Abstract:
Few studies have investigated how television news is represented through data journalism. To fill this gap, this study compared data news content from South Korean and that from US television networks using the grounded theory method. The following differences were found: South Korean television networks ( KBS, SBS, MBC, and JTBC) highlight social issues, politics, and lifestyle; while American television networks ( ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN) cover the economy, social issues, and politics. Both television networks rely on government sources and seldom provide raw data. The South Korean networks use a static graph and an infographic most frequently, while the US networks favor a number pull quote and a static graphic. The South Korean networks prefer complex, visually appealing elements (e.g., an infographic), while the American networks prefer less complex and less visually appealing elements (e.g., a number pull quote). The South Korean networks prefer the news forms of ‘visualization,’ ‘condensity,’ and ‘typification,’ and the US networks prefer ‘visualization,’ ‘typification,’ ‘condensity,’ and ‘completeness.’ The degree of user participation is extremely low in both countries’ networks.

Abstract:
Since the early 1980s, the eighteenth-century beginnings of German mass migration to North America have been the subject of intense research and writing. In spite of the multifaceted results of this research on both sides of the ocean, the textbook explanation of early German Atlantic migration has demonstrated a striking persistence. To quote from one of the best English-language textbooks on German social history, ‘from about 1750 on, over-population fuelled…the beginnings of the exodus to North America’. This interpretation is exactly where scholars such as Wolfgang von Hippel stood more than a decade ago, and it dovetails with the migration theories of German population sociology of the 1970s. But is it right? And what alternative explanations are available? The most important alternative to the received approach is offered by the concept of networks. As Charles Tilly put it, ‘categories stay put, networks move’. If emigrants moved along lines of contacts and information, we do not need to refer to strong push or pull factors in order to explain why they were ‘uprooted’ from the territorial categories to which they belonged. Chain migration can be interpreted as a self-generating and self-sustaining process, a system in itself. In this perspective, migration becomes more and more likely because of flows of information, credit or capital between the areas involved in migration – contacts created by migration cause additional migration.

Abstract:
Abstract The response of an ocean bottom seismometer (OBS) to a transient pull that excites the natural OBS-sediment coupling resonance can be modeled as a mass-spring-dashpot system in which the resonant frequency and damping are functions of instrument mass and bearing radius and of the physical properties of the sediment (primarily the shear modulus). For the very soft sediments sometimes found on the sea floor, this resonance may be within the main frequency band of interest (2 to 15 Hz) for many common instrument configurations. To test the model and to find an anchor that would shift the coupling resonance to a higher frequency and decrease its amplitude, we conducted a series of tests which measured the response of the vertical and horizontal components of the U.S. Geological Survey OBS to transient pulls as a function of anchor configuration and sediment properties. The tested anchors included a concrete “flowerpot,” a tripod, a plate, and a perforated plate. Sites were on soft, organic-rich ooze and on firm sand. Several small shots were also fired at the ooze site in order to compare the response of the plate and “flowerpot” anchors to seismic signals. For a given anchor at a given site, the observed response was very repeatable. We found that the model predicts the vertical coupling response quite well and that good vertical coupling can be achieved with the plate or perforated-plate anchors. The response to the horizontal pulls, however, was similar and resonant for all anchors.

Abstract:
This study assessed the willingness of French youth to go and study or work for some time in another EU country. We examined three types of questions: (a) What is the overall level of willingness to go in another EU country? Does age, gender or socioeconomic status (SES) of the family influence this overall level? Which country do French youth prefer to go to? (b) Is a four-factor Push-Anti-Push-Pull-Anti-Pull model able to account for data regarding attitudes toward other countries and attitudes toward France? (c) Is this model able to predict willingness to go and study or work in another EU country, both generally and for individual countries? The overall level of willingness to go to other EU countries was not very high. Except for the United Kingdom the mean response was always located closer to the “No” pole than to the “Quite possible” pole. Gender, age, and educational level of the father did not play a role. Participants clearly preferred the United Kingdom and Spain to Germany or The Netherlands. Exploratory factor analysis showed a clearly interpretable Push-Anti-Push-Pull-Anti-Pull solution, and confirmatory factor analysis showed that this structure fits the attitudes data very well according to the usual indices. This general model, however, did not explain much of the “intent-to-go” variance. In addition, specific Pull attractiveness considerations (liking and knowing the country) played, beyond the general Push-Pull model, a notable role in the determination of willingness to go and study or work in each of the 14 EU countries.

