Full textAbstract:
The Coca-Cola affair is a notable incident that is often cited in the history of American investments in France. However, the previous literature has generally not examined the social and economic contexts framing the incident, choosing instead to focus on the perspectives of the French communist attacks on Coca-Cola and the political pressure exerted by the French beverage industry to deny Coca-Cola’s application to operate in France. This article, by analyzing the affair based on a broader historical framework, attempts to offer another perspective on this famous incident. Drawing on French and American archival materials, it argues that the major causes of Coca-Cola’s defeat in France were primarily practical, financial considerations of the French government. The success of Pepsi Cola’s investment project in France provides confirmation of such considerations, and were closely related to France’s ultimate national objectives in the postwar years.

We describe here a collective and experimental research project-based learning (ERPBL) for master’s students that can be used to illustrate some basic concepts on glucose/lipid homeostasis and renal function around a topical issue. The primary objective of this ERPBL was to strengthen students’ knowledge and understanding of physiology and pathophysiology. The secondary objectives were to help students to develop technical/practical abilities and acquire transversal skills with real-world connections. Obesity is a worldwide public health problem that increases the risk for developing type 2 diabetes and nephropathies. To study the impact of western dietary habits, students evaluated the effects of a diet enriched with fat and cola [high-fat and cola diet (HFCD)] on metabolism and renal function in mice. Students mainly worked in tandem to prepare and perform experiments, but also collectively to compile, analyze, and discuss data. Students showed that HFCD-fed mice 1) developed obesity; 2) exhibited glucose homeostasis impairments associated to ectopic fat storage; and 3) displayed reduced glomerular filtration. The educational benefit of the program was estimated using three evaluation metrics: a conventional multicriteria assessment by teachers, a pre-/posttest, and a self-evaluation questionnaire. They showed that the current approach successfully strengthened scientific student knowledge and understanding of physiology/pathophysiology. In addition, it helped students develop new skills, such as technical and transversal skills. We concluded that this ERPBL dealing with the pathophysiology of obesity was strongly beneficial for master’s students, thereby appearing as an efficient and performing educational tool.

"ENSO Prediction in Project Minerva: Sensitivity to Atmospheric Horizontal Resolution and Ensemble Size." Journal of Climate 28, no. 5 (February 26, 2015): 2080–95. http://dx.doi.org/10.1175/jcli-d-14-00302.1.
Full textAbstract:
Abstract This study examines El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) prediction in Project Minerva, a recent collaboration between the Center for Ocean–Land–Atmosphere Studies (COLA) and the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF). The focus is primarily on the impact of the atmospheric horizontal resolution on ENSO prediction, but the effect from different ensemble sizes is also discussed. Particularly, three sets of 7-month hindcasts performed with ECMWF prediction system are compared, starting from 1 May (1 November) during 1982–2011 (1982–2010): spectral T319 atmospheric resolution with 15 ensembles, spectral T639 with 15 ensembles, and spectral T319 with 51 ensembles. The analysis herein shows that simply increasing either ensemble size from 15 to 51 or atmospheric horizontal resolution from T319 to T639 does not necessarily lead to major improvement in the ENSO prediction skill with current climate models. For deterministic prediction skill metrics, the three sets of predictions do not produce a significant difference in either anomaly correlation or root-mean-square error (RMSE). For probabilistic metrics, the increased atmospheric horizontal resolution generates larger ensemble spread, and thus increases the ratio between the intraensemble spread and RMSE. However, there is little change in the categorical distributions of predicted SST anomalies, and consequently there is little difference among the three sets of hindcasts in terms of probabilistic metrics or prediction reliability.

