Full textAbstract:
The Swinomish Indian Tribal Community developed an informal environmental health and sustainability (EHS) curriculum based on Swinomish beliefs and practices. EHS programs developed and implemented by Indigenous communities are extremely scarce. The mainstream view of EHS does not do justice to how many Indigenous peoples define EHS as reciprocal relationships between people, nonhuman beings, homelands, air, and waters. The curriculum provides an alternative informal educational platform for teaching science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics (STEAM) using identification, harvest, and preparation activities of First Foods and medicines that are important to community members in order to increase awareness and understanding of local EHS issues. The curriculum, called 13 Moons, is founded on a set of guiding principles which may be useful for other Indigenous communities seeking to develop their own curricula.

Full textAbstract:
General Zia Ul Haq’s military regime is known, for many for its blatant violation of human rights, hanging, flogging, and imprisonment of political workers. Even intelligentsia and journalists were executed for political reasons during this regime. However, his regime was particularly known for suppression of women rights in his process of Islamization. After deposing Bhutto by imposing Martial Law General Zia took over the helm of affairs of the country on the 5th of July 1977 and remained in power with full autocracy till 17th August 1988 when his plan was ablaze in the air near Bahawalpur. This study is an attempt to analyze the process of Islamization by General Zia, its causes, suppressive actions act against various segments of society especially women. The study is also an attempt to search for the answers to the question “Was his policy of Islamization a sincere effort to implement the Islamic system or merely politically motivated? The response of women against Islamization regarding gender-related laws is also a significant part of the paper. Both qualitative and quantitative methods are used to investigate and research the facts about the Islamization process and the struggle of women against it. The memoirs and interviews of participating women activists, scholars, and other leading figures have also been consulted to fill the leftover scholarly gap. Pakistan is predominantly a feudal and tribal nation with patriarchal beliefs and mindsets. In the South Asian region, religion has always played an essential role in the lives of ordinary men and women, although women have been enslaved and dominated in the name of religion far more than males.

Full textAbstract:
A passive guidance method is used in midcourse guidance stage of long range air-to-air anti-radiation missile, which based on the passive location theory of moving single observer to moving radiant point. The special request of guidance law caused by passive guidance is studied, and a model of guidance law named “proportional guidance of swing object direction” is put forward. The model resolves the problem of midcourse guidance method for long range air-to-air anti-radiation missile, and the distance of “fire and forget” could be expanded to launch distance. The simulative trials and analysis of the result show that the guidance law could satisfy the observable condition of passive guidance, and the capability of trajectory is close to the one which produced by proportional guidance low.

Full textAbstract:
Air pemeability values are used to assess the state of aeration, soil structural stability, structural degradation and compaction. A simple experimental procedure, using a constant-speed motor, a syringe and simple pressure sensors, is discussed. At steady-state air flow throught a soil sample the air permeability coefficient can be derived directly from Kirkham's equation. For transient conditions an equation is presented, based on a combination of Kirkham's equation and the ideal gas law, from which the air permeability coefficient can be deduced by trial and error. The importance of the soil water potential, in relation to the measurement of air permeability, is discussed. Complications arising from the 'non-ideal' behaviour of the pressure sensor are also discussed. (Abstract retrieved from CAB Abstracts by CABI’s permission)

Full textAbstract:
The Judas technique was evaluated for its use as a technique to assist with the control of the common starling (Sturnus vulgaris). This technique uses the natural behaviour of a gregarious animal to betray the location of itself and its companions through radio-telemetry. Two trials were conducted to assess and develop the technique for starlings. The first trial was conducted near the western edge of the starling’s current established range in Australia, at Penong in South Australia. Nine out of ten radio-tagged birds were successfully tracked from the ground and air. Estimates of the areas utilised varied from 1.1 km2 to 96.5 km2 (100% convex polygons). Night-time roosts were found for three of the nine radio-tagged birds and control (shooting) recovered just one bird directly associated with a Judas starling, as well as the radio-tagged bird. The second trial was conducted at Munglinup near Esperance in Western Australia. Munglinup is the site of a recent infestation of starlings and is the most western-known outlier of this pest in Australia. At this site, five radio-tagged starlings tracked from the ground and air, utilised areas ranging from 0.7 km2 to 51.6 km2. Reduced fidelity to roosting trees impaired our ability to destroy starlings here. However, the real value of the Munglinup trial was to expand the geographical area known to be occupied by this population from 103 km2 to more than 225 km2 and to identify habitats and roost sites used by the starlings. We conclude that the Judas technique could be applied to starlings and other pest birds with similar social structures as a means of strategic surveillance rather than as an adjunct to control per se.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract It is easy to presume that age’s legal value rests in the autonomy and rights that accrue to the liberal (male, propertied) citizen who has reached the age of majority. But this is not universally so. In Spain’s American colonies, legal age talk involved multiplying privileges rather than exclusionary subtraction. Few indigenous peoples, enslaved people of African descent, or members of the free casta poor tallied the years they had lived in a manner that meets modern standards of precision. Instead, the ages that Spanish American officials set down on paper in criminal trials, censuses, and freedom suits derived from complicated cultural equations, including reconciling local ethno-numeracies with European counting systems. For all its seeming imprecision, age was of critical importance to colonial Spanish Americans, since rather than guaranteeing access to rights, age was a language that colonial subjects used to turn legal incapacities into beneficial protections.

