Approaches for Low-Impact Groundwater Remediation

Approaches for Low-Impact Groundwater Remediation Authors Mr. Tim Grant - United States - SynTerra Corporation Mrs. Kathy Webb - United States - SynTerra Corporation Mrs. Tammy Jett - United States - SynTerra Corporation Mr. Bill Miller - United States - SynTerra Corporation Mr. Bruce Hensel - United States - Electric Power Research Institute Abstract Large-scale groundwater remediation systems can have unintended, negative impacts on the local ecosystem and broader environment. Those impacts could result from greenhouse gas emissions, ecosystem disturbance, and groundwater depletion during remediation system implementation and operation, among others. Low-impact groundwater remediation approaches may provide equivalent or superior environmental outcomes when constituent concentrations associated with coal combustion products (CCP) management units require corrective action but do not pose unacceptable risk to human health or the environment, large-scale groundwater remediation systems would be difficult or especially disruptive to implement, or other site characteristics (remote location, limiting geology, etc.) inhibit the feasibility of large-scale groundwater remediation. Some remedial technologies are inherently less impactful than others, and impacts associated with conventional remediation approaches can be reduced through careful selection, design, and implementation. To justify selection of low-impact groundwater remediation approaches, site geology and hydrogeology, nature and extent of constituent migration, risk to receptors, current and future land use, and CCP unit status are characterized and evaluated. Case studies are presented demonstrating the selection and implementation of several low-impact groundwater remediation approaches, including focused (hot spot) treatment, operating remediation systems using solar power, pulse pumping, phytomanagement, passive hydraulic control, and in situ treatment

CORRELATIONS AMONG GRAIN CHARACTERISTICS USED TO DETERMINE THE EFFECTS OF ROUGH RICE STORAGE TIME AND TEMPERATURE ON AROMATIC RICE QUALITY

Summary statistics and corresponding Spearman correlation coefficients are illustrated for various subsets of aromatic rough rice storage time and temperature data from (a) the College Station texture sensory panel, (b) the New Orleans aroma and flavor sensory panel, and (c) the Beaumont USDA-ARS Rice Quality Laboratory. These correlations represent the inclinations of seemingly-related measures of several attributes to "move together," acting as an indicator of their associations with or impacts on one another.Crop Production/Industries,

Distributed Creativity in Play

International audienceOur objective is to explore distributed forms of creativity that arise in play to help guide and foster supportive research, game design, and technology. This workshop seeks to bring together researchers, game designers, and others to examine theories of creativity and play, game design practices, methods for studying creativity in play, and creative play experiences. Participants will present work, video prototype, discuss topics, and contribute to outcomes

An Orphan CpG Island Drives Expression of a let-7 miRNA Precursor with an Important Role in Mouse Development.

Most human genes are associated with promoters embedded in non-methylated, G + C-rich CpG islands (CGIs). Not all CGIs are found at annotated promoters, however, raising the possibility that many serve as promoters for transcripts that do not code for proteins. To test this hypothesis, we searched for novel transcripts in embryonic stem cells (ESCs) that originate within orphan CGIs. Among several candidates, we detected a transcript that included three members of the let-7 micro-RNA family: Let-7a-1, let-7f-1, and let-7d. Deletion of the CGI prevented expression of the precursor RNA and depleted the included miRNAs. Mice homozygous for this mutation were sub-viable and showed growth and other defects. The results suggest that despite the identity of their seed sequences, members of the let-7 miRNA family exert distinct functions that cannot be complemented by other members
