Low-rank coals, including sub-bituminous coals, brown coals, lignites, peats and other humic solids, represent one of the largest fossil fuel resources in the world. Most of the low-rank coal deposits are located near the earth's surface, and can be mined at significantly lower cost than typical bituminous coals. In addition, many low-rank coals have a very low sulfur content, relative to bituminous coals. As a result, low-rank coals are emerging as preferred feedstocks for coal liquefaction.
However, low-rank coals present special problems in coal liquefaction. Low-rank coals are richer in oxygen than bituminous coals. Most of the additional oxygen is present as carboxylic acids and their salts. These carboxyl groups contribute to several important problems in liquefaction of coal. First, they bind water strongly, making drying low-rank coals difficult and costly. The bound water not removed by drying is liberated during coal liquefaction, thereby lowering hydrogen partial pressures and accelerating catalyst deactivation. Second, metals bound as the salts of these carboxylic acids are not effectively removed by conventional coal cleaning methods, and therefore can be liberated during liquefaction. This can result in the need for a de-asher to reduce high ash load. Moreover, once liberated, these metals can attack and deactivate the supported catalysts typically used to promote liquefaction of the coal. Third, carboxylic acids and their salts can undergo retrograde reactions, for example ketone formation, that make coal harder to liquefy. These retrograde reactions are especially troublesome when the coal contains appreciable amounts of calcium and magnesium. Finally, carboxylic acids and their salts can decarboxylate during coal liquefaction liberating carbon dioxide. In hydroliquefaction, this liberated carbon dioxide lowers the hydrogen partial pressure and requires scrubbing to maintain the desired purity of the recycle hydrogen stream.
Pretreatment of low-rank coals prior to liquefaction is well known in the industry. Most of these pretreatment processes are designed to address the problem of how to handle alkaline earth metals, particularly calcium, which are contained in the coal. These metals can react with available anions during liquefaction to form solid scale particles which deposit in the liquefaction reactor, thereby reducing reactor volume, liquefaction time, and total throughput. Moreover, a portion of the scale can remain in the liquid product and result in downstream plugging.
It has been discovered that alkaline earth metal deposits, which form during liquefaction of low-rank coal, can be avoided by converting these metals to a salt which will remain stable during liquefaction. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,332,668 discloses pretreating low-rank coal prior to liquefaction by contacting the coal with phthalic acid, phthalic anhydride, pyromellitic acid, or pyromellitic anhydride to convert the scale-forming components to the corresponding phthalate or pyromellitate prior to liquefaction. It is believed that the majority of the alkaline earth metals in the coal is converted into an insoluble, thermally stable alkaline earth metal phthalate which remains within the coal and is released during liquefaction as particulate solids which are recovered with the liquefaction bottoms.
Another coal pretreatment process for handling scale formation that occurs during liquefaction of low-rank coal is contacting the coal with a sulfur-containing compound prior to liquefaction. When the sulfur-containing compound is an oxide of sulfur, the addition of the sulfur dioxide or sulfur trioxide is believed to form an anion which combines with the alkaline earth metal to form a molecular species which precipitates within the pore as an insoluble molecular sulfate of the alkaline earth metal. An example of such a process is U.S. Pat. No. 4,304,655 which discloses contacting low-rank coal with a combination of pretreating agents comprising sulfur dioxide and an oxidizing agent. Another example is U.S. Pat. No. 4,161,440 which contacts a low-rank coal with an oxide of sulfur, in liquid phase. U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,149,959 and 4,094,765 contact coal with a H.sub.2 S gas prior to coal liquefaction.
Another way of addressing the scale formation problems associated with low-rank coals is to pretreat the coal by contacting it with a carbon dioxide-containing gas. It is believed that this process converts the alkaline earth metal to its corresponding carbonate which remains with the coal during liquefaction and, therefore, does not form scale. An example of such a process is U.S. Pat. No. 4,206,033 wherein a low-rank coal is contacted with carbon dioxide at a partial pressure above one atmosphere prior to coal liquefaction. Another example of a carbon dioxide pretreatment process can be found in U.S. Pat. No. 4,714,543.
U.S. Pat. No., 4,450,066 handles the problem of scale formation during liquefaction by hydrothermal pretreatment prior to liquefaction. It is believed that carbon dioxide is released during the hydrothermal treatment. The liberated carbon dioxide is then absorbed by the water, which is effectively retained in the coal pores by a hydrocarbon solvent and elevated pressure, and reacts with liberated alkaline earth metal to form the corresponding alkaline earth metal carbonate. These metal carbonates are not separated from the coal. Rather, they remain with the coal during liquefaction, where they can adversely affect coal conversion and product quality and can deactivate the catalysts used to promote liquefaction and product upgrading.
The above-described methods of pretreating low-rank coal can ameliorate scale problems in liquefaction. However, these methods do not remove the alkali and alkali earth metals from the coal during liquefaction. These metals can deactivate catalysts, and can adversely affect coal conversion and product quality.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,579,562 discloses decarboxylating low-rank coal by contacting the coal with water at a temperature of about 400.degree.-650.degree. F. and at a pressure sufficient to prevent boiling of the water prior to combusting the coal. This process makes the coal easier to dry, increases heating value, and makes it more economical to transport. Nowhere in this patent is there disclosed or suggested liquefying the decarboxylated coal.
European Patent No. 264,743 discloses contacting an aqueous suspension of coal with carbon monoxide in the presence of a hydroxide or an alkali metal carbonate at a temperature of about 662.degree.-809.degree. F. for about 5-60 minutes. Although this process can be effective at removing undesirable carboxylic acids, the carbon monoxide can react with the water to form hydrogen and carbon dioxide. The presence of carbon dioxide during liquefaction can lower hydrogen partial pressure, thereby decreasing coal liquefaction. Moreover, the presence of hydrogen can undesirably retard decarboxylation.

