A Review of Roadway Water Movement for Beneficial Use of Recycled Materials

The article considers strategic issues of modernization of the transition economy. The analysis is based on the methodology of the World Economic Forum where special attention is paid to the sequence of the transformation stages. The main conclusion is that modernization should combine implementation of the governance mechanisms with the beneficial use of comparative advantages of the national culture. In fact, modernization of the transition economy should be evolutionary. It is precisely this course of development that is relevant for Azerbaijan which has successfully upgraded its economy in the recent years.

Recycled Materials

In this article, a student describes his development and implementation of a 'candle recycler'; that is, a device for saving melted wax and, at the same time, generating reusable candles. His invention uses recycled materials and is intended for use by people who may not have access to electric lights and/or may not have sufficient funds to purchase candles. This invention is meant as a research-informed and negotiated action to overcome harms the student perceived in relationships among fields of science & technology and societies & environments (STSE).

Main Factors

One of the options being considered for the disposal of radioactive waste is deep burial in crystalline rocks such as granite. It is generally recognised that in such rocks groundwater flows mainly through the fracture networks so that these will be the “highways” for the return of radionuclides to the biosphere. The main factors retarding the radionuclide transport have been considered to be the slow water movement in the fissures over the long distances involved together with sorption both in man-made barriers surrounding the waste, and onto rock surfaces and degradation products in the fissures.
