NOTES ON THE FINANCIAL TIMES–ACTUARIES EQUITY SHARE INDICES IN 1989 BY J. C. H. BRUMWELL, M.A., F.I.A. ABSTRACT The process of updating company classificationscontinued. Seventy Index constituents were replaced during 1989,mostly as a result of takeovers, not quite a record. Only 46 replaced them, reflecting the difficulty in finding suitable new non-industrial constituents. The Mining Finance group was discontinued, but Engineering–Aerospaceand Water were introduced. Shipping & Transport was renamed Transport. KEYWORDS FT Actuaries Index; Ordinary Shares; London Market 1. Classification of Stock Exchange Securities by Industry The original classifications were set out in the 1970 note in this series (J.I.A. 97, 111–12). Subsequent amendments were set out in the notes for 1971–74, 1977, 1979–80 and 1983–88 (J.I.A. 97, 403; 99, 89; 100, 109; 101,199; 105, 85; 107, 81; 108, 85; 111, 203; 112, 87; 113, 173; 114, 143; 115, 333 and 116, 179). On 1 July 1989, a new category No. 21 (Aerospace) was introduced and 12 companies were reclassified in it from, with one exception, category No. 27 (Miscellaneous Mechanical Engineering). At the end of 1989, category No. 78 (Foreign Banks) was discontinued. All companies so classified joined category No. 77 (Banks), and the definition of the latter category was expanded additionally to include that of the former. The name of category No. 85, ‘Merchant Banks’, was simplified by dropping the words ‘and Issuing Houses’. Minor amendments were also made to the definitions of five categories during 1989. As a result of the quarterly meetings of the Classification Sub-Committee of the Joint Investment and Index Committee, the classifications of 56 companies were altered. -

The hydropower generating potential of Nepal is calculated as one of the highest in the world but only about 12 percent of the population is connected to the national electricity grid. The percapita energy consumption is one of the lowest in the world and more than 90 percent of the energy use is in the domestic sector, mainly for cooking. Nepal's agrarian economy is fully dependent on imports for all of its chemical fertilizer, petroleum and coal requirements. The growing population and small scale industries are pushing the use of traditional sources of energy (forest and agricultural waste) beyond the sustainable generation capacity of the existing forest and farm lands. -
Why the Development of Internal Combustion Engines Is Still Necessary to Fight Against Global Climate Change from the Perspective of Transportation
applied sciences Editorial Why the Development of Internal Combustion Engines Is Still Necessary to Fight against Global Climate Change from the Perspective of Transportation José Ramón Serrano * , Ricardo Novella and Pedro Piqueras CMT—Motores Térmicos, Universitat Politècnica de València, 46022 València, Spain; [email protected] (R.N.); [email protected] (P.P.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 26 September 2019; Accepted: 4 October 2019; Published: 29 October 2019 Internal combustion engines (ICE) are the main propulsion systems in road transport. In mid-2017, Serrano [1] referred to the impossibility of replacing them as the power plant in most vehicles. Nowadays, this statement is true even when considering the best growth scenario for all-electric and hybrid vehicles. The arguments supporting this position consider the growing demand for transport, the strong development of cleaner and more efficient ICEs [2,3], the availability of fossil fuels, and the high energy density of said conventional fuels. Overall, there seems to be strong arguments to support the medium-long-term viability of ICEs as the predominant power plant for road transport applications. However, the situation has changed dramatically in the last few years. The media and other market players are claiming the death of ICEs in the mid-term [4]. Politicians from several G7 countries, such as France, Spain, and the United Kingdom, have announced the prohibition of ICEs in their markets [5], in some cases, as early as 2040. Large cities, such London, Paris, Madrid, and Berlin, are also considering severe limits to ICE-powered vehicles. What is the analysis that can be made from this new situation? 1. -

Piotrowo 3, 60-965 Poznań, email: [email protected] Abstract The article presents the conditions for the use of ethyl alcohol as a component and a sole fuel for internal combustion engines. Methods of ethanol production, its properties and the benefits and risks associated with using it as engine fuel have been described. The variants of commercial ethanol fuels allowed by law have also been presented. Ecological aspects of the use of ethanol fuels for modern internal combustion engines were presented. The opinion was expressed that although ethanol is used in bulk as a component of gasolines, its use as a self-contained fuel is and probably will continue to be small in the near future. Keywords: ethyl alcohol, combustion engines, motor fuels ALKOHOL ETYLOWY JAKO PALIWO DO WSPÓŁCZESNYCH SILNIKÓW SPALINOWYCH Streszczenie W artykule przedstawiono uwarunkowania stosowania alkoholu etylowego jako składnika oraz samodzielnego paliwa do silników spalinowych. Opisano metody produkcji etanolu, jego właściwości oraz korzyści i zagrożenia związane ze stosowaniem go jako paliwa silnikowego. Zaprezentowano dopuszczalne prawem warianty handlowych paliw etanolowych. Przedstawiono ekologiczne aspekty stosowania paliw etanolowych do współczesnych silników spalinowych. Wyrażono opinię, iż mimo, że etanol stosowany jest masowo jako komponent benzyn silnikowych, to jego zastosowanie jako samodzielnego paliwa jest i prawdopodobnie w najbliższej przyszłości będzie niewielkie. -

Sustainable Energy – Without the Hot Air
Sustainable Energy – without the hot air David J.C. MacKay Draft 2.9.0 – August 28, 2008 Department of Physics University of Cambridge http://www.withouthotair.com/ ii Back-cover blurb Sustainable energy — without the hot air Category: Science. How can we replace fossil fuels? How can we ensure security of energy supply? How can we solve climate change? We’re often told that “huge amounts of renewable power are available” – wind, wave, tide, and so forth. But our current power consumption is also huge! To understand our sustainable energy crisis, we need to know how the one “huge” compares with the other. We need numbers, not adjectives. In this book, David MacKay, Professor in Physics at Cambridge Univer- sity, shows how to estimate the numbers, and what those numbers depend on. As a case study, the presentation focuses on the United Kingdom, ask- ing first “could Britain live on sustainable energy resources alone?” and second “how can Britain make a realistic post-fossil-fuel energy plan that The author, July 2008. adds up?” Photo by David Stern. These numbers bring home the size of the changes that society must undergo if sustainable living is to be achieved. Don’t be afraid of this book’s emphasis on numbers. It’s all basic stuff, accessible to high school students, policy-makers and the thinking pub- lic. To have a meaningful discussion about sustainable energy, we need numbers. This is Draft 2.9.0 (August 28, 2008). You are looking at the low- resolution edition (i.e., some images are low-resolution to save bandwidth).
