Historical Context And Hazardous Waste Facility Siting: Understanding Temporal Patterns In Michigan, Robin Saha, Paul Mohai Jan 2005

Historical Context And Hazardous Waste Facility Siting: Understanding Temporal Patterns In Michigan, Robin Saha, Paul Mohai

Environmental Studies Faculty Publications

This article tests the proposition that, beginning in the 1970s, historic growth of public environmental concern and opposition to waste facilities, as well as changes in the policy environment increasingly encouraged hazardous waste facilities siting to follow the path of least (political) resistance and resulted in environmental inequities. Our longitudinal analysis of sitings in the State of Michigan from 1950 to 1990 reveals a distinct temporal pattern supporting our hypotheses. Whereas significant racial, socioeconomic, and housing disparities at the time of siting were not in evidence for facilities sited prior to 1970, patterns of disparate siting were found for facilities …

Toxicity, Biotransformation, And Mode Of Action Of Arsenic In Two Freshwater Microalgae (Chlorella Sp. And Monoraphidium Arcuatum), Jacqueline L. Levy, Jennifer L. Stauber, Merrin S. Adams, William A. Maher, Jason K. Kirby, Dianne F. Jolley Jan 2005

Toxicity, Biotransformation, And Mode Of Action Of Arsenic In Two Freshwater Microalgae (Chlorella Sp. And Monoraphidium Arcuatum), Jacqueline L. Levy, Jennifer L. Stauber, Merrin S. Adams, William A. Maher, Jason K. Kirby, Dianne F. Jolley

Faculty of Science - Papers (Archive)

The toxicity of As(V) and As(III) to two axenic tropical 15 freshwater microalgae, Chlorella sp. and Monoraphidium arcuatum, was determined using 72-h growth rate inhibition bioassays. Both organisms were tolerant to As(III) (72-h IC50, concentration to cause 50% inhibition of growth, of 25 and 15 mg As(III)/L, respectively). Chlorella sp. was also tolerant to As(V) with no effect on growth rate over 72 h at concentrations up to 0.8 mg/L (72-h IC50 of 25 mg As(V)/L). M. arcuatum was more sensitive to As(V) (72-h IC50 of 0.25 mg As(V)/L). An increase in phosphate in the growth medium (0.15 to 1.5 …

Doing Discourse Analysis, Gordon R. Waitt Jan 2005

Doing Discourse Analysis, Gordon R. Waitt

Faculty of Science - Papers (Archive)

My hope in writing this chapter is to generate enthusiasm for geographical research employing discourse analysis. My intention is to provide some advice on doing discourse analysis to facilitale the design of research. I first outline why some geographers have been inspired by this approach. I suggest how Foucauldian discourse analysis is a break from other critical methods applied to textual analysis, including content analysis, semiology, and iconography. The theoretical underpinnings of the method provided by Michel Foucault, a French poststructuralist philosopher, is a key source of difference. I therefore condense Michel Foucault's contribution to discourse analysis by sketching out …

Walking With Hobbits: An Insider's View Of The Discovery At Liang Bua, Kira E. Westaway Jan 2005

Walking With Hobbits: An Insider's View Of The Discovery At Liang Bua, Kira E. Westaway

Faculty of Science - Papers (Archive)

Startling archaeological and palaeoanthropological discoveries tend to generate a wealth of responses from different social and professional groups. The recent discovery of a 'hobbit' generated a response from academic institutions, the media and the general public that was unexpected, but at the same time very indicative of how human beings perceive themselves. By reviewing how this find has impacted on these three groups, a mixture of emotions is revealed: disbelief, horror, intrigue and fascination. But can science, especially science in Indonesia, benefit from this period of intense scrutiny and interest brought about by the most important, albeit disputed, find of …

New Pieces To The Archaean Terrane Jigsaw Puzzle In The Nuuk Region, Southern West Greeland: Steps In Transforming A Simple Insight Into A Complex Regional Tectonothermal Model, Clark R L Friend, Allen Phillip Nutman Jan 2005

New Pieces To The Archaean Terrane Jigsaw Puzzle In The Nuuk Region, Southern West Greeland: Steps In Transforming A Simple Insight Into A Complex Regional Tectonothermal Model, Clark R L Friend, Allen Phillip Nutman

Faculty of Science - Papers (Archive)

