The document describes the process of paper production, including:
1) Wood fibers are the main raw material and are unlocked from surrounding tissue through mechanical or chemical processes to produce pulp.
2) The pulp is refined, additives are mixed in, and the slurry is formed into a continuous web on a paper machine where water is removed through several sections.
3) Key factors that determine paper properties are fiber length and orientation, degree of refining, and additives used. The paper making process produces a fiber-oriented sheet with different characteristics on each side.

RFYC Love Food Hate Waste presentation
The document discusses food waste in the UK. It finds that 7.2 million tonnes of food and drink are wasted each year, with 4.4 million tonnes from households. Avoidable household waste amounts to around 120kg per person annually costing the average UK household £480 per year. Retailers are taking steps to reduce packaging and encourage better planning, storage, portion control, and leftovers to cut waste. Reducing food waste saves consumers money, cuts greenhouse gas emissions and pressure on resources.
Paper Waste
This document discusses two approaches to paper purchasing and order mixing: mixing orders to buy paper versus buying paper to mix orders. Mixing orders to buy paper allows the system to find order combinations to run together to use wider paper widths. However, this can make it difficult to trace paper purchases and waste to specific items. Buying paper to mix orders involves analyzing items individually to select optimal paper widths upfront. This stabilizes consumption and makes waste and inventory strategies easier while still allowing for wider runs. The document advocates buying paper to mix orders for better control and cost/productivity.

causes of poverty in India
1. Poverty in India has many causes stemming from British colonial rule, including deindustrialization which led many artisans to abandon their professions and take up agriculture, increasing pressure on land.
2. The British policy of permanent land settlements and revenue collection impoverished peasants by creating absentee landlords with no incentive to invest in agriculture while peasants had to pay high rents, taxes, and interest to moneylenders.
3. Commercialization of agriculture in the late 1800s linked Indian farmers to volatile international markets, and they saw few benefits while facing risks of falling prices and debt.

Poverty In India
The Presentation deals with the various aspects of poverty in India and is made from a child's point of view..... Hope you like it......
Poverty in INDIA
Poverty is a complex problem with many causes and effects. The document defines poverty as a lack of basic needs like food, shelter, healthcare, and education. It discusses absolute poverty, which is not being able to afford minimum living requirements, versus relative poverty, which is defined in comparison to others. Common causes of poverty include population growth, underutilized resources, low agricultural productivity, and unemployment. The effects of poverty especially impact children, women, and education levels. The government of India has implemented various programs and schemes aimed at reducing poverty through rural employment, infrastructure development, and social welfare programs.

Poverty in india
Poverty in India is widespread, with over 300 million people expected to be lifted out of extreme poverty by 2015 according to a UN report. However, India still faces significant issues with malnutrition and hunger. A committee headed by Suresh Tendulkar developed a new methodology for calculating poverty in India that found over 350 million people lived below the poverty line in 2005. The document then discusses several root causes of poverty in India, including population growth, lack of irrigation and infrastructure in rural areas, unemployment, and social factors like the caste system. Overpopulation is seen as a major challenge exacerbating poverty in India. Improving agricultural productivity and reducing the development gap between states could help address poverty.
Potential of Papermaking Fibers
The document summarizes the effects of stock treatment, drying, and recycling on fiber properties. It discusses how mill pulps have shorter, less uniformly delignified fibers than laboratory pulps due to mechanical damage. Drying fibers causes further strength loss. Recycled fibers have even lower strength due to increased damage. Refining improves fiber bonding but also causes defects. Proper electrostatic conditions and minimizing turbulence can improve strength. Fiber fines and properties like length, fibrillation, and curl strongly influence paper strength.

Basics of wood, pulp and paper november 2012
The document discusses the process of transforming wood into pulp and paper. It describes how trees are debarked, chipped, and processed either mechanically or chemically to produce different types of pulp. Mechanical pulp retains lignin and produces lower quality paper while chemical pulp removes lignin and results in stronger paper but at lower yield. The document outlines the key steps to make both mechanical and chemical pulp and explains how different pulp types are suited for different paper applications.
Carbon foot print.ppt
A carbon footprint is a measure of the greenhouse gases produced through human activities, such as the use of electricity, transportation, and production of goods. It is quantified as the amount of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases emitted. An individual, organization, or nation's carbon footprint can be calculated through a greenhouse gas emissions assessment. Strategies to reduce carbon footprints include technological advances, process improvements, carbon offsetting projects, and decreasing energy usage or reliance on carbon-intensive fuels.

