Characterization of Radionuclide Resuspension via Aeolian Processes at the Ambrosia Lake West Mill Facility

The Ambrosia Lake West Site is a former uranium recovery facility located north of Grants, New Mexico. It currently serves as a uranium mill tailings site undergoing reclamation and decommissioning. High velocity winds are common in the area, causing soil erosion via aeolian processes. Strong winds may carry soil for several kilometers which is redeposited downwind. This study estimates the potential for impact on remediation efforts caused by downwind contamination from soil-bound radionuclide resuspension. The study was performed by measuring the mass of soil moving onsite to determine horizontal saltating flux over the period of 3 months. Previous frameworks relating dimensional flux were used to estimate suspension flux from site-massed saltating flux. Utilizing concentrations of soil-bound radionuclides and meteorological data collected onsite, a modified Gaussian plume model estimating downwind deposition of contaminants was constructed. The highest deposition rate reported suggests millions of years of deposition are required to exceed the criterion for release, far longer than the anticipated release of the site in 2030. Based on the results, estimated impacts of wind-blown soil contamination were determined to be negligible

A proposed model integrating career education into the religion program of Saint Mary\u27s Academy, Pasay City

This study aims to propose a model using Religion to impart certain Christian attitudes and values that relate to career education through specific learning activities. The subjects of the study included 4 high school religion teachers and 7 grade school religion teachers of Saint Mary\u27s Academy, Pasay City in the school year 1975-76. The questionnaire developed for the religion teachers consisted of four parts. Data gathered from the survey indicated that it was possible to integrate career education into the religion program of Saint Mary\u27s Academy. It was found that certain concepts were applicable to certain grade level, although the order of presentation of these concepts differed per level. Also, specific activities were considered effective media for the integration of career education into the religion program of the school. These findings furnished guidelines for developing the proposed model integrating career education into the religion program of Saint Mary\u27s Academy. The model was confined to the career education concepts that could be related to Religion as a subject, and Christian attitude and values that could be linked with the career education concepts were also included. For the purposes of instruction, learning activities were suggested which could initiate the awareness and assimilation of Christian attitudes and values in the light of career education

February 2015: What Areas In Chicago Would Benefit From A Divvy Station?

Completed in GEO 441 – GIS for Community Development, Ryan Adriatico’s map depicts an analysis of access to low cost, public transit options with an emphasis on Divvy, Chicago’s first bike sharing program. Established in Chicago on June 28, 2013, Divvy is still growing, and this map will give context as to where the service needs to branch out. On top of being a low-cost alternative, Divvy also offers an option that has a low environmental impact, as it creates less vehicular transport, meaning less carbon emissions and congestion. Access to transportation is a common indicator of one’s quality of life, allowing people to go to work, school, and fulfill the basic needs of their daily lives. Without proper access to transportation, satisfying these basic needs would prove to be troublesome, especially for those in low income areas where vehicle ownership is less likely. What neighborhoods in Chicago, if any, would benefit most by the addition of a Divvy Station? This map was created using ESRI ArcGIS 10.2. Existing Divvy Stations, CTA Rail Stations, and Bus Stops were plotted to identify the scope of low cost public transit availability in Chicago. Utilizing demographic data from the City of Chicago Data Portal, neighborhoods within Chicago that have over 25% of their population living below the poverty line were identified as communities that are in great need of these low cost transit options. With these regions delineated, 0.5 mile buffers were created around all existing transit locations (excluding buses since their service is expansive and adds to congestion and CO2 emission issues) to depict the areas within these neighborhoods that are well served within a walkable distance to transit. Combining all of this data, neighborhoods that are underserved by transit options with over 25% of their population living below the poverty line were highlighted in red to indicate areas that could benefit from a Divvy Station. All of these regions are on the South and West side of the city. As it stands, Divvy is more concentrated on the north side of the city. Divvy should strive to serve these communities in order to give them a low-cost transit option with a low environmental impact moving forward. The following community areas would benefit the most from new Divvy Stations: Armour Square, Douglas, Riverdale, Auburn Gresham, Englewood, South Chicago, Austin, Fuller Park, South Deering, Bronzeville, Grand Crossing, South Shore, Burnside, Lower West Side, Washington Park, Chatham, New City, West Pullman, Chicago Lawn, North Lawndale, Woodlawn, Chinatown, Oakland.https://via.library.depaul.edu/mom/1019/thumbnail.jp

An integrated marketing communications campaign for Belo men soap

This P15 million integrated communications campaign was designed as an introductory launch of Belo Men soap, a product of the Belo Men line. This campaign will run on continuous weights from May to July and the target market is expected to become aware and appreciate the benefits of Belo Men soap by the end of the 3- month campaign. Women are not the only ones who want to look physically attractive nowadays. Men, however, put a minimal amount of attention to the skin care products they use. Hence, they tend to settle for products offered by our competitors: Safeguard, Vaseline, Bioderm, Green Cross and Johnson & Johnson. The big idea is that There are some things that should not be shared . And the themeline is Have your own . We targeted the males from ages 20 to 30 from the socio- economic classes upper C to B. Print, ambient, billboard, activation, and event are the media vehicles used for the whole campaign. Using above the line and below the line efforts, this campaign aims to make the stated target audience aware that they have different needs. Therefore, they should change their habits of using communal soaps and we subsequently introduce Belo Men soap as a brand that will cater to their specific needs