In the south of the Nuuk region of West Greenland our 1980s mapping recognized four Archaean gneiss terranes (Færingehavn, Tre Brødre, Tasiusarsuaq and Akia terranes) with different protolith ages and separate early tectonothermal histories. Later in the Archaean these were juxtaposed and then experienced the same 2700-2500 Ma tectonothermal events. Here we abandon extrapolation of only these four terranes across the whole region, and distinguish two new terranes in the NE. The northernmost Isukasia terrane (previously regarded as the northernmost exposure of the Færingehavn terrane) consists of Palaeoarchaean rocks (>3600 Ma) tectonically bounded on its south by the 3075-2960 …

Complex 3670-3500 Ma Orogenic Episodes Superimposed On Juvenile Crust Accreted Between 3850 And 3690 Ma, Itsaq Gneiss Complex, Southern West Greenland, Clark R L Friend, Allen Phillip Nutman

Faculty of Science - Papers (Archive)

The Itsaq Gneiss Complex of the Nuuk region, southern West Greenland, is dominated by 3850-3690 Ma tonalites intruded into and intercalated with lesser amounts of different ≥3850-3700 Ma supracrustal units. Published wholerock Sr and Nd isotopic studies demonstrate that the tonalites are juvenile crustal additions from a depleted mantle source. From our field studies and SHRIMP U/Pb zircon dating, we argue that this juvenile crustal accretion was spread over ca. 170 m.yr. (≥3850-3690 Ma). Following 3850-3690 Ma juvenile crustal accretion events, the evolution of the Itsaq Gneiss Complex continued with numerous crustal-reworking events between 3670 and 3500 Ma. Examples of …

Metasedimentary Complexes Of The Tuva-Mongolian Massif: Age, Provenances And Tectonic Position, I K Kozakov, E B Sal'nikova, Allen Phillip Nutman, V P Kovach, A B Kotov, V N Podkovyrov, Yu V Plotkina

Faculty of Science - Papers (Archive)

A complex problem of dating supracrustal rocks is unavoidable by analysis of tectonic position of polymetamorphic amphibolite and granulite complexes. Geochronological dates are necessary to constrain ages of source rocks and accumulation periods of clastic sediments, while isotopic-geochemical parameters open a possibility to estimate model ages of the crust in provenances. Using the ion microprobe SHRIMPTM (Hiroshima, Japan), clastic zircons from metasediments of the Erzin and Moren complexes of the Tuva-Mongolian massif in accretionary collage of Central Asia are dated and the Nd model age of respective rocks are estimated. The U-Th-Pb isotopic data suggest that clastic zircons from supracrustal …

Rnai-Mediated Knocking-Down Of Rlpk2 Gene Retarded Soybean Leaf Senescence, Xiaoping Li, Yuanyuan Ma, Pengli Li, Liwen Zhang, Yong Wang, Ren Zhang, Ningning Wang

Faculty of Science - Papers (Archive)

Leaf senescence that occurs in the last stage of leaf development is a genetically programmed process. It is very significant to elucidate the molecular mechanisms that control the initiation and progression of leaf senescence and the way the senescence signal is transduced. In a previous study on artificially induced soybean leaf senescence, we cloned a novel gene designatedrlpk2 (Genbank Accession No. AY687391) that encodes a leucine-rich repeat (LRR) receptor like protein kinase. The expression level ofrlpk2 gene was shown to be strongly up-regulated during both the natural leaf senescence process in this report and the artificially induced primary-leaf-senescence …

Macrochannels And Their Significance For Flood-Risk Minimisation, West Dapto, New South Wales, E. L. Roper, Ivars Reinfelds, Gerald C. Nanson Jan 2005

Macrochannels And Their Significance For Flood-Risk Minimisation, West Dapto, New South Wales, E. L. Roper, Ivars Reinfelds, Gerald C. Nanson

Faculty of Science - Papers (Archive)

A prominent characteristic of streams draining catchments in West Dapto, New South Wales, are well developed macrochannels that have formed within alluvial terraces in mid-catchment zones. A detailed hydraulic modelling study using HEC-RAS, HEC-GeoRAS and Arcview GIS indicates that these macrochannels are scaled to accommodate high magnitude floods. They offer a significant degree of natural protection from flood events up to and in excess of 100 years recurrence interval, essentially by operating as 'bankfull' channels during such events. Macrochannel landforms can be clearly distinguished and mapped on fine-scale digital elevation models (DEMs) and other GIS data sources such as rectified …

Rotational Effects In The Band Oscillator Strengths And Predissociation Linewidths For The Lowest 1pi U X 1sigma + G Transitions Of N2, V. E. Haverd, B.R. Lewis, S.T. Gibson, G. Stark