Abstract:
This research aimed to identify the push and pull factors of the motivation of senior tourists from Asia and non-Asia in choosing Bali as their destination, as well as examining any differences in the push and pull factors of both groups of nationality. Exploratory factor analysis that was continued with differences analysis were completed to analyse the data. Results revealed six factors that pushed seniors to travel to Bali: 1) exploring and increasing knowledge about the local culture, 2) quality time and visiting nostalgic places with close accompanies, 3) relaxation and having fun, 4) spending time with family members, 5) rejuvenation and health, 6) sharing about destination experience. In addition, there were four pull factors namely: 1) hospitality services and tourist attractions, 2) local culture, 3) natural scenery and climate, 4) quite rest area. While significant differences shown between Asian and non-Asian in factors that intrinsically pushed them totravel to Bali, no significant differences appeared between senior tourists from two groups of nationaliy in considering Bali’s destination attributes that pulled them to visit the island.

Abstract:
Adhesion in this system is one of the most important factors that affect the reliability and durability of repair. According to the many standards and guidelines, e.g. new European Standard EN 1504-10 and ACI Concrete Repair Manual, a pull-off test is recommended for assessment of a bond quality in repair systems. The use of pull-off test, due to its semi-destructive character, is restricted by owners and managers. Therefore, the elaboration of reliable nondestructive method for an adhesion mapping could provide a quite advantageous alternative. Repair system is difficult to test with NDT methods, because of the many factors influencing the stress wave propagation. In this paper the possibility of application of various NDT methods for quality control of repair efficiency, including estimation of the bond strength, is discussed.

An improved DMT adhesion model in conjunction with an elastic-plastic contact model is used to study adhesion of contacting metallic rough surfaces. The effects of surface roughness and surface energy of adhesion on the pull-off force and on the significance of the adhesion force are investigated. It is shown that for clean surfaces the adhesion is quite large even for relatively rough surfaces. Adhesion is negligible only for contaminated rough surfaces or at very high external loading.

Abstract:
Abstract Background Despite serious health risks having been described, traditional enemas are still often used in African traditional medicine. We aim to report two cases of complications secondary to traditional enemas, to illustrate how severe the injuries can be, and to describe the use of a Swenson type endoanal pull-through and a posterior sagittal anorectoplasty (PSARP) as surgical options. Case Description A 2-year-old girl presented with a necrotic rectum after a traditional enema administration. At admission, she required a laparotomy, colostomy fashioning, and extensive debridement of her rectum and perineum. She subsequently had a pull-through of the descending colon using a PSARP approach, a covering loop ileostomy, and a Malone Antegrade Continence Enema. The ileostomy was reversed at the age of 3 years of age and she is now clean with rectal washouts.The second case was a one- and a half-year-old boy with full-thickness burns to the perineum and rectum secondary to a hot-water enema. A colostomy was initially brought out and pulled through 7 months post the initial surgery. He is now growing well and is fully continent to stools. Conclusions The potential complications associated with the practice of administering at-home enemas can be quite devastating. A transanal pull-through and a PSARP have been proven to be successful techniques in patients who have suffered rectal burns due to traditional enemas.

