This type of study, applied over all the cuts, enables the refinery flow scheme to be defined in order to satisfy a given set of market conditions starting from one or more crude oil feedstocks. 

It is known and widely applied a method, when the spatial model of object is formed by a set of plane sections or tomographic slices. An experienced sample, created in Californian University and reffered to as Dynamic Cardiac 3D densitometer, is constructed by this principle [2]. The serial model of this tomograph of the company Imatron Associates appeared on the market in the end 1983r.[13]. On this basis a line of computer tomographs has been created. 

In the framework of the new approach third parties have a particular responsibility. Their task has become more difficult especially in cases where products are manufactured directly to the essential requirements. In that case competent interpretation and judgement needs to be applied in order to evaluate whether the required safety level is achieved or not. Not only safeguard clauses and their economic consequences should be avoided but also possible distortion of the market. An exchange of experience between bodies which are notified for a given directive is therefore normally organised with a view to ensuring its coherent application and to avoid such negative consequences. 

The identification of Tris as a potential carcinogen dealt a resounding blow to the flame-retardant finishing industry. From 1977 to 1984, several principal supphers of flame-retardant chemicals either reduced the size of their operations or abandoned the market completely. However, Albright and Wilson Corp. (UK) continues to produce THPC—urea precondensate and market it worldwide, and Westex Corp. (Chicago) continues to apply precondensate—NH finish to millions of yards of goods for various end uses. American Cyanamid reentered the market with a precondensate-type flame retardant based on THPS. 

In 1988, a comprehensive report on the technology and competitiveness of the U.S. copper industry was issued (54). This report concludes that the revitalized U.S. copper industry could compete in all but the worst foreseeable markets and that the industry s turnaround came entirely from its own efforts, with Httie governmental assistance. The U.S. copper industry is a world leader in smelter and refinery production, applying modem technology and measures to improve productivity. 

Turkey, for centuries, has been known for the beauty of its handwoven mgs dyed with natural dyes. Nowadays Turkish peasants prefer to dye machine-made mgs with synthetic dyes since these are more readily available and easier to apply. However, there is a growing demand by collectors and connoisseurs connoisseurs for handmade mgs dyed with natural dyes, especially alizarin, and they command premium prices (22). Also, there is a small demand for natural alizarin by artists and home dyers who claim that natural alizarin produces subde shades not obtainable with synthetic alizarin. Just as synthetic alizarin forced natural alizarin out of the market, synthetic alizarin has been replaced by azoic dyes since they are easier to apply. 

U.S. ethanol imports were greatiy influenced by the rapid increase of world fermentation capacity in the late 1970s and the rapid increase in U.S. demand for fuel ethanol. Imported alcohol from Brazil reached 140 x 10 L in 1980, mosdy for the fuel market. In 1981, the U.S. Government passed an import duty on fuel ethanol. The duty was raised to 0.158/L in 1985 (248), after BraziUian imports reached 314 x 10 L in 1984. Total ethanol imports in 1984 were 568 x 10 L, with 95 x 10 L going to the industrial market, where the import duties do not apply. Another factor influencing ethanol imports...