Faculty of Science - Papers (Archive)

A coupled-channel Schrödinger equation (CSE) model of photodissociation, which includes the effects of all interactions between the , , and and the and states, is employed to study the effects of rotation on the lowest- band oscillator strengths and predissociationlinewidths. Significant rotational dependences are found which are in excellent agreement with recent experimental results, where comparisons are possible. New extreme-ultraviolet (EUV)photoabsorption spectra of the key transition of are also presented and analyzed, revealing apredissociationlinewidth peaking near . This behavior can be reproduced only if the triplet structure of the state is included explicitly in the CSE-model calculations, with a spin-orbit …

Rinsland, Clare Paton-Walsh, Nicholas B. Jones, David W. T Griffith, Aaron Goldman, Stephen W. Wood, Linda Chiou, Arndt Meier

Faculty of Science - Papers (Archive)

The tropospheric mixing ratio profile of ethylene (C2H4)(C2H4) has been retrieved from a high spectral resolution ground-based infrared solar absorption spectrum. The spectrum was recorded during intense fires in New South Wales, Australia on January 1, 2002, and was analyzed with the C2H4C2H4 spectral parameters added to the 2000 HITRAN compilation. Absorption by C2H4C2H4 in the smoke-affected spectrum extends over a broad spectral range in a region with observable rotational fine structure. The fine structure occurs in addition to the View the MathML source949.5cm-1ν7ν7 band Q branch that is traditionally used to quantify C2H4C2H4 amounts from infrared atmospheric measurements assuming …

Localized Storms, Edward A. Bryant Jan 2005

Localized Storms, Edward A. Bryant

Faculty of Science - Papers (Archive)

The previous chapter was mainly concerned with the effects of strong winds generated by secondary features of general air circulation. These winds were associated with the development of low-pressure cells spanning areas of 10,000–100,000 km−2. While tropical cyclones and extra-tropical depressions produce some of the strongest winds and highest amounts of precipitation over the widest areas, they are by no means the only source of high winds or heavy precipitation. These values can be matched by thunderstorms, which cover no more than 500 km2 in area and rarely travel more than 100–200 km before dissipating. They can produce high-magnitude, short-period …

An Automated Gis Method For Modeling Relative Wave Exposure Within Complex Reef-Island Systems: A Case Study Of The Great Barrier Reef, Marjetta L. Puotinen

Faculty of Science - Papers (Archive)

Patterns of wave energy play a significant role in shaping the long-term structure of coral reef communities worldwide. For example, sections of reefs have been shown to vary greatly in morphology (dominant size class, growth form) as coral colonies adapt in response to local-scale differences in the wave heights typically experienced. These differences result in zonation (crest, lagoon, and slope), producing characteristic growth forms and species assemblages that vary in their vulnerability to damage from waves (Done 1993). Those communities experiencing the greatest typical wave energy align themselves parallel to the water flow, adopt stream-lined forms and are usually smaller …

Channel Pattern And Deltaic-Estuarine Process In The Indo-Pacific Region, Colin D. Woodroffe Jan 2005

Channel Pattern And Deltaic-Estuarine Process In The Indo-Pacific Region, Colin D. Woodroffe

Faculty of Science - Papers (Archive)

This paper explores the concept that deltaic-estuarine geomorphology is a function of the dominant processes. It has been traditional to recognize river, wave and tidal processes as the principal controls on the gross morphology of deltas. To a lesser extent, these processes are also recognized as significant controls on the shape of estuaries. The complex deltas of the Southeast Asian region contain active deltaic plains and often extensive abandoned deltaic plains which preserve an imprint of the processes which have shaped them. In northern Australia, where estuaries are more extensive than deltas, similar geomorphological features can be recognized and the …

Illuminating Southeast Asian Prehistory : New Archaeological And Paleoanthropological Frontiers For Luminescence Dating, Richard G. Roberts, Michael J. Morwood, Kira E. Westaway

Faculty of Science - Papers (Archive)

Since the explorations of Alfred Russel Wallace and Eugène Dubois in the nineteenth century, Southeast Asia has been one of the world's focal points for studies of biogeography and biodiversity, human evolution and dispersal, environmental change, and the spread of culture, farming, and language. Yet despite its prominence, reliable chronologies are not available for many of the critical archaeological, evolutionary, and environmental turning points that have taken place in the region during the last 1.5 million years. In this paper, we discuss some of these chronological problems and describe how luminescence dating may help overcome them. "Luminescence dating" is a …
