Featured article () distributed by ArticleMonster.com 2006-02-08 Lubrizol Net Rises TheStreet.com - The specialty chemicals and lubricants company earned $32.1 million, or 46 cents a share, in the quarter, compared with $19.9 million, or 30 cents a share, a year ago. Excluding restructuring and impairment charges and discontinued operations, the company earned 51 cents a share in the latest quarter.. Analysts surveyed by Thomson First Call were expecting earnings of 49 cents a share. 2006-02-02 Fuels, Fuel Additives, and Lubricant Formulations Grant Community Dispatch (press release) - NOTE: This descriptive area provides an overview of this Funding Opportunity Area of Interest 2 ONLY. YOU MUST READ THE FUNDING OPPORTUNITY MASTER ANNOUNCEMENT FOR DETAILS ON ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, EVALUATION CRITERIA AND HOW TO PREPARE AN APPLICATION UNDER A SPECIFIC AREA OF INTEREST. Please scroll to the bottom of this page under the heading URL Links and click on the link to access the Funding Opportunity Master Announcement. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL), on behalf of the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energys (EERE) Office of FreedomCAR and Vehicle Technologies (OFCVT), is seeking applications for cost-shared projects supporting various programs within the OFCVT. Area of Interest 2: Fuels, Fuel Additives, and Lubricant Formulations (DE-PS26-06NT42718-02) Applications are sought proposing fuels-related R D projects addressing one or more of the following focus areas. If responding to more than one focus area, the applicant shall address the evaluation criteria separately for each focus area. (Note page limitation for additional focus areas. See Part IV.C.2, Project Narrative File.) Focus Area 1: Fuels for Advanced Combustion Regimes Fuel-focused research on the facilitation or enhancement of advanced combustion regime engine operation e.g., HCCI, LTC, etc. In the most general terms, the term advanced combustion regimes is intended to encompass clean and highly efficient, liquid-fueled combustion engines. Such engines may incorporate novel thermodynamic cycles, but should not simply involve regurgitation of existing concepts; should have extremely low engine-out NOx and PM as a target; and should have efficiency similar to state-of-the-art direct injection diesel engines (i.e., approximately 40% peak thermal efficiency for light duty and greater than 48% peak thermal efficiency for heavy duty). Focus Area 2: Direct Petroleum Displacement by Liquid Alternative Fuels for Engines in Transportation Research and development projects or evaluation activities related to renewable or alternative fuels that displace petroleum-derived fuels or that enable advanced combustion regime engines. Focus Area 3: Lubricant Formulations to Enhance Engine Efficiency Research and development projects on novel lubricant formulations expected to significantly improve the efficiency of engines or that otherwise enable the development and use of advanced combustion regime engines. Focus Area 4: Fuel Additives to Enhance Engine Efficiency Research and development projects on novel fuel additives expected to significantly improve the efficiency of engines or that otherwise enable the development and use of advanced combustion regime engines. This area of interest is for new or early developed concepts supporting and enabling Fuels for Advance Combustion Regimes, Direct Petroleum Displacement by Liquid Alternative Fuels for Compression-Ignition Engines, Lubricants Formulations to Enhance Engine Efficiency, and Fuel Additives to Enhance Engine Efficiency. Although large businesses are permitted to apply under this announcement, responses are encouraged from innovative companies that are interested in research, development, and testing of advanced fuel and lubricant technologies. The proposed funding opportunity will be for projects consisting of two phases of development. Phase I, lasting from between 6 to 12 months, will be for the proof-of-principle development of technology applicable to one or more of the topic areas listed below. Phase II, lasting between 18 to 24 months, will be for the scaled-up testing of the technology developed in Phase I at the appropriate laboratory, bench, pilot, or on-board scale of testing. Teaming arrangements under this area of interest are NOT required but are strongly encouraged. Participation of universities, small businesses, and DOE Laboratories is also encouraged (Reference Part III.C. for Federally Funded Research and Development Center [FFRDC] restrictions). The FFRDC contractor effort, in aggregate, shall not exceed 25% of the total estimated cost of the project, including the applicants and the FFRDC contractors portions of the effort. It is expected that two (2) to four (4) cooperative agreements will be awarded in this area of interest. It is estimated that a total of approximately $1,000,000 in DOE funds will be available to be divided among all the awards in this area of interest. The minimum Recipient cost share is 25% for Phase I and 50% for Phase II. (See Part III.B. COST SHARING.) APPLICATIONS MUST BE SUBMITTED THROUGH GRANTS.GOV TO BE CONSIDERED FOR AWARD. THERE ARE SEVERAL ONE-TIME ACTIONS YOU MUST COMPLETE IN ORDER TO SUBMIT AN APPLICATION THROUGH GRANTS.GOV. THIS PROCESS CAN TAKE UP TO 14 DAYS TO COMPLETE. IT IS SUGGESTED THAT ALL POTENTIAL APPLICANTS READ PAGE 2 OF THE FUNDING OPPORTUNITY MASTER ANNOUNEMENT BELOW FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON HOW TO BEGIN THE PROCESS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. Questions relating to the registration process, system requirements, how an application form works, or the submittal process must be directed to Grants.gov at 1-800-518-4726 or support@grants.gov. 2006-01-30 Rules amended to make food additives of international standard NewKerala.com, India - The government has also amended Rule six of the PFA Rules, which relates to qualification of Public Analyst working under the Act. At present, a person with a Masters Degree in Chemistry or Bio-Chemistry or Food Technology or Microbiology or Food and Drugs from a University established in India by law is considered for appointment as a Public Analyst. Now, MSc. Degree in Dairy Chemistry has also been included as one of the qualifications for appointment as a Public Analyst under PFA Rules, 1955. 2006-01-19 Gasoline Myths And Misconceptions: A Quiz To Fuel Your Knowledge CarJunky.com - 3. FICTION-While the stereotype of high-performance engines requiring premium gasoline is generally true, there are many exceptions. Different cars may require different levels of octane, which is the measurement of a gasoline's ability to resist engine knock-a rattling or pinging sound that results from uncontrolled combustion in the engine. Whether you drive a luxury sedan or an old truck, the right level of octane should help prevent engine knock and help ensure optimal performance. It may even help compensate for minor mechanical issues that are temporarily raising the octane requirement of an engine. To determine the appropriate octane level or grade of gasoline for your vehicle, be sure to check your owner's manual for the manufacturer's recommendation. 2006-01-19 Notification On Food Additives Issued Indlaw.com, India - The amendment is in respect of the use of Food Additives in different food products to harmonize the same with Codex Standards. The Additives covered in the notifiction are hydroxyrpopyl Methyl Cellulose in non-dairy whip topping and artificial sweetener Sucralose and Aspartame in various products, Glazing Agent and Polydextrose A and N in Chocolate as well as to give international numbering for Food Additives.
