Canada has become a major producer and exporter of wood pellets in the world. But the low water resistivity and the high transportation cost impede the market development. Torrefaction may provide a solution. The present study developed the torrefaction kinetics, studied the torrefaction reaction conditions in two bench-scale reactors, and identified the suitable conditions for making durable torrefied pellets in a press machine. The weight lo...

We can broadly classify today's access networks into two camps: wired and wireless access. Traditional wired access techniques include digital subscriber loop (DSL) and hybrid-fiber coax (HFC) networks. These techniques can generally support bandwidth in a range of several Mb/s and a maximal transmission distance up to several hundred meters. To support even higher bandwidth and longer transmission distances, a new generation of broadband fibe...

According to previous measurements and models, classical DLVO surface forces sometimes cannot satisfactorily or even fail to interpret the experimental observations, which lead to the proposal of some non-DLVO surface forces such as hydrophobic force or hydration force. Meanwhile, the specific ion effects on bubble coalescence, which are governed by these DLVO and non-DLVO surface forces, are still obscure. Hence, the monograph intends to intr...

Revision with unchanged content. China, as the largest emerging economy in the world, began its accounting reforms in the early 1990s. It is not known, however, whether its accounting reforms, intended to harmonize with the International Accounting Standard (IAS, now known as IFRS), have been successful and what the impact of the reform on Chinese listed firms is. This book empirically assessed the status and progress of the harmonization of C...

Entgegen dem Anschein, dass das Christentum heute in Europa eine von Geistesarmut geprägte Altersphase durchläuft, findet man bei näherer Betrachtung eine Fülle von Neuaufbrüchen. Menschen wagen es, sich auf neue, persönliche und je unterschiedliche Weise auf das Evangelium einzulassen. Beispielhaft dafür stehen die in diesem Band vorgestellten Personen, die mit ihrem Leben und ihrem Werk prägnante Neuakzente gesetzt haben: Madeleine Delbrêl, ...

​This book presents selected papers on statistical model development related mainly to the fields of Biostatistics and Bioinformatics. The coverage of the material falls squarely into the following categories: (a) Survival analysis and multivariate survival analysis, (b) Time series and longitudinal data analysis, (c) Statistical model development and (d) Applied statistical modelling. Innovations in statistical modelling are presented through...

Green Politics in Japan reveals that green issues have yet to displace the traditional urban politics of post-industrial Japan. Indeed, it seems that political values are still informed by the conservative values of hierarchy and deference

This volume explores US export intermediaries - the specialized service firms which connect domestic manufacturers with overseas buyers. The author investigates what determines their success or failure, using six case studies and a 1000-firm mail survey to highlight his findings.

This book discusses quantum optics and investigates the quantum properties of interactions between atoms and laser fields. It is divided into three parts. Part I introduces the elementary theory of the interaction between atoms and light. Part II provides a concentrated discussion on the quantum properties of light fields. Part III deals with the quantum dynamic properties of the atoms interacting with laser fields. This book can be used as a ...