This paper analyses the area in which synchronic operation of several pneumatic actuators connected by a rigid link exists. The minimum values of the supplied compressed air have been determined under which self-exciting vibrations appear in the system of several actuators. The influence of the transducers geometrical parameters on the variation law of motion of the system working organ has been investigated. It has determined that character of dependencies of peak-to-peak and frequency upon pressure of system is similar to character of dependencies separate transducer and that having picked up geometrical and dynamic parameters actuators it is possible to receive difficult (biharmonic) movement of system. This property can be applied in vibrostands meant for material or equipment trials and their vibrational processing.

Full textAbstract:
Indonesia is a state of law, one of which is equality before the law. One of the forms is the existence of legal aid institutions to protect human rights. In this case, it is the suspect/defendant whose rights are often violated due to the arbitrariness of the legal apparatus from arrest to trial. Even though legal rules and codes of ethics have been regulated, every law enforcement officer cannot guarantee that the rights of the community, especially suspects and defendants, are fulfilled. So that this legal aid institution takes the role so that people's rights, both legal protection, legal assistance, good treatment can be accepted by suspects or defendants, so that arbitrariness does not occur. For this reason, legal aid institutions recruit advocates, paralegals, lecturers, and law students to participate in implementing legal aid. Legal aid is given to the poor but does not rule out the possibility of giving it to children, persons with disabilities, women, the elderly, Indonesian workers, or other vulnerable people or groups in accordance with their regional context and regulated in laws and regulations. The suspect himself must be given to the suspect who is threatened with imprisonment of more than 5 years and is incapacitated or is threatened with a sentence of 15 years or death. Otherwise, the claim is considered invalid.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract. Compared to conventional cage production systems, cage-free (CF) hen housing offers hens more space and opportunities to exercise their natural behaviors (e.g., perching, dust bathing, and foraging). However, CF housing poses a number of inherent environmental challenges, among which are high levels of particulate matter (PM) and ammonia (NH3). Spraying water on CF hen house litter (e.g., 125 mL m-2 per cm of litter depth) has been shown to mitigate generation of PM by 60% to 70% in our previous lab-scale tests. The objectives of this study were to verify the lab-scale findings of PM reduction in a commercial CF hen house in central Iowa and to evaluate the indoor air quality (e.g., PM and NH3 concentrations) and litter moisture content as affected by water spray. The commercial CF house had a nominal capacity of 50,000 laying hens and measured 154 m × 21.3 m × 3.0 m (L × W × H). A water sprinkling system was installed in half of the hen house in the length direction (treatment section), while the other half of the hen house served as the control. For each of the three trials conducted during the winter of 2017-2018, spray dosage (125 mL H2O m-2 per cm of litter depth) was set according to the initial litter depth before spraying. Results show that PM concentration was reduced by 37% to 51% in the treatment section of the CF hen house. The lower reduction efficiency in the field experiment than in the lab-scale tests was partially attributed to the fact that water spray in the commercial hen house was applied only to the open litter area, and not the litter area under the aviary system, due to limited space. Adjusting the spray dosage according to litter depth is necessary for maintaining an appreciable reduction efficiency. Litter moisture content in the treatment section was 9% to 14% higher than in the control section (15.6% vs. 14% in trial 1, 14.6% vs. 12.2% in trial 2, and 17.7% vs. 14.9% in trial 3), but NH3 concentrations in the treatment and control sections were similar during the field experiment. Keywords: Air quality, Alternative hen housing, Dust, Litter moisture content.

