A.Data Collection and Evaluation: 1.Site History There was an outburst of flood in the Community of Columbiana, SC on October 20, 2015. The town has a total area of 2.5 square miles, all land and mostly plain. Although there is vegetation on most of the area, the flood seems to have covered almost all the soil surface. As is in this map below, the Community was with Schools and residential homes and a landfill. The residential areas located in two main areas, are zoned for small homes, pre-fabs…

CHAPTER 1 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACKGROUND OF STUDY The production of food is basically through agricultural activities and by livestock. The amount of food produced is directly related with the relationship established between the species of interest for production and the other plant, animal, microbial and parasitic biological systems that compete for resources available in the environment (Ueta et al., 1997). Among the species that threaten the agricultural production there are the weeds that,…

The GCMS analysis showed the metabolites could be definitely identified as concern compound by comparisons with known authentic compound. The m+ ion is found at m/z94 for phenol. The molecular weight of the phenol is 94. The base peak value of phenol was observed as 94 and mass peak values were recorded as 66, 39, and 55. The m+ ion for acetophenone is m/z 120. The molecular weight of the compound was observed as 120, the base peak and mass peak values were recorded as 105 and 91, 77, 51, 39,…

Cellulose derivatives The cellulose derivatives widely used in mucoadhesive formulations are hydroxyethylcellulose, hydroxylpropylmethylcellulose, hydroxypropylcellulose and carboxymethylcellulose etc. • Hydroxylpropylmethylcellulose (HPMC): Hydroxylpropylmethylcellulose is semi synthetic, inert, viscoelastic polymers, extensively used not only for mucoadhesion properties but also for its controlled release mechanism. It has been applied to deliver various drugs via different type of dosage…

Chapter Four 4-1Study Area 4-1-1Location Al-Tuwaitha (Nuclear Research Center ) is located about several kilometers south of the southern edge of Baghdad and within the Baghdad Governorate , between 44 27E and 44 35 E Longitude and 33 10 N and 33 15 N Latitude, and covers 1.2 square km. Aand the Tigris River passes near it fig (4-1). Lland use within 10 km of Al-Tuwaitha is predominately agricultural with scattered houses and villages in the outlying areas. No oil fields or…

BACTERIOPHAGE MEDIATED PHYTOREMEDIATION Wastewater is any water that is against the usage by human . Wastewater is the result of domestic, commercial, industrial or agricultural activities. After the use water is returned to the environment in a different condition, usually as dirty water (wastewater).It is never returned in the same way as it was withdrawn. Wastewater produced by households or communities is also called municipal wastewater or sewage. (Tilley) Effluent refers to the sewage or…

Environmental Sustainability of Nike, Inc. John Pisacreta, Will Roberts, and Michael Thomson Clark University Author Note This paper was prepared for Management 170: Managerial Communications for the fall Semester of 2015. Environmental Sustainability of Nike, Inc. Nike’s Reputation Typically, Nike is portrayed in a negative light under the public eye for their labor practices, working conditions, and the sometimes questionable athletes they endorse. It is a popular practice for the…

BP stands for British Petroleum and this company is now widely known for its devastating oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. The British Petroleum Deepwater Horizon oil rig 52 miles south-east of Venice, Louisiana exploded on April 20, 2010 in the waters of the Gulf of Mexico igniting a fireball visible from up to 40 miles away. The BP oil spill is and depending on the effects of the oil on the gulf coast may forever be seen as one of the largest, man-made disasters in the United States. Over 4.9…

Scientists cannot accurately predict that the microorganisms are consuming as much as anticipated. In addition, “…biodegradation does not remove all of the hydrocarbons in crude oil—some compounds are recalcitrant to microbial attack such as higher-molecular-weight PAHs and the polars” (Atlas & Bragg, 2008, p. 2). Lastly, scientists may not be able to find a native organism…