Abstract:
This study applied dual processing theory, the theory of working memory, and the theory of cue summation to examine how the video and audio in a television news story interact with or against each other when the story uses pull quote graphics to convey key information to viewers. Using eye-tracking, the study produced visual depictions of exactly what viewers look at on the screen when the words in the reporter's voice track match the text in the pull quote graphic verbatim, when the reporter summarizes the text in the graphic, and when the reporter's voice track ignores the text in the pull quote. The study tested the effect on recall when viewers were presented with these three story conditions—high redundancy, medium redundancy, and low redundancy, respectively. Key findings included the following: first, that stories with low redundancy resulted in lower recall and memory sensitivity scores (a measure of memory strength) than pull quotes that the reporter either summarized or read verbatim on the air. Second, it was found that neither high-redundancy nor medium-redundancy stories were superior or inferior to the other when looking at the effect on recall and memory sensitivity. And finally, in high-, medium-, and low-redundancy conditions, subjects stated that they relied more on the reporter's narration than the pull quote to get information. The study states possible implications for news producers and reporters and suggests future research in the broadcast television news industry.

Abstract:
With podcasts being a fast growing audio-only form of media, an effective way of promoting different podcast shows becomes more and more vital to all the stakeholders concerned, including the podcast creators, the podcast streaming platforms, and the podcast listeners. This thesis investigates the relatively little studied topic of automatic podcast trailer generation, with the purpose of en- hancing the overall visibility and publicity of different podcast contents and gen- erating more user engagement in podcast listening. This thesis takes a hotspot- based approach, by specifically defining the vague concept of “hotspot” and designing different appropriate methods for hotspot detection. Different meth- ods are analyzed and compared, and the best methods are selected. The selected methods are then used to construct an automatic podcast trailer generation sys- tem, which consists of four major components and one schema to coordinate the components. The system can take a random podcast episode audio as input and generate an around 1 minute long trailer for it. This thesis also proposes two human-based podcast trailer evaluation approaches, and the evaluation results show that the proposed system outperforms the baseline with a large margin and achieves promising results in terms of both aesthetics and functionality.

Abstract:
In the United States, the welfare state has long been a source of political and academic debate, and this volume pulls together much of our current knowledge about its origins, development, functions, and challenges. This introductory chapter provides an overview of the volume’s main themes and sections. For example, many of the following chapters emphasize the public-private mix in social policy, in which the government helps certain groups of citizens directly (e.g., through social insurance) or indirectly (e.g., through tax expenditures and regulations). Many chapters stress disjointed patterns of policy-making, which can lead simultaneously to problems of high cost and low impact on poverty and inequality. Even under a variety of stresses, however, much of the American welfare state remains quite resilient. The contributing authors are experts from political science, sociology, history, economics, and other social sciences.

Abstract:
This chapter examines Ray Bradbury's determined stance to go his own way and write stories to please himself despite the reluctance of slick magazines to publish them. Bradbury's early postwar success in the slicks came with short stories that were basically or with a few dark fantasies that the slicks were willing—very occasionally—to take a chance on. For example, Rita Smith at Mademoiselle had taken three Bradbury stories, but began to draw the line at stories about Mars. Throughout the late 1940s Bradbury's science fiction and dark fantasies were rejected by major market editors, deeming them “wrong” or “not quite right” for their readers. This chapter considers Bradbury's insistence on writing his own kind of story instead of slanting for the slicks and how his change in creative focus enabled him to sell many of his Martian stories, along with many of the other darker science fiction tales, to pulp magazines with little or no need for revision. It also discusses the impasse Bradbury had reached with his attempts at long fiction.

Abstract:
In 2017, Maureen Pytlik graduated from Ottawa’s Carleton University with degrees major in both clarinet performance and mathematics. Her curriculum also included advanced music theory studies and West African drumming and dance. She describes her West African dance experiences as transformative. “I was quite happy to open up and be awkwardly uncoordinated,” she relates, “because it was something that created a lot of group bonding in a way. Feeling part of the group was very important to me because having Asperger’s means it’s not something that I experience easily.” African dance, and drumming too, helped Maureen to navigate a dichotomy which has been difficult for her to manage in her life, and one that she identifies closely with having Asperger’s: the conflicting pulls of competing desires for control and freedom. “I am pulled in these two different directions,” she acknowledges. “My modes of being can fluctuate between the two styles of having control and experiencing freedom, but I have a hard time (as with any polar opposites) hovering in the middle between them without gravitating toward one extreme or the other at any given time.” Music and dance, especially of the West African variety, have enabled her to move closer to achieving that elusive balance.