Lesson: Introduction to Coal Liquefaction

### Overview

Coal liquefaction is the process of converting solid coal into liquid fuels such as diesel or gasoline. This process is used to produce synthetic fuels from low-quality coal, which is abundant and cheaper than traditional fossil fuels. In this lesson, we will learn about the basics of coal liquefaction, its importance, and the challenges associated with low-rank coals.

### Objectives

1. Understand the process of coal liquefaction.
2. Identify the advantages of using coal liquefaction.
3. Recognize the challenges associated with low-rank coals.
4. Apply the knowledge gained to solve real-world problems related to coal liquefaction.

### Background

Low-rank coals, including sub-bituminous coals, brown coals, lignites, peats, and other humic solids, represent one of the largest fossil fuel resources in the world. Most of the low-rank coal deposits are located near the earth's surface, and can be mined at significantly lower cost than typical bituminous coals. In addition, many low-rank coals have a very low sulfur content, relative to bituminous coals. As a result, low-rank coals are emerging as preferred feedstocks for coal liquefaction.

However, low-rank coals present special problems in coal liquefaction. Low-rank coals are richer in oxygen than bituminous coals. Most of the additional oxygen is present as carboxylic acids and their salts. These carboxyl groups contribute to several important problems in liquefaction of coal. First, they bind water strongly, making drying low-rank coals difficult and costly. The bound water not removed by drying is liberated during coal liquefaction, thereby lowering hydrogen partial pressures and reducing the overall efficiency of the process.

### Importance of Coal Liquefaction

Coal liquefaction is important because it provides an alternative source of energy when traditional fossil fuels are scarce or expensive. It also helps reduce dependence on foreign oil and gas imports. Additionally, coal liquefaction can be used to produce cleaner burning fuels that emit fewer greenhouse gases than traditional fossil fuels.

### Challenges Associated with Low-Rank Coals

The challenges associated with low-rank coals in coal liquefaction include:

1. High oxygen content: Low-rank coals are richer in oxygen than bituminous coals. This makes them more difficult to process and reduces the overall efficiency of the liquefaction process.
2. Strong water binding: Low-rank coals bind water strongly, making drying them difficult and costly. This can lead to lower hydrogen partial pressures and reduced overall efficiency.
3. Presence of carboxylic acids and salts: These compounds contribute to several important problems in liquefaction of coal, including lower hydrogen partial pressures and reduced overall efficiency.

