چکیده
The report by the National Academy of Science Committee on Institutional Considerations in Reducing the Generation of Hazardous Industrial Waste examines key institutional, or nontechnical, factors that affect the generation of hazardous waste by industry. It provides a framework for evaluating public policies, both regulatory and nonregulatory, to reduce the generation of hazardous waste. The report does not itself provide clear-cut solutions; rather, it provides a foundation upon which improved public policies for hazardous waste management can be built. The report's underlying premise I s that waste reduction should be an integral component of any national waste management strategy. report, "waste reduction" refers not only to in-plant process modifications that reduce the volume and/or degree of hazard of hazardous waste generated, but also to reuse and recycling practices. For the purposes of this This report is the first to deal with non-technical factors affecting the generation of industrial hazardous waste. to this topic, committee members have relied on their own experience and judgment in formulating their recommendations. The committee hopes to stimulate public discussion of this subject as an important component of hazardous waste management. Because little study has been devoted

Physiological and biochemical mechanisms associated with trehalose-induced copper-stress tolerance in rice
In this study, we examined the possible mechanisms of trehalose (Tre) in improving copper-stress (Cu-stress) tolerance in rice seedlings. Our findings indicated that pretreatment of rice seedlings with Tre enhanced the endogenous Tre level and significantly mitigated the toxic effects of excessive Cu on photosynthesis- and plant growth-related parameters. The improved tolerance induced by Tre c...
متن کاملAcclimation to humid heat lowers resting core temperature.
The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that a reduction in resting rectal temperature (Tre) is partially responsible for the attenuation in the rise of core temperature during heat exposure following acclimation to humid heat. Nine male volunteers completed 7 days of acclimation, performing 2 h of exercise per day in a hot, humid environment (35°C, 75% relative humidity). Mean (±S...

The explosion of the Internet as a major news source has brought traditional media, particularly newspapers, face to face with a host of challenges. Foremost among these is how to best capitalize on the Web’s apparent potential to expand audiences and introduce innovative newsgathering techniques, while at the same time avoiding the perils of increasing irrelevance, financial hemorrhaging and, ...
