Energy and Natural Resources

This chapter evaluates the potential impacts of the proposed project’s Technology and Marine Terminal Alternatives and a No-Action Alternative, as well as the related actions, on energy and natural resources. The construction and operation of the proposed project and alternatives would create new demands for energy in the forms of electricity and natural gas, and would consume building materials, fuel, and other natural resources. This assessment describes the existing energy demand of the project site, identifies the current energy providers, estimates the projected energy demand of the proposed project and alternatives, and assesses whether the current service providers could accommodate the projected energy demand.
A reserve risk model for a non-life insurance company

The aim of the study is the assessment of the reserve risk for a non-life insurance company that writes two different lines of business; the focus is on the determination of the current estimates incorporated in the measurement of the liabilities (in some jurisdictions referred to as technical provisions or actuarial reserves) of insurance contracts (without risk margins) through a Bayesian stochastic methodology and on the possible methods for the determination of risk margins above current estimates appropriate for the measurement of the liabilities for insurance contracts for regulatory and general purpose financial reports. A new formula for the calculation of the latter is proposed, analyzing its potential advantages in comparison with the existing ones. In order to determine the risk margin the reserve risk is calibrated on a one year time horizon considering both the case of independence between lines of business and the case of dependence.

A thinned lithosphere beneath coastal area of southeastern China as evidenced by seismic receiver functions

During Mesozoic to Cenozoic time, the large-scale tectono-magmatism had strongly modified the lithosphere beneath the southeastern continent of China, leaving the present-day lithosphere as a new one evolving from the ancient lithosphere that was largely removed and replaced. But this model proposed from geochemical and petrological research is urgently in need of support from seismic observational evidence. In this paper, based on the dataset recorded by the dense stations of two NE oriented broadband seismic profiles deployed in the coastal area of southeastern China(SE China), both P-wave(P-RF) and S-wave(S-RF) receiver functions were isolated. We identified Pls phase converted from the Lithosphere-Asthenosphere Boundary(LAB) in P-RFs of individual stations. Migrated Pls phase indicated a depth of 60–70 km for LAB. Inversions/comparisons of P-RF(Pls phase) and S-RF(Slp phase) waveforms together with Ps and Sp imaging for the crust and upper mantle structure further confirmed this result. P-RF and S-RF migrated images exhibit that a flat LAB is positioned at the depth of 60–70 km spreading along the profile, whereas a distinct structural change of lithospheric base appears at the Min River estuary. Both Ps and PpPs migrated images of P-RFs present an abrupt Moho drop across the Min River fault from south to north, which is consistent with previous result obtained from deep seismic sounding. By taking into consideration other geological and geophysical features such as locally high anomalies of crustal Poisson's ratios and heat flow at the Min River estuary, we infer that the Min River fault penetrates down to the Moho and may, furthermore, interfere in the deeper lithospheric structure.
Macro-nutrient uptake dynamics in greenhouse tomato crop

ABSTRACT This study verified the concentration over time of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and sulfur (N, P, K, Ca, Mg, and S) in the leaves, stems, fruits, and roots of tomato plants. An indeterminate growth variety with ball-type fruits suited for greenhouse cultivation was used. The results showed that the distribution of minerals in the different organs of the plant varies over time. The minerals N, P, and K showed a tendency to decrease their concentration, while the concentration of Ca and S increased and that of Mg remained constant over time. The leaves had the highest concentrations of N, P, K, Ca, and Mg. The concentrations of K, for both leaf and stem, ranged between 20 and 30 g kg−1. N and K were the most extracted minerals, while P was the least extracted mineral. The information presented in this paper allows a better fertilization plan for growing tomatoes inside greenhouses.
CO2 Adsorption by Amine-Functionalized MCM-41: A Comparison between Impregnation and Grafting Modification Methods

Modifications by impregnation and grafting are commonly used for the preparation of amine-functionalized MCM-41. A comprehensive evaluation of the advantages and disadvantages of the two methods was performed in this work. MCM-41 was synthesized by the hydrothermal method, setting the amine-loading mass fraction at 40, 50, and 60 wt %. Three amine-modified adsorbents were prepared by impregnating polyethylenimine (PEI), and the three other adsorbents were prepared by grafting 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTS) onto MCM-41. The as-prepared adsorbents were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and N2 adsorption–desorption techniques. CO2 adsorption capacities were measured, and the experimental data were fitted with adsorption kinetic models. The cyclic stability of the adsorbents prepared by the two kinds of amine-modified methods was compared using the cyclic adsorption–desorption experiments. The characteriz.
Chemical Properties in Macroaggregates of a Humic Dystrudept Cultivated with Onion under No-Till and Conventional Tillage Systems

