Geochemical Assessment To Support Evaluation Of Remedy Options At Ccr Units, Jim Finley, Paul Thomas, John Griggs May 2024

Geochemical Assessment To Support Evaluation Of Remedy Options At Ccr Units, Jim Finley, Paul Thomas, John Griggs

World of Coal Ash Proceedings

Developing closure and groundwater remedy strategies for CCR facilities requires broad investigation into material properties, hydrology, surface and groundwater quality, human and ecological risk among others. The inorganic constituents commonly associated with CCR materials are also chemically reactive with minerals contained in underlying unconsolidated materials. Essential information about the geochemical properties of unconsolidated material includes identification of reactive mineralogy, the distribution of Appendix IV constituents among mineral fractions through selective extraction, and quantification of the cation exchange capacity of clays. Results of geochemical assessment are incorporated in geochemical models used to predict response of the groundwater system to various remedies. …

Local Geometry Of Elementary Visual Computations, Peter Neri May 2024

Local Geometry Of Elementary Visual Computations, Peter Neri

MODVIS Workshop

Visual operators (e.g. edge detectors) are classically modelled using small circuits involving canonical computations, such as template-matching and gain control. Circuit models explain many aspects of the empirical descriptors that are used to characterize local visual operators, from sensitivity to classification images. Notwithstanding their utility, these models fail to provide a unified framework encompassing the variety of effects observed experimentally, such as the impact of contrast, SNR, and attention on the above descriptors. My goal is to start with a simple, plausible geometrical representation of the perceptual operation carried out by the observer, and to show that this representation is …

Paper_Long-Term Conductivity Studies Of Low Permeability Concrete Containing Fly Ash, Neal Berke, Ali Inceefe, Kyle Stanish May 2024

Paper_Long-Term Conductivity Studies Of Low Permeability Concrete Containing Fly Ash, Neal Berke, Ali Inceefe, Kyle Stanish

World of Coal Ash Proceedings

Durability design and service life modeling are increasingly used to demonstrate that concrete structures have a long service life, resisting corrosion. Fly ash is an important mixture component used in the concrete mixture to reduce the permeability of the concrete with time. In service life modeling, there are two ways that the inclusion of fly ash can increase the predicted life – the rate of permeability reduction with time, and the length of time that permeability decreases. The results of a long-term study of concrete conductivity (which is related to permeability) of various low-permeability concrete mixtures designed for use in …

Navigating Through Geochemical Modeling Uncertainties Related To Site Management And Cleanup Decisions, Scott Hensel May 2024

Navigating Through Geochemical Modeling Uncertainties Related To Site Management And Cleanup Decisions, Scott Hensel

World of Coal Ash Proceedings

Navigating through Geochemical Modeling Uncertainties Related to Site Management and Cleanup Decisions Authors Mr. Scott Hensel - United States - Haley & Aldrich Inc. Abstract Geochemical modeling is a common and often essential approach used to understand the fate and transport of many inorganic constituents found at CCR sites. Uncertainties associated with key geochemical parameters may considerably influence the prediction of the fate of a CCR constituent. Because of regulation requirements, many CCR sites are in the process of selecting final remedies, which are often based on geochemical modeling results. Typically, thermodynamic databases downloaded with the program are used to …

Paper_Design, Cqa, And Legacy Rule Considerations For A Multi-Phased Ccp Unit Closure, Brendan Purcell, Brittany Bradley, Jason Obermeyer

World of Coal Ash Proceedings

This paper presents the case history of an interesting closure certification project at a coal combustion product (CCP) landfill that was progressively closed over a period of more than 30 years as CCPs reached final grades. While progressive closure is recognized as a good management practice, the evolution of an increasingly stringent web of state and federal regulations and construction quality assurance (CQA) requirements over the intervening 30 years necessitated retroactive demonstrations to verify compliance with present-day closure requirements. Additionally, earlier-than anticipated plant retirement meant that open areas of the landfill had not yet reached design grades, leaving low areas …


What Is Active Learning? Perspectives From Five Stem Professors’ Teaching Practices In Their Classrooms May 2024

What Is Active Learning? Perspectives From Five Stem Professors’ Teaching Practices In Their Classrooms

The Compass

This senior thesis investigated what ways, if any, STEM professors incorporated active learning pedagogy in their undergraduate classrooms at a small private university in the Northeast United States. STEM pedagogy was investigated because of the increasing popularity of active learning methods in the classroom compared to the didactic type of teaching that was prominent in the past.1 A qualitative case study of five STEM professors was conducted, involving the collection of data from biographical questions, an hourlong interview, and analysis of a document provided by a professor. This document could have been a lesson plan, an assignment, or an activity …


Inaction And Executive Power As Policy Decisions: The Reagan Presidency And Its Response To The Aids Crisis, 1981-1989 May 2024

Inaction And Executive Power As Policy Decisions: The Reagan Presidency And Its Response To The Aids Crisis, 1981-1989

The Compass

Federal level responses to major public health crises are dictated almost entirely by the adherence of individual presidential administrations to different modalities of Federalism. This project examines the ways in which the Reagan administration utilized different modes of presidential power and authority to respond to the outbreak of HIV/AIDS in the 1980s. While much is known about the impact of HIV/AIDS on men who have sex with men (MSM), the larger queer community, and the overall response of the Reagan Administration to the HIV/AIDS epidemic, less is known about the specific way in which Reagan and his administration used executive …


An Analysis Of Monstrosity In “The Little Mermaid” With Respect To Christian Theology And Western Ideology May 2024

An Analysis Of Monstrosity In “The Little Mermaid” With Respect To Christian Theology And Western Ideology

The Compass

The Little Mermaid is a story of monsters – or, at the very least, it is a story full of creatures that many might construe as monstrous in the Western understanding. Oftentimes, monsters are described as being outside of what is deemed as normal. This distinction “others” the creatures in a way that is evidently non-human, and in this inhumanity, they become lesser beings. Society paints these supposed monsters with perceived deformities, disabilities, or otherings – contrivances that we don’t recognize or understand, and thus become fearful of.1 In the case of Hans Christian Andersen’s land under the sea, we …


European House Cricket (Acheta Domesticus) Behavorial Decision Making And Resource Prioritization May 2024

European House Cricket (Acheta Domesticus) Behavorial Decision Making And Resource Prioritization

The Compass

This study investigates the olfactory decision-making of the Acheta domesticus (European house cricket), specifically focusing on resource prioritization between mating and food preferences. Utilizing approximately 50 mature and 50 juvenile crickets, the experiment involved filter papers scented with female pheromones and dog food to represent mating and food resources. While mature males showed a slight preference for female cues, the difference was not statistically significant with a 95% confidence level. In contrast, juvenile crickets exhibited a significant preference for female scents over food scents. Additionally, Mann-Whitney U-tests revealed no significant differences between the two groups in the time spent on …