### Conclusion

In summary, coal liquefaction is an important process that converts solid coal into liquid fuels. Low-rank coals present special challenges in coal liquefaction due to their high oxygen content, strong water binding, and presence of carboxylic acids and salts. However, by understanding these challenges and developing strategies to overcome them, coal liquefaction can provide a viable alternative source of energy.

Lesson: Vaccines and Community Immunity

Introduction:
Vaccines are one of the most effective ways to prevent infectious diseases. In this lesson, we will learn about vaccines, community immunity, and how they help protect us from diseases.

Section 1: What is a vaccine?

A vaccine is a substance that is introduced into the body to stimulate the immune system to produce immunity to a specific disease. Vaccines contain weakened or killed germs, or parts of them, that help the body recognize and fight the disease if it is encountered again.

Section 2: How do vaccines work?

When a vaccine is introduced into the body, the immune system recognizes the germs as foreign and creates antibodies to fight them. These antibodies remain in the body and provide protection against the disease. If the person is exposed to the same disease in the future, their immune system can quickly recognize and fight off the germs, preventing illness.

Section 3: Why are vaccines important?

Vaccines are important because they prevent the spread of infectious diseases within a community. When a large percentage of people in a community are immune to a disease, it becomes difficult for the disease to spread. This is called herd immunity or community immunity. Herd immunity protects those who cannot be vaccinated, such as young children or people with weakened immune systems.

Section 4: Who should get vaccinated?

Everyone should get vaccinated, except for people with certain medical conditions or allergies. Vaccines are safe and effective, and they protect not only the person who gets vaccinated but also the community as a whole.

Section 5: Conclusion

In conclusion, vaccines are an important tool in preventing the spread of infectious diseases. They work by stimulating the immune system to create antibodies that protect against the disease. Community immunity is achieved when a large percentage of people in a community are vaccinated, making it difficult for the disease to spread. Getting vaccinated is a personal responsibility and a public service that helps protect everyone.

Glossary:
- Vaccine: A substance introduced into the body to stimulate immunity to a specific disease
- Immune system: The body's defense against infections and diseases
- Antibodies: Proteins produced by the immune system to fight off germs

Lesson: Introduction to Adaptogens

## Section 1: What are Adaptogens?
Adaptogens are a class of herbs and plants that have been shown to help the body manage stress and maintain overall health. They work by regulating the body's stress response, which includes the release of hormones like cortisol and adrenaline. This regulation helps to reduce feelings of anxiety and fatigue while promoting a sense of calm and well-being.

## Section 2: How do Adaptogens Work?
Adaptogens work by modulating the activity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, which is responsible for regulating the body's response to stress. When the body is exposed to stress, the HPA axis releases cortisol, a hormone that helps to mobilize energy reserves and increase alertness. However, prolonged exposure to stress can lead to a buildup of cortisol in the body, which can cause a range of negative health effects, including weight gain, insomnia, and impaired immune function.

Adaptogens help to regulate the HPA axis by reducing the body's sensitivity to stressors and promoting a more balanced response to stress. This helps to prevent the negative health effects associated with chronic stress while promoting overall health and well-being.

## Section 3: Examples of Adaptogens
Some common examples of adaptogens include:
- Ashwagandha
- Rhodiola rosea
- Ginseng
- Eleuthero
- Holy basil
- Schisandra
- Cordyceps
Each of these adaptogens has unique properties and benefits, but they all share the common goal of helping the body to better manage stress and maintain overall health.

## Section 4: Practical Examples
One practical example of how adaptogens can be used is in the case of someone who experiences high levels of stress at work. By taking an adaptogen supplement daily, this person may be able to reduce their feelings of anxiety and fatigue while improving their focus and productivity. Additionally, adaptogens can be used to support immune function and promote overall health, making them a valuable addition to any wellness routine.