ABSTRACT: Nutrients present in soil aggregates are essential for maintaining the productive capacity of agroecosystems and environmental quality. The aim of this study was to evaluate the chemical properties of macroaggregates of a Humic Dystrudept cultivated with onions under a no-till vegetable system (NTVS) compared to the conventional tillage system (CTS) and a forest area in Ituporanga, SC, Brazil. The treatments consisted of the following single and mixed cover crops with onion under the NTVS: spontaneous vegetation, 100 % black oats, 100 % rye, 100 % oilseed radish, intercropped oilseed radish (14 %) + rye (86 %), and intercropped oilseed radish (14 %) + black oat (86 %). Additionally, we evaluated two areas, one with onion grown under the CTS for ±37 years and an area under forest for ±30 years, both adjacent to the experiment. Five years after implementation of the treatments with cover crops, we collected undisturbed soil samples at depths of 0.00-0.05, 0.05-0.10, and 0.10-0.20 m, and we obtained macroaggregates (8.00 mm > O ≥ 2.0 mm). We analyzed total organic carbon (TOC), pH in water, Ca
Social Class and (Un)Ethical Behavior

Differences in ethical behavior between members of the upper and lower classes have been at the center of civic debates in recent years. In this article, we present a framework for understanding how class affects ethical standards and behaviors. We apply the framework using data from a large Dutch population sample. The data include objective measures of class, survey responses relating to ethical behavior, and results from an experiment designed to probe ethical choices. Ethical behavior proves to be affected by (a) moral values, (b) social orientation, and (c) the costs and benefits of taking various actions. Strong class differences emerge in each of these areas, leading to differences in behavior. Moreover, strong differences among different conceptions of class (wealth, education, etc.) produce additional variation. We argue that the relationship between class and ethical behavior is far from a simple pattern; it is a complex mosaic.
Azobenzene-based liquid crystal dimers and the twist-bend nematic phase

ABSTRACT The synthesis and characterisation of two new sets of non-symmetric liquid crystal dimers is reported, the 1-(4-substitutedazobenzene-4′-yloxy)-6-(4-cyanobiphenyl-4′-yl)hexanes (CB6OABX) and 1-(4-substitutedazobenzene-4′-yloxy)-6-(4-cyanobiphenyl-4′-yloxy)pentanes (CBO5OABX). The terminal substituents are methyl, methoxy, butyl, butyloxy, nitrile and nitro. All the CB6OABX dimers exhibit twist-bend nematic (NTB) and nematic (N) phases. The CBO5OABX dimers also all show an N phase but only the butyl and butyloxy homologues exhibit the NTB phase. The transitional behaviour of the non-symmetric dimers is compared to that of the corresponding symmetric dimers, the 1,5-bis(4-substitutedazobenzene-4′-yloxy)pentanes (XABO5OABX) and either 1,7-bis(4-cyanobiphenyl-4′-yl)heptane or 1,5-bis(4-cyanobiphenyl-4′-yloxy)pentane. The XABO5OABX dimers all show a nematic phase and in addition, the butyl homologue exhibits a smectic A phase. The difference in transitional behaviour between the CB6OABX and CBO5OABX dimers is attributed to the difference in their molecular shapes arising from different bond angles between the para axis of the cyanobiphenyl unit and the first bond in the spacer. Specifically, the all-trans conformation of a CBO5OABX dimer is more linear than that of the corresponding CB6OABX dimer. Differences within each set of dimers are attributed to changes in the average molecular shape and the strength of the mixed mesogen interaction on varying the terminal group. Crystal structures are reported for CB6OABOMe, CBO5OABNO2 and MeOABO5OABOMe. Graphical Abstract

Multistage Fractional Crystallization in the Continental Arc Magmatic System: Constraints from the Appinites in Tengchong Block, Southeastern Extension of Tibet

The petrogenesis and evolution process of continental arc magmatism provide insight into discovering the formation and differentiation of continental crust. Therefore, the geochemical, isotopic, and mineralogical analyses were conducted for coeval continental arc igneous rocks in the Tengchong Block to clarify their evolution process in the continental arc magmatic systems. The Middle Triassic appinites in the Tengchong Block, southeastern extension of Tibet, were generated at the subduction setting with zircon U-Pb age of ca. 243 Ma. The Nb/Yb, Zr/Yb, and Ta/Yb ratios along with depleted zircon Hf isotopic compositions indicate a source with an N-MORB affinity for the appinites. However, relatively enriched whole-rock Sr-Nd isotopic compositions with the characteristic of high Sr/Nd, Ba/Th, Th/La, and Th/Nd ratios suggest the source was metasomatized by ~2% subducted sediment-derived fluid. According to the REE ratios modeling, the primary magma of Nabang appinites was due to 5-10% partial melting of such metasomatized mantle source. The appinites are characterized by variable compositions, such as SiO2 contents of 47.82-61.74 wt. % and MgO of 10.61-2.61 wt. %, which resulted from the polybaric and multistage fractional crystallization of a slightly hydrous primary magma in a thick crust. At lower crustal pressures, clinopyroxene was the main fractionating phase, and at middle crustal pressures, amphibole+magnetite were the dominant fractionating phases; predominant plagioclase fractionation occurred at the magma emplacement level. This process could be an effective mechanism to induce the differentiation of continental crust. The fractionation of clinopyroxene and amphibole, accompanied by suppressing plagioclase at lower-middle crustal pressures, induces the high alumina in the evolved melt and forms high-alumina basaltic to andesitic magma.
Training Supervisors to Provide Feedback Using Video Modeling