Full textAbstract:
TPS10609 Background: ECOG-ACRIN launched the Tomosynthesis Mammographic Imaging Screening Trial (TMIST) through the National Cancer Institute’s National Clinical Trials Network (NCTN)— a network of academic medical centers, community hospitals, and private clinical practices that are committed to participating in NCI-funded clinical trials. The NCI NCTN was developed to support rapid trial start-up of NCI-funded cancer control/prevention, cancer treatment, and non-therapeutic clinical trials that occur within the institution through centralized institutional administration and shared clinical resource allocation (personnel, lab services). TMIST is a randomized clinical trial assessing two breast cancer screening imaging modalities, tomosynthesis and digital mammography, in the population of women presenting for screening mammography and therefore requires active involvement of radiology. Methods: TMIST seeks to enroll 164,946 women, ages 45 to 74 years who present for screening mammography. Because the population under evaluation are women already scheduled for screening mammography, the mammography clinic is critical to successful recruitment as well as adherence to imaging randomization assignments over a 5-year period and therefore must be actively engaged in this trial with a breast imaging radiologist championing the trial within this service. To get active engagement of breast imaging radiologists, we needed to first make them aware of TMIST. Breast imaging radiologists that were already actively involved in the NCTN received notification of the trial through the NCTN email lists. So our goal was to come up with a strategy to reach out to breast imaging radiologists that were not active members in the NCTN. This was achieved through in-person informational sessions to introduce the trial at national and international breast imaging meetings, introduction of the trial and the workings of the NCTN network to the radiology community through articles placed in American College of Radiology (ACR) newsletters, ads promoting TMIST on ACR social media platforms, and direct email by the TMIST study chair to key radiology stakeholders. As of February 15, 2021, there are 115 sites open: 106 in the U.S. and 9 internationally with an additional 54 sites planning to open. A total of 39,366 women are enrolled in the trial with two-thirds also consenting to optional blood and/or buccal cell collection. Minority populations’ participation in the trial is over 20%. A significant drop in enrollment occurred in Spring 2020 coinciding with the suspension of mammography services globally due to COVID-19 beginning mid-March 2020. Enrollment and follow-up screening visits for TMIST restarted in May 2020 and gradually ramped back up to pre-COVID totals in September 2020. Our highest monthly accrual so far occurred in November 2020 with 2,148 subjects enrolled. Clinical trial information: NCT03233191 .

Full textAbstract:
High tunnel (HT) winter production may be limited by extreme low air temperatures, suboptimal soil temperatures, large diurnal temperature changes, and short daylengths and associated low light conditions. To determine the productivity of spinach in extreme climates, HT production trials were conducted in the fall (October to December) and winter (January to March) of 2010–12 at the Greenville Research Farm in Logan, UT (lat. 41 N. elevation 1455 m). Soil heating (±) using electric cables and secondary covers (fabric rowcovers and plastic low tunnels) were evaluated to determine combined effects on fall and winter spinach production. Soil heating significantly increased yield in all cover treatments in the Fall 2010 (F2010) trial when spinach was planted in November, but had little to no effect on plant productivity in the other three trials (more appropriate planting dates) even though it did increase soil temperature marginally. The addition of secondary covers significantly increased plant biomass and leaf area when compared with the uncovered control. Excluding the F2011 trial when spinach was planted earlier under more favorable temperature and light conditions, the use of low tunnels resulted in significantly higher spinach yields (biomass and leaf area) than when grown under fabric rowcover. In the fall, relative growth rates (RGRs) decreased exponentially regardless of whether the soil was heated or not heated or if a secondary cover was used. This response was because of the seasonal decline in light levels and temperatures. In the winter production cycle, spinach relative growth without covers was similar or increased as climatic conditions improved. For plants grown under fabric or plastic rowcovers, RGR remained more constant or decreased during the production cycle. Increased yields were possible with secondary covers as air temperatures increase more quickly in the morning, maintained optimal temperatures longer each day (higher growing degree hours), and retained trapped heat later into the evening. Statistical interaction between heating cables and secondary covers were rarely observed. Fall and winter HT spinach production increases when further protection with secondary plant covers is provided; however, supplemental soil heating is not necessary.

