Waste minimization generally considers all of the methods in the EPA hierarchy (except for disposal) appropriate to reduce the volume or quantity of waste requiring dispos (i.e., source reduction). The definition oi source reduction as applied in the Pollution Prevention Act, however, is any practice that reduces the amount of any hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant entering any waste stream... 

Figure 25-2 provides a more detailed schematic representation of the two preferred pollution prevention techniques (i.e., source reduction ana recychng). 

NoU It is possible that at some loealioiis there is no a.e. source available, such as (or battery-operated lifts iirul motor vehicles,. Such applications may also call for a variable d.e. source. When it is so. it can be achieved with the use of a chopper circuit which uses the conventional semiconductor devices. The devices are switched at high repetitive frequencies to obtain the required variation in the output voltage as with the use of a phase-controlled lliyristor rectifier, A typical chopper circuit is shown in Ingure 6.2, i. using diodes and a controlled unidirectional semieonduetor switch, which can be a thyristor or tin IGBT. 

It is a special feature of this diffusion situation that substance Red is produced by the chemical reaction, all along the diffusion path (i.e., sources of the substance are spatially distributed). For this reason the diffusion flux and the concentration gradient are not constant but increase (in absolute values) in the direction toward the surface. The incremental diffusion flux in a layer of thickness dx [ dJJdx)dx or -D (f-cldx ) dx] should be equal to the rate, v dx, of the chemical reaction in this layer. Hence, we have... 

Sources of incident data include a variety of public-domain databases, technical literature, and news accounts (Appendix E). Sources are categorized in Appendix E as reviewed only if incident data did not meet the CSB definition of reactive chemical incident (Section 1.3). 

Residual hydrocarbons will continue to serve as a source of groundwater contamination thus, remediation strategies for DNAPLs should emphasize long-term control and management (i.e., source containment, pool control, and recovery) vs. short-term fixes. Regardless of an increased level of effort (i.e., additional wells, increased pumping rates, etc.), the overall time for remediation is not expected to shorten by more than a factor of five. 

To use Equation 2 to determine s electron density diflFerences, it must be "calibrated —i.e., source-absorber or absorber-absorber combinations must be found for which the 5 electron density diflFerence is known. The most common method for calibrating the isomeric shift formula is to measure isomeric shifts for absorbers with diflFerent numbers of outer shell 5 electrons—e.g., by using compounds with the absorbing atoms in different valence states. The accuracy of this method depends on how much is known about the chemical bonds in suitably chosen absorber compounds, in particular about their ionicity and their hybridization. t/ (0) 2 can be obtained for an outer 5 electron from the Fermi-Segre formula or preferably from Hartree-Fock calculations.

Among the multivariate statistical techniques that have been used as source-receptor models, factor analysis is the most widely employed. The basic objective of factor analysis is to allow the variation within a set of data to determine the number of independent causalities, i.e. sources of particles. It also permits the combination of the measured variables into new axes for the system that can be related to specific particle sources. The principles of factor analysis are reviewed and the principal components method is illustrated by the reanalysis of aerosol composition results from Charleston, West Virginia. An alternative approach to factor analysis. Target Transformation Factor Analysis, is introduced and its application to a subset of particle composition data from the Regional Air Pollution Study (RAPS) of St. Louis, Missouri is presented. 

It should be recognized that the exponential expressions in eqs. (17) and (18) are simply correction terms designed to normalize rates observed in solutions not optically black to the limiting rates for optically black solutions (i.e., the rate independent of pyrimidine concentration), and have no other kinetic importance. Such extrapolations as shown in this footnote are hazardous for most experiments using ordinary medium pressure or high pressure (i.e., sources with continuum and not simply line emission). It is likely that some of the other variations in quantum yield with concentration mentioned here and in ref. 7 are also artifacts. 

In PSpice both a 7414 and a CD4093 were used. The 7414 is the digital model for the Schmitt trigger inverter. To use the digital device for an analog measurement, E sources (voltage-controlled voltage sources) were used as buffers. The schematic used for the PSpice model is shown in Fig. 8.59. The results are displayed in Fig. 8.60. 

Undeniably, one of the most widely recognized roles for obsidian involves provenance research (i.e., sourcing). Provenance research connects artifacts to their sources such that interpretations about the movement of obsidian can be made with a high degree of confidence. The process of obsidian artifact sourcing relies on making comparisons of one or more characteristics of obsidian artifacts with those same characteristics for all possible sources. In order to have a successful outcome, one must demonstrate that the characteristics of the artifact and the source are the same to the exclusion of all other possible sources. Usually, the greater the number of characteristics used in the comparison, the more reliable the result. 

The basic idea of the minimum utility cost calculation via the transshipment representation is to (i) introduce variables for all potential heat flows (i.e., sources to warehouses, warehouses to destinations, warehouses to warehouses), (ii) write the overall energy balances around each warehouse, and (iii) write the mathematical model that minimizes the utility cost subject to the energy balance constraints. 

The Court found in favor of LEAF by concluding that application of RCRA to the Y-12 Plant was not inconsistent with AEA. The Court also concluded that the most reasonable reconciliation of the two statutes was that facilities regulated under AEA are subject to RCRA, except RCRA does not apply to those materials that are expressly regulated under AEA (i.e., source, special nuclear, and byproduct materials). 

Oxygen isotopic data on whole rocks show 5180 in the range + 5.0 to +5.9 (Marty et al. 1994). Boron isotopic compositions have small but significant variations (8nB -8%o to -3%o), probably derived from both deep (i.e. source contamination) and shallow (i.e. magma contamination) processes (Tonarini et al. 2001b). 

In this experiment, a standard 1311 solution also is precipitated as Pdl2 to calibrate the beta-particle detector. Two different weights of Pdl2 are precipitated so that interpolation of counting efficiency as a function of sample weight (i.e., source thickness) is possible, as discussed in Experiment 4.
