Numerical Simulation of Two-Phase System of “Combustible Liquid – Solid Fuel” Combustion in a Fixed Bed by K. V. Dobrego, I. A. Koznacheev

“…It is demonstrated that due to low gas permeability of the fine-dispersed solid matrix (sawdust), air flow velocity is relatively low which results in slow formation of the combustion front (the characteristic time is tens of minutes). In case of coarse solid phase (wood chips), airflow rate is higher and corresponding time of temperature fronts formation is smaller (a few minutes). …”

Implications for cost and access of site-of-service referrals for ancillary medical services in a US Medicaid population: analysis of claims data from Maryland, USA by Maqbool Dada, Simrita Singh, Kelsey J Rydland, Chester Chambers, Vishal Mundlye, Edward Kumian, Kayode Ayodele Williams

“…Shifting regulated bundles to unregulated sites, while imposing the constraint of no increase in travel time, reduced expenditures by 15.9%. This figure exceeded 30% if no limit was placed on travel-time increases.Conclusion With reasonable constraints on allowable travel time increases, shifting ancillary service bundles from regulated to unregulated sites can benefit both patients and payers in terms of cost and access.…”
