There has recently been a revival of interest in theories of liquid mixtures based on analytic equations of state for pure fluids. We have shown that the method used to determine the parameters of the pure-liquid equation of state has a significant effect on the excess thermodynamic properties obtained from such theories.

Abstract A growing concern about the environment, and especially about waste and landfill, has spurred research into the design of more environmentally benign products. A dramatic reduction in environmental impact can be made by recycling. A critical issue in recycling is the separation of joints in the disassembly process. In product recycling (also referred to as reuse) non-destructive disassembly is desired, whereas in material recycling destructive disassembly is allowed (e.g., shredding). This has an impact on the selection of fasteners. In this paper, we provide an overview of the issues involved and specifically we evaluate the selection of fasteners in the context of product recycling, material recycling, and technical aspects as documented in the new German standard VDI 2243, “Designing Technical Products for Ease of Recycling – Fundamentals and Rules for Design”. The results of this evaluation provide insight in future areas of research and fastener selection models for life cycle design.

The key premise of economics, which views people as utilitarian individuals who make completely rational economic decisions, has influenced other disciplines as Strategy. However, the developments in behavioural neuroscience have opened a major understanding of the mental processes that explain managers's behaviour and effectiveness.This article presents a review of the contributions from behavioural neuroscience to the study of managerial decision-making and offers a critical evaluation of its implications for management and organization studies, especially in the field of strategy. The paper reviews the most recent literature on neurostrategy and maps out the main strands of the debate and their implications for understanding the behaviour of strategy-makers. The study of neuronal and psicological foundations for strategy-makers behaviours and decision-making has identified the problems of the general model of the rational problem-solving process in information, perception, and selection of strategies, and how behavioural strategy can help us to identify them and prevent them.

Abstract Background The Variable Indicative of Placement risk (VIP) is a tool that was developed in Belgium to identify older people at risk of adverse health outcomes at the time of hospital admission (Vandewoude et al 2008). VIP is a simple 3-item screening tool for the selection of hospitalized patients aged 70 and older who are at increased risk of problems at discharge. It asks three simple questions about frailty factors already existing before admission. This tool has been validated to select patients who would benefit from a geriatric assessment (Vandewoude et al 2008). As part of the implementation process, it is important to critically review VIP as a frailty screening and selection tool for the Frailty Intervention Therapy Team (FITT) service compared to age criteria alone. There is a risk that patients screening negative on VIP could be inappropriately excluded from the FITT review. Methods All patients over 75 were screened using the VIP tool over a 6 week period by nursing staff in triage The “Think Frail” tool was also used to screen all patients reviewed by FITT- both positive & negative VIP Data was retrospectively gathered and VIP positive/negative patients reviewed by FITT were analysed Results 55% were VIP positive 45% were VIP negative 16.5% of VIP negative patients were screened positive for frailty using the “Think Frail” tool We found VIP under-recognised patients presenting with reduced mobility (5.5%, n=20), acute confusion (2.7%, n=10) and polypharmacy (8.1%, n=29), all potentially modifiable frailty Conclusion The VIP tool is not sensitive to identifying the presence of pre-frailty markers including falls, polypharmacy and acute confusion. Further research is needed into the use of the VIP tool in Ireland. It is recommended that this tool is not used independently to identify frailty in the ED.