In paper efficiency of introduction of system of economical production in processes of creation and development of innovative products on “Nestle”- Russia is considered. Features of introduction of system of economical production are defined by features of work of the company in FMCG sphere. Research is focused on identification of the least effective processes of development of innovative products. Research is conducted in two stages: on the first questioning in which more than 200 experts in the field of development and start of innovative products of the companies which working in sector of FMCG and have got to selection took part is carried out: «Нестле Россия», Mars, Danone, Unilever, Ferrero, RB, P&G, Froneri, L’oreal, Colgate, Pepsico, Coca-Cola, Multon. Questioning is carried out among specialists of the above-named companies from all functional divisions which are taking part in development and start of novelties: marketing, finance, planning, purchases of raw materials and materials, applied groups of factories, marketing communications, project managers; at the second stage deep interviews to experts in the field in the “Nestle Russia” company that allowed to understand better than the reason of low efficiency of separate stages of process of development and start of innovations are conducted. As a result of research a number of the factors having the strongest impact on efficiency of processes of development of new products and planning of sales is revealed: absence of standards, incorrect timing, confusion and poor quality of comments after tastings, absence of understanding of target cost of a compounding. On the basis of the conducted research the standard, allowing to systematize earlier unformalized process is offered, to define key development stages of a compounding of new products and their sequence. The practical value of the developed standard consists in: the accounting of classification of projects on three categories depending on type of raw materials, the equipment and investments; to development of timing of the project according to the chosen category taking into account the terms coordinated in the standard and features for each category of projects; introduction of internal tests of consumer preferences at factory for minimization of expenses and decrease in risks of loss in the large-scale consumer tests which are carried out by third-party agencies, a preliminary estimate of cost of a compounding applied group of factory when developing samples.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract We propose a conceptual and theoretical foundation for information-based model benchmarking and process diagnostics that provides diagnostic insight into model performance and model realism. We benchmark against a bounded estimate of the information contained in model inputs to obtain a bounded estimate of information lost due to model error, and we perform process-level diagnostics by taking differences between modeled versus observed transfer entropy networks. We use this methodology to reanalyze the recent Protocol for the Analysis of Land Surface Models (PALS) Land Surface Model Benchmarking Evaluation Project (PLUMBER) land model intercomparison project that includes the following models: CABLE, CH-TESSEL, COLA-SSiB, ISBA-SURFEX, JULES, Mosaic, Noah, and ORCHIDEE. We report that these models (i) use only roughly half of the information available from meteorological inputs about observed surface energy fluxes, (ii) do not use all information from meteorological inputs about long-term Budyko-type water balances, (iii) do not capture spatial heterogeneities in surface processes, and (iv) all suffer from similar patterns of process-level structural error. Because the PLUMBER intercomparison project did not report model parameter values, it is impossible to know whether process-level error patterns are due to model structural error or parameter error, although our proposed information-theoretic methodology could distinguish between these two issues if parameter values were reported. We conclude that there is room for significant improvement to the current generation of land models and their parameters. We also suggest two simple guidelines to make future community-wide model evaluation and intercomparison experiments more informative.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Despite the vast amount of literature that has dealt with the increasing presence of Anglicisms in multiple domains in Spanish, little attention has been paid to the use of Anglicisms by teenagers in internet forums, which have become a popular medium of communication among adolescents. This paper intends to analyze the use of Anglicisms by Spanish-speaking teenagers in this context. After having examined the contributions in www.forojovenes.com for six months (October 2015 to March 2016), the findings reveal that teenagers tend to use pure Anglicisms more frequently than other kinds; despite the existence of equivalents for some of the examined Anglicisms, the English term is chosen; the most prolific subject area to the use of Anglicisms is that of ICT. Sources such as corpus CREA, the project COLA and several well-known dictionaries have allowed to verify these uses. The employment of Anglicisms in this field may be justified in many cases, due to the lack of Spanish equivalent, but in other cases, these borrowings are connected with the prestige and sense of modernity associated with English.

AbstractBackgroundThe reduction of soda intake in the population remains an important goal to improve population health. Concerns exist about how industry-sponsored studies in nutrition tend to favour the interest of the sponsor. We describe the scope of partnerships between Coca-Cola and health organizations in Spain, examining marketing strategies contained in scientific papers funded by Coca-Cola.MethodsFunding for health organizations in Spain during 2010–2016 was retrieved of the Coca-Cola transparency list. We systematically searched research projects and publications (by PubMed) of all the recipient organizations. In addition, we characterize the research agenda and the level of alignment of sponsored authors with marketing strategies used by Coca-Cola.ResultsA total of 74 health organizations received funding from Coca-Cola between 2010 and 2016. Nutritional and cardiology organizations received the highest financial support. A total of 20 articles derived of two research projects were identified. Most publications (14 out of 20) were aligned with marketing strategies used by Coca-Cola (e.g. focusing on physical inactivity as the main cause of obesity). Authors identified did not disclose having previous conflicts of interest.ConclusionIn Spain, numerous health organizations receive financial support from Coca-Cola. We provide evidence that research funded by this beverage company is serving its commercial objectives that, in many cases, are at odds with efforts to improve population health. Problems with transparency among authors and the recipient organizations imply that we are offering very conservative estimates about the impact of this company on public health.