Life Ppt
The story is about a horseman who was told by the emperor that he could have ownership of all the land he could cover on his horse. He rode continuously for a long time, pushing himself and his horse to exhaustion, covering a large area of land. When he was dying of exhaustion, he realized he only needed a small plot of land to be buried in, and questioned why he had pushed himself so hard. Similarly in life, people push themselves hard every day to make money, gain power and recognition, neglecting their health, family and hobbies. One day they will look back and realize they didn't need as much as they thought, but cannot turn back time. The lesson is that life is about
Teenage Smoking Ppt.
Smoking refers to inhaling tobacco from cigarettes, cigars or pipes. It can lead to serious health issues like heart disease, cancer and strokes. While some teenagers are curious or want attention, smoking is not good for one's health or athletic performance. It is difficult to quit smoking once started. The document provides steps for quitting smoking and advice for saying no to peer pressure to smoke.
Poverty
The document discusses several key causes of poverty in India:
1) Heavy population pressure due to high birth rates has hindered economic development. India's population grew from 84.63 crores in 1991 to 102.87 crores in 2001.
2) Chronic unemployment and under employment result from continuous population growth. There is both educated unemployment and disguised unemployment.
3) A shortage of capital creates obstacles for developing industry, transportation, and other projects.
4) The Indian economy is underdeveloped with a low growth rate, which is a major cause of poverty.
Poverty in India
Poverty is a significant issue in India, with over 250 million people living below the international poverty line of $1.25 per day according to a 2012 report. One fifth of the world's poor live in South Asia, with 26% of Indians below the poverty line, mainly in rural areas. The document defines poverty and outlines its prevalence across Indian states, with over half of India's poor located in just three states: Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and Madhya Pradesh. Poverty in India is a historical problem that intensified under British rule but has declined in recent decades, though many still live close to the poverty line.
Smoking Presentation
Smoking has been widespread in Britain since the 16th century, though its health risks were not firmly established until the 1950s. Currently, about 12 million British adults smoke, with rates highest among younger people and those from manual socioeconomic groups. Smoking causes over 100,000 deaths per year in the UK due to increased risks of cancer, heart disease, and respiratory illness. While some believe there are benefits to smoking like stress relief, evidence shows smokers have higher stress levels and that smoking provides only temporary relief through addiction, not actual stress reduction.
Solid Waste Management
This document provides an overview of solid waste management. It begins with definitions of solid waste and municipal solid waste. It then discusses sources and types of municipal solid waste, as well as typical generation quantities. The key elements of municipal solid waste management systems are outlined, including collection, transfer, transport, disposal methods like landfilling and incineration, and the 4R concept of reduce, reuse, recycle, recover. Specific collection and disposal methods are described in more detail. The document also discusses the characteristics, composition and impact of municipal solid waste. A case study example is provided at the end to illustrate some of the concepts.
Maths
The environmental impact of paper production is significant, as the industry is one of the largest polluters of air, water, and land. Increased use of disposable paper led to high levels of consumption and waste. There is now a trend toward sustainability in the pulp and paper industry through reducing pollution, emissions, and impacts on local water and air quality. Paper production generates substantial emissions and pollution, and is a major contributor to deforestation and climate change through methane emissions from decomposing paper. Recycling and reducing paper use can help address these environmental impacts.

The benefits of recycling
The United States produces the most waste of any country, with each person generating 1,609 pounds of waste annually. This means that only 5% of the world's population creates 40% of global waste. However, much of this waste can be reduced through recycling various materials like paper, plastic, glass, aluminum and cardboard. Recycling these materials has numerous environmental benefits such as saving trees, energy and reducing pollution from materials that end up in oceans and landfills. It is important that everyone does their part to recycle and be good stewards of the earth for future generations.

The document discusses the environmental problems caused by deforestation and paper waste. It proposes that the SBMT university combat these issues by (1) having first-year students each plant a tree to help establish ecological balance, and (2) placing special bins around campus for collecting waste paper in order to extend the life of paper and save trees from being cut down. Recycling just one ton of paper can save resources like 17 trees, 380 gallons of oil, and 7000 gallons of water, representing a 64% energy savings and 60 pounds less air pollution. Simple measures like these can lead to incredible results. The proposal requests tree seedlings, trash bins, and support from students, teachers, and staff to implement the project
Recycling
Americans use large amounts of materials like aluminum cans, plastic bottles, paper, and yard waste each year, much of which could be recycled. Recycling these materials provides numerous benefits including energy savings, reduced pollution, and preservation of natural resources and trees. However, many people claim it is too inconvenient to recycle due to lack of access or time. In reality, recycling common items like aluminum, plastic, and paper is quite easy through curbside pickup or drop-off locations.
Going Green!
This document discusses ways for individuals and businesses to be more environmentally friendly. It provides statistics on waste generated by Americans and how reducing consumption of resources like water, electricity, and paper can save significant amounts of energy and money. Specific tips recommended include changing to energy efficient light bulbs, using energy star appliances, setting timers and motion sensors, reusing and recycling materials, and buying recycled office supplies. The document encourages businesses to implement green practices and inform customers about their sustainability efforts.
Samyak Veera
Americans generate a large amount of waste each year, with packaging making up about one-third of trash in landfills. Recycling various materials can significantly reduce energy usage and environmental pollution. Aluminum cans can be recycled and back on store shelves within 60 days, while recycling one aluminum can saves enough energy to run a TV for three hours. Paper recycling can save over 250,000,000 trees each year in the US, and recycling one ton of paper conserves resources and reduces air pollution. Plastic recycling would also help reduce the millions of plastic bottles thrown out daily and protect sea creatures from plastic pollution.
Go Green
Going green with technology involves properly recycling and reusing electronic components to prevent pollution and conserve resources. It also means companies making more energy efficient machines and using technology to save paper and go paperless. While recycling has benefits like preventing toxins from landfills and reclaiming valuable materials, it also has challenges like companies dumping used electronics in developing countries and potential for recycled materials to leak toxins. Many large companies are taking steps to be more environmentally friendly through initiatives like reducing paper usage, lowering emissions, and sourcing renewable energy. Recycling various materials saves significant amounts of energy compared to producing them from raw materials.
WASTE PAPER INTO PAPER DISHES
Ways to reduce paper consumption include recycling paper and using both sides of paper. Recycling paper saves trees from being cut down and reduces water and energy usage. Some specific ways to reduce paper use are to use cloth towels and rags instead of paper towels, avoid paper plates and cups, print only necessary pages from documents, and reformat documents to use smaller margins. Recycling paper and reducing unnecessary paper usage helps lessen environmental impacts.

Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.

The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.
