Energy recovery and impact on land use of Maltese municipal solid waste inciner...

An investigation of the potential of Maltese Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) for energy recovery is carried in this work together with a preliminary assessment of the corresponding economic and land use impacts. MSW composition data was collected to evaluate the waste combustion enthalpy. Data from 1997 to 2010 allowed the conclusion that an incinerator with a capacity of 32,500kg/h can treat all the waste expectab...

Potential for energy recovery from maltese MSW : a thermodynamic analysis

An investigation of the Maltese Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) potential for energy recovery is carried in this work. In a first step, MSW composition data was collected to evaluate the waste combustion enthalpy by a weighted average of each fraction, using the corresponding Low Heat Value (LHV). Results indicate that each kilogram of Maltese MSW releases circa 8,726 kJ of energy when combusted. Data from 1997 to ...

Diaphragmmatic eventration: long-term follow-up and results of open-chest plica...

Objective: Diaphragmmatic eventration is a relatively uncommon entity with a simple surgical correction technique - plication of the diaphragm. This study aims to assess the clinical and ventilatory impact of this technique. Materials: From April 1988 to February 2007, we operated on 20 patients (12 men) with diaphragmmatic eventration using the postero-lateral approach and correction by radial plication. The m...

Reliability and validity of the interactive observation scale for psychiatric i...

The main characteristic of the nursing Interactive Observation Scale for Psychiatric Inpatients (IOSPI) is the necessity of interaction between raters and patients during assessment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the reliability and validity of the scale in the "real" world of daily ward practice and to determine whether the IOSPI can increase the interaction time between raters and patients and influen...