AbstractObjectiveTo identify scientific publications that result from food industry-funded projects on human health and to characterize their research topics to assess the potential for bias in the research agenda.DesignCross-sectional analysis.Setting/SubjectsFood industry-supported projects related to human health were identified from food company websites; publications resulting from the food industry-sponsored projects were identified through a PubMed search.ResultsOf ten companies analysed, only two (Coca-Cola and the Mars Center for Cocoa Health Science) provided a list of research projects with sufficient detail for analysis. Among the 204 publications resulting from thirty-seven disclosed research projects, the most common topic was physical activity (40·7 %), while highly processed foods were analysed in 10·8 % of the publications. Twenty-two publications (10·8 %) focused on research integrity or research methods.ConclusionsPublications resulting from Coca-Cola- and Mars-sponsored research appear to skew the evidence towards solutions that favour industry interests by focusing on food components that can be manipulated and marketed by food companies. These food industry-funded publications can also distract from nutrition as a health issue by diverting public and policy attention to physical activity. Shaping the debate around scientific methods can be another strategy that corporations use for their benefit to raise doubts about the methods used in non-industry sponsored research.

Abstract Seasonal forecast skill of the basinwide and regional tropical cyclone (TC) activity in an experimental coupled prediction system based on the ECMWF System 4 is assessed. As part of a collaboration between the Center for Ocean–Land–Atmosphere Studies (COLA) and the ECMWF called Project Minerva, the system is integrated at the atmospheric horizontal spectral resolutions of T319, T639, and T1279. Seven-month hindcasts starting from 1 May for the years 1980–2011 are produced at all three resolutions with at least 15 ensemble members. The Minerva system demonstrates statistically significant skill for retrospective forecasts of TC frequency and accumulated cyclone energy (ACE) in the North Atlantic (NA), eastern North Pacific (EP), and western North Pacific. While the highest scores overall are achieved in the North Pacific, the skill in the NA appears to be limited by an overly strong influence of the tropical Pacific variability. Higher model resolution improves skill scores for the ACE and, to a lesser extent, the TC frequency, even though the influence of large-scale climate variations on these TC activity measures is largely independent of resolution changes. The biggest gain occurs in transition from T319 to T639. Significant skill in regional TC forecasts is achieved over broad areas of the Northern Hemisphere. The highest-resolution hindcasts exhibit additional locations with skill in the NA and EP, including land-adjacent areas. The feasibility of regional intensity forecasts is assessed. In the presence of the coupled model biases, the benefits of high resolution for seasonal TC forecasting may be underestimated.

Purpose: The objectives of the study were to determine strategy implementation practices at Adrian Company Limited Kenya and to establish challenges of strategy implementation at Adrian Company Limited Kenya. Methodology: The study adopted a cases study research design and an interview guide was used to collect data. The respondents of the study were drawn from the top management team, who were drawn from the various departments comprising of human resource manager, project manager, marketing manager, logistics & procurement manager. Other respondents were drawn from the functional level and operational level departments. Data was analyzed using content analysis.Results: Findings indicated that the strategy implementation practices carried out by Adrian co Ltd consisted of the following critical tasks; the management commitment, team appointment, training for all levels, developing an implementation plan, and establishing an internal auditing system. Findings also indicated that that there existed various challenges to strategy implementation at Adrian Co Ltd. These challenges included inadequate resources and manpower for strategy implementation were inadequate, poor compensation as a challenge to strategy implementation, poor training for the current work force, mismatch between strategy and structure and poor bottom up as well as top bottom communication, organization politics, communication and clarity understanding during strategy implementation.Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: From the discussions and the conclusions, the study recommended that for an efficient and effective strategy implementation process senior management should be involved and committed throughout the process. The management should ensure that the critical strategy implementation tasks were considered during strategy implementation. In addition, the management should address the challenges of strategy implementation. For instance, regular training should be conducted and compensation should be facilitated through cost of living adjustments (COLA).