## Section 5: Conclusion
Adaptogens are a powerful tool for managing stress and promoting overall health and well-being. By regulating the body's stress response and promoting balance, adaptogens can help to prevent the negative health effects associated with chronic stress while supporting immune function and improving quality of life. Whether you're looking to improve your mental clarity, boost your energy levels, or support your immune system, adaptogens are a natural and effective solution worth considering.

Q:

Why I can't set 2 CPU on virtualbox xp?

I set 2 CPU on virtualbox xp and boot successfully.

But when I use speccy to check.
It says I only have 1 cpu and only 1 core.

What happened?
How do I enable the second CPU?
Thank you~

A:

For Windows 64-bit guest and if you want to use more than 1 CPU in your guest we need to enable I/O APIC prior to installing Windows.

Enabling the I/O APIC is required  for 64-bit guest operating systems, especially Windows Vista; it is also required if you want to use more than one virtual CPU in a virtual machine.

Reference: Virtual Box User Manual
This can be done in the System -> Motherboard setting in the VirtualBox Manager.

Note: These setting has to be made before installing Windows as only then Windows will be installed with the appropriate kernel.

Enabling I/O APIC in VirtualBox is a simple process that can be done in the VirtualBox Manager. Here are the steps:

1. Open the VirtualBox Manager by clicking on the VirtualBox icon in the system tray (bottom right corner of your screen).

2. Select the virtual machine you want to enable multiple CPUs for.

3. Click on the "Settings" button.

4. In the Settings window, click on the "System" tab.

5. Under the "Motherboard" category, find the "Enable I/O APIC" option and select it.

6. Click on the "OK" button to save your changes.

Now that you have enabled I/O APIC, you can proceed to install your guest operating system.

### Section 3: Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues when enabling I/O APIC or allocating multiple CPUs to your virtual machine, here are some common solutions:

1. Make sure you have selected the correct version of the operating system when creating the virtual machine.

2. Check that your physical CPU supports virtualization.

3. Verify that your host operating system is up to date with the latest patches and updates.

4. Try disabling other hardware devices in the virtual machine to see if that resolves the issue.

5. If all else fails, try creating a new virtual machine and repeating the process.

### Glossary

- I/O APIC: Input/Output Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller
- CPU: Central Processing Unit
- VirtualBox: A powerful tool for creating and running virtual machines
- Guest operating system: The operating system running inside the virtual machine
- Host operating system: The operating system running on the physical computer

### Conclusion

In this lesson, we learned about I/O APIC and how to enable it in VirtualBox to use multiple CPUs in our virtual machines. We also covered some troubleshooting tips in case we encounter any issues. By following these steps, we can create powerful virtual machines that can run complex applications and operating systems.

Lesson: How to Choose the Best Disposable Camera

Introduction:
Disposable cameras are a fun and convenient way to capture memories without worrying about changing film rolls or batteries. However, with so many options available, choosing the right disposable camera can be overwhelming. In this lesson, we will learn how to choose the best disposable camera for your needs by comparing different features, such as film speed, flash, and waterproof capabilities.

Section 1: Understanding Disposable Cameras

Topic 1: What is a disposable camera?
A disposable camera is a type of camera that comes pre-loaded with film and can be used once before being discarded. They are designed for convenience and ease of use, making them popular for events like parties or family gatherings.

Topic 2: Types of disposable cameras
There are several types of disposable cameras available, including:
- Standard disposable cameras: These are the most common type of disposable camera and come with a fixed-focus lens and a fixed shutter speed.
- Waterproof disposable cameras: These cameras are designed to be used underwater and are sealed to prevent water damage.
- High-speed disposable cameras: These cameras have a faster film speed, allowing them to capture images in low-light conditions.
- Flash disposable cameras: These cameras have a built-in flash that can be used to take pictures in low-light conditions.

Section 2: Comparing Disposable Cameras

Topic 3: Film speed
Film speed refers to the sensitivity of the film to light. The lower the film speed, the less sensitive it is to light, which means it will require more light to take a clear picture. The higher the film speed, the more sensitive it is to light, which means it can take clear pictures even in low-light conditions.

