The Effect of It Process Support, Process Visualization and Process Characteristics on Process Outcomes

Description: Business process re-engineering (part of the Business Process Management domain) is among the top three concerns of Information Technology (IT) leaders and is deemed to be one of many important IT leveraging opportunities. Two major challenges have been identified in relation to BPM and the use of IT. The first challenge is related to involving business process participants in process improvement initiatives using BPM systems. BPM technologies are considered to be primarily targeted for develop… more

Coal gasification. Quarterly report, October-December 1978

Description: DOE's program for the conversion of coal to gaseous fuels was started by two of its predecessor agencies: the Office of Coal Research (OCR) and ERDA. The US Bureau of Mines, Department of Interior, had previously done research in the 1930's. Both high- and low-Btu gasification processes are being developed. High-Btu gas can be distributed economically to consumers in the same pipeline systems now used to carry natural gas. Low-Btu gas, the cheapest of the gaseous fuels produced from coal, can b… more

Coal gasification. Quarterly report, July-September 1978

Description: To develop the most suitable techniques for gasifying coal, DOE, together with the American Gas Association, is sponsoring the development of several advanced conversion processes. Although the basic coal-gasification chemical reactions are the same for each process, each of the processes under development has unique characteristics. There are, for example, important differences in reactor configurations and in methods of supplying heat for gasification. Moreover, because these processes requir… more

Alternative process schemes for coal conversion. Progress report No. 4, September 1, 1979-March 30, 1980

Description: This progress report is divided into two parts. In Part A, the results of the first three progress reports which dealt with the separation of H/sub 2//CH/sub 4/ and H/sub 2//CH/sub 4//CO mixtures resulting from coal gasification processes are briefly summarized. The separation calculations were performed for ideal, cryogenic, clathrate (gas-hydrate), and absorption/stripping separation processes. The cryogenic separation indicates the least energy requirement. Work on this phase of the program … more

Coal liquefaction process research process survey: R and D interim report No. 2. Data source book. [32 promising processes]

Description: This interim report provides a Data Source Book for the coal liquefaction processes surveyed. A subsequent report will evaluate in detail processes selected from those surveyed and judged to have high commercal potential. At the start of this survey a list of over 60 contending processes was compiled. Of these, 32 were judged worthy of detailed investigation within the limits of time and resources available. Processes were deleted for various reasons: some appeared too similar to warrant separa… more

Points of Order in the Congressional Budget Process

Description: The Congressional Budget Act of 1974 (Titles I-IX of P.L. 93-344, as amended) created a process that Congress uses each year to establish and enforce the parameters for budgetary legislation. Enforcement is accomplished through the use of points of order, and through the reconciliation process. Points of order are prohibitions against certain types of legislation or congressional actions. These prohibitions are enforced when a Member raises a point of order against legislation that may violate … more

Validation of the materials-process-product model (coal SNG). [Estimating method for comparing processes, changing assumptions and technology assessment]

Description: The use of coal as a source of high Btu gas is currently viewed as one possible means of supplementing dwindling natural gas supplies. While certain coal gasification processes have demonstrated technical feasibility, much uncertainty and inconsistency remains regarding the capital and operating costs of large scale coal conversion facilities; cost estimates may vary by as much as 50%. Studies conducted for the American Gas Association (AGA) and US Energy Research and Development Administration… more

Baselines and Scorekeeping in the Federal Budget Process

Description: Baselines and scorekeeping are an integral part of the federal budget process, providing lawmakers with a framework for making and enforcing budgetary decisions. The baseline serves as a benchmark for federal budget decisions. Scorekeeping is the process by which the budgetary impact of proposed and enacted budget policies is measured; it assists Congress in making and enforcing budgetary decisions. This report provides a brief explanation of baselines and scorekeeping and their uses in the fed… more