Full textAbstract:
This article critiques the increasing neo-liberalisation of energy production through a case study of the coal-based Cheyyur ultra mega power project in Tamil Nadu, India. Recent literature has suggested that the state has facilitated megaproject-based neo-liberalism by exempting such projects from both environmental clearance and land acquisition processes. We argue, to the contrary, that in the case of the Cheyyur thermal power project, the poor implementation of environmental regulations and land acquisition has given space to different local and supralocal actors to legally contest and challenge destructive development. In a context where coal-based energy production is becoming uneconomical and renewable energy is being increasingly promoted, this does not bode well for such energy projects.

Full textAbstract:
The scale of waste formation from coal-fired generation is significant and tends to grow steadily in the context of the global use of coal for power production. This paper covers the problems and current opportunities for recycling coal fly ash waste from coal generation from the position of a stakeholder approach, namely, identification of the main participants and determination of the effects for economic agents in coal fly ash recycling projects. Based on the method of economic modeling and the empirical assessment of project efficiency, this paper presents alternative patterns of stakeholder interaction in the process of implementing coal fly ash recycling projects, estimates the effects of using coal fly ash, and identifies conflicting interests between stakeholders. It is shown that the reason behind the low interest of the Russian private sector in the processing of coal fly ash is the lack of stimulating market mechanisms for manufacturers and consumers of ash products, the high risks of implementing recycling projects based on clean coal technologies, and low environmental payments for commercial companies.

Full textAbstract:
Underground Coal Gasification (UCG) is a new emerging clean coal technology. It holds promise for reaching and making use of very deep coal seams that technically could not otherwise have been mined at these depths. UCG technology and knowledge developed significantly during the 20th century. Countries around the world with large coal deposits sustain and promote UCG research and launch projects with the intention to commercially deploy UCG. Alberta currently hosts two UCG projects, and a third project is under consideration. The development of these projects suggested the need for a UCG specific regulatory approval process. In 2011, Alberta enacted specific UCG legislation. This article deals with recent developments in UCG technology and its regulations. The aim of this article is to present Alberta’s current UCG regulatory framework as a model for other jurisdictions.

Full textAbstract:
Australian petroleum production was close to record levels in 2007 with higher oil production and expansion of domestic gas, LNG and coal seam gas production. Growth in coal seam gas production has reached the point where it is not only providing a significant supply source for domestic gas and power station projects, but is proposed as the source of supply to no less than four potential LNG export plants in Queensland. Five new oil and gas developments came on stream during the year. Four final investment decisions were taken on major projects, the largest being the Pluto project in the Carnarvon Basin. The pipeline of committed and potential projects now includes about 25 significant petroleum projects with a combined value of over $100 billion. Together these have the potential to significantly increase Australian production in the next five to ten years, primarily through growing gas production. In the near term significant new oil projects carry the prospect of higher oil production in 2008. Cost estimates for new projects continued to escalate sharply and skills shortages in all parts of the project delivery chain threaten the ability to deliver all of the projects as contemplated.

Full textAbstract:
Australia’s production has been steadily increasing since 2013 with the main contributors being the large liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects. The North Carnarvon Basin accounted for over half of Australian production in 2019, dominated by North West Shelf LNG, Gorgon, Wheatstone and Pluto. Just under a quarter of production was from the Bowen-Surat Basin, with the highest producing project being the Condabri, Talinga and Orana cluster of coal seam assets. The next most prolific basin was the Browse Basin at just over 10%, with Prelude and Ichthys, followed by the Gippsland at 7%. During the year, the Greater Enfield Project, in the North Carnarvon Basin, was brought onstream, which involved a 30-km tie-in of the Laverda and Cimatti fields to the Ngujima-Yin floating production, storage and offloading vessel at the Vincent Field via sub-sea pipelines. Also brought into production during 2019 was the Roma North and Project Atlas, Bowen-Surat Basin, coal bed methane projects.

