Gowanus Canal: A Superfund Case Study

The Gowanus Canal is a 1.8-mile long industrial waterway in the borough of Brooklyn, New York. The Canal is bounded by several communities, including Park Slope, Cobble Hill, Carroll Gardens and Red Hook. The Canal empties into New York Harbor. The Gowanus Canal was built in the mid-1800s and was used as a major industrial transportation route. Manufactured gas plants (MGP), paper mills, tanneries and chemical plants operated along the Canal and discharged wastes into it. In addition, contamination flows into the Canal from overflows from sewer systems that carry sanitary waste from homes and rainwater from storm drains and industrial pollutants. As a result, the Gowanus Canal has become one of the nation\u27s most seriously contaminated water bodies. On December 27, 2012, the EPA released a Proposed Plan describing its proposed remedy for the site. The Proposed Plan recommended removing all of the contaminated sediment that has accumulated as a result of industrial and sewer discharges from the bottom of the canal by dredging. The dredged areas would then be capped. EPA also recommended controls to prevent CSOs and other land-based sources of contamination from compromising the cleanup. This program provides an overview of the work on the canal and its implications for the future of the surrounding communities

Formulation and evaluation of antibacterial properties of garlic (Allium sativum) with lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) ointment against Staphylococcus aureus in Philippine native chicken

Abstract onlyStaphylococcus aureus It is the main source of skin and soft tissue infections, which result in cellulitis, furuncles, abscesses, and mortality. Garlic ointment mixed with lavender oil has been produced as a safer and less expensive alternative to synthetic antibiotic ointment. The study was conducted to formulate and evaluate the antimicrobial activity of Garlic (Allium sativum) with lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) essential oil; assess the Minimum inhibitory Concentration and Zone of Inhibition; and evaluate the Potency Level of Garlic with Lavender Ointment. This research involved a total 30 Petri plates, 100pl Staphylococcus aureus bacteria, 500pl mupirocin at higher dose, 250pl mupirocin at lower dose, 500pl VCO, 500pl distilled water. The concentration were laid out using a complete randomized design (CRD) and two-factor (CRD). The GEO with LEO assessed through MIC after 24 hours of post-exposure revealed that 100% GEO with LEO concentration has the highest mean percentage (80.65%). In addition, treatments 85% to 100% GEO with LEO concentration had a wider ZOI. Furthermore, after 72 hours of post-exposure. The antibacterial property of GEO with LEO is potent, based on standard potency of 60 to 150 percent. Thus, GEO with LEO can serve as a substitute for regulating the isolation of Staphylococcus aureus from Philippine native chicken.Includes bibliographical referencesBachelor of Science in Agricultur

Grammar in Dictionaries of Languages for Special Purposes (LSP)

In general monolingual and bilingual dictionaries and in the lexicographical literature on them, grammatical information is given a growing amount of attention. By constrast, grammar plays a rather minor role in LSP dictionaries although many users need a good deal of grammatical guidance in the production and reception of LSP texts
