Cost-Effective Algae Control in the Coastal Waters of the Korean Peninsula

Given the adverse externalities of hydrocarbon operations, particularly the impacts of oil spills – environmental, political, cultural and socio-economic – the hypothetical simulations of oil spills enhances the study and appreciation of the trajectory and fate of spilled oil in the marine environment; so as to plan timely and cost effective clean-up responses and management strategies. This paper therefore presents the results of a rapid hypothetical simulation of oil spills in Ghana’s coastal waters, and the clean-up technique(s) most applicable in the area. Using MIKE 21, tidal elevations were used as forcing to run the hydrodynamic model, after which a series of hypothetical simulations were conducted with the worst case scenario divulging both the trajectories of the oil slicks and the potential areas to be impacted. The simulation results closely matched the results highlighted in the Phase-1-Development EIA report of the Jubilee Field. Following the simulation, an assessment of the most viable clean-up technique was conducted. Given the geophysical state of the coastal system and the met-ocean conditions, the mechanical recovery method, complemented by bioremediation, is most applicable due to its marginal environmental impacts.

This is the annual presentation of what’s happening in onshore and coastal waters exploration in Australia’s states and the Northern Territory. The main focus of these jurisdictions’ annual report at the APPEA conference is upstream petroleum acreage opportunities. Exploration for geothermal energy resources will also be covered. There are many and diverse exploration opportunities in onshore frontier and producing Australian basins available for explorers in 2008, including geothermal energy exploration opportunities. The number of onshore Australian acreage applications has been steadily increasing in recent years and this has resulted in higher levels of drilling and seismic acquisition, but large areas remain untouched by modern exploration. Australian state governments continue initiatives to encourage exploration to realise their natural resource endowments including: pre-competitive basin studies; speedy and cost-effective provision of digital exploration data; provision of effective land access regimes; transparent regulatory regimes; internationally competitive royalty regimes; and, promotion of acreage releases nationally and internationally.

Sea Outfalls

Major programmes are being undertaken in UK coastal areas to reduce the environmental impact of sewage discharges to estuarial and coastal waters. A particular requirement is compliance with the European Communities Bathing Water Directive: experience has shown that cost-effective environmentally acceptable schemes can be designed incorporating long sea outfalls but only if all major sources of pollutant loading are considered concurrently and sewer, river and marine modelling techniques and standards harmonised. To develop this integrated approach, the UK Water Industry has mounted a major research programme. The resulting procedure is described and the concept of use areas and associated quality standards introduced. The need for regular performance monitoring of outfalls is stressed and appropriate equipment described.

Gynecologic Neoplasms

The female reproductive tract may be the site of a wide variety of benign and malignant tumors, as well as non-neoplastic tumor-like conditions, most of which can be diagnosed by light microscopic examination including special stains and more recently immunoperoxidase techniques. Nevertheless there are situations where ultrastructural examination can contribute substantially to an accurate and specific diagnosis. It is my opinion that electron microscopy can be of greatest benefit and is most cost effective when applied in conjunction with other methodologies. Thus, I have developed an approach which has proved useful for me and may have benefit for others. In cases where it is deemed of potential value, glutaraldehyde-fixed material is obtained at the time of frozen section or otherwise at operation. Coordination with the gynecologic oncologist is required in the latter situation. This material is processed and blocked and is available if a future need arises.

Ibm Pc

IBM PC compatible computers are widely used in microscopy for applications ranging from control to image acquisition and analysis. The choice of IBM-PC based systems over competing computer platforms can be based on technical merit alone or on a number of factors relating to economics, availability of peripherals, management dictum, or simple personal preference.IBM-PC got a strong “head start” by first dominating clerical, document processing and financial applications. The use of these computers spilled into the laboratory where the DOS based IBM-PC replaced mini-computers. Compared to minicomputer, the PC provided a more for cost-effective platform for applications in numerical analysis, engineering and design, instrument control, image acquisition and image processing. In addition, the sitewide use of a common PC platform could reduce the cost of training and support services relative to cases where many different computer platforms were used. This could be especially true for the microscopists who must use computers in both the laboratory and the office.

Ipad Applications

Abstract Using the iPad tablet for Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) purposes can facilitate many communicative needs, is cost-effective, and is socially acceptable. Many individuals with communication difficulties can use iPad applications (apps) to augment communication, provide an alternative form of communication, or target receptive and expressive language goals. In this paper, we will review a collection of iPad apps that can be used to address a variety of receptive and expressive communication needs. Based on recommendations from Gosnell, Costello, and Shane (2011), we describe the features of 21 apps that can serve as a reference guide for speech-language pathologists. We systematically identified 21 apps that use symbols only, symbols and text-to-speech, and text-to-speech only. We provide descriptions of the purpose of each app, along with the following feature descriptions: speech settings, representation, display, feedback features, rate enhancement, access, motor competencies, and cost. In this review, we describe these apps and how individuals with complex communication needs can use them for a variety of communication purposes and to target a variety of treatment goals. We present information in a user-friendly table format that clinicians can use as a reference guide.
