TL;DR: In this article, the authors outline the development and scope of the subject in general terms, and survey particular applications of cost-benefit techniques, examining the uses made of them in a variety of fields.
Abstract: The order of discussion in this survey article will be as follows: in I we shall outline the development and scope of the subject in general terms; II will be concerned with general principles; in III we shall survey particular applications of cost-benefit techniques, examining the uses made of them in a variety of fields—water-supply projects, transport, land usage, health, education, research, etc. We shall proceed to a general summing up in IV, and conclude with a bibliography.

TL;DR: The reversibility of the reaction CaCO3 ⇌ CaO+CO2 has been examined through a large number of cycles (up to 40), mainly at 866 °C as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: The reversibility of the reaction CaCO3 ⇌ CaO+CO2 has been examined through a large number of cycles (up to 40), mainly at 866 °C. The decomposition to the oxide is always 100% but the reactivity of the oxide so formed to carbon dioxide falls off markedly after a rapid initial reaction. There is a large increase in surface area on going from the non-porous calcium carbonate to the oxide and this is due to the formation of pores, mostly very small (< 4 nm). The fast component of the back reaction is a surface reaction and the subsequent slow reaction is controlled by the slow diffusion of carbon dioxide through the newly formed carbonate layer. The reversibility of the reaction decreases with the number of cycles, rapidly at first and then more slowly: the first effect is probably due to loss of pore volume in the oxide and the second to sintering of the carbonate.

TL;DR: In this article, a study consisting of acoustic measurements at fourteen sites in the London area and 1200 interviews dealing with the effects of the noise conditions prevailing at each of these sites has been carried out with the object of developing acceptability criteria for traffic noise from roads in residential areas.

TL;DR: In this article, it has been shown that the reaction CaCO3 ⇄ CaO + CO2 can be made almost wholly reversible by using calcium carbonate powder of particle size ∼ 10 nm and therefore of high surface area.
Abstract: By using calcium carbonate powder of particle size ∼ 10 nm (and therefore of high surface area) it has been shown that the reaction CaCO3 ⇄ CaO + CO2 can be made almost wholly reversible. A reactivity of 93% was achieved, (i.e. 93% of the calcium oxide reacted with carbon dioxide) and this was maintained for 30 24-h decomposition-back reaction cycles at 629 °C with no detectable decrease. This material has an energy storage capacity of 200 Wh/lb, but only about 1 kWh/ft.3 When this calcium carbonate was pressed, however, to increase its bulk density (from 0.1 to ∼ 1 g/ml) there was a large decrease in its surface area and a smaller decrease in its reactivity on undergoing a few decomposition and back reaction cycles. Scaling up of the sample size from 20 mg to 10 g only had a small (× 3) effect on the rates of decomposition and back reaction.

TL;DR: In this article, the superplastic deformation of thin circular diaphragms subjected to onesided hydrostatic pressure is examined both theoretically and experimentally both for simple geometry (domes) and more complex shapes related to those encountered in practical forming operations.