This case study is an example to demonstrate the application and potential strength of benchmarking and its application on non-industrial projects. The paper provides a review of the benchmarking system, benchmarking process, benefit of benchmarking, benchmarking types and barrier of benchmarking. It also describes the use of benchmarking in different knowledge areas. The research shows example of planned contingency and schedule growth results from oil and gas projects executed in Alberta phases 1 & 2 in CII/COAA database. The CII/COAA benchmarking approach was used to improve performance in projects executed in Alberta. The use of the benchmarking system can contribute to a better project performance on non-industrial projects. It is concluded that this approach can be used to benchmark other kinds of projects on non-industrial projects.

Successful implementation of international projects for the creation of energy complexes with plasma-chemical treatment of coal into synthesis gas and its using as fuel for gas turbine engines requires large capital investments. In this connection, the use of the Monte Carlo method during assessing the investment feasibility and efficiency of implementation of similar projects in conditions of uncertainties and risks presents applied and scientific interest.The Monte Carlo method makes it possible to use a representative sample of scenarios and not to search through all possible variants of the development of events in the future. The merits include the linear dependence of the number of simulations on the number of financial instruments and the ability to take into account both economic and technical indicators. It is determined that the strategic criteria for the success of the project can prevail in relation to economic and functional-technological, especially in the case of the development of a new environmentally friendly plasma-assisted technology. A theoretical model for estimating the economic efficiency of the project for creation of energy complex using inductive (radio frequency) plasma generators has been developed. Parameters characterizing the economic efficiency of proposed power plant with plasma-chemical gasification of coal are analyzed. The project efficiency depends significantly on the parameters characterizing the investment and discounting conditions. The estimation of economic efficiency of the investment project using plasma-chemical technology on a thermal power station with produced electric power of 3.9 MW is carried out. For the considered project conditions, the calculated average value of the profitability index for a power plant with plasma-chemical gasification of coal for 15 years is equaled 1.19 with a probability of 76%. The developed theoretical models can be used to solve problems of enhancement and optimization of management of international projects for the creation of plasma-chemical elements in conditions of uncertainties and risks

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this project is to economically analyze Coal Bed Methane (CBM) development in Nigeria. This will offer an opportunity to use gas from the Nation huge coal reserves for domestic and exportation purposes to boost the economy of Nigeria. CBM can be used to generate power as well as manufacture alternative products. The profitability of coal bed methane (CBM) project depends on factors such as seam thickness, gas content, methane content, coal rank and permeability. Its economics are influenced by other variables, such as fiscal policy, depth of coal seam, volume of water disposal, access to market and price of gas. Potential and existing sites for coal bed methane extraction in Nigeria were identified. Kim’s equation was used to estimate the gas content. The gas-in-place was derived with Volumetric method. Methane quantification was estimated using Eddy curve. It is observed that the ultimate reserves, the capital costs, and the gas price have significant effect on the net present value (NPV) and internal rate of returns (IRR) and thus the economic viability of the project. Economic analysis of LNG and Pipeline projects for gas transmission were comparatively examined. It is observed that the gas price and demand at the market hub depend largely on the mode of transmission.

Full textAbstract:
Australia is transitioning to become an energy superpower—the $43 billion Gorgon LNG project and the other comparably sized projects lining up behind the Gorgon project confirm this. There are predictions that around $80 billion of CAPEX on LNG projects will be approved for expenditure for the 2010 financial year with much more to be invested in the following years. And, we are on the cusp of further coal seam gas developments in Queensland, which could see annual production rise from 130 to more than 3,000 petajoules per annum once the infrastructure is in place. What are the skills needed to realise the true potential of these investments? An appropriate asset management plan is key. Asset management is more than the provision of maintenance services—it is about developing a systematic approach to managing an asset during its life and achieving the outputs required by the owner of the asset. Program and project management of brownfield capital works, maintenance services and infrastructure projects are also essential technical capabilities to help meet the demand of the burgeoning LNG and coal seam gas industries. These skills will determine who can deliver on schedule, or ahead of it. The other key capability will be mobilising, managing and retaining people. There is speculation that the Queensland coal seam gas industry alone will generate approximately 12,000 jobs. The industry needs to be prepared to be innovative in engaging, training and upskilling people. As the only true global resources and industrial provider in Australia, Transfield Services will share its key learnings on effectively managing assets, projects and people from its work with clients including Canada’s largest energy company, Suncor Energy.

