Chang Juu-en. Chang Juu-en (; born 1951) is a Taiwanese engineer who served as Minister of the Environmental Protection Administration from 2003 to 2005.

Early life and academic career
Chang was born in 1951 and raised on a farm in Taiwan. He earned a Ph.D in civil engineering from Tohoku University in Japan, after having studied at Taiwan's National Cheng Kung University (NCKU). Chang began teaching at NCKU in 1982, and was named deputy minister of the Environmental Protection Administration under the leadership of Hau Lung-pin in April 2001.

Environmental Protection Administration
Hau Lung-pin resigned from the Environmental Protection Administration on 1 October 2003, due to a disagreement on whether to implement referendum results despite concerns raised in a professional environmental impact assessment. Premier Yu Shyi-kun appointed Chang Juu-en to succeed Hau in an acting capacity after accepting Hau's resignation on 5 October.

Upon taking office, Chang pushed the government to build more incinerators, a recommendation that incited severe backlash across Taiwan. He made attempts to regulate the recycling of e-waste. Chang was criticized in 2004 for proposing an expensive three-year action plan during an election year, as it was not a guarantee that he would be retained. However, he kept his post after the election, and worked to clean the Fengshan River. Chang resigned in April 2005 and returned to teaching at 
National Cheng Kung University.

Cachoeira dos Patos Dam. The Cachoeira dos Patos Dam () is a proposed hydroelectric dam on the Jamanxim River in the state of Pará, Brazil.
Work has been delayed due to concern about environmental impact and lack of consultation with affected indigenous people.

Location

The Cachoeira dos Patos Dam is proposed to be built on the Jamanxim River in the state of Pará, in the Tapajós river basin.
It would be built in the municipality of Itaituba.
The hydroelectric power plant will be part of the proposed  Tapajós hydroelectric complex on the Tapajós and Jamanxim rivers.
Others are the São Luiz do Tapajós (6,133 MW), Jatobá (2,338 MW), Cachoeira do Cai (802 MW) and Jamanxim (881 MW), all under study, as well as the Jardim do Ouro (227 MW) and Chacorão (3,336 MW).

Technical

The Cachoeira dos Patos reservoir would have an area of .
The hydroelectric plant would have capacity of .
Estimated construction cost is US$829 million.

The project would be undertaken by a consortium of Eletrobras, Eletronorte, Construções e Comércio Camargo Côrrea, EDF Consultoria em Projetos de Geração de Energia, Endesa Brasil, EPP Energia Elétrica, Promoção e Participações, Intertechne Consultores Associados and Neoenergia Investimentos.
A "platform" approach is proposed for construction to minimise environmental impact.
There would be no access roads, and workers would be taken to the site by helicopter.
After construction is complete the site would be regenerated.

Impact

The Cachoeira dos Patos reservoir would flood  of the Jamanxim National Park and  of the Jamanxim National Forest.
It would also affect the area around the Tapajós Environmental Protection Area and the South Amazon Ecotones Ecological Corridor.
A study released in December 2015 took into account carbon and methane emissions from the reservoir and from construction and concluded that there was a high probability that the plant would generate emissions comparable to a natural gas plant.

Licensing

Eletronorte, Camargo Corrêa and CNEC Engenharia undertook hydraulic inventory studies of the Tapajós and Jamanxim Rivers, which were approved by the National Electric Energy Agency (Aneel) in 2009. That year Aneel approved the start feasibility studies of the Cachoeira dos Patos, to be delivered on 31 July 2011.
The deadline was later extended to 31 December 2013.
On 29 July 2013 the Federal Public Ministry recommended suspension of licensing of the Cachoeira dos Patos hydroelectric plant for the same reasons as other planned hydroelectric plants on the Tapajós, Teles Pires, Jamanxim and Juruena rivers.
They had not undertaken an Integrated Environmental Assessment and had not consulted with the affected indigenous peoples, both legal requirements.
The Ministry of the Environment informed the Federal Public Ministry in Santarém on 20 September 2013 that it had suspended licensing.

Octaethylporphyrin. Octaethylporphyrin (H2OEP) is an organic compound that is a relative of naturally occurring heme pigments.  The compound is used in the preparation of models for the prosthetic group in heme proteins.  It is a dark purple solid that is soluble in organic solvents.  As its conjugate base OEP2-, it forms a range of transition metal porphyrin complexes. When treated with ferric chloride in hot acetic acid solution, it gives the square pyramidal complex Fe(OEP)Cl.  It also forms the square planar complexes Ni(OEP) and Cu(OEP).

Contrast with other porphyrins
Unlike complexes of the naturally occurring porphyrins, OEP complexes have four-fold symmetry, which simplifies spectroscopic analysis.  In contrast to tetraphenylporphyrin and related analogues, H2OEP features unprotected meso positions.  In this way, it is a more accurate model for naturally occurring porphyrins.

Synthesis
H2OEP is prepared by condensation of 3,4-diethylpyrrole with formaldehyde.

Trash interceptor. A trash interceptor is a device in a river to collect and remove floating debris – before the debris flows out into a harbor, for instance.

Mr. Trash Wheel

Installed in May 2014, the water wheel trash interceptor known as Mr. Trash Wheel, officially the Inner Harbor Water Wheel, is the world's first permanent water wheel trash interceptor. It sits at the mouth of the Jones Falls River in Baltimore's Inner Harbor. A February 2015 agreement with a local waste-to-energy plant is believed to make Baltimore the first city to use reclaimed waterway debris to generate electricity.

The Jones Falls river watershed drains fifty-eight square miles of land outside of Baltimore and is a significant source of trash that enters the harbor. Garbage collected by Mr. Trash Wheel could come from anywhere in the watershed.  Operated by solar and hydro power, the wheel moves continuously, removing garbage and dumping it into an attached dumpster; its daily capacity is estimated at 25 tons.  In its first 18 months of operation, it removed more than 350 tons of litter from Baltimore's landmark and tourist attraction, including approximately 200,000 bottles, 173,000 potato chip bags, and 6.7 million cigarette butts. The water wheel has been very successful at trash removal, visibly decreasing the amount of garbage that collects in the harbor, especially after a rainfall.

After the success of Mr. Trash Wheel, the Waterfront Partnership raised money to build a second water wheel at the end of Harris Creek, an entirely piped stream that flows beneath Baltimore's Canton neighborhood and empties into the Baltimore Harbor. The planned new water wheel was inaugurated in December, 2016, and dubbed "Professor Trash Wheel". Two more trash wheels, "Captain Trash Wheel" and "Gwynnda the Good Wheel of the West", were added in 2018 and 2021 respectively.

River Thames passive debris collector 

There are several passive debris collectors (PDCs) on the River Thames in London, including one by the Houses of Parliament. Unlike Baltimore's Mr. Trash Wheel they are totally passive and any debris collected by them must be lifted out by the use of a crane-equipped boat.