Topic 4: Waterproof capabilities
Waterproof disposable cameras are designed to be used underwater and are sealed to prevent water damage. If you plan on using your disposable camera while swimming or snorkeling, then a waterproof camera is a must-have.

Topic 5: Flash capabilities
Flash disposable cameras have a built-in flash that can be used to take pictures in low-light conditions. If you plan on taking pictures indoors or at night, then a flash camera is a good option.

Section 3: Choosing the Right Disposable Camera

Topic 6: Consider your needs
Before choosing a disposable camera, consider what you will be using it for. If you plan on taking pictures outdoors during the day, then a standard disposable camera with a high film speed may be sufficient. However, if you plan on taking pictures indoors or at night, then a flash camera with a high film speed may be a better option.

Topic 7: Compare features
Once you have determined your needs, compare the features of different disposable cameras to find the one that best suits your needs. For example, if you need a waterproof camera, compare the waterproof capabilities of different models.

Conclusion:
Choosing the right disposable camera can be a daunting task, but by understanding the different features available and comparing them to your needs, you can find the perfect disposable camera for your next adventure. Remember to consider the film speed, flash capabilities, and waterproof capabilities when choosing a disposable camera. By following these guidelines, you can ensure that you get the best possible pictures, no matter where your adventures take you.

Impact of weight reduction on production of platelet-derived microparticles and fibrinolytic parameters in obesity.
Generation of platelet-derived microparticle (PMP) is implicated in cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, the influence of adiposity and weight reduction on PMP generation remains to be fully elucidated. We compared PMP generation and fibrinolytic parameters between 49 non-diabetic obese (obese group) and 37 age-matched non-obese subjects (control group), and compared the effects of weight reduction on the parameters between a 12-week calorie restricted diet and diet with aerobic exercise in obese subjects. PMP, plasma levels of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) activity and tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) antigen were measured before and after intervention. Before intervention, PMP, PAI-1 activity and t-PA antigen values were elevated in the obese group compared with the control group. In all 86 subjects of both groups, these three parameters correlated with body mass index, waist circumference and fat tissue mass. There was a positive correlation between plasma levels of fibrinolytic parameters and visceral fat area (VFA). PMP values correlated with subcutaneous fat area (SFA). The intervention significantly reduced PMP, PAI-1 activity and t-PA antigen levels. There was a significant correlation between percentages of changes in PMP values and those in BMI, fat tissue mass and VFA in the obese group. No additional effect of exercise on PMP or fibrinolytic parameters was observed. Overproduction of PMP and fibrinolytic abnormalities may be associated with excessive adipose tissue. Weight reduction by either calorie restriction with or without exercise improves fibrinolytic abnormalities and PMP overproduction, probably through reduction of adipose tissue.

South Florida's skyline is crammed with the telltale signs of a condominium bust.
A huge construction boom led to a condo market that peaked two years ago. Since then sales have stalled and prices have been in a freefall while the construction continues -- creating headaches for sellers but an unlikely opportunity for a handful of realtors who call themselves "Condo Vultures."
Real estate agent Peter Zalewski established his company early this year and named it for the buzzards that descend...Full Story

Lesson: Condo Bust in South Florida

**Introduction**

In this lesson, we will learn about the condo bust in South Florida and how it has affected the real estate market. We will explore the reasons behind the boom, the impact of the bust, and the opportunities that have arisen as a result.

**Section 1: The Condo Boom**

The condo boom in South Florida was caused by several factors. One of the main reasons was the influx of people moving to the area from other parts of the country. This led to a high demand for housing, which in turn drove up the price of condos. Additionally, low interest rates made it easier for people to buy homes, further fueling the boom.

**Section 2: The Condo Bust**

However, the condo boom did not last forever. Two years ago, sales started to slow down, and prices began to fall. This was due to several factors, including the end of the housing bubble, rising unemployment rates, and a general economic downturn. As a result, many people were unable to sell their condos, leading to a glut of unsold units on the market.

