Consumption-effort problem

The economic model assumes that the agent solves a consumption-effort problem in which he chooses not only an action strategy a = ... 

It is of paramount interest to search world-wide for new protein soitrces and to broaden the application potentials of existing proteins for htunan consumption. In developing cormtries, many people are still suffering from starvation and efforts are being focused on producing acceptable protein foods from non-animal proteins, to solve the problem of... 

This book answers this question for industrial processes, in particular those in the energy and chemical industry. Having a long experience in joint efforts with industry and with teaching, the authors use the fundamental laws of thermodynamics as a point of departure. They contrast the present industrial society with the emerging metabolic society, in which mass production and consumption are in harmony with the natural environment through closure of material cycles. These are ultimately driven by the primary new energy source, the sun. This book provides keys to a quantification of process efficiency and sustainability. This is illustrated in case studies, examples, and problems. 

These adhesives require relatively high cure temperatures (above 130°C). In the past this had not been a problem, because the adhesive cured in the paint bake cycle. However, with newer paint systems and efforts to reduce energy consumption, lower-cure-temperature adhesives are needed, and epoxy-urethane adhesives and other flexibilized adhesives are beginning to replace the plastisols. 

The second major model of prevention is the distribution of consumption approach. This model has been studied predominantly in the context of prevention or reduction of alcohol problems, although efforts have been directed at extending it to other drugs (Skirrow Sawka, 1987), The model is based on re.scarch showing a fairly consistent statistical distribution of alcohol consumption across cultures. The pioneering work in the development of the model was conducted by the French mathematician Sully Ledermann in the 1950s.
