A 5 page discussion of the societal responsibilities of an electronic engineer in ensuring the most appropriate disposal methods for hazardous wastes. Written from the perspective of an electrical engineer who has worked for a Canadian regulatory agency for five years, this paper emphasizes the importance of staying abreast of the most recent developments in hazardous waste disposal as well as the latest advancements in electrical engineering such as the utilization of ground penetrating radar which employs synthetic aperture, digital signal processing, image processing and visualization techniques. This entails being able to work within a multidisciplinarian environment, and remaining convicted to the best choice of disposal methods despite public opinion or pressures from outside sources. Bibliography lists 2 sources. A 4 page critique of an article reporting a possible synergistic effect of certain chemicals on mammalian reproduction.
Bibliography lists two sources.
An 11 page overview of the order Rodentia with particular emphasis on their role in disease transmission and the consequent need for control. Discusses pesticides and the need for alternative management measures which have fewer adverse impacts to non-targeted species. A 13 page paper discussing termites from ecological and research perspectives. Ubiquitous creatures, termites are found literally all over the world except in its coldest regions Alaska is the only state of the Union without some form of known termite activity. There had been surprisingly little research done until only the last several years, but the path of that research has differed from that of other disciplines in that nearly all of it has pointed and specific purpose, and not all of that in control measures.
