Optimization of a simple LNG process using sequential quadratic programming
The efficiency of using sequential quadratic programming (SQP) for the optimization of a PRICO process for the production of liquefied natural gas (LNG) is demonstrated. Most of the returned objective values have been better, and the execution times much lower, than in most previously published work on similar optimization cases. The optimization runs discussed in this paper require around 5 min of execution time.acceptedVersio
Neutrino Interactions In Oscillation Experiments
We calculate neutrino induced cross-sections relevant for oscillation
experiments, including the -lepton threshold for quasi-elastic, resonance
and deep inelastic scattering. In addition to threshold effects, we include
nuclear corrections for heavy targets which are moderate for quasi-elastic and
large for single pion production. Nuclear effects for deep inelastic reactions
are small. We present cross sections together with their nuclear corrections
for various channels which are useful for interpreting the experimental results
and for determining parameters of the neutrino sector..Comment: 24 pages, 18 figure

Forms of participation – the development and application of a conceptual model of participation in work environment interventions
In the realm of work environment improvements, the Nordic countries have led the way in demonstrating
that employee participation is a key requisite for achieving improvements. Despite this there is a lack of
precision on what ‘participatory’ in a participatory work environment intervention means. In this study,
we present a conceptual model for participation in work environment interventions and apply it to
protocols and manuals from 8 participatory interventions to determine the form of participation used in
each intervention. We suggest that the conceptual model can be applied in the design and assessment of
participatory work environment interventions