Abstract The use of infrared radiation for heating the web in the through air drying process was investigated in lab scale. The hypothesis was that infrared radiation should be a more efficient method to transfer drying energy to the wet web compared to hot air, but that a certain air flow is still required as a transport medium for the evaporated water. A trial program comprising handsheets made of two types of bleached chemical pulps, five grammages (15, 22, 30 and 60 g/m²), and dried with five radiator power levels was performed on a lab scale through air drying equipment. Drying times of the samples were determined from temperature data recorded with an infrared camera. The use of infrared radiation shortened drying times, especially for low grammage samples. The shortening of the drying time ranged between 10 and 45 %. The most substantial shortenings were obtained for the lowest grammages and the highest radiator power level. However, the increase of power did not linearly shorten drying time. After an initial shortening at the lowest power level, the positive effect of the IR heating decreased as the power was further increased.

One manifestation of justice or equality before the law is the existence of legal assistance for every citizen involved in legal problems, without exception the poor. The legal problems that ensnare many poor people or groups are currently increasing complex. Legal aid is a human right of all people, which is not given by the state and is not a mercy from the state, but is also the responsibility of the state in realizing equality before the law, access to justice, and fair trial. Therefore, the government made and ratified a regulation that regulates legal aid, namely Law Number 16 of 2011 concerning Legal Aid. This research is intended to analyze the implementation of legal aid for the poor communities in the context of access to justice in Indonesia.

Due to the large amounts of freshwater consumed in Egypt by the agricultural sector that is more than 85% of Egypt share of freshwater in addition to the high concentrations of salts, chemicals and nutrients produced from fertilizers. Reduction of these pollutants concentrations to an acceptable level and breaking the sedimentation stability of colloidal substances and organic particles for reuse for irrigation purposes was associated with the application of biological treatment with coagulants addition. The flocculation process was performed by using polydiallyldimethylammonium chloride (polyDADMAC) and polyacrylamide grafted oatmeal (OAT-g-PAM). The scale-pilot consists of an aeration tank equipped with an air blower, sedimentation tank followed by a filtration stage through 20 cm of pottery scrubs media. To study the performance of synthetic and grafted polymeric flocculants, 3 trials were performed. Activated sludge process without adding any polymeric flocculants was the control trial. In the second trial, polyDADMAC was added with a dose of 5 mg/l. Finally, OAT-g-PAM with a dose of 1.25 mg/l was used in the third trial. The physicochemical properties of agricultural wastewater were measured at the national research center in Cairo. It was found that OAT-g-PAM incorporated with activated sludge process was the most effective in treating agricultural wastewater as it achieved COD, BOD,TKN, TP, and TSS removal efficiency up to 92.29%, 93.13%, 90.64%, 90.46%, and 92.5%, respectively which made it suitable to reuse for agricultural purposes, in addition to its ability to biodegrade, environmentally friendly, and low dosage required compared to polyDADMAC.

Full textAbstract:
The increased demand for food and the challenge for space for agriculture production in urban centers have made the vertical growth system an interesting trend. Agriculture is no longer only the horizontal, traditional, and soil grown method. Urban agriculture has created ways for inner city growers to be able to farm in a restricted space. Vertical farming is the practice of growing crops, especially leafy vegetables such as lettuce, in vertically stacked layers, as this results in significantly higher plant population per unit area. Two research trials were conducted in the fall of 2018 and the spring of 2019 to determine the effect of substrate properties and fertilizers on lettuce yield to optimize the urban production of lettuce. Three substrates (P3 + CF7 = Perlite 30%: Coco fiber 70%, PB7 + C3 = Pine Bark 70%: Compost 30%, and PB9 + C1 = Pine Bark 90%: Compost 10%) along with full and half rates of a fertilizer blend (VertiGro Organics fermented molasses, Ohrstrom’s Maxicrop liquid seaweed, and organic mineral blend) were evaluated on fresh and dried weight yield of lettuce. Substrate physical properties (air space, water holding capacity, total porosity, and bulk density) and substrate volumetric water content were also determined. ‘Nevada’ and ‘Optima’ lettuce varieties showed similar yield responses (fresh and dried weight) to substrate and fertilizer rates in both trials. In the fall 2018 trial, the highest fresh weight was observed in substrate PB7 + C3 with half fertilizer rate, with a mean plant weight of 41.13 g and 49.75 g for ‘Optima’ and ‘Nevada’, respectively. The least mean fresh weight was observed in half fertilizer rate of substrate P3 + CF7. For the spring 2019 trial, PB7 + C3 in half fertilizer strength gave the highest fresh weight for ‘Optima’ and ‘Nevada’ (45.64 g and 41.13 g, respectively). These values were statistically comparable to all other treatments except for substrate P3 + CF7 in full and half fertilizer which gave the least mean fresh weight. Volumetric water content in substrates P3 + CF7 recorded the highest average, while PB7 + C3 gave the least. Higher water holding capacity, total porosity, and lower airspace were observed in substrate P3 + CF7. Higher airspace was observed in PB9 + C1 but was comparable to PB7 + C3.

