Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease(MASLD) is one of the most common causes of chronic liver disease in the developed world. It is a spectrum of disease, ranging from hepatic fat accumulation without inflammation to steatohepatitis, fibrosis, cirrhosis, and end-stage liver disease. MASLD is considered the hepatic manifestation of metabolic syndrome and is associated with obesity, dyslipidemia, and type 2 diabetes mellitus. The diagnosis of MASLD is based on [the] exclusion of other etiologies of steatotic liver disease, such as alcohol use, and supportive laboratory tests and imaging.

The Laboratory, formerly the IAEA [International Atomic Energy Agency] Marine Environment Laboratory, was established in 1961 in Monaco as part of the IAEA Department of Research and Isotopes and is the only marine laboratory within the United Nations system. It responds to regular requests for technical assistance from other United Nations agencies and programmes, such as the United Nations Environment Programme, the Food and Agriculture Organization, the World Health Organization and the International Maritime Organization. Nevertheless, the promotion of nuclear and isotopic techniques and the improved understanding of marine radioactivity continue to be central to the Laboratory's work.

The Shell Middle Distillate Synthesis(SMDS) plant now operational at Bintulu, Malaysia, is the latest in a series of partnership projects between Shell companies and the people of Malaysia that stretches back for more than 100 years. The new plant uses advanced technology to convert natural gas, abundantly available from the Central Luconia field offshore Sarawak, into liquid fuels of high purity. These fuels can also be used as components to upgrade lower quality stock derived from conventional crude oil processing. In addition, the plant can produce high-value waxes, as well as feedstocks for detergents and lubricants. The product mix can be varied to meet market needs. The SMDS technology was developed at the Shell laboratory in Amsterdam(KSLA) over a period of 20 years. After commercial and technical assessment, Bintulu was chosen in preference to sites in other parts of the world as an appropriate location for the employment of SMDS technology in the first commercial plant.

February 2003, Royal Dutch Shell (Netherlands) announced its plans to build two GTL facilities with a combined capacity of 75 000 bbls/d. QP is looking to employ Shell’s middle distillates synthesis (SDMS) technology to convert gas into diesel and kerosene.

WAsP constitutes a complete analysis and application package. Wind data, whether in the form of a time series or a climatological table, can be transformed into regional wind atlasas. Such data may be the users own data or general climatological data. The program can be applied directly for estimation of wind climate with wind atlas data from the Danish and the European Wind Atlasas and corresponding data collections from other countries-all over the world.

A number of laboratory beating devices are in use around the world for routine testing and experimental work.... The two devices most commonly used in North America are the Valley beater and the PFI mill. The Lampen mill is more popular in Scandinavia, the United Kingdom and Australia. The Jokro mill is favored in Germany.... The Lampen mill consists of a hollow circular housing rotating around a horizontal axis at 250 rpm, in which a smooth spherical 10-kg ball is allowed to roll freely.... The pulp sample is milled by the rotating ball at relatively low consistency(3. 0% for softwood, 3. 6% for hardwood), providing a slow, gentle refining action. The main variable affecting the uniformity of action is the micro-roughness of the ball and housing.

A number of laboratory beating devices are in use around the world for routine testing and experimental work.... The two devices most commonly used in North America are the Valley beater and the PFI mill.... The PFI mill... utilizes a grooved roll eccentric to a smooth trough on which the pulp sample at 10% consistency is distributed. The pressure between roll and trough can be varied by means of applied weights. Both the roll and "bedplate" rotate at high speed, but at different peripheral velocities; this action induces friction, rubbing and crushing of the fibers to produce the beating effect. With normal operation, there is no metal-to-metal contact and little wear on the edges. Consequently, the device rarely needs calibration.

[...] Le raffineur PFI [...] comporte un tambour rainuré et excentré, placé dans une cuve lisse. Le tambour et la «platine» tournent tous les deux à grande vitesse, mais suivant des vitesses périphériques différentes; de ce fait, les fibres subissent des efforts de friction, des frottements et des écrasements qui produisent l'effet de raffinage. Comme il n'existe pas de surface de contact métal contre métal et qu'il n'y a pas de lames qui puissent être usées, aucun étalonnage de l'appareil n'est nécessaire. Cet appareil présente aussi l'avantage de raffiner de petites quantités de pâte.

A number of laboratory beating devices are in use around the world for routine testing and experimental work..... The two devices most commonly used in North America are the Valley beater and the PFI mill..... The Valley beater... is essentially a miniature version of the Hollander beater. Although this device has a long tradition of use, it has some definite limitations and is gradually being displaced by the PFI mill. The principal disadvantage is the difficulty in obtaining reproducibility with respect to other Valley beaters and with respect to the same beater over long periods of time. The problem relates to variable wear patterns on the metal cutting bars.

Bien que cette pile ait été traditionnellement utilisée depuis fort longtemps, elle présente des limites bien définies et on la remplace progressivement par des raffineurs PFI. Le principal défaut de la pile Valley est la difficulté à obtenir des effets reproductibles par d'autres piles ou à obtenir les mêmes effets avec la même pile dans le temps. Ce problème est lié à l'usure des garnitures métalliques du tambour.
