Introduction -- Setting the Stage: Key Concepts and Issues -- A Historical Review of Multilaterally Agreed Criteria for Action on Commodity Prices (1947–1989) -- From Market Intervention to Free Trade and Back to Managed Trade? (1989–2011) -- Beyond the Impasse: Towards a New Normative Approach -- Conclusion.

Sommario/riassunto

In Agriculture, Price Stabilisation and Trade Rules , Irene Musselli offers a comprehensive doctrinal and historical analysis of stabilisation tools and approaches in agriculture. Using her extensive practical experience in the field, she takes up the interface of the tools discussed with trade rules and offers the first comprehensive analysis of WTO rules from the perspective of stabilisation policies. This volume offers a fresh look at the tool box of managed trade in agricultural commodities and develops new and refined solutions that take into account the legal role of equity and of graduation. Musselli offers new insights and is able to invigorate a debate caught in overly ideological entanglements between market oriented and interventionist schools.

Characterization of Refractories -- Classification and features of different Refractory materials -- Manufacturing and properties of refractories -- Cement manufacturing and process control -- Selection of Refractories -- Refractory design, Installation and Maintenance -- Refractory performances and mechanism of damage -- Coating and burnability of clinker -- Heat transfer -- Quality and inspection.

Sommario/riassunto

This book provides process engineers with all of the information necessary for installation, maintenance and management of refractory in a cement industry. It describes how to characterize the refractory material and select refractories for various equipments in the cement plant. The author explains refractory installation, in general, and the rotary kiln specifically, as it is distinct from static furnaces used in metallurgical or process industries. It also details the chemical and



physical factors that influence refractory performance and has discussed the mechanism of degradation of refractories with special emphasis on thermo-chemical and thermo-mechanical aspects. The heat transfer calculation and energy loss from the equipment surfaces has been addressed. A chapter in the book is dedicated for the management of refractory quality and the installation quality at the site. Maximizes reader understanding of the operating conditions in different equipments and how those are related to selection of refractories; Details the process variables and their influences on the performance of the refractories; Elucidates subtle points of refractory installation to ensure optimal performance; Presents heat transfer calculations and quality management protocols of refractory installation. Reinforces the concepts with many illustrations and tables.
