Biomass torrefaction was tested on pilot scale (50 kg h−1 throughput) for 3 types of wood: spruce, ash and willow at torrefaction temperatures of 250 °C 265 °C.
Hydrogenation experiments were also carried out on a pilot plant scale (1.5 kg catalyst capacity) and the reactor performance was found to agree reasonably well with the predictions of a theoretical model.
All caught seals were weighed using a Salter spring scale (±0.5 kg), but supplementary data of seasonal changes in weights of adult ringed seals was compiled from the seal data base at the Swedish Museum of Natural History.
The weight was measured using standardized bathroom scale (10 kg weight was used).
It is calibrated on consecutive linear segments to compensate possible non-linear behaviour on the full nominal scale (90 kg).
Quantitative information on all recipes was obtained by weighing all individual ingredients, including water, as well as the cooked weight of the food (Salter Brecknell WS scale; 15 kg, 5 g accuracy).
Clinical characteristics at the time of ART initiation included performance scale, bodyweight (kg), World Health Organization (WHO) clinical stage, CD4 count (cells/mm), ART regimen, drug toxicity/side effects, and active tuberculosis (TB) during treatment.
Sociodemographic variables: age and gender; anthropometric variables: Height (m), measured through calibrated height scales; weight (Kg): measured through calibrated weight scales; Body Mass Index (BMI): in kg/m; Body surface area (m) calculated through Mosteller's method [ 19].
This systematic approach, developed on the basis of mechanistic understanding of the critical material and process attributes for ordered mixing and segregation, allowed us to consistently manufacture tablets with high content uniformity both at 1-kg scale and 40-kg scale.
A face-centered central composite design was applied in order to optimize the granulation process on a semi-full scale (30-kg batch) for the geometric mean granule size.
