Badania Emisji Chlorowodoru I Związków Fluoru Podczas Spalania Odpadów Niebezpiecznych, Marian Mazur, Robert Oleniacz, Marek Bogacki Dec 1996

Badania Emisji Chlorowodoru I Związków Fluoru Podczas Spalania Odpadów Niebezpiecznych, Marian Mazur, Robert Oleniacz, Marek Bogacki

Robert Oleniacz

The paper presents the results of measurements of the concentration of hydrogen chloride (HCl) and fluoride compounds (as HF) in raw and purified combustion gases discharged from the incineration of selected hazardous wastes. The study included two installations operating on an industrial scale: a multiple hearth furnace and a rotary kiln incinerator equipped with a single wet flue gas cleaning systems. In the multiple hearth furnace was being incinerated sludge from coke industry. In the rotary kiln were being incinerated coal (coke) tars, contaminated cleaning rags, sawdust, used gloves, outdated pharmaceuticals and medicines, hospital waste, waste paints, varnish and lubricant, …


Emisja Zanieczyszczeń Ze Spalania Odpadów Farmaceutycznych I Poszpitalnych W Piecu Obrotowym, Robert Oleniacz, Marian Mazur, Marek Bogacki Dec 1996

Emisja Zanieczyszczeń Ze Spalania Odpadów Farmaceutycznych I Poszpitalnych W Piecu Obrotowym, Robert Oleniacz, Marian Mazur, Marek Bogacki

Robert Oleniacz

The work presents the problem of management and thermal treatment of medicines and hospital wastes and investigation results of incineration of these waste in the full-scale rotary kiln with wet gas cleaning equipment (alkaline scrubber). On the basis of measurements of air pollutant concentrations in combustion gases, maximum dose of these wastes in the feed to the kiln was specified in order to ensure a relatively low stack emissions using the hypothetical high-efficiency flue-gas treatment system.

English title: Pollutant emissions from incineration of pharmaceutical and hospital waste in a rotary kiln.


The Rna-Binding Site Of Bacteriophage Qβ Coat Protein, Francis Lim, Marc Spingola, David S. Peabody Dec 1996

The Rna-Binding Site Of Bacteriophage Qβ Coat Protein, Francis Lim, Marc Spingola, David S. Peabody

Marc Spingola

The coat proteins of the RNA bacteriophages Qβ and MS2 are specific RNA binding proteins. Although they possess common tertiary structures, they bind different RNA stem loops and thus provide useful models of specific protein-RNA recognition. Although the RNA-binding site of MS2 coat protein has been extensively characterized previously, little is known about Qβ. Here we describe the isolation of mutants that define the RNA-binding site of Qβ coat protein, showing that, as with MS2, it resides on the surface of a large β-sheet. Mutations are also described that convert Qβ coat protein to the RNA binding specificity of MS2. …

Eating Disturbance And Body Image: A Comparison Of A Community Sample Of Adult Black And White Women, Denise E. Wilfley, George B. Schreiber, Kathleen M. Pike, Ruth H. Striegel-Moore, David J. Wright, Judith Rodin Nov 1996

Eating Disturbance And Body Image: A Comparison Of A Community Sample Of Adult Black And White Women, Denise E. Wilfley, George B. Schreiber, Kathleen M. Pike, Ruth H. Striegel-Moore, David J. Wright, Judith Rodin

Ruth Striegel Weissman

This study examined racial differences in eating disorder symptomatology in a community-based sample of middle-aged adult Black and White women and investigated predictors of body image dissatisfaction in these two different racial groups, since most research has focused on young adult White women. Black and White women reported comparable levels of eating disturbance. However, after controlling for degree of overweight, White women had significantly greater rates of body dissatisfaction than Black women. Nonetheless, both racial groups reported considerable body image dissatisfaction and similar factors were found to predict body dissatisfaction for Black and White women. Our data and other recent …

The Use Of Interactive Focus Groups To Aid In The Identification Of Perceived Service And Support Delivery Needs Of Persons With Developmental Disabilities And Their Families, John J. Wheeler Nov 1996