If an international trade dispute occurs, so that the ways of resolution can be reached through non-litigation (alternative litigation) or Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR). The facilities classified as ADR other than Arbitration facilities as contained in Article 6 of Law No. 30 of 1999 concerning Arbitration and Alternative Dispute Resolution which includes facilities including Meditation facilities, Negotiation facilities, Consolidation facilities, and other facilities. Based on the Arbitration Law it provides an opportunity to resolve trade disputes through the Arbitration institution and it is very appropriate if this institution has a very important role in resolving disputes that occur in the world of international trade. The scope of disputes which can be tried in a trial of the International Commercial Arbitration institution must be related to the issue of trade, finance and general trading (commerce), while those relating to other matters have nothing to do at all.

Full textAbstract:
This article attempts to provide a synthetic presentation of aviation as an area amenable to issuing opinions by court-appointed experts in the field. It presents basic issues concerning the participation of aviation experts in legal proceedings related to aviation, especially to air accidents. As indicated, aviation is an interdisciplinary industry employing highly diversified equipment. Subsequently, the article illustrates the role of an aviation expert in the proceedings conducted by law enforcement and judicial authorities, related to accident occurrence and other infringements of aviation law regulations. Basic issues that may be brought to the attention of the body conducting the proceedings are defined. The article emphasizes the uniqueness of the objectives of criminal proceedings and the activities aimed at determining the cause of an accident undertaken by the State Commission on Aircraft Accidents lnvestigation. The author’s long-term practice as an aviation expert witness was exploited to familiarize the reader with aviation-related issues, which can be helpful in conducting a pre-trial procedure, in particular its initial phase.

AbstractAir pollution from wood burning is a serious problem in the developing world. In the cities of south-central Chile, households experience extremely high ambient air pollution levels due to massive combustion of wood as fuel for residential heating. To address this problem, in recent years new residential wood stoves—equipped with improved combustion technologies that are designed to be less-polluting—have replaced high-polluting ones. However, users’ behaviour in operating these improved stoves is a key factor that drives actual emissions. When users ‘choke the damper’ to extend the burning time of their wood fuel, it constrains the air flow in the wood stoves and creates a highly polluting combustion process. To address this issue, a behavioural intervention was designed to provide users with real-time feedback on their wood stoves’ air pollution emissions with the goal of ‘nudging’ them to use their stoves in a less polluting way. The intervention consists of an information sign that aligns with the wood stove’s damper lever and informs users about pollution emission levels according to the chosen setting of the wood stove’s damper. The information sign is complemented by the visit of a field assistant that explains the sign and provides an informational flyer (fridge magnet). To assess the effectiveness of this behavioural intervention a randomized controlled trial was conducted with selected households in the city of Valdivia, Chile. Results from this intervention show that households that were provided with the information sign reduced the frequency with which they used the most polluting settings of their stoves, inducing a behavioural change that results in a 10.8% reduction in residential pollution emissions.

