Sediment Quality Criteria: Numeric Chemical– vs. Biological Effects–Based Approaches
The US EPA and state regulatory agencies are developing sediment quality criteria and standards for the protection of water quality from sediment-associated contaminants. Many of the approaches being pursued rely in whole or substantive part on the bulk concentrations of selected chemical contaminants in the sediment as a basis for determining those sediments sufficiently contaminated to warran...
متن کاملApproaches to Corruption in the Developing Countries
This article mainly seeks to provide a framework to help us reach a better understanding of the nature, causes and grounds of increasing administrative corruption in developing countries. In this regard, the author identifies six approaches to administrative corruption and surveys issues related to the rise of corruption within these context. These approaches include cost-benefit, relative depr...
متن کاملApproaches to Quality Management for Developing WBT Courses
The focus of this paper is on the process of producing web-based training (WBT) courses. The development of course material is regarded as a software development process, which suffers from similar problems like other software production processes as well, e.g. incomplete or inappropriate conceptualization of the task and of user needs in the beginning. From a software-ergonomic point of view t...
متن کاملAquatic ecotoxicity of lanthanum - A review and an attempt to derive water and sediment quality criteria.
Rare earth elements (REE) used to be taken as tracers of geological origin for fluvial transport. Nowadays their increased applications in innovative environmental-friendly technology (e.g. in catalysts, superconductors, lasers, batteries) and medical applications (e.g. MRI contrast agent) lead to man-made, elevated levels in the environment. So far, no regulatory thresholds for REE concentrati...
متن کاملThe Nanoindentation of Soft Tissue: Current and Developing Approaches
This work is focused on testing biological samples under conditions as close as possible to the natural environment. The data generated can be used to better understand joint damage mechanisms (e.g., osteoarthritis), improve implants, and as a guide for the design of biomimetic materials. Mechanical testing of biological materials is a continuously developing fi eld that requires the testing of...
