The study is based on the result analysis of survey data and energy characteristics of the participating companies belonging to the following agrifood sectors: meat, dairy, horticultural, distribution and wine.
With the results of this work is possible to rating the companies in relation to reference levels of energy and GHGs emissions and thus promote the rational use of energy by the application of practice measures for the improvement of the energy efficiency and the reduction of GHGs emissions.
In this context, the development of studies that allow the reduction or rationalization of energy consumption is important [1].
The InovEnergy project is the most relevant Portuguese project in this context, aimed to evaluate and promote energy efficiency measures applicable to the Portuguese agrifood industry, through the identification of energy consumption profiles of the greatest number of data sets collected to date in portuguese agrifood companies [14-17].

Methods and data Each investigated mill is an integrated bleached kraft pulp and paper mill.
For the cost, according to the production capacity of each enterprise and relevant investment soured from reference [13] presented in Table 2, the reduction of PCDD/Fs for unit investment are about 26.6-29.7μgTEQ/Yuan.

Due to the limitation of investigation data, the study didn’t refer to black liquor emission load and energy consumption which are also critical to evaluate the application effect of ECF.
Due to the limited data, the analysis didn’t involve some equally vital aspects such as black liquor emission load and energy consumption.

After using the microwave heating process it was observed a significant reduction of temperature-time parameters to BHFM formation for mechanically alloyed mixtures compared to homogeneous mixture.
These advantages include unique microstructure and properties, improved product yield, energy savings, reduction in manufacturing cost and synthesis of new materials [1].
The suitable graph for the stoichiometric mixtures of BaOx6α-Fe2O3 formed by mechanical alloying compared with the homogeneous mixture was drawn in figure 2 based on the data presented in table 3, where the maximum values of particle size ranges appear.
Fig. 2 Maximum particle size for mixtures of BaCO3 and 6α-Fe2O3 powders It can be seen in the resulting data from particle size analysis that starting from a granulation of 1,5 μm for stoichiometric homogeneous mixture of BaOx6α-Fe2O3, has reached to 0,74 μm for mechanically alloyed mixture 5 hours and the last mechanically alloyed mixture for 20 hours show a significant reduction of particle size located around 96 nm.
Sample Heating temperature [oC] Heating time [τ min] 1 HM 1050 ≈15 2 MA5h 950 3 MA20h 900 The choice of the presintering temperatures was done taking into account that according to data from literature, the volumetric microwave heating efficiency is to reduce considerably the presintering temperature by over 300oC and presintering time by over 80 %.

And the reduction of the bounding box’s height is controlled as restraint of vertex culling.
In order to describe the algorithm better, the denotations are explained as follow: Figure1 Calculation of local curvature As shown in Figure1, for a vertex PK, the triangle patches which include Pk are marked as :{} ；one triangle patch among {} is marked as ，which is called datum triangle.
For example, Figure1 is longer than ，triangle is more different than relative to datum triangle. and reflect curvature around PK, the biggeris，the bigger curvature is.

The reduction of ultimate load and increase in deflection of beams after fire in shear test were also observed.
Fig.2 Furnace temperature progression curve Test results and discussion The data generated from above tests can be used to study the overall performance of reinforced ceramsite LWAC beams after fire.
The average reduction of the shear ultimate capacity of beams LC20-Q-F1 and LC20-Q-F2 is about 20%.
For the main reinforcing bars, the yielding load after fire reduced about 3.8%, and there is no reduction for the ultimate load capacity listed in Table.4.
The yielding load of reinforcing bars in beams after fire reduced about 3.8%, and there is no reduction observed in the ultimate loads.

The deviation angle can reach about 20° after 70% applied reduction under the friction coefficient of 0.20.
Introduction Weight reduction has become one of the major goals and principals of engineering design and manufacturing.
The channel die compression was performed up to 70% reduction, and the data of shear strain fraction (activity) for each deformation mode and crystallographic orientation were extracted at each 10% reduction.
Table 1 gives the shear strain fractions of pyramidal slip at 70% applied reduction for various initial orientations.
Table 2 lists the deviation angles from ideal <0001>//ND after 70% applied reduction for various initial orientations.

It is clear from TPR profile that Mo/γ-Al2O3 catalyst displayed two reduction peaks with temperature maxima at 535 oC and 971oC, ascribed to the reduction of Mo oxide species.
The first peak at Tmax= 535 oC is attributed to the reduction of Mo6+ to Mo4+ species of polymeric Mo structures.
The second peak at Tmax= 971 oC is attributed to the further reduction of Mo species produced during the reduction in the first stage, together with the partial reduction of support strongly interacting with coordinated tetrahedral Mo species (Mo3+ to Mo2+) [10].
This increase in the reduction temperature maxima showed strong metal-support interaction.

This process enables significant reduction of tool-path necessary for machining these shapes which also leads to reduction of the working time.
Data from CAD software in the STL format were used for this calculation.
The data are formed by Cartesian coordinates of vertex points and normal of each of the triangles in the given network.
This software enables loading STL data of general surfaces.
The described processed algorithm enables loading data in STL format.

Single well pump test data from 17 wells in the Phu Phan aquifer (30-120 m depth) were analyzed to obtain transmissivity (T) and K.
Required data are the discharge, Q, a set of drawdowns, s, and times, t, from the start of pumping.
From the measurement data, we obtained a set of pairs of s and t.
The values of K were evaluated from these data using the Jacob method as mention above.
The empirical probability [6], Fs, was calculated by Fs = m/(n+1), m is rank of data, and n is number of data.
