Lead Exposure And Physiological Enzymes Among Industrial Versus Non-Industrial Workers In Al-Ain, United Arab Emirates., Fatima Rashid Mattar Said Al-Neamy
Theses
Lead, which is considered to be as a toxic metal without any useful physiological or biochemical function in human body was widely used since the evolution of the industrialized era as a chemical part of much machinery and commodities. Lead containing gasoline, lead paints, lead-soldered cans, lead-glazed earthenware and tobacco are examples of sources of lead. Therefore, lead continues to be a significant public health concern globally.
Nowadays it is particularly impossible to find a person with blood lead level lower than 0.48μmol/L (100 μg/ dL) especially in city areas. Changes in neurobehavioral, cardiovascular, hematological, and renal functions are found …
A Qualitative Study Of Technology Transfer In Sustainable Green Manufacturing, Susan Muldowney
A Qualitative Study Of Technology Transfer In Sustainable Green Manufacturing, Susan Muldowney
Theses
The Sustainable Green Manufacturing Project is an initiative of the United States Army to develop environmentally-friendly technologies for Army-designated facilities. In pursuit of this goal, the Army has sought the research capabilities and expertise of outside organizations including the New Jersey Institute of Technology and Concurrent Technologies Corporation. The groups interact and exchange knowledge and tools with each other as well as with potential end users of the green technology. This exchange of knowledge and tools is known as technology transfer.
Researchers and Subject Matter Experts who are working on the SGM Project were interviewed in order to learn about …
To Who Or What Do We Owe Sustainable Development? A Search For An Ethical Framework For Sustainable Development, Mia Soderlund
To Who Or What Do We Owe Sustainable Development? A Search For An Ethical Framework For Sustainable Development, Mia Soderlund
Theses
This thesis focuses on the ethical dimension of sustainable development as described in the Bruntland report. According to this report, we do have certain moral obligations to future generations. This thesis asks whether traditional moral philosophy, such as utilitarian and contractarian theories, can justify moral obligations to future generations, and if they can serve as ethical frameworks for sustainable development.
The basic idea with sustainable development is to create a balance between society, the environment and the economy. If the environment is ascribed instrumental value, which is the case with traditional moral philosophy then there is no balance, because its …
A Comparison Of Field-Delineated Wetlands To The New Jersey Freshwater Wetland Maps, David P. Moskowitz
A Comparison Of Field-Delineated Wetlands To The New Jersey Freshwater Wetland Maps, David P. Moskowitz
Theses
A comparison of the New Jersey Freshwater Wetland maps to field-delineated wetlands was undertaken to assess the accuracy of the Freshwater Wetland maps. The evaluation revealed substantial differences in the amount of wetland acreage on the Freshwater Wetland maps compared to field-verified wetlands. Forty study sites comprising 21,877 acres (8,854h) were evaluated. Of these, twenty-seven were overmapped (more wetland acreage than was field-verified), and thirteen were undermapped. Forty-three percent had mapping discrepancies at or above fifty percent; when modified land designations were included as wetlands, the number of sites at this threshold increased to fifty percent.

A Study Of Platinum, Palladium, Bismuth, Copper, And Silver For The Potentiometric Determination Of Chlorine, Maria A. Gottwald
A Study Of Platinum, Palladium, Bismuth, Copper, And Silver For The Potentiometric Determination Of Chlorine, Maria A. Gottwald
Theses
This research was undertaken to determine which metals would be suitable to be used as electrodes for the determination of the concentration of chlorine in aqueous solutions at various pH levels. Platinum, palladium, bismuth, copper and silver electrodes were constructed and tested to determine their applicability for measuring the concentration of chlorine in drinking water, waste water treatment plant effluent, and swimming pools. Buffer solutions were used which varied in pH from 7 to 8, and in cHorine concentration from 0 to 10 ppm. In addition, the potential variation over time was observed for each electrode in the solutions.
Platinum, …
