Mr Brown also announced he was giving £5m to co-finance a long-term pilot project to test "smart meters".
An expensive and long-term pilot reintroduction project in Knapdale, Argyll, where three beaver families were released in 2009 under a government licence, was usurped by the rapid spread of illegally released beavers in Tayside and Perthshire.
Research has looked at the impact of more sport and of encouraging the eating of more fruit and vegetables, but there has been no long-term pilot of a community-wide scheme to show the impact of a combination of small initiatives.
These long-term pilot tests aimed to improve the process and gain reliable experimental data to scale up the CaL process to industrial size.
A long-term pilot test is presented and the stability of hydrodynamics and temperature profiles in carbonator and calciner reactor are shown.
The presented work discusses the results obtained in long-term pilot tests performed in a 1 MWth CaL pilot plant at Technische Universität Darmstadt.
The paper reports a small-scale, long-term pilot project designed to foster strategic and reasoning abilities in young primary school pupils by engaging them in a number of computer games, mainly those usually called mind games (brainteasers, puzzlers, etc).
The future use of these measures is desirable, as the DHP-18 has been tested as part of the UK Department of Health's Long Term Conditions PROMs pilot, and there is interest in using PROMs in long term conditions to track patient change (both clinically and for the individual), and assess service performance.
However, long term performance data of these pilot plants is not reported in literature.
The plant is designed by SINTEF and is based on the experience from building and operating two smaller pilot plants and long term research on absorption processes.
Due to the small sample size of this pilot study a long term multisite clinical trial is necessary to confirm these first findings.
