DORSET RENEWABLE INDUSTRIES - COMMUNITY UPDATE 2014sgiblett
Dorset Renewable Industries Pty Ltd is a community focussed enterprise aimed at developing new industries in the Dorset region of Tasmania's North East. By investing in the region's renewable resources, DRI will build community resilience, environmental sustainability, local skills and innovation.
The project supported the construction of shelters for returning refugees and internally displaced people in South Sudan following decades of civil war. Over 17 months, 8,300 shelters were built using two main designs - 6,800 bamboo and thatch shelters and 1,500 shelters made of compressed mud blocks. The project faced challenges including delays in block production, rising construction costs, and coordination across multiple partners and authorities. However, it provided durable housing for vulnerable families and introduced compressed mud blocks as a more sustainable building material for the region.
Recent Presentation focusing on LEED-ND applications for Local Governments. This was followed by two presentations fromt eh city of El Paso, TX and Lakewood CO on how they are using ND. Once on the web we will post the link to them at www.c2sustainability.com
The document discusses the LEED-ND pilot rating system, which evaluates the sustainability of neighborhood developments. It combines principles of smart growth, new urbanism, and green building. The rating system has 4 categories and 106 total points. Projects can be certified, silver, gold, or platinum. While the system encourages compact, mixed-use projects near transit, some prerequisites like wetland conservation and minimum densities are challenging. The Village at Taylor Pond case study aims to achieve LEED-ND certification for its residential and retail development on a previously industrial site in Massachusetts.
This document summarizes research on rotator cuff tendinopathy (SRCT). It discusses histopathological classifications of SRCT and findings from examining tissue samples from 65 patients. Key findings include:
1. Samples showed degeneration ranging from mild (Grade II) to severe (Grade IV) based on the Riley classification scale.
2. Neoangiogenesis and vascular responses play an important role in repair capabilities. Normal neoangiogenesis was observed but also abnormal forms with microhemorrhages.
3. Nodular neoangiogenesis clusters near tendon areas showed organized architecture and collagen synthesis, while diffuse neoangiogenesis was infiltrative with more microhemorrhages.
4.
This document summarizes an RFID tag called MAGICSTRAP®. It is very small, measuring just 3.2 x 1.6 mm, which allows it to be placed nearly anywhere. It contains its own antenna and can be read from distances comparable to standard RFID tags even without an external antenna connected. The MAGICSTRAP® uses specialized materials and a 3D multi-layer matching circuit to achieve these compact dimensions and performance. It has received awards for its innovations and excellence as a passive RFID product.

1. Extracorporeal shockwave therapy is an effective treatment for bone non-unions and delayed unions, achieving healing rates of over 70% according to clinical studies.
2. The mechanism of action involves stimulating osteoblastic activity and new blood vessel formation at the treatment site through a stromal cell response.
3. Proper patient selection and stabilization of the treatment area after shockwave therapy is important for success. Younger, hypertrophic non-unions tend to have better outcomes than older, atrophic cases.

This document discusses the risks of interest rate swaps that became apparent during the financial crisis of 2008. It outlines four major risks: counterparty risk when financial institutions like Lehman Brothers and AIG faced difficulties; basis risk when bond rates increased due to problems in the banking sector; rollover risk as the crisis eliminated providers of liquidity facilities; and collateral posting risk as rates moved beyond historical norms. Charts show the increases in Treasury yields and swap spreads during this period. The conclusion recommends issuing fixed rate bonds and swapping to a floating rate to avoid risks associated with bank support.