**Section 3: Opportunities for Real Estate Agents**

Despite the difficulties faced by condo sellers, there are some real estate agents who have found opportunities in the midst of the bust. These agents specialize in selling distressed properties, often at a discount, to investors who plan to fix them up and resell them. While this may not be the most lucrative business model, it has allowed some agents to stay afloat during the condo bust.

**Conclusion**

In conclusion, the condo bust in South Florida has had a significant impact on the real estate market. However, for those who are willing to adapt and find new opportunities, there is still money to be made. By understanding the causes of the boom and bust, as well as the current market conditions, real estate agents can position themselves to take advantage of any future opportunities that arise.

**Glossary**
- Boom: A period of rapid growth or increase in activity
- Bust: A sudden collapse or failure of something
- Glut: An excessive amount of something that is difficult to dispose of
- Distressed properties: Properties that are in poor condition or are difficult to sell

**Self-Debating Discussion**

Do you think the condo bust in South Florida is unique to that region, or are there similar trends happening in other areas? How can real estate agents adapt to changing market conditions and remain profitable?

Q:

Could dark matter be a kind of Goldstone boson?

The common argument for vanishing Goldstone boson is like, if there is some massless particle generated from the spontaneous symmetry breaking, it should be detected. Since we never saw that, it is not possible.
However, if there is some particle which has not been found, it could be (a) very heavy; (b) very weakly interacting. The Goldstone particle was rejected based on reason (a). Could (b) somehow be true? e.g. as a candidate of dark matter? Or since the Higgs mechanism was confirmed, this possibility (very weakly interacting) is already ruled out?

A:

A Goldstone boson is a generic type of particle formed when symmetries are spontaneously broken. If you want to suggest that dark matter is a Goldstone boson then that says very little unless you suggest a specific model with a symmetry to be broken.
When exact symmetries are broken you get a massless Goldstone boson (except in a few special circustances, E.g. in Gauge theory the extra mode gives mass to the gauge bosons instead of forming a Goldstone boson) Dark matter cannot be formed from massless particles since they would not be gravitationally bound to galaxies and we know that dark matter is. Massless particles would fly past on the same trajectories as photons in the microwave background.
If the broken symmetry is not perfect you get pseudo-Golstone bosons which are light on the scale of the model, but not massless. The pion is an example from flavour chiral symmetry breaking, but it is not stable. Any theory that predicted such a particle would predict other new particles that could just as easily be part of dark matter if they are stable. Without a specific proposal for such a theory not much has been said.
Note that it is actually very easy to dream up particle models of dark matter, e.g. you just need a new quantum number to explain stability. The difficulty is to find a theory that is well motivated from other considerations. e.g supersymmetry solves the hierarchy problem etc., axions solve the strong CP problem. However there is no clear reason why dark matter needs to solve other problems in this way. Until we can detect a signature for dark matter interactions it is going to be very hard to settle what it is.

Lesson: Introduction to Symmetry Breaking and Goldstone Bosons

### Section 1: What is Symmetry Breaking?
Symmetry breaking is a concept in physics that refers to the process where a system transitions from one state of equilibrium to another. This can happen when a force is applied to a system, causing it to change its shape or form. In the context of particle physics, symmetry breaking refers to the phenomenon where particles acquire mass by interacting with the Higgs field.

### Section 2: What are Goldstone Bosons?
Goldstone bosons are particles that are created when a system undergoes symmetry breaking. They are massless particles that arise as a result of the spontaneous breaking of a continuous symmetry. These particles are named after the physicist who first proposed their existence, Robert Goldstone.

### Section 3: Are Goldstone Bosons Related to Dark Matter?
Dark matter is a hypothetical form of matter that is thought to account for approximately 85% of the matter in the universe. It does not emit or absorb light, making it extremely difficult to detect. Some theories suggest that Goldstone bosons could be a candidate for dark matter, but this idea is still speculative and has not been proven.

### Section 4: Conclusion
In conclusion, while Goldstone bosons are interesting particles that arise from symmetry breaking, they are not yet proven to be related to dark matter. Further research is needed to determine the nature of dark matter and whether Goldstone bosons could play a role in our understanding of this mysterious substance.
