Analysis of the effect of wash water reduction on bleached pulp characteristics
(Taylor &francis Ltd, 2015-03-04)
The main objective of this study was to analyse cost reduction by reducing the use of fresh water in the cellulose bleaching process and to make it easier to obtain water in a closed circuit. Eucalyptus oxygen delignified ...
The welfare cost of homicides in Brazil: accounting for heterogeneity in the willingness to pay for mortality reductions
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2016-03)
This paper estimates the health dimension of the welfare cost of homicides in Brazil incorporating age, gender, educational, and regional heterogeneities. We use a marginal willingness to pay approach to assign monetary ...
Optimal volt-VAr control operation for energy cost reduction in distribution systems considering a voltage dependent load model
(2017-01-04)
In this paper, a new mixed integer linear programming formulation is proposed to optimally control the Volt-VAr control devices installed in a balanced electrical distribution system (EDS), taking into account the presence ...
