An accurate model for RO process has significant importance in the simulation and optimization proposes. A steady state model of RO process is developed based on solution diffusion theory to describe the permeation through membrane and thin film approach is used to describe the concentration polarization. The model is validated against the operation data reported in the literature. For the sake of clear understanding of the interaction of feed temperature and salinity on the design and operation of RO based desalination systems, simultaneous optimization of design and operation of RO network is investigated based on two-stage RO superstructure via MINLP approach. Different cases with several feed concentrations and seasonal variation of seawater temperature are presented. Also, the possibility of flexible scheduling in terms of the number of membrane modules required in operation in high and low temperature seasons is investigated A simultaneous modelling and optimization method for...

Ce qui est grand commence grand, ne se maintient dans sa persistance que par un libre retour de la grandeur, et, si c'est grand, finit aussi dans la grandeur. Il en est ainsi de la philosophie des Grecs. Elle a fini dans la grandeur avec Aristote. Seul le sens commun et l'homme médiocre s'imaginent que ce qui est grand devrait durer indéfiniment, et en outre identifient cette durée avec l'éternel.

The present research demonstrates that fear of being single predicts settling for less in romantic relationships, even accounting for constructs typically examined in relationship research such as anxious attachment. Study 1 explored the content of people's thoughts about being single.

Meditação, 2024

O objetivo do presente artigo é ensinar a verdadeira meditação, preferencialmente a monges budistas.

Resumo: O presente trabalho discute as múltiplas dimensões da dádiva vivenciada na prática religiosa do Vale do Amanhecer, movimento místico-esotérico fundado no final dos anos 60 no Distrito Federal por "Tia Neiva", destacando a dádiva existente entre os adeptos e as entidades espirituais, bem como entre eles mesmos. Nossa análise busca compreender o sentido social que a dádiva ocupa neste grupo religioso partindo das contribuições tanto de autores que discutem o dom quanto daqueles que pensam a dinâmica simbólica do social, em especial Bourdieu.