Objectives: We aimed to compare tympanic membrane temperature changes and the incidence of inadvertent perioperative hypothermia (IPH) in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy under general anesthesia in laminar airflow systems (LAS-OR) and conventional turbulent airflow systems (CAS-OR). Background: Different heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems are used in the operating room (OR), such as LAS and CAS. Laminar airflow is directed directly to the patient in LAS-OR. Does laminar airflow in ORs cause faster heat loss by convection? Methods: This is a prospective, randomized study. We divided 200 patients with simple randomization (1:1), as group LAS and group CAS, and took the patients into the LAS-OR or CAS-OR for the operation. Clinical trial number: IRCT20180324039145N3. The tympanic membrane temperatures of patients were measured (°C) before anesthesia induction ( T 0) and then every 15 min during surgery ( Tn). Changes (Δ n) between T 0 and Tn were measured. Results: In the first 30 min, there was a temperature decrease of approximately 0.8 °C (1.44 °F) in both groups. Temperature decreases at 45 min were higher in group LAS than in group CAS but not statistically significant, Δ45, respectively, 0.89 (95% confidence interval [CI] [0.77, 1.02]) versus 0.77 (95% CI [0.69, 0.84]; p = .09). IPH occurred in a total of 60.9% (112 of 184) of patients in the entire surgical evaluation period in group LAS and group CAS (58.9% vs. 62.8%, p = . 59). Conclusions: IPH is seen frequently in both HVAC systems. Clinically, the advantage of HVAC systems relative to each other has not been demonstrated during laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Abstract Treatments were applied to cotton grown in small plots at Stoneville, Miss. Plot size was 30 ft X 4 rows arranged in a RCBD with 4 replicates/treatment. Treatments were applied on 12 Jul (Test 1) and 18 Aug (Test 2) by a high-clearance spray machine equipped with a compressed-air spray system. Total spray volume was 6 gpa at 5 mph and 35 psi using two TX10 nozzles/row. TB eggs were obtained from cultures maintained in the laboratory. Test 1 eggs were obtained from a susceptible STV-LAB strain and Test 2 eggs were from a resistant G2-95 strain. The STV-LAB strain had been in culture without insecticide selection pressure since collection from cotton in 1984; the G2-95 strain was collected from cotton 13-16 Jun, 1995, and had been shown to have multiple resistance by standard bioassays. All eggs used were laid the previous night on tulle cloth material. Eggs were not washed or subjected to chemical treatments before use and were easily removed by crumpling the material. Eggs treated in the field were placed on the upper surface of the last 3-4 expanded leaves in the terminal of 4 plants in each replication by brushing a weak solution of xanthan gum and water on the leaves and sprinkling eggs on the surface. Plots were sprayed 30 min after application of the eggs. Eggs were sprinkled on the leaves in an effort to get at least 10 eggs/leaf. Eggs remained in the field for 2 h after treatment and were then taken to the laboratory to determine mortality. The number of viable eggs was counted on each leaf in the laboratory 24 h after being sprayed. The number of eggs averaged 15.0 ± 5.5 (S.D.). Leaves were held in Petri dishes on water-moistened filter paper at 82° F. The number of unhatched eggs was determined at 48 and 72 h after eggs were applied. Eggs were considered dead when black and shriveled. Cumulative egg mortality (EM) 72 h after treatment is reported. Hatched larval mortality (LM) was observed at 48 and 72 h after treatment and is reported as cumulative larval mortality at 72 h after treatment. Larval mortality was used to calculate total mortality (TM) at 72 h.

Few studies have conducted experiments in daily living environments to examine the effects of indoor plants on objective aspects of the physical environment. This study examined the effects of plant distance and green coverage ratio on the objective physical environment and subjective psychological perceptions, along with the correlation between the objective physical environment and subjective psychological perceptions regarding indoor plants. A randomized control trial of plant distance and green coverage ratio was conducted in a room located in the basement of a university building in Taiwan. Aspects of the objective physical environment were measured using air quality detectors. Subjective psychological perceptions were evaluated based on the questionnaire responses of 60 undergraduates. The results revealed that (1) regardless of number of plants, the closer the plant, the higher the CO2 level; (2) more indoor plants resulted in higher CO2 and humidity and lower PM2.5, PM10, and temperature; and (3) the lower the levels of fine and suspended particles in the air were, the stronger were the feelings of preference, naturalness of the environment, and pleasure in participants. Indoor plants that can regulate indoor air quality and microclimates without consuming energy warrant greater attention and wider application.

Cao river aqueduct is the mark building at main channel of the middle line of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, of which the 30m span is the largest aqueduct in Asia for its span, and its structure is relatively complicated, which is the large-scale aqueduct that has been designed and constructed for the first time in China with great technical difficulties in structure form. For it will directly affect the safe operation of aqueduct that whether the actual stressing state, deformation conditions, prestress effect and etc. meet the design requirements, the impounding test of trial span was carried out before formal operation. As it can be seen from the test results analysis, aqueduct structure is under a good elastic working condition with about 1.00mm maximum deflection at mid-span and meets the design and specification requirements, which means the structure of aqueduct is reasonably designed, and structure operation is safe and reliable. In the meantime, the stress characteristics and deformation law of aqueduct structure has been mastered more overall and deeply according to the research on the impounding test, which provides important reference for later operation and management.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract In this study, diffused aeration was applied to remove trihalomethane (THM) compounds from chlorinated, treated water containing high dissolved organic carbon (DOC) of 6.8 ± 1.2 mg/L. Increasing air-to-water volumetric ratio (rA/W) from 16 to 39 enhanced total THM (TTHM) removal from 60 to 70% at 20 °C and from 30 to 50% at 4 °C. Although bromodichloromethane has lower Henry's law constant than chloroform (CF), it was removed by a higher degree than CF in some aeration trials. Albeit obtaining high removals in aeration, TTHM reformed, and their concentration surpassed the Canadian guideline of 100 ppb in about 24 hours at 20 °C and 40 hours at 10 °C in all attempted air-to-water ratios. The water age in the system investigated in this study varied from 48 hours in midpoint chlorine boosting stations to 336 hours in the nearest endpoint. This study showed that THM removal by aeration is not a viable solution to control the concentration of these disinfection by-products in high-DOC treated water and in distribution systems where water age exceeds 24 hours; unless, it is going to be installed at the distribution endpoints.