Abstract:
Better known for her literary representations of Georgian London, Fanny Burney’s final, post-revolutionary novel, The Wanderer (1814), extends a more complex and radical geography than her earlier works. Opening on a rough sea off the coast of France, the mysterious protagonist, Ellis/Juliet, feels the gravitational pull of Brighthelmstone (Brighton), the celebrated Regency seaside town that provides the setting for most of the novel. This chapter examines the representation of Brighton in The Wanderer, a novel in which the inhabitants of Brighthelmstone quite literally turn their back on the ocean, alongside Burney’s descriptions of the town in her private writings over a number of decades. What emerges from these different genres is a double vision of Brighton that counters contemporary and popular depictions of the town in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.

Choosing precisely the right word will improve your writing, but also seek out the most vivid, compelling word. Structure sentences to communicate an idea clearly: keep the average sentence short to improve comprehension and give ideas punch, write longer sentences for more complex ideas, and place the concept at the beginning or end. Use the active voice to strengthen your explanations and engage the reader. Proofread exhaustively, performing each of the three levels of proofreading separately. Composing readable prose also means writing for the “reading eye,” taking into account the perceptual process of reading by creating layouts that offer visual landmarks such as paragraph indents, white space, drop caps, and pull quotes.

Abstract:
Systematic surveys in the Tula region in southern Hidalgo has revealed a long and diverse history of settlement that included at least three different episodes of migration. Each was quite different in terms of scale and mode of execution, including what appears to have been 1) well-orchestrated mass migrations or colonization of the region by Teotihuacan, 2) small scale migrations involving the appearance of a foreign enclave of possibly mixed Teotihuacan/Zapotec whose members comprised an entire settlement, and 3) uncoordinated multiple migrations of Coyotlatelco traditional peoples, each probably involving small groups from varying areas of origin within a larger region of the same general destination. All three appear to have involved relatively short-distance migration, which we believe was a common practice in Mesoamerica, where knowledge of the destination was a likely "pull" factor that facilitated both multiple and return migration events.

Abstract:
This chapter addresses complicity liability. Complicity doctrine is notoriously difficult, both doctrinally and conceptually, in part because its underlying principles are themselves in tension. The pull of judgements about culpability must be reconciled with the demands of criminalization, and with the need protect the public. Frequently, the approach of the courts has been to focus on the defendant’s culpability. The better approach, it is argued, is to distinguish matters of culpability from those of ascriptive responsibility, and to focus also on the latter. Once this is done, it becomes easier to see the centrality of mens rea in ascribing responsibility for another’s acts. Quite apart from helping to show culpability, mens rea requirements can also mediate the constraints of criminalization, helping to balance the ex ante liberties of the accessory against the rights and interests of others; and ensuring those who do otherwise innocent actions have sufficient notice that their conduct is potentially criminal. The chapter closes by distinguishing between two major categories of participation: aiding and abetting, and joint criminal enterprise.

This introduction provides an overview of some common questions and misconceptions about DNA, while discussing its physical structure, how it works, and its impact on daily life. Also covered are chromosomes, genes, genomics, and what makes DNA so unique. DNA has generated quite a bit of interest due to major news stories of the last few decades. DNA is nature’s rock star. And, like many human celebrities, DNA can be mysterious, charming, enigmatic, complex, powerful, skilled, and at times unpredictable, but always awesome. This book pulls back the curtain to expose the machinery operating the molecule of life, showing that DNA, far from being ethereal and mystical, is actually logical, rational, usually parsimonious, and occasionally unpredictable. But still marvelously awesome!

