs compared to the HPS lamps they previously needed to replace annually. An initial test installation performed well with no issues over 8 months.
Greg McMillan presented on effective use of PID controllers. He discussed tuning PID modes, including the contribution of proportional, integral and derivative modes. He explained how to properly convert tuning parameters when migrating controllers. The presentation provided checklists for migration and tips to improve PID performance and avoid common issues like oscillations.
The document provides information about Malaysia's Feed-in Tariff (FiT) mechanism for renewable energy. The FiT mechanism guarantees producers of renewable energy access to the electricity grid and a fixed price for each kilowatt hour of power generated. This incentive drives investment in renewable resources like biogas, biomass, small hydro and solar photovoltaic. The document outlines the application process and eligibility requirements for individuals and companies to receive the FiT for their renewable energy installations. It also provides examples of estimated energy generation and monthly income under the FiT program.
The document describes Motor Development International's production concept of setting up numerous small turnkey factories around the world rather than large centralized assembly plants. Each factory would be equipped to manufacture 80% of vehicles on site and sell them locally, simplifying the logistics and reducing pollution compared to the usual system of long supply chains and transporting finished vehicles globally. The MDI concept aims to lower costs through localized production and bulk purchasing coordinated centrally.
This document provides context about the book "Child Art and Education" by Devi Prasad. It discusses:
1) Devi Prasad's 15 years of experience teaching art to children in Gandhi's ashram in India which formed the basis of the original book published in Hindi.
2) His work with the pacifist movement for over 20 years which prevented him from further work in art education.
3) The encouragement from friends to translate the book to English so it could reach a wider audience.
4) The challenges in directly translating from Hindi including rewriting the book in English.
5) Ensuring the approach and content remained relevant while addressing developments in approaches to children's art education
This document discusses the rapid population growth in Bangalore, India and the challenges that come with it, including the need for improved infrastructure. It focuses on Bengaluru International Airport, built through an innovative public-private partnership between the Indian government and Siemens. G.V. Sanjay Reddy, Managing Director of the airport, believes such partnerships are key to driving India's success by providing both financing and technological solutions for infrastructure projects. The airport project helped meet Bangalore's rising infrastructure demands as its population increased by 50% between 2001 and 2011.
Engineering & technical presentation of Xiyaburi Dam Project by Pöyry - 16 July2012. Xiyaburi Dam Project will be equipped with 1260MW Hydro Electric Power Plant. This project will be the largest dam ever built across the Mekong River.