The main drawback of the method proposed by Marciniak and Kuczynski for prediction of the limit strains in sheet metal forming processes is requirement of an experimental point of the forming limit curve (FLC) in order to calibrate the curve. The purpose of this work is to introduce a new method to calibrate the FLC using the M-K model in which no experimental data is needed. To achieve this goal, many experimental FLCs were collected from the literature and the values of the initial inhomogeneity factors were determined for them with trial and error aproach. Using these data, an empirical law was developed to predict the value of inhomogeneity factor. The resultant curves show good agreement with the experiments.

This paper focuses on examining environmental cases before the Indonesian courts from the past ten years. To be specific, this paper will study four major cases with regard private law, six major cases with regard to criminal law, and class action cases in Indonesia. This period of time explains trending increase of environmental cases before the courts. In this regard, Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) becomes the main preference of settling the environmental disputes. However, ADR seems not able to bring justice to the fullest especially when it comes to the corporations. It is not justice to the fullest in the sense that there seems no deterrence ADR brings to the corporations when the corporations do indeed damages the environment. As the environmental awareness increases and at the same time, ADR seems fail to fulfill the expectation to save the environment, another way to bring justice emerges namely through various efforts in lawsuits. Nevertheless, such lawsuits are not perfect as there are varieties of results from Indonesian courts. This paper argues that such variety of decisions have been heavily influence by the availability of scientific data and the knowledge of the panel of judges. Specifically, in the case of class action lawsuit, those who defend the environment has limitation on resources usually initiate such lawsuit. Whereas, corporation that being sued is relatively have the capacity to face the trial due to its high financial resources. Nevertheless, “fighting the giants” has been the paradigm when it comes to pursue the responsibility of corporation of its wrongdoing especially environmental damages.

. An analytical model is developed for the prediction of residual stresses in burnishing. The model is simplified as a concentrated force pressing on elastic-plastic half-space using the solution to the Boussinesq-Flament problem. The treated material admits the elastic-plastic properties with hardening using a power law constitutive relation. Trial computation using Johnson-Cook model on AISI 1042 steel is presented and the results are verified with the experimental results given by Bouzid’s previous work. The residual stresses in the feed direction show the same trend with the experimental results while some differences still exist near the surface because of the concentrated normal force assumption and such stresses increase with the increase of burnishing force, decrease with the increase of depth and turn to zero beyond the plastic deformation boundary.

Currently, researches on anti-cracking performance of asphalt concrete overlays on old concrete pavement for fatigue are still in the early stage of explorations and trials. The reflective crack simulation tests of bending and shearing styles with six asphalt overlays were carried out in order to evaluate the anti-cracking effects of different kinds of anti-cracking materials. It is suggested that Sampave modified asphalt mixture with independent development has excellent anti-cracking performance for fatigue, which provides an experimental reason for extending the anti-cracking technique in stress absorbing layers. Although anti-cracking performances of glass fiber grid and tricot geofabric reinforced composites are better, it is not as good as the one of Sampave. And the effect of paving asphalt concrete directly on old cement concrete pavement is worse.

Jailhouse informants are a leading cause of wrongful convictions. In an attempt to preempt such miscarriages of justice, several states (e.g., Connecticut and California) have mandated that judicial instructions be provided to act as a safeguard against false testimony. This study evaluated the effectiveness of these instructions in helping jurors distinguish between reliable and unreliable jailhouse informants. Participants read a trial transcript that varied instructions (Standard, Connecticut, Enhanced) and informant reliability (reliable, unreliable). The results indicated that the instructions had no effect on verdict decisions. Even though verdicts did not vary, participants rated the unreliable informant as less trustworthy, honest, and interested in justice than the reliable informant. This is consistent with previous findings that indicate that participants are aware of the legal prescriptions given in the instructions, but they do not implement them in making decisions. Therefore, instructions may be an insufficient safeguard.