Abstract:
This chapter presents description and analysis of the metacarpals and manual phalanges from Sterkfontein. Although the morphology is generally similar across the sample where there are duplicates of the same element, there are differences in size that are quite remarkable within the context of all South African hominins. Some very large specimens suggest the presence of individuals at Sterkfontein with much larger hands, and presumably larger body size, at Sterkfontein than those of A. sediba MH2, H. naledi and the Swartkrans hominins. Australopithecus africanus had human-like proportions, but this may be plesiomorphic within the hominoid clade. The potentially less mobile trapezium-Mc1 joint, absence of a fully developed palmar pulp on the distal thumb, more limited pronation of the index finger, and potentially more wedge-shaped trapezoid inferred from the preserved external morphology, is consistent with lower manipulative loading of the thumb than is typical of later Homo. As for other forelimb elements, moderately curved manual phalanges suggests a greater reliance on forelimb-dominated locomotor behaviors and perhaps selection for more frequent use of an arboreal environment in A. africanus than is found in A. afarensis. Thus, within this broader context, the Sterkfontein fossil hominin remains are not unusual. The Sterkfontein hand fossils suggest an overall manipulative and locomotor loading regime that was more similar to that of other South African australopiths and distinct from that of later Homo, but more refined functional interpretations require additional fossil evidence, particularly from associated hand skeletons

"(the other survivor on that day was another Australian soap, Home and Away). Before treating the institutonal and textual factors which contributed to Neighbours’s success in the UK specifically, I propose ten textual reasons for its success in a range of territories. Several of these factors are noted in British press commentary, which accounted retrospectively for the massive success of Neighbours. Neighbours persisted in its success, similarly to Crocodile Dundee in 1986 in the USA, where it obliged two major film critics, Vincent Canby and Andrew Sarris, to reconsider it after they had farmed out reviews to second stringers on the film’s first appearance (Crofts 1992: 223). 1 The everyday The programme urges identification with profoundly everyday experiences: personal problems, desires, worries, fears, minor misunderstandings, romance, low-key domestic arguments. In negative accounts, the “everyday” becomes “trivial” and “banal” “dog-attackscat” stories, or, in the words of one French journal, “these clumsily intrusive neighbours whose greatest existential anguish consists in having to choose between two colours of wallpaper” (Brugière 1989: 51). Neighbours’s ordinariness and predictability largely shun the melodramatic, the concatenation of incidents, the excessive. In the words of producer, Mark Callan: We try to keep everything as simple as possible and direct it at the ordinary things that occur in every household and within every neighbourhood. We are often tempted to use a sensational story, but we pull back and say: “That’s not likely to happen.” We do best when we portray the mundane in an entertaining way. (quoted by Galvin 1988) Testimony to the success of this strategy is found in the observations of Lucy Janes, a 15-year-old Scot whose age is typical of the program’s principal demographic target. She talks about the plot – predictable, filled with clichés and relatively simple (particularly compared to Dynasty and Dallas where each character has been married to each of the others at least twice). You can play an amusing little game because of the predictability. Try to guess what he/she is going to say next. It’s easier than you think and gives the viewer a feeling of participation and achievement. (Janes 1988) Identification is encouraged by the everyday tempo and rhythm, the invariable use of eye-level camera and a thoroughly utilitarian visual style which draws no attention to itself (even Home and Away appears a little mannered in comparison). (As at July 1992, when research for this section of the chapter was completed, there were signs of Neighbours’s adopting a flashier and more sexually explicit style.)." In To Be Continued..., 109.

Abstract:
Elbow pipes are commonly used in the piping systems of power plants and chemical plants. The stress states at the elbow part are complex and quite different from those of the straight pipes. It is well known that the fatigue lives of metals under simple push-pull conditions can be successfully predicted by Manson’s universal slope method. However, the low-cycle fatigue lives of elbow pipes under combined cyclic bending and inner pressure cannot be predicted by this method, though the reasons for this have not been clarified. In this work, the low-cycle fatigue tests and finite element analysis of elbows under cyclic bending and inner pressures were carried out. The results showed that the multi-axial stress factor, which is a ratio of hoop stress and axial stress, at elbows is quite high. Considering the multi-axial stress factor, a revised Manson’s universal slope method is proposed in this paper. Using the proposed method, we were able to predict conservatively the low-cycle fatigue lives of elbows under combined cyclic bending and inner pressure.

