The safe and reliable long-term disposal of solid waste residues is an important component of integrated waste management. Solid waste residues are waste components that are not recycled, that remain after processing at a materials recovery facility, or that remain after the recovery of conversion products and/or energy. Historically, solid waste has been placed in the soil in the earth's surface or deposited in the oceans. Although ocean dumping of municipal solid waste was officially abandoned in the United States in 1933, it is now argued that many of the wastes now placed in landfills or on land could be used

An understanding of the nature of wastewater is essential in the design and operation of collection, treatment, and reuse facilities, and in the engineering management of environmental quality. To promote this understanding, the information in this chapter is presented in eight sections dealing with (1)an introduction to the constituents found in wastewater, (2)sampling and analytical procedures, (3) physical characteristics, (4)inorganic nonmetallic constituents, (5) metallic constituents

How p53 and Rb pathway function may be disrupted in cancer cells Components of the pathway which are found altered in human cancers are shown in red on the diagram above p53 and Rb themselves may be inactivated by gene mutation (loss of both copies or also as in familial retinoblastoma and Li-Fraumeni syndrome where there are inherited mutations in one copy of Rb or p53 gene respectively. Alternatively

The question of whether a govemment can go bankrupt in the Netherlands is not a new one. The Supreme Court, for example, was asked as early as 1922 whether a municipality(in this case, Wormerveer)could be decared bankrupt. Through the appeal in cassation, the court did not reach a principled verdict in this matter. Ever since, it has remained a vexed question that regularly kept rearing its head, both in the literature and in case-law. There were

ipids differ from the other classes of naturally occurring biomolecules (carbohy- drates, proteins, and nucleic acids)in that they are more soluble in non-to-weakly polar solvents(diethyl ether, hexane, dichloromethathan they are in water.they include a variety of structural types, a collection of which is introduced in this chapter. In spite of the number of different structural types, lipids share a common biosyn- thetic origin in that they are ultimately derived from glucose. During one stage of car- bohydrate metabolism, called glycolysis, glucose is converted to lactic acid. Pyruvic acid is an intermediate

Consumers are the centre of product development in the food industry, directly in the design of consumer products and indirectly in the design of commodity products and industrial products. In industrial product development, the emphasis is on the immediate customer, but consideration needs to be given to the acceptance of the final product by the consumer. It is important in product development to understand basic consumer behaviour and food choice as well as the individual product/consumer relationship(Earle, 1997). Differences among

The physico-chemical behavior of rare earth elements in low sulphur 16Mn steel and their ability to enhance the corrosion resistance of the steel in sea water studied in this paper. The results indicate that Ce and La in 16Mn steel all have the abilities such as deoxidation, desulphidation, refining grains and cleaning grain boundaries and matrix etc. The anodic and cathodic polarization curves show that the rare earth elements added in 16Mn steel enhance the corrosion resistance of the steel in sea water
