I think that such evaluation is a result of applying outdated comparative data relating to the costs and amounts of produced crude oil.
Current data relating to the costs of one barrel of crude oil are carefully protected.
Nevertheless, basing on data gathered some years ago by Cambridge Energy Research Associates (CERA)[5], and keeping in mind that the cost of production increases each year, the following question is worth posing: Is the energetic balance of technologies based on recovery and combustion of crude oil still positive?
The above-mentioned data clearly indicate that half of daily production took place at the cost that was lower than the sale price, on the understanding that in oil industry this does not necessarily mean direct losses, as the barriers to exit are very expensive (huge fixed costs, long-term contracts).
The indisputable merit of using hydrogen as energy carrier is the reduction of toxic emission to the natural environment.

In this study, because three CCD cameras were used to detect obstacles and determine the guide line of the AGV system, it was necessary that a PC-based hardware platform would be able to handle a great deal of image data easily and quickly.
The command control module was constructed to transmit data and orders clearly between the main control and other modules.
It communicated with the main module by an RS232 serial device and with the others by an interrupt device of 8bit data port.
Thus, each module was constructed from classes for data processing and transmission to the hardware module, and each was run independently by the multi-thread method.
Two servo motors were set up with a planetary gear type speed reducer of 1/50 reduction ratio to drive the wheel in the central lower part of the frame, as shown in Fig. 5.

The advent of different molecular techniques that broadly categorized as non-PCR or PCR-based led breeders to estimate genetic diversity on the basis of data generated by different molecular markers, which provided a means of rapid analysis of germplasm and estimates of genetic diversity, which were often found to corroborate phenotypic data.
Fuentes et al. [11] compared different methods of genetic diversity estimates ,which showed that estimates based on RAPD data rather than AFLP efficiently represented the genetic parentage and phenotypic diversity between rice varieties.
The rapid changes in population size, ecological degradation and globalization have led to a dramatic reduction in crop genetic diversity.
As a mixture of blast disease-susceptible and –resistant varieties were grown, disease incidence was reduced by 94 and 89% increase in yield was noted in susceptible varieties.Wei et al. [21] showed that genetic diversity and allelic reduction occurred over time in Chinese cultivars.
Advances in informatics and communication techniques have also markedly increased our capacity to use, analyse and communicate related data and information.

Material and methods The interest for practical medicine is focused at the data covering the effects of plasma-based chemical surface modification of materials with different degradation rate as well as biostable ones.

The FSE data have demonstrated its reduction by decreasing the polar component.
Reduction of the polar component may be explained by the changes in the number of polar groups, electric charges and free radicals.

Introduction Nowadays, monitoring water quality parameters can be done using an online system with the advantages over the conventional method include: less time consuming because data can be obtained in real time, inexpensive without the need for human to collect water samples and transport them to laboratory, and more accurate since some oxidation reduction process must be measured on-site [1].
On the other hand, measurement data must be obtained and transferred across geographical location continuously for analysis purposes [2].
The main component of an online water quality monitoring system is the sensors, where measurement data were produced from physicochemical interaction with the water samples.
Data were taken for 5 min by applying an input voltage of 1.4 V with DO concentration of 6.7 mg/l (represents the largest deviation from the regression line in Figure 2(b)).
Central to the operating principle of the sensor was the RuO2 working electrode, where the reduction process of O2 took place.

The influence of cutting force and the cutting temperature using water vapour as the cooling lubricantion was investigated and compared through changing feeding data, feeding rate andcutting depth respectively.

Fig.1 of Cutting GH4169 Fig. 2 of cutting TC Fig. 3 of cutting Cr12 Other change chart can’t be expressed because of the limited space.Hard guilder alloy tool YT15, heat alloy GH4169,titanium alloy TC4 and stainless steel Cr12 were used in cutting test under the different cutting parameters(feeding data, feeding rate and cutting depth)and different lubrication conditions(distilled water, emulsion and water vapor ).
Its function of cooling and lubricant is more effective than cutting fluid, thus it relatively increases the reduction magnitude of cutting forces.
Thus compared with the distilled water, emulsion and dry cutting, when using water vapor for cooling lubricants, the reduction magnitude of cutting force is relatively small.

Stubble remaining at about 4 ~ 5 joints, because lignification of down stem occurred, seedling quality dropped down with yield reduction of 50%, which is not economical

In light of this, the equipment used for the tube expansion tests was simulated by means of a FE model created using Abaqus and properly tuned using data coming from experimental tests carried out on AA6063-T6 tubular specimens.
Introduction The current normative framework in terms of harmful emissions is imposing a dramatic reduction of fuel consumption for the transportation sector in general [1].
Numerical simulations were run considering the tube fully in the condition as-purchased (T6), thus implementing the data reported in [10].
The constants of the constitutive equation were inversely calculated using an internal Abaqus subroutine that minimized the error with data coming from an experimental rubber compression test, carried out according to the reference standard [13].
a) b) Figure 5 The implemented material data regarding both the conditions of interest: a) flow curves, b) forming limit curves The implemented material data were then assigned to the correspondent tube’s regions by means of a field variable: in such a way, properties in the overaged condition could be always assigned to the regions that were supposed to be irradiated by the laser (green regions in Figure 6), whereas the remaining part could be modelled in the T6 state (grey regions in Figure 6).
