AbstractScholars have long been concerned that mass media depictions of those with mental disorders foster stigma. Research is needed extricating how particular are represented and perceived, such as obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). This article examines what images obsessions compulsions exist in the media, persons interpret these. It employs two methods: qualitative in-depth interviews content analysis. Data indicate represents distinguishable ways both reinforce complicate common...
Decades of research to understand the impacts various types environmental occupational and medical stressors on human health have produced a vast amount data across many scientific disciplines. Organizing these in meaningful way support risk assessment has been significant challenge. To address this other challenges modernizing chemical assessment, Organisation for Economic Cooperation Development (OECD) formalized adverse outcome pathway (AOP) framework, an approach consolidate knowledge...
Increasingly high aircraft power demands require that the interactions between an aircraft’s electrical subsystem and engine be considered in dynamic, systemlevel tests. Traditionally, system-level dynamics have only been captured completely assembled systems. Component-level or subsystem-level optimization is no longer appropriate because highly interdependent subsystems become apparent during analysis. In effort to mitigate program risk, enable optimization, reduce cost of testing...
Abstract : As aircraft continue to increase their power and thermal demands, transient operation of the propulsion subsystems can no longer be neglected at system level. The performance whole must considered by examining dynamic interactions between power, propulsion, airframe subsystems. Larger loading demands placed on result in thrust, speed, altitude transients that affect capability. This results different operating control parameters for engine properly captured only an integrated...
<div class="section abstract"><div class="htmlview paragraph">Next generation aircraft will require more electrical power, thermal cooling, and better versatility. To attain these improvements, technologies need to be integrated optimized at a system-level. The complexity of systems considerable analysis. In order characterize understand the implications highly-integrated systems, effects pulsed-power, highly-transient loads, that drive system-stability behavior, an approach taken utilizing...
The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview the experience US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in cleaning up radioactively contaminated sites. In USA, EPA regulates radiological clean-up uranium mill tailings sites, some Department Energy legacy sites within nuclear weapons complex, and Superfund National Priorities List approach site remediation decisions, including determination levels, varies according enabling legislation granting these authorities. Past practices that gave...
In most traditional accounts of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) text and discourse are viewed as being the product a one-directional flow information from handful dominant (and powerful) producers to an seemingly subordinate mass readers who passively consume texts. To this end, CDA proclaims interest in both production reception factors they reflected social practices (Fetzer & Johansson, 2008). Yet, literature actual empirical data focusing on have often been lacking and/or limited...
During the spring of 2011, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) used its national radiation monitoring and sampling system, RadNet, to detect, identify, inform public about radioactive material in United States resulting from Japan's Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant release. The RadNet system monitors ambient air, drinking water, precipitation, pasteurized milk for radionuclides. To supplement existing stationary (fixed) continuous air EPA deployed additional Saipan, Guam,...
The process to arrive at the radiation protection practices of today protect workers, patients, and public, including sensitive populations, has been a long deliberative one. This paper presents an overview US Environmental Protection Agency's (US EPA) responsibility in protecting human health environment from unnecessary exposure radiation. origins this can be traced back early efforts, century ago, workers x rays radium. system we employ is robust informed by latest scientific consensus....