Full textAbstract:
Montana recently joined Oregon and Washington as the only states in the nation to legalize the choice among terminally ill adults to hasten death by self-administering a lethal dose of drugs prescribed by a physician. Unlike Oregon and Washington, however, Montana's legalization of physician aid in dying (PAID) resulted not from public consideration of a statewide initiative, but from the judicial resolution of a lawsuit, Baxter v. Montana. As originally conceived, a trial judge reasoned that the unenumerated right to PAID is embraced by enumerated state constitutional rights to privacy and dignity. On appeal, Montana's supreme court jettisoned this construct, and, in its place, fashioned a legal home for PAID out of state homicide, consent defense, and end-of-life statutes. Central to this court's statutory rendering is the finding that state law, allowing terminally ill Montanans sustained by life support to withdraw such treatment and die, discriminates against terminally ill Montanans not sustained by life support who seek death; these classes are similar, the justices reckoned, entitling both to choose death. This analysis examines Montana's courting of PAID, offering textual examination of state trial and appellate court opinions, an accounting of legal strategies advanced in amici curiae briefs, and commentary about the problems and prospects with Baxter's holding. I argue, ultimately, that the equality principles statutorily conceived in Baxter (1) could be parroted in the vast majority of states that both criminalize assisted suicide and enumerate constitutional equal protection guarantees, and (2) could replace sub silentio the equal protection paradigm applied to “physician-assisted suicide” by the United States Supreme Court in its landmark Vacco v. Quill ruling.

Extreme summertime heat is becoming a major issue for aircraft operations. As global temperatures continue to rise, some of the heaviest planes on the longest flights may eventually be unable to depart during the hottest part of summer days. During summer days, some airports have to reduce the payload of aircraft, including cargo and/or passengers in the hotter days of summer. Nonetheless, there is no existing body of research on the potential for airport cooling. Furthermore, extreme heat on the ground also affects airport workers; loading and unloading luggage and servicing platforms between flights could become more arduous. With global warming proceeding, it is becoming increasingly urgent to find a suitable strategy to cool airport environments, perhaps by irrigation of a vegetated landscape. All airports have large enclosed areas (usually of grass) acting as a buffer between airport activities and the adjacent industrial, commercial and residential land utilization. This paper describes the trial of irrigating the buffer area of Adelaide airport and analyzes the performance of irrigation cooling for Adelaide airport, examining whether this can benefit human thermal comfort. Results indicate that irrigation provides cooling, and the cooling effect reduces along with the increasing instance from the middle of the irrigation area. At 15:00, the average air temperature was 1.8 °C cooler in the middle of the irrigation area than in the non-irrigation area, and the relative humidity was 5.8% higher during the trial period. On an extremely hot day (the maximum air temperature was 45.4 °C), it was 1.5 °C cooler in the middle of the irrigation area than upwind the of irrigation area, and 0.8 °C cooler than downwind of the irrigation area at 13:00. Human thermal comfort (HTC) is unfavorable in the runway, but greater improvements can be made through promotion of irrigation.

Judgment No. 161/98.Court of Trento, Italy, July 13, 1998.On February 3, 1998, a U.S. Marine EA-6B aircraft, redeployed at Aviano air base as part of Operation Deliberate Guard in support of the multinational Stabilization Force (SFOR) in Bosnia, was on a low-level training mission over northern Italy when it severed the wires of the cable car at the Cermis ski resort near Cavalese, causing the deaths of twenty people. Because the exercise of criminal action is mandatory under Article 112 of the Italian Constitution, the public prosecutor decided that he had to institute preliminary investigations immediately, with a view to determining whether to prosecute. On July 13, 1998, an Italian judge, in a preliminary hearing, rejected the prosecutor's request that seven U.S. servicemen stand trial for the cable-car accident. The judge found that, under Article VII, paragraph 3(a) (ii) of the NATO Status of Forces Agreement (NATO SOFA), the United States, as the sending state, had the primary right to exercise jurisdiction over the case and that jurisdiction had not been waived. Accordingly, the judge dismissed the case.