Full textAbstract:
Considering the Getica project, and the feasibility study prepared in 2011 in order to capture and storage CO2 from the Turceni Power Plant and in view of the temporary cessation of this project, we propose a study on the storage of CO2 in disused and closed mining areas, from the Jiu Valley, with impact on the environment and on exploitation and monitoring for long-term more than 1000 years and also alignment with similar projects in other countries, Europeans or not. Mainly, the majority of long-term capture and storage projects are carried out in deepwater aquifers, such as aquifers under the North Sea and the Barents Sea, or specially storage projects created in dissolutted salt mines, such as those in the Santos Basin in the Atlantic Ocean in Brazil, as well as others, like the pilot projects in India, with storage in volcanic rocks, etc. Storage projects in large-capacity coal mines such as those in Romania, Serbia or Bulgaria, to discuss common issues with neighboring countries, can create an exchange of knowledge with those countries on long and very long-term storage of CO2 in coal mines, with an obvious gain in greening the atmosphere and in the health of the environment.

Subject area Financial management, corporate finance, strategic management, managerial accounting and project management. Study level/applicability The case is suitable for courses such as MBA, Bachelor level business courses (in finance, business strategy) and training programs for working executives. Case overview The case study deals with financial and strategic appraisal of a unique coal-to-liquid project. India imported about two thirds of its crude oil requirements resulting in huge outflow of precious foreign exchange. As a result, it became necessary for the country to look for alternative sources of energy. The coal-to-liquid (CTL) technology of coal gasification offers a credible alternative source of fuels as proved by Sasol of South Africa. The Government of India short-listed Global Synfuels Company (name changed) as one of the selected few companies to build a CTL project. While the project is strategically important to the company and highly desirable for the country, there are serious doubts about the commercial viability of the project because of which the company is in dilemma whether to go ahead with the project. The case study presents this decision dilemma in a very interesting way and will be useful for teaching courses in corporate finance and strategic management. Expected learning outcomes The case can be used to engage participants to make a SWOT analysis for a new business opportunity, discuss environmental and financial issues facing a company, use DCF techniques to evaluate the project viability, carry out scenario analysis of the project to the changes in variables as well as challenge the participants to generate strategies for the success of a new project. Participants would also develop a better understanding of: environmental issues involved in CTL projects and new technologies to deal with such issues; and the employment impact of large projects such as the CTL.

AbstractDynamic simulations are powerful tools, but only if they are developed using the correct methodology, and with information that has been verified. Mining houses rely on simulation to confirm that complex, integrated systems can achieve design capacity before investment decisions are made. Work conducted in the realm of validation can make an invaluable contribution to the success of future projects undertaken around the world. Coal mine a life of mine extension project was approved for implementation when export coal prices were on the low end of the price cycle. The dynamic simulation of the full materials handling value chain conducted during the project feasibility study in 2016 was of utmost importance and provided assurance to the project review team that annual production targets can be achieved. The simulation development methodology was based on a unique approach that reduced time spent on the simulation. Upon completion of project construction and commissioning in 2018, it was essential to validate the simulation, which could lead to the adoption of this approach on future projects. This paper explains the steps taken to validate the dynamic simulation. This case study confirmed that dynamic simulation can add value and predict mining system performance, such that informed decisions can be made.

This article examines the drivers of American support for environmental projects in the multilateral development banks (MDBs). We first describe how U.S. Executive Directors are guided by Congressional directives regarding environmental aspects of MDB projects. The article then turns to statistical analysis of the strategic and normative drivers of U.S. positions on MDB projects. Our analysis finds mixed support for environmental factors driving U.S. votes. The United States is more inclined to vote against “dirty” projects (i.e., mining, coal, and oil) rather than specifically support “green” projects (i.e., projects related toward climate change or biodiversity). The overall environmental performance of a country had a minor influence on whether the United States would support proposals from that country, but the United States was much more likely to disapprove of a project if a project failed to undergo an environmental analysis or failed the analysis in anyway.