The Use Of Interactive Focus Groups To Aid In The Identification Of Perceived Service And Support Delivery Needs Of Persons With Developmental Disabilities And Their Families, John J. Wheeler

John J. Wheeler

A growing area of concern in the field of developmental disabilities is how to deliver and evaluate quality services and supports to persons with developmental disabilities and their families. This has been termed quality assurance. Quality assurance has been defined as a process which involves the identification and articulation of certain values and beliefs which serve as a foundation for the delivery of services and supports (Sundram, 1993). The quality assurance process is aimed at how services and supports to individuals with developmental disabilities and their families are delivered and evaluated. A critical component of this process is the partnership …

Third Party Rights In Criminal Forfeiture Cases, Stefan D. Cassella Oct 1996

Third Party Rights In Criminal Forfeiture Cases, Stefan D. Cassella

Stefan D Cassella

This article discusses the statutory procedures and the case law regarding the adjudication of the rights of third parties in property that a defendant has been ordered to forfeit in a criminal case. In particular, it discusses the ancillary proceeding governed by 21 U.S.C. 853(n) in detail. The case law references are now outdated and have been superceded by the discussion in Chapter 24 of the author's treatise, Asset Forfeiture Law in the United States. Nevertheless the article provides a good introduction to the topic.


State Feedback Control Of Electrorheological Fluids.Pdf, Jeffrey Hargrove, John R. Lloyd, Ruth M. Andersland, Clark J. Radcliffe Oct 1996

State Feedback Control Of Electrorheological Fluids.Pdf, Jeffrey Hargrove, John R. Lloyd, Ruth M. Andersland, Clark J. Radcliffe

Jeffrey Hargrove

Electrorheological (ER) fluids have electrically controllable stiffness, viscosity, and heat transfer properties. Since the 1940s researchers have attempted to model the properties of ER fluids and have proposed applications which attempt to utilize their special characteristics in the operation of hydraulic valves, soft clutches, and active suspension systems. Early attempts to make these applications commercially successful were hampered by the relatively slow, nonlinear response of ER fluids under on-off control of high electric fields. Successful applications will require fast, precise control of the response of ER fluids, independent of application at low field strengths. This study presents a new approach …

Taxonomic Status Of The Enigmatic Cryptotis Avia (Mammalia: Insectivora: Soricidae), With Comments On The Distribution Of The Colombian Small-Eared Shrew, Cryptotis Colombiana, Neal Woodman Oct 1996

Taxonomic Status Of The Enigmatic Cryptotis Avia (Mammalia: Insectivora: Soricidae), With Comments On The Distribution Of The Colombian Small-Eared Shrew, Cryptotis Colombiana, Neal Woodman

Neal Woodman

Cryptotis avia G. M. Allen 1823, from the Eastern Andean Cordillera of Colombia, is a small-eared shrew previously known from, at most, five specimens. Review of the holotype, consisting of an understuffed skin and a partial skull, and three potential topotypes indicates that they are refereable to Cryptotis thomasi Merriam, 1897, and C. avia should be considered ajunior synonym of that name. Cryptotis thomasi is restricted to highlands around Bogotá in the Eastern Cordillera. Another specimen previously referred to C. avia is the second known specimen of Cryptotis colombiana Woodman & Timm 1993. This second record expands the known distribution …

Economic Development And The Distribution Of Land Rents In Singapore: A Georgist Implementation, Sock-Yong Phang Sep 1996

Economic Development And The Distribution Of Land Rents In Singapore: A Georgist Implementation, Sock-Yong Phang

PHANG Sock Yong

Independent Singapore, which has a tradition of free trade, has implemented large doses of Henry George's prescriptions. It has successfully captured land rents for redistribution through its land acquisition, public housing and other programs. These policies have been instrumental in the successful economic development of the island city state. Industrial estates on state-owned land were leased to foreign multinationals for export-oriented manufacturing which created the bulk of jobs in the sector. Commercial developments are built by the program. Affordable 99-year leasehold housing, built by the state, provided added economic incentives for employment, and helped keep inflation and wages down. Private …


