Waste Water Treatment in New Hampshire: Analysis of Nitrogen Treatment in the Great Bay Community

This thesis addresses and analyzes the challenge of high nitrogen levels in treated wastewater. As fresh water supplies are decreasing, demand for water usage is increasing, as are pollution levels. Wastewater treatment plants are designed to improve the quality of wastewater and allow for future reuse. Although reusing wastewater was initially an innovative solution, many of the treatment plants that were built thirty years ago are now reaching the end of their useful life. This research focuses on the Great Bay community in New Hampshire and analyses the existing systems and accomplishments. Future projects are identified, as well as proposals and prospective developments. The basis of this research is to identify cost effective methods to reduce the levels of nitrogen that are present in the waters of the three municipalities which cover the Great Bay community

Strikes on Central Ave- The Closure of Brockway Motor Trucks and the End of Huskietown, USA

My essay discusses the end of Brockway Motor Company in Cortland, New York in 1977 and the events that lead to the shutdown of one of America\u27s most dependable and iconic brands of heavy duty trucks. The death of Brockway Trucks represented not only a tremendous loss for the Cortland community, but also trends throughout the United States of consolidation and deindustrialization in American industry in the 1970s. Through an examination of local newspapers and employee accounts of labor disputes and conflict with Brockway\u27s parent company, Mack, this essay explains how the company that produced the most rugged truck in the world so quickly disappeared and left an entire community feeling slighted and uncertain of its future.https://digitalcommons.cortland.edu/programs/1008/thumbnail.jp

Poland and Voting in the Council

Poland wants to reopen the debate about voting in the Council. The Polish government has made public its desire to renegotiate the voting system in the Council. The main reason is that the voting system envisaged in the Constitution implies a huge loss of voting power with respect to Germany and a break-up of the accession package which brought Poland to the EU. Whereas the previous government accepted the new voting system as a part of a global package, the new government considers that once the Constitutional Treaty is open for renegotiation, each and every member state has the right to place onto the agenda the elements it dislikes. Whereas this is not often clearly perceived from abroad, the Polish government has adopted a constructive position: rather than a ‘Nice or die’ position, it is demanding that new options be examined, discussed and eventually negotiated. One of them is the ‘square root’ formula, which offers some sort of middle point between the Nice system and the Constitutional Treaty, but there are other possibilities. But, first and foremost, the European Council should allow the issue to be included in the IGC’s agenda. Not to do so would not only amount to repeating the mistakes made during the previous IGC negotiations but would open a question mark about the legitimacy of the EU’s treaty-making processes and threaten the satisfactory conclusion and ratification of the new Treaty

From O\u27Callahan to Chappell: The Burger Court and the Military

In 1969, the United States was deeply committed to a ground war in Southeast Asia in which the suffering and death was brought home daily to the American television viewer. Distrust of the military was never higher, as the repeated assertions of the imminent collapse of the enemy had apparently been graphically belied a year earlier in the Tet Offensive. As a newly elected President pledged to bring peace with honor to a war which seemed amenable to neither, Justice Douglas announced the decision of the Court in O\u27Callahan v. Parker
