Problem statement: MSW has traditionally been dealt with thorough the practice of land filling and incineration. However, deleterious environmental impacts have promoted municipalities in Canada to recycle non-putrescible wastes and compost the putrescible ones. This study aimed at evaluating the effect of MSW compost on the growth and production of three vegetable crops (potatoes, corn and squ...

Anthropogenic sources of greenhouse gas emissions are known to contribute to global increases in greenhouse gas concentrations and are widely believed to contribute to climate change. A reference carbon dioxide concentration of 383 ppm for 2007 is projected to increase to a nominal 500 ppm in less than 50 years according to business as usual models. This concentration change is equivalent to an...

We have discussed the quark-lepton mass matrices with the U(1) flavor symmetry in SU(5), which lead to the large mixing angle MSW solution of solar neutrinos. The solar neutrino solution depends on the next-leading terms in the neutrino mass matrix. We have found the lepton mass matrices with the U(1)×Z2 symmetry, which give the LMA-MSW solution uniquely. The coefficients of the matrix elements...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether exposure to child-targeted fast-food (FF) television (TV) advertising is associated with children's FF intake in a non-experimental setting. DESIGN Cross-sectional survey conducted April-December 2013. Parents reported their pre-school child's TV viewing time, channels watched and past-week FF consumption. Responses were combined with a list of FF commercials (a...

The article considers the problem of waste management on example Arkhangelsk Region, which is characterized by removal solid municipal and domestic waste, negatively affects ecological situation whole region. factors determining specifics MSW in regions Arctic zone Russian Federation (ASRF) are highlighted. notes that many countries implement (MSW) recycling programmes to improve environmental ...

were tested in this project. TGA/MSffTIR analyses were performed on the raw materials and their blends, and the combustion profiles collected indicated various types of thermal behavior. The results indicated greater possibilities for the formation of organic compounds during co-finng at fast heating rates than at slow heating rates. Experiments in a tube hrnace showed that molecular chlorine i...

Landfill disposal and waste-to-energy (WTE) incineration remain the two principal options for managing municipal solid waste (MSW). One critical determinant of the acceptability of these options is the different health risks associated with each. In this analysis relying on published data and exposure modeling, we have performed health risk assessments for landfill disposal versus WTE treatment...