Hospitals: The Hidden Research System, Diana Hicks, Sylvan Katz Sep 1996

Hospitals: The Hidden Research System, Diana Hicks, Sylvan Katz

Diana Hicks

Using co-authored scientific papers as indicators of research collaboration the pattern of research linkages in the UK during the 1980s is analysed. All sectors collaborate with each other at a rate proportional to publishing size to a first approximation. However, there are deviations from this pattern. Analyzing these deviations, two groups of sectors are found that collaborate with each other more than expected: the GIPU group composed of government, industry, polytechnics and universities, and the HSNR group composed of hospitals, special health authorities (SHAs), non-profit organisations and research councils. This suggests that a biomedical innovation system co-exists with the more …

Organizations: New Directions For Development Communication, Chukwuka Onwumechili Aug 1996

Organizations: New Directions For Development Communication, Chukwuka Onwumechili

Chukwuka Onwumechili

This paper makes a case for the study of organizational communication as essential to development communication. It briefly traces the history of development communication and how mass media became synonymous with development communi- cation. The assumptions underlying mass media's pre-emi- nence is revisited in order to make a case for organizational com- munication in an African environment. In the later sections, it describes a model for the study of development systems and organizational communication components.

Additional Evidence On The Cognitive Effects Of College Racial Composition: A Research Note., Ernest T. Pascarella, Marcia Edison, Amaury Nora, Linda Serra Hagedorn, Patrick Terenzini

Linda Serra Hagedorn

The relative cognitive impacts on Black students' attendance at historically Black versus predominantly White colleges were investigated. Controlling for individual precollege ability, average precollege ability of the students attending each institution, gender, socio-economic origins, academic motivation, age, credit hours taken, work responsibilities, place of residence, and types of coursework taken, Black students attending the 2 Black colleges did as well or better than their counterparts at the 16 predominantly White institutions on standardized measures of writing skills and science reasoning administered at the end of the second year of college.


Emergence And Overwintering Brood Of Douglas-Fir Beetle Seven Years After The Clover Mist Fire On The Clarks Fork Ranger District, Shoshone National Forest, Wyoming, Judith E. Pasek Aug 1996

Emergence And Overwintering Brood Of Douglas-Fir Beetle Seven Years After The Clover Mist Fire On The Clarks Fork Ranger District, Shoshone National Forest, Wyoming, Judith E. Pasek

Judith E Pasek

Emergence patterns and population levels of Douglas-fir beetles (DFB), Dendroctonus pseudotsugae Hopkins, in the seventh year of infestation following the Clover Mist Fire were evaluated on the Clarks Fork Ranger District of the Shoshone National Forest. Adult emergence in 1995 returned to a single peak beginning in mid-June, about a week later than normal likely due to cold, wet spring weather. Adults of both the '93-'94 and '94-'95 generations emerged, demonstrating for the second year in a row that DFB can extend its life cycle up to two years. Almost half of the total emergence of the '93-'94 generation was …

Household Responses To Pricing Garbage By The Bag, Don Fullerton, Thomas C. Kinnaman Aug 1996

Household Responses To Pricing Garbage By The Bag, Don Fullerton, Thomas C. Kinnaman

Don Fullerton

This paper employs individual household data to estimate the effect of per-unit pricing on the weight of garbage, the number of containers, the weight per can, and the amount of recycling. We also provide two indirect measures of illegal dumping. The data are based on a natural experiment that provides a unique opportunity to study human behavior in response to a change in price. On July 1, 1992, the City of Charlottesville, Virginia, implemented a program to charge $0.80 per 32-gallon bag or can of residential garbage collected at the curb. Before and after the implementation of this program, we …

3. The Relevance Ratio: Evaluating The Probative Value Of Expert Testimony In Child Sexual Abuse Cases., Thomas D. Lyon, Jonathan J. Koehler

Thomas D. Lyon

It is hard to overstate the importance of expert testimony in American courtrooms. Much of this testimony concerns scientific matters that are beyond the ken of ordinary experience.  In cases where scientific matters play a central role, jurors may give substantial weight to expert testimony or even treat it as dispositive.  Standards pertaining to the admissibility of scientific testimony are critical to the outcome in many trials.