Abstract:
This paper describes a novel concept for measuring pipe wall stress. Southwest Research Institute® (SwRI®) pioneered the use of the Barkhausen effect for stress measurement in the 1960s, and the method is still in use today. University researchers in Canada are using the technique for determining stress magnitude and direction by making measurements at quite high resolution. Their technique, which follows from the early SwRI work, requires an alternating magnetic excitation field and an inductive sensor that responds to the Barkhausen magnetic transitions. In contrast, the Continuous Barkhausen concept does not require an alternating excitation field, relying instead on the field transition already present as a magnetic flux leakage (MFL) pig moves through a pipeline. All MFL pigs in use today create Barkhausen noise as they move through the pipeline. The only requirement for using those signals to reveal information about the pipe is to provide suitable sensors and amplifiers to develop a data interpretation procedure. This paper reports on work sponsored by the U.S. Department of Transportation in which SwRI and their commercializing partner, H. ROSEN Engineering, performed laboratory and pull-test experiments to validate the technique using MFL pig hardware in a test line having artificially induced stress anomalies. Details of the technique, laboratory experimental results, and pull-test results are presented, along with recommendations for the application of the method to operating pipelines.

Abstract:
In this paper, a novel surface and bulk hybrid micromachining process for fabricating a 16×16 electrostatically-actuated MEMS-based optical switch is introduced. The fabrication enhances the capabilities of rotation type of micromirrors by enlarging their rotation angle to 90 degrees, which will provide a wide variety of possible mechanical designs for many optical applications such as scanners and filters, especially those requiring large angular adjustment. Furthermore, monolithic integration of fiber grooves and micromirrors are achieved by utilizing accurate photolithography and etching techniques. The fabricated 2-μm-thick polysilicon mirrors are able to rotate inward by 90 degrees to a vertical position when the applied voltage reaches the pull-in value of 208 V. Under the shortest optical path in the 16×16 switch array, the average and worst-case measurement values of fiber-mirror-fiber insertion loss are 2.27 dB and 2.48 dB, respectively. A fatigue test turns out to show that the micromirrors and torsion beams are quite durable to endure more than 1.368×102 billion cycle-tilting movement.

Abstract:
This paper deals with the optimized load case selection and the design developments for constructability and fatigue criteria of the Riser I-tube support structural design in an FPSO. Many risers including umbilical lines are arranged longitudinally in the outside of FPSO. Also Riser Pull-in System (RPS) is disposed for covering all risers. All risers have different loads in several environmental conditions and need different I-tube diameters. Accordingly their support structures have also different geometrical shape. In fact, it is quite a challenging task to consider all loads and load combination, i.e. Riser loads, environmental loads, the reaction load from RPS, internal tank load, etc. In this paper, the optimized load cases including its back-up descriptions are represented. During the structural design many options and alternative design approaches were explored in order to consider several problems, i.e. the structural arrangement, appropriate connections, constructability issues, the fatigue life, etc. Among these, the constructability and fatigue critically influenced the Riser I-tube support design. So together with the optimized load cases, the design developments on account of them also are represented in this paper.

