The CAREM research, design and demonstration (RD D) costs necessary for safety acceptance are estimated as US 95 million, including the construction of a 100 MW(th) prototype (US 85 million) and other specific tests (US 10 million). 

Cheitcoff et al. (14) described patients from ICUs referred to LTMVUs. Between 1998 and 2002, out of 112 patients, 50 were weaned and decannulated. Their diagnoses included COPD (n = 23), NMD (n = 13), postoperative conditions (n = 9), and non-COPD pulmonary disease (n = 5). Planells et al. (15) also reported their experience with an LTMVU. Between 1997 and 2001, both NIPPV and TIPPV were established in a total of 62 patients. Their diagnoses included COPD 26%, CNS disease 35%, NMD 18%, spinal cord injury 6.6%, postoperative conditions 5%, and others 10%. Patients were enrolled for 64 days (9-150 days) after starting ventilation. Most candidates (n = 43) were identified in the category of weanable, some were clearly unweanable (n = 8) and others were using NIPPV (n = 11). Sixty five percent (n = 28) of the weanable patients were successfully weaned. 

In the case of a 62-year-old woman with bilateral carotid body paraganglioma (19) and central alveolar hypoventilation—who received mechanical ventilation in 1990 with negative pressure through a poncho wrap and subsequently NIPPV through a nasal mask— two months after treatment symptoms, signs of right ventricular failure and daytime blood gases all improved. She has successfully been ventilated for 16 years. 

Finally, Minces et al. (20) analyzed, retrospectively, a cohort of seven chronically ventilator-dependent children receiving HMV. The authors concluded that in this small group of patients, respiratory support at home improved their patient s quality of life and family dynamics, while reducing the cost of their care. 

In summary, an increasing number of patients in South America require LTMV, at least in part, because of improved ICU care. Such patients have different needs and resource consumption patterns than patients in acute ICU conditions. As LTMV is resource intense. 

Successful weaning in an LTMVU is important. Reasons to promote a quick transfer of clinically stable patients from an ICU to an LTMVU are based on the good results, the relatively low incidence of complications, a better patient-family contact, and reduced costs. HMV is an established therapeutic alternative, especially when it includes a home-visiting program. Patients and families are increasingly taught self-management of their condition.

Countries that use a mixed-system, eg, Argentina, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the Netherlands, have a positive fist for artificial flavor materials, and a restricted fist of natural and nature identical flavor materials. This system addresses some of the shortcomings of the positive and negative fist systems. 

Sa.Ia.rs and Lakes. Brines having high lithium concentration are found in salars of northern Chile, southwestern Bohvia, and northwestern Argentina. Brines of lower lithium concentration are found in salars in the western United States and the Tibetan Plateau. Brines pumped from beneath the surface of the Salar de Atacama (Chile) and Silver Peak (Clayton Valley, Nevada) are used for commercial production of lithium uti1i2ing solar evaporation (see Chemicals frombrines). The concentration of selected ions in brines from salars and lakes of potential commercial interest worldwide are shown in Table 1.

Gaseous diffusion cascades for uranium enrichment have also been built in the United Kingdom, France, the former USSR, China, and, more recendy, in Argentina. 

Pecans. Pecan is the most important horticultural crop native to North America (163). The United States is the only substantial producer of pecan, despite the fact that pecans have been introduced into AustraUa, Israel, South Africa, and Argentina. The principal producing states, from high to low, are Georgia, Texas, New Mexico, Louisiana, Alabama, Oklahoma, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Arkansas, and California. Domestic production of 135,597 t/yr in 1990—1991 was valued at 308,954,500 (153). 

All countries listed are included in Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) except for Argentina, Cuba, Cypress, Egypt, the former GDR, Hong Kong, India, Israel, Malaysia, Malta, Philippines, South Africa, Taiwan, the former Yugoslavia, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. 

Countries not covered systematically include Argentina, AustraUa, Austria, Brazil, the former Czechoslovakia, Denmark, Einland, Hungary, India, Israel, Italy, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland. In addition, patents from some of the systematically covered countries may have been indexed in eadier years. 

These are owned by the governments of Argentina, India, Italy, Spain, and others.

Average prices of the principal U.S. oilseeds and derived products for 1990—1994 are summarized in Table 9. The United States is the principal producer of soybeans China is the largest grower of cottonseed and peanuts Argentina leads in the production of sunflower seed (Table 10). 

Soybeans are the most important oilseed in international trade. The United States, Bra2il, and Argentina are the main suppHers to the export markets. In 1994—1995, United States exports of 22.0 x 10 metric tons represented 32% of the domestic production, 16% of the world crop, and 69% of the international trade in soybeans. The European Union, Japan, Mexico, and Taiwan were the largest importers of soybeans (51). Japan, which produces <5% of its soybean needs, is the largest single soybean customer of the United States. Japan imported 3.4 x 10 t in 1994 (51). The United States also exports processed soybean products, eg, oil and meal. For 1990—1993, an average of 47% of the crop was exported as whole beans and processed products.