Training Supervisors to Provide Feedback Using Video Modeling Natalie Jones Shuler Supervisors commonly use feedback to teach staff members to accurately implement behavioral interventions. However, few studies have evaluated methods to teach supervisors to provide effective feedback. In the current study, we used a multiple-baseline design to evaluate the use of video modeling to train four supervisors to provide performance feedback to therapists working with children with autism. We assessed the supervisors’ accuracy with implementing eight feedback component skills (e.g., behavior-specific praise, describing incorrect performance, demonstrating correct performance) during simulated role-plays before and after the video-modeling intervention. Following the intervention, we assessed the extent to which the supervisors’ skills generalized when providing feedback on a confederate therapist’s implementation of novel behavioral protocols and an actual therapist’s implementation of protocols with a child with autism. Results showed that all supervisors implemented the feedback component-skills with increased accuracy following the video-modeling intervention. Additionally, supervisors’ skills generalized to providing feedback on novel protocols and to an actual therapist. These results suggest that video modeling may be an effective method of training supervisors to provide performance feedback. iii TRAINING SUPERVISORS TO PROVIDE FEEDBACK USING VIDEO MODELING Acknowledgements I would like to thank my thesis chair and advisor, Dr. Regina Carroll for her guidance and support while I completed this thesis.

Seaweeds as Biomonitoring System for Heavy Metal (HM) Accumulation and Contamination of Our Oceans

This research manuscript reports the heavy metal accumulation in four marine seaweeds sp. 1) Caulerpa sertlatioides (Cuba); 2) Caulerpa cf. brachypus; (Bali, Indonesia); 3) Undaria pinnatifida (West-Donegal, Ireland); 4) Ulva lactuca (Easters-Scheldt, the Netherlands). Mechanical pressure at 10 bar of fresh seaweed fronds casu quo biomass in the laboratory delivered seaweed moisture which was analyzed by Inductively Coupled Plasma Spectroscopy (ICP)-techniques for heavy-metals = [HM], (Al, As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mo, Ni, Pb & Zn). Three important observations were made: 1) The [HM] in the seaweed moisture is higher than in the surrounding seawater which directs to mechanism(s) of bio-accumulation; 2) The accumulation factor [AF] is varying per metallic-cation with an overall trend for our four seaweeds and sampling locations for [HM] are: As & Co & Cu: 5000 - 10,000 μg/l; Ni & Zn: 3000 - 5000 μg/l; Cd: 2000 - 3000 μg/l; Cr: 1000 - 2000 μg/l; Al: 200 - 1000 μg/l; Mo & Pb & Fe: 0 - 200 μg/l range. 3) Seaweed moisture detected that [HM]: Pb & Zn & Fe—which all three could not be detected in the seawater—supports the view that seaweeds have a preference in their bio-accumulation mechanism for these three HM. Major conclusion is in general that “overall” for the macro-elements Ca, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Na, P & S in the moisture of the four seaweed species the concentration is lower in the seaweed species, or equals the concentration, in comparison to the surrounding sea water. For the HM (Al, As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Mo, Ni, Pb & Zn) the opposite is the case species and is the concentration “overall” higher in the seaweed species in comparison to the surrounding sea water. Further topics addressed include strategies of irrigation of the Sahara desert with the moisture out of seaweeds under conditions of low anthropogenic influences.
Impact of sulfur fertilization on distribution of sulfur fractions and use efficiency in blackgram in subtropical acidic soil of Assam, India

ABSTRACT A field experiment was conducted to assess the effect of sulfur (S) fertilization on distribution of S in soil and use efficiency on blackgram in subtropical Inceptisol of acidic soil of Assam, India. Five levels of S were applied (0, 10, 20, 30 and 40 kg S ha−1) along with recommended dose of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. Available S content gradually decreased with the advancement of crop growth stages and lowest value was observed at 60 DAS. Different S fractions were found to increase with increasing levels of S application and 40 kg S ha−1 resulted the highest content for all S fractions. The grain and stover yield of blackgram increased significantly up to 20 kg S ha−1 which was 95.69% higher over control. Agronomic efficiency, apparent S recovery and recovery efficiency of S were higher at 10 kg S ha−1and found decreased with increase in level of S.