These raw materials were combined with a composition 60%:40% weight (bottom ash: biomass) to be briquette form by adding amylum as a binder. This study used the benefit-cost analysis approach to assess economic feasibility. Tree indicators used in this study were net benefit-cost ratio, payback period, and return on investment. These indicators provided the company policy to continue or stop this project. The finding study showed that the company got a payback period and the net benefit from the ninth year. The company also achieved a net B/C ratio was more than one, and ROI was 1.09 times in the ninth year. The other beneficiaries acquired by the company was included external costs, such as risks from commitment failure by third parties in coal waste management, costs rising risk of purchasing coal, and given a positive value for providing employment.

Full textAbstract:
A decade on from the submission of project initial advice statements to Queensland Government agencies in 2008, this paper provides a retrospective on the development journey of three integrated coal seam gas (CSG) to liquefied natural gas (LNG) mega-projects currently delivering domestic and international markets. The process from development concept to operating asset is considered from several perspectives including: project rationale, description and delivery, as well as regulatory approvals. Project delivery is further considered in terms of the upstream, midstream and downstream components. The delivery of world first CSG to LNG is discussed in the context of project execution during significant volatility in the global oil, gas and LNG markets. All three projects have successfully completed commissioning and start-up. Although all six trains have been performance tested at name-plate production capacity, current LNG production is below this level. This paper examines their evolution from the initial concepts through to delivery, including current gas reserves and those required to sustain gas supply over expected project life. The paper also considers how these projects and any future expansion of the Queensland LNG industry will be impacted upon by an evolving global LNG market.

Full textAbstract:
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy has sponsored research in the area of coal-fueled diesel engines since the late 1970s. The program began as an exploratory effort and has grown into a proof-of-concept program that includes several major medium-speed diesel engine manufacturers. Those manufacturers have identified the utility, industrial cogeneration, and transportation markets as areas in which expensive clean distillate fuel may be displaced by low-cost, domestically abundant coal. The development of a coal-fueled diesel engine system will require the parallel development of coal fuels, engine components, wear and emission control system, and a support infrastructure. Because of notable success in earlier projects of the coal-fueled diesel program, the DOE’s Morgantown Energy Technology Center (METC) recently expanded the program with the award of contracts for two 5-year, proof-of-concept project. These major projects will build on the results of past work to complete development of technology for the commercialization of coal-fueled diesel engines. This paper summarizes progress in the DOE program and planned research to overcome technical and economic barriers to that commercialization.

Australian hydrocarbon production reached record levels in 2009 due to strong growth in production of LNG from the North West Shelf Venture. Domestic gas production also reached record levels. Coal seam gas production continued to grow, with the continuing development of existing fields and the development of the Kenya and Talinga projects in Queensland. Two new conventional gas projects also came into production: Blacktip in the Timor Sea and Longtom in the Gippsland Basin. However oil production was below that in the previous year, reflecting natural field decline and the absence of large scale projects reaching production. The project sanction highlight of the year was the final investment decision on the $43 billion Gorgon LNG project. This project will comprise three LNG trains with total capacity of 15 million tonnes per annum plus a domestic gas plant. The first gas from this project is planned for 2014. Eight other potential LNG projects are in various stages of front end engineering and design, most targeting final investment decisions in 2010 or 2011. The pipeline of committed and potential LNG projects has a combined value estimated to be well over $100 billion. These projects have the potential to significantly increase Australian LNG production over the next five to ten years. In the near term the start-up of the Van Gogh, Pyrenees and Turrum oil projects are expected to provide some respite from the decline in Australian oil production. Cost estimates for new projects are again escalating and skills shortages in all parts of the project delivery chain threaten the ability to deliver all of the projects under consideration.

