A basic scheme of the configuration of the existing PV-diesel autonomous power system is presented in Figure 5.2. The main power components of this system are PV panels, diesel generating set, batteries and a converter. To simulate this system and perform a techno-economic analysis individual costs (capital cost, replacement cost, operation and maintenance cost) have to be identified for each component. The identification of these costs was mainly based on the RETScreen database developed in Canada (Natural Resources Canada, 1998).

D GIS provides a particularly useful method to address the challenges of deep mineral exploration as it permits spatial data analysis in a rigorous fashion (de Kemp 2007). Based on examples from the Noranda camp, one of Canada s most mature and economically important mining camps, the present paper highlights innovative approaches that can be...

The insecticide acephate, applied as a water spray has a very short life in terns of biological activity and for this, as well as economic reasons, it is not used on large scale operations in Canada (12). Residue analysis of acephate foliar deposits (13) showed that more than half of the insecticide was lost within one day of spraying, and that by 32 days post spray, the amount of insecticide had decreased to less than 0.01 ppm (the detection limit for 20 gm of substrate). The metabolite of acephate known as Ortho 9006 (0,S-dimethyl phosphoramidothioate) was also assessed in this study but was found to be present only in very small amounts. At 2 hours post spray the average acephate concentration on spruce foliage was 55.15 ppm, and the average concentration of the Ortho 9006 was 0.12 ppm. There was no increase with time in the amount of the metabolite. The rapid... 

The notion that methods of statistical analysis should be applied to reactor safety standards was first put forward by Siddall of Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd., Chalk River, Ontario in 1959 (57). This early paper is of interest because it invokes the notion of a balance between increased wealth of the community that may be expected to accrue from the advent of nuclear power on the credit side, and risks of injuries and deaths because of the hazards of the nuclear process on the other it goes on to suggest money costs (economic criteria) as the avenue through which to achieve such a balance. The details given in the paper are only generally relevant today, but some of the introductory sentences have a modern sound to them and are worth quoting as an introduction to the basic philosophy of the probability approach to reactor safety. The study of nuclear-reactor safety (i.e., in 1959, some 15 years ago in the life of an industry now only 20 years of age) is in an unsatisfactory state. Some aspects of the problem have received... 

A thorough analysis of the economics of membrane photoreactors can hardly be found in published data because the research is still mainly at laboratory and pilot scale. A pilot scale plant (Photo-Cat ) has been implemented in full scale by Purifies ES Inc. (Canada) company which in 2010 was awarded contracts at the W.R. Grace Superfund Site in Concord, Massachusetts (USA) and at an elementary school in Ontario (Canada). 

In an optimum context, a thorough cost-benefit analysis would allow analysts to determine the economic and social values of these events and offer guidance for urban planning. It is unfortunate that event finances are rarely transparent and make meaningful calculations and comparisons almost impossible. In his discussion of world s fairs, Alfred Heller (1999) notes that. . every world s fair is a financial failure, though some are more creative in their accounting than others. I leave the final word to Arthur Erickson, architect of the Canada pavilion at Expo70 in Osaka ...
