Monoslope buildings (Figure 1) are one type of roofed and confined cattle feeding facility that is becoming increasingly popular in the Northern Great Plains. However, little is known about the impact of these housing systems and associated manure management methods on the air quality inside and outside the barn. The objective of this study was to determine gas concentrations in monoslope beef cattle facilities and relate these concentrations to environmental and manure management factors.
This document compares the costs of Januvia across six health insurance plans, including the carrier tier, patient copay, whether the drug is subject to the deductible, the plan's drug deductible, and the approximate annual cost. Plan B does not cover Januvia, while plans A and C have $55-50 copays and are not subject to deductibles, resulting in $700-600 annual costs. Plans D, E, and F have higher copays of $215-129 but are subject to drug deductibles of $500-$5,000, leading to higher annual costs of $1,300-$3,900.

The document summarizes an experiment that investigated the effects of temperature on the developmental rates and metabolic rates of Junonia coenia caterpillars. Caterpillars were placed in three tanks with different temperatures - low (20°C), medium (27°C), and high (32.5°C). Metabolic and developmental rates were highest in the high temperature tank. The experiment found that temperature influences metabolic and developmental rates in J. coenia, with higher rates occurring at higher temperatures.
This document describes research on the controlled self-assembly of multiferroic core-shell nanoparticles exhibiting strong magneto-electric effects. Key points:
1) Nickel ferrite and barium titanate nanoparticles were functionalized with complementary coupling groups and allowed to self-assemble via "click" chemistry reaction to form core-shell structures.
2) Electron microscopy and magnetic force microscopy confirmed the core-shell structure of the assembled nanoparticles.
3) Magnetic and ferroelectric properties of the composite were verified via measurements. Magneto-electric characterization revealed 3.8-4.9% change in remnant polarization under static magnetic fields, indicating strong magneto-electric coupling.

The document discusses a city council workshop about proposed water and wastewater impact fees. It provides an overview of the impact fee schedule, calculations for determining the maximum allowable fees, benchmark fees from other cities, comments from an advisory committee, and the staff's recommended fees. The staff recommends lower fees than the maximums to avoid hindering development and leave room for future road impact fees, and they believe the impact fees will help fund needed infrastructure improvements and potentially stimulate growth.
The document provides a quarterly report on the results of the California Carpet Stewardship Program for Q2 2021. It includes an overview of key metrics like the recycling rate, sales figures, expenses, and fund balances. It also provides updates on the drop-off site program, recommendations for approval of subsidy payouts and expenses, and a discussion of ongoing education/outreach, collection, grants, and communications efforts.
The City Council will consider adopting new water and wastewater impact fees at their September 22nd meeting. Staff have completed the necessary studies to calculate maximum allowable fees and are recommending fees significantly lower. The recommended fees are estimated to generate $32.4 million over 10 years to fund $200 million in needed capital projects while keeping utility rate increases lower than otherwise needed. A public hearing will be held before the Council takes action on the impact fee ordinance.
PPT Item # 7 - Water Surcharge Fee Amendmentahcitycouncil
The assistant city manager is presenting proposed updates to water restrictions and groundwater surcharge fees to reduce water consumption. The proposals include establishing stricter groundwater surcharge fees that increase for higher levels of usage above account thresholds set at the top 25% of users. Fees would be deposited into the utility fund and used for drought management, water rights, and conservation efforts. Approval of the updated fees would help the city comply with its reduced allotment from the Edward Aquifer Authority and reduce the risk of fines.

Presentation by Stu Feinglas, Senior Water Resources Analyst at City of Westminster, at the 2018 Gulf Coast Water Conservation Symposium in Houston, Texas.
The document summarizes Austin Water's financial impacts and response to the Central Texas drought from 2008-2015. It describes how extreme drought conditions led to long-term water restrictions that significantly reduced water demand and caused revenue losses of up to $52 million per year. In response, Austin Water implemented a new financial model with tiered fixed fees, increased the fixed revenue percentage, established a reserve fund, and raised rates gradually to stabilize finances and improve bond ratings. The future outlook has improved now that drought conditions have eased.

GreenHome NYC is pleased to announce their February 17 monthly forum, The Women of Green, at a location to be determined. In this 1.5 hour presentation, attendees will meet 12 women in the green field, established professionals who are trying and succeeding in changing the environmental movement. The presentation will be done in Pecha Kucha format, where each presenter is allowed 20 images, each shown for 20 seconds - giving 6 minutes 40 seconds of fame before the next presenter is up. This keeps presentations concise, the interest level up, and gives more people the chance to present. This is a forum for women (and maybe well-behaved men) to see the breadth of careers in the sustainable field that don’t involve what we like to call the green “bling” (ground source heat pumps, solar, wind, bamboo, green roofs, and the like).
This will be held as the regular monthly forum meeting of GreenHomeNYC (www.greenhomenyc.org) an all- volunteer organization dedicated to helping people in the NYC region green their lives. It is being done in cooperation with Hunter’s CUNY Institute for Sustainable Cities;
Admission is free but attendees can make a tax-deductable contribution to GreenHomeNYC at the forum.

