Transportation issues overview

This volume gives an overview of the current status and an outlook to future more reliable predictive approaches. It is subdivided in five sections dealing with studies of membrane permeability and oral absorption, drug dissolution and solubility, the role of transporters and metabolism in oral absorption, computational approaches to drug absorption and bioavailability, and finally with certain drug development issues. 

As an essential transportation and heating fuel, and principal raw material for many process industries the future supply of natural gas is an always critical issue. Because it is more widely geographically distributed than petroleum, maintaining an adequate supply at stable pricing is a national and world economic and societal concern. In concluding this section the authors feel an overview of... 

The Army has a number of options available for the treatment of NSCWM. They include the use of facilities designed to treat both non-stockpile and stockpile CWM, the use of mobile systems that can be incorporated into a facility or transported to the site of a find, and individual treatment technologies. Like mobile systems, individual treatment technologies may be incorporated into a larger entity such as a facility or mobile system or transported to the site of a find. This chapter examines these options, or tools, and, where appropriate, presents the committee s findings and recommendations related to their use. Each facility, mobile system, and individual technology is examined from the standpoint of its current status, as well as technical, RAP, and public involvement issues. An overview of the options for treating NSCWM considered in this chapter appears in Table 2-1. 

There have long been significant concerns with the transportation of chemical warfare materiel. These concerns have been one of the driving forces behind the development of transportable treatment systems by the Army. This section presents an overview of transportation alternatives and related issues for the non-stockpile program. 

The purpose of LA-ICP/MS use is to remove material from the surface and transport it into the ICP for ionization to obtain isotope ratios quickly with little sample preparation. Inter-element isotope ratios are also important in certain radionuclide applications, but are compromised by fractionation issues. Laser ablation provides an overview of which analytes and isotopes are present and approximates the concentration of each. 

This book provides an extensive overview of current thinking on applications, materials issues, and scale-up considerations related to dense oxygen and hydrogen transport membranes. For a broad outlook, international contributions have been obtained from researchers in academia, industry and national laboratories. Readers new to the field should find ample information on membrane fundamentals. Advanced researchers should find many previously unpublished concepts and research results to help forward their work. Readers will be aided by the large number of references to the membrane literature and especially by the extensive references to the patent literature, which reflect the potential commercial applications of membranes. 

The goal of this chapter is to give an overview of the current status of research on the systemic microcirculation. Issues of pulmonary microcirculation are not discussed. Because of space limitations, it is not possible to recognize numerous important contributions to the field of microcirculatory mechanics and mass transport. In most cases we refer to recent reviews, when available, and journal articles where earlier references can be found. We discuss experimental and theoretical findings and point out gaps in our understanding of microcirculatory flow phenomena. 

This chapter focuses on the use of ILs as solvent for organic compounds and metal extraction. An overview of the recent advances in this field in IL extraction technology is given, including issues such as L-L extraction and ILMs for metal ions and organic compounds, transport mechanisms, configurations, stability, and fields of application. 

One of the issues that has only be limited been addressed is the relation between the source of the CO2, the fraction and amount of impurities, the transport of the CO2, and the final application There are many aspect related to the carbon dioxide quality, after the capture process. In Table 1 an overview is given of the constraints for the most important contaminates that can arise after the CO2 is captured from different source. From Table 1 it becomes clear that the different steps, capture, transport, storage or utilization, will be affected by different species, and for the different species different fractions are allowed. 

ABSTRACT In the presented paper, the authors research work is focused on the comparative analysis of developed expert system for transportation means maintenance processes performance implementation in various rail buses exploitation processes performance. As a result, in the Introduction section, the transportation means maintenance processes issues and a briefly literature overview in the research area are discussed. In the next Sections, the decision support system and expert system for means of transport maintenance processes performance are described. Following this, the case studies of transportation systems performing in Lower Silesia province, Poland is provided. The work ends up with summary and directions for further research. 

Answering to these calls, the aim of this paper is to provide a broad overview and analysis of how risk has been defined, and what risk perspective is taken in methods for risk assessment of maritime transportation. Our main interest is a number of risk-theoretic aspects, related to the underlying conceptualizations, perspectives and principles in the sense intended by Aven (2012a). Reflecting on foundational issues in the application area of risk assessment in maritime transportation requires a methodological framework. Two aspects of this framework are introduced in Sections 2 and 3, respectively addressing the risk concept (what risk is ), and the risk perspective (how risk is looked at ). While these aspects are closely linked in practical applications, making a clear distinction between these is important from a foundational viewpoint.
