There are lessons to be drawn from the SSPS experience that may help evaluate the potential of central receiver technologies. Our experience confirms that sodium-cooled recievers can collect solar energy efficiently and reliably; it also confirms the need for large scale, not only on the basis of manpower considerations but also becaise of the relative

Measuring Inefficiency Via Potential Improvements
Journal of Productivity Analysis, 2003In a recent paper Bogetoft and Hougaard (1999) suggest the use of a new potential improvements approach to efficiency evaluation which has the advantage of separating the issue of benchmark selection from the issue of efficiency measurement. In the present paper the potential improvements inefficiency index is reexamined and a DEA-like approach for its

Engineered pharmabiotics with improved therapeutic potential
Human Vaccines, 2008Although described for over a century, scientists and clinicians alike are only now beginning to realize the significant medical applications of probiotic cultures. Given the increasing commercial and clinical relevance of probiotics, improving their stress tolerance profile and ability to overcome the physiochemical defences of the host is an ...

Results and lessons learned from tests and operation programs of the SSPS-DCS experimental plant have brought forward some areas of potential performance improvements. Illustrated by a daily energy stair-step, the behavior of major subsystems and their respective losses are evaluated and a series of potential possibilities for improvement are discussed

Improvement Potential in Danish Elderly Care
Health Care Management Science, 2004This paper examines Danish elderly care resource utilization among municipalities. The available production data are aggregated, which means that it is virtually impossible to allocate costs to specific services. We show that Multi-directional Efficiency Analysis (MEA) provides a much more subtle performance picture than Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA)

Potential for improvement in radiation therapy
International Journal of Radiation Oncology*Biology*Physics, 1988A successful strategy for improving the efficacy of radiation therapy has been to improve dose distribution, that is, reduce treatment volume toward target volume. This is so as the smaller treatment volume has permitted a higher dose to the target (hence a high tumor control probability) and a lesser volume of non-target tissues being irradiated ...

Future Improvement of Milk Production: Potential for Nutritional Improvement
Journal of Animal Science, 1983Milk production/cow has increased so dramatically in the past 30 yr that some people question the wisdom of attempting to further increase milk production for fear we will shorten the lives of our dairy cows. What is the limit to milk production? At least two cows have produced over 22,000 kg of milk in a single lactation and numerous cows consistently

Potential radiotherapy improvements with respiratory gating
Australasian Physics & Engineering Sciences in Medicine, 2002Gating is a relatively new and potentially useful therapeutic addition to external beam radiotherapy applied to regions affected by intra-fraction motion. The impact was of gating on treatment margins, image artifacts, and volume and positional accuracy was investigated by CT imaging of sinusoidally moving spheres.

Seaweed Potential in Environmental Improving
Theoretical and Natural Science, 2023Owing to the effect of frequent human activities, the climate nowadays on plaxnet earth has become more and more stressed. Pollutions such as greenhouse gases are products from factories and other human activities and have become extremely severe, for the damage they could cause to both human health and surrounding environments. For decades, scientists

Potential Improvements for Geosteering
Proceedings, 2013Geosteering pioneers started with basic technologies for well placement. In the early days, several challenges were handled individually without integrating different sources of data, which reflected negatively on the final results. Today, there have been many improvements with geosteering technologies.