Coal resource utilization system, based on circular economy, is an opening, complex and time-varying system. It composes of subsystems such as industry, population, economy and environment etc. Taking the industry subsystem as prime object, this paper builds its system dynamics model adopting the system dynamics method based on full life cycle. The adjustment parameters such as utilization rate of by-product of mining, the proportion of coal use in each industry and waste recycling rate etc. were confirmed. As a case of coal utilization system being designed, thirteen development projects belong to two types of scenarios were run on the model. The efficacy coefficient method was applied to analyze the simulation results and determine the comparatively best project of coal resource utilization system for the first time. The results indicate that the C4 among them are the best project comparatively, its waste emission is the least, and the benefits of economy, environment and society are the maximum. Research shows that extending industrial chain, increasing production proportion of high added-value product and raising waste recycling rate are beneficial to decrease coal-mining quantity for unit output value, protect coal resource and achieve sustainable development, namely that adopting circular economy development pattern is undoubtedly worthy of advocating for sustainable development of economy, environment and society.

Projected global sales for carbonated soft beverages are expected to reach $195 billion by 2014. Carbonated drinks are differentiated from other drinks by their “fizziness” (that comes from the dissolved carbon dioxide), which creates a “tingling” sensation in the mouth, and provides a unique taste sensation. They can be divided in non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages. The non-alcoholic drinks are known as soft drinks and can be fruit based (orange, lemon and lime), cola type drinks (Pepsi, Coca cola), or others such as new energy drinks (like Red Bull), while alcoholic carbonated drinks include beer, cider, sparkling wines, etc. In order to maintain the flavour and the other quality attributes at the appropriate consumer level of appreciation, it is necessary to perform several quality control (QC) analyses.

Full textAbstract:
The cost-benefit efficiency of projects is often wrongly evaluated due to the neglect of projects’ impact on the environment. In this paper, we aim to establish a model to measure such an impact and hence propose a more reasonable approach to evaluating cost-benefit efficiency of projects. We divide the total cost of a certain project into two parts: Business Cost (BC) and Environmental Cost (EC). BC is the explicit cost that can be approached from financial statements, while EC is the implicit cost which we try to quantify. EC is composed of three parts: (1) the Ecosystem Service Value (ESV), (2) the Restoration Cost (RC) to treat the pollution caused by the projects, and (3) the Disaster Cost (DC), potential losses caused by disasters due to launch of new projects. In order to make a cost-benefit efficiency analysis, we introduce profitability index, which is further developed into an adjusted profitability index by taking time value into consideration. Two case studies are conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the model. A regional case of a coal-mining project proves that RC and DC play a significant role in cost-benefit efficiency analysis, while a nationwide case of high-speed rail shows that project scale matters. Additionally, we put our attention on the intensity of the project, which is a created measurement to characterize the project. Based on the study of intensity, the mechanism of cost-benefit break-even is further explained and some suggestions are proposed to policy makers.

We describe two interdisciplinary projects in which natural scientists and engineers, as well as psychologists and other behavioral scientists, worked together to better communicate about climate change, including mitigation and impacts. One project focused on understanding and informing public perceptions of an emerging technology to capture and sequester carbon dioxide from coal-fired power plants, as well as other low-carbon electricity-generation technologies. A second project focused on public understanding about carbon dioxide’s residence time in the atmosphere. In both projects, we applied the mental-models approach, which aims to design effective communications by using insights from interdisciplinary teams of experts and mental models elicited from intended audience members. In addition to summarizing our findings, we discuss the process of interdisciplinary collaboration that we pursued in framing and completing both projects. We conclude by describing what we think we have learned about the conditions that supported our ongoing interdisciplinary collaborations.

Full textAbstract:
Onshore gas development projects are often referred for assessment under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act), administered by the Commonwealth Department of the Environment and Energy (DOEE), and coal seam gas projects may require additional assessment under the ‘water trigger’ legislation. Queensland Government approval is also required and both governments’ approval processes can intersect. The two processes may have different scope and timeframes, and these are important considerations for proponents bringing forward new gas supply and project expansions. As co-regulators, the Queensland Government and DOEE routinely look for opportunities to better align regulatory practices and ensure they remain contemporary and fit for purpose. In this context, they are exploring opportunities to improve the administration of requirements for Queensland gas projects to enhance the ability of regulators to assess project approvals, ensure compliance, improve process efficiency, and maintain high environmental standards.