Abstract:
The products from paper are widely used materials with several benefits. The corrugated paper keeps items protected through long-distance logistic processes and constant shipping and handling. The corrugated boxboards are ideal options for any industry’s shipping, packaging and storage needs. Papers and cardboards are quite low cost and also provide environmental-friendly solutions, using recyclable materials such as used corrugated cartons and old newspapers. Recycling offers a reduction in environmental impact in densely populated regions and a large production of paper and board products. Generally, the use of recycled fiber produces paper with poorer mechanical properties due to the decrease in the interfiber bonding. The recycled pulp must be treated to restore its bonding strength, for which there are six methods possible: mechanical treatment, chemical additives, chemical treatment, fractionation, papermaking process modification and blending with virgin fiber. Although some mills produce 100% recycled paper, the majority augment their used pulp with some virgin fiber. Paper properties can be tailored within some ranges by modifying the properties of fibers, but the influence of fine quality on structure, strength and optical properties of paper can be even greater. The properties of papers are essentially determined by their raw materials. Most of these raw materials are made from 100% recycled fiber, but as the quality of the waste fiber varies, different chemicals must be used to provide the desired or expected properties. From an environmental and economic point of view, the use of primary fibers can be an alternative.

Abstract:
Black liquor, a residual of the chemical pulp industry, is a biofuel with great potential for increasing power generation. This may be accomplished by replacing the conventional recovery process using a Tomlinson recovery boiler with black liquor gasification. In addition, there are other considerable advantages. The gasification of black liquor gives new degrees of freedom since the combustible gas may be used in a multitude of ways. For a full scale plant, a combined cycle may be an efficient way to produce process heat and power. Comparison is made with conventional CHP using a Tomlinson boiler and a steam cycle. It is shown that the generated power could be up to twice that of the conventional plant with an electrical efficiency of 30% and a total efficiency of 77% (HHV). However, the characteristics of a combined cycle in this kind of process integrated application will be quite different than those of a stand-alone powerplant. This is clearly shown when competed with conventional natural gas fired combined cycles. This paper includes thorough analysis of some of the most important parameters of the combined cycle. It is shown that the gas turbine characteristics are the critical factors for providing a high electric efficiency. The effects of supplementary firing we also investigated. Hereby, an optimum for the steam cycle data is established.

Abstract:
Oy Alholmens Kraft Ab, with its unique combination of owners, was founded for the purpose of building a power station at Pietarsaari on the west coast of Finland. The power utility companies initiated the co-operation with the saw-, pulp and paper mill owners with the goal of finding a solution which maximized biomass utilization through co-firing with other fuels, to produce steam and heat in a utility sized power plant. Concept development resulted in a 240 MWe circulating fluidized bed unit with a flexible and demanding combination of fuels. The Alholmens Kraft power plant supplies process steam to the nearby UPM-Kymmene paper mill, and for district heating in Pietarsaari. The plant produces electricity for the power company owners in Finland and in Sweden. The CFB boiler steam capacity is 550 MWth (1875 MMBtu/hr), giving a maximum electric power of 240 MWe. When commissioned in autumn 2001 the boiler was one of the largest CFB boilers in the world, and the largest biofuel-burning CFB. The Alholmens Kraft CFB boiler is a multi-fuel boiler, whose main fuels are bark, wood residue and peat, with coal as a back-up fuel. Due to its location at the pulp and paper mill, high reliability and low emissions were the most important design criteria for the boiler. Steam production for the mill must be ensured all year-round, apart from during the mill’s short annual service shutdowns. Another important design consideration was the controllability of the boiler due to Nord Pool electricity production requirements. Typical regular load variation is between day and night but sometimes the load change speed requirement is quite high. This paper presents the Alholmens Kraft power plant application, and its very smooth start-up and operational experience during the first year with different fuels and fuel combinations at various load levels. The paper also describes how well the large boiler has performed with regard to the strict emission limits. The selection of design fuel contributes well towards the target for net CO2 reduction, but it also places huge requirements in terms of fuel purchasing and logistics. The volumetric fuel consumption by the boiler at full load is 1000 m3/h (35 000 ft3) of biofuel. More coal, the support and reserve fuel, is used in spring as weather conditions may cause availability problems with peat, before the new peat can be harvested and dried at the peat bogs. Coal is always available at the site. This paper presents the first year’s operational experience of the fuel logistics chain. The successful Alholmens Kraft CFB boiler project is an excellent example of the very wide fuel flexibility that is possible in a CFB unit.