This document discusses sustainable and affordable housing options in the Midwest. It finds that while over 180,000 energy star certified and 130,000 LEED certified multi-family units have been built in the US, the Heartland region of Nebraska and Iowa have fewer such units relative to population. Developing energy efficient housing through standards like Energy Star, LEED, and Passive House can provide financial benefits to developers and tenants through incentives, higher property values, and reduced energy costs, but many in the region are not taking advantage of these opportunities.
PPT Item # 4 - Water Restrictions Amendmentahcitycouncil
- The document discusses proposed updates to the city's water restriction strategies and municipal code based on recent high water consumption and feedback from council and public meetings. It includes incorporating a Stage 5 water restriction, enhancing enforcement of violations, and revising the groundwater use surcharge fee threshold and calculation methodology.
- Water usage in 2023 has been the highest since 2011 and projected pumping amounts would exceed the city's allotment from the Edward Aquifer Authority. The proposed changes aim to reduce water usage and avoid penalties from the EAA.
PPT Item # 12 & 13 - Groundwater Use Reduction Program & Feesahcitycouncil
- The city exclusively uses groundwater from the Edwards Aquifer Authority (EAA) which regulates usage and enacts restrictions during drought
- An amendment is proposed to add further restrictions on water usage for Stages 4 and 5 of drought along with a new groundwater surcharge fee
- The amendment and fee are aimed at helping the city reduce water usage by 40% as required under Stage 4 restrictions recently enacted by EAA
The document summarizes the financial challenges facing the city of Cedar Falls and the actions under consideration by the budget taskforce. It notes that personnel costs make up 63% of the general fund budget and that maintaining a 2% annual salary increase would require $49 million in new growth annually.

Recycling and Disposal on SWM Raymond Einyu pptxRayLetai1
Increasing urbanization, rural–urban migration, rising standards of living, and rapid development associated with population growth have resulted in increased solid waste generation by industrial, domestic and other activities in Nairobi City. It has been noted in other contexts too that increasing population, changing consumption patterns, economic development, changing income, urbanization and industrialization all contribute to the increased generation of waste.
With the increasing urban population in Kenya, which is estimated to be growing at a rate higher than that of the country’s general population, waste generation and management is already a major challenge. The industrialization and urbanization process in the country, dominated by one major city – Nairobi, which has around four times the population of the next largest urban centre (Mombasa) – has witnessed an exponential increase in the generation of solid waste. It is projected that by 2030, about 50 per cent of the Kenyan population will be urban.
Aim:
A healthy, safe, secure and sustainable solid waste management system fit for a world – class city.
Improve and protect the public health of Nairobi residents and visitors.
Ecological health, diversity and productivity and maximize resource recovery through the participatory approach.
Goals:
Build awareness and capacity for source separation as essential components of sustainable waste management.
Build new environmentally sound infrastructure and systems for safe disposal of residual waste and replacing current dumpsites which should be commissioned.
Current solid waste management situation:
The status.
Solid waste generation rate is at 2240 tones / day
collection efficiently is at about 50%.
Actors i.e. city authorities, CBO’s , private firms and self-disposal
Current SWM Situation in Nairobi City:
Solid waste generation – collection – dumping
Good Practices:
• Separation – recycling – marketing.
• Open dumpsite dandora dump site through public education on source separation of waste, of which the situation can be reversed.
• Nairobi is one of the C40 cities in this respect , various actors in the solid waste management space have adopted a variety of technologies to reduce short lived climate pollutants including source separation , recycling , marketing of the recycled products.
• Through the network, it should expect to benefit from expertise of the different actors in the network in terms of applicable technologies and practices in reducing the short-lived climate pollutants.
Good practices:
Despite the dismal collection of solid waste in Nairobi city, there are practices and activities of informal actors (CBOs, CBO-SACCOs and yard shop operators) and other formal industrial actors on solid waste collection, recycling and waste reduction.
Practices and activities of these actor groups are viewed as innovations with the potential to change the way solid waste is handled.
CHALLENGES:
• Resource Allocation.
Evolving Lifecycles with High Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC) and 3-D...Joshua Orris
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.
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.
Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.
Kinetic studies on malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solutions by A...Open Access Research Paper
Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.
Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...Joshua Orris
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.
ENVIRONMENT~ Renewable Energy Sources and their future prospects.tiwarimanvi3129
This presentation is for us to know that how our Environment need Attention for protection of our natural resources which are depleted day by day that's why we need to take time and shift our attention to renewable energy sources instead of non-renewable sources which are better and Eco-friendly for our environment. these renewable energy sources are so helpful for our planet and for every living organism which depends on environment.

Climate Change All over the World .pptxsairaanwer024
Climate change refers to significant and lasting changes in the average weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It encompasses both global warming driven by human emissions of greenhouse gases and the resulting large-scale shifts in weather patterns. While climate change is a natural phenomenon, human activities, particularly since the Industrial Revolution, have accelerated its pace and intensity
