Molecular regimes in ultracold Fermi gases

The use of Feshbach resonances for tuning the interparticle interaction in ultracold Fermi gases has led to remarkable developments, in particular to the creation and Bose-Einstein condensation of weakly bound diatomic molecules of fermionic atoms. These are the largest diatomic molecules obtained so far, with a size of the order of thousands of angstroms. They represent novel composite bosons, which exhibit features of Fermi statistics at short intermolecular distances. Being highly excited, these molecules are remarkably stable with respect to collisional relaxation, which is a consequence of the Pauli exclusion principle for identical fermionic atoms. The purpose of this review is to introduce theoretical approaches and describe the physics of molecular regimes in two-component Fermi gases and Fermi-Fermi mixtures, focusing attention on quantum statistical effects.Comment: Chapter of the book: "Cold Molecules: Theory, Experiment, Applications" edited by R.

Solid Waste Management Practices of Households in the University of Eastern Philippines

The University of Eastern Philippines (UEP) campus is located 3 kilometers east of the capital towm of Catarman and occupies an area of 419 hectares. A total of 63.8 hectares is its residential area, where its faculty, employees & students mostly reside with an estimated population of 7,000. Considered  a University town, it consists  of three distinct barangays, namely:  Barangay Zone I, Zone II, and Zone III.  The population in the university campus is growing and it does not have a sanitary landfill to dispose the garbage properly.  Thus, residents has to resort to dumping their wastes in an open dumpsite, which is located in Catarman, Northren Samar.   The current situation of the solid waste management system in the three barangays of the University of Eastern Philippines is at a critical stage.  At present, available equipment is not enough to collect all the wastes from the source to the disposal sites.  There are areas where the garbage trucks cannot be accessed and the waste materials are merely dumped, spread, and left exposed to the environment.  The main problem in solid waste management in the three barangays of the University of Eastern Philippines is the lack of ample attention posed by the local government in addressing the waste management problem.  The study  presented the solid waste management practices of households in the University of Eastern Philippines and identified the problems and solutions  related to solid waste management

Development of a compact excavator mounted dust suppression system

This paper reports on the investigation of an excavator mounted dust suppression system for demolition and construction activities. Ever increasing pressure is placed on contractors to improve their environmental performance, especially dust emissions. Current methods of dust suppression have been investigated and each of the methods has also been critically analysed to determine their advantages and disadvantages. The investigation also examined the requirements of such a system and a concept system proposal was produced. A working prototype has been constructed for a mini excavator complete with a hydraulic breaker. The proposed system was rigorously tested in various configurations to determine its efficiency and effectiveness in comparison with current suppression techniques. The resulting benefits such as the reduction of water usage and cost are highlighted

Issues on E-Marketing

E-Marketing is a function of marketing, It is enevitable for marketing to use technology to carry out its function.   We need to manage the marketing function not with the aid of technology but through technological advances.  Technological advances are double-edged swords: they create and destroy opportunities (Diola, Z. et al 2008).   Quirk resources defines E-Marketing or electronic marketing as the application of marketing principles  and techniques via electronic media and more specifically the Internet.   The terms  e-marketing, internet marketing and online marketing, are  frequently  interchanged, and can often be considered synonymous.  E-marketing is the process  of marketing a brand using the  internet.  It includes  both direct  response marketing and indirect  marketing elements  and uses a range of technologies to help connect businesses to their customers.  By such a definition,  eMarketing encompasses all the activities a business conducts via the worldwide web with the aim of attracting new business, retaining current business and developing its brand identity.  The present paper hoped to study and understand the concept of E-marketing and identify the types of E-marketing.

Economic Variables Affecting the Bids of Households for an Improved Environmental Quality In The University Of Eastern Philippines

The  University of Eastern Philippines (UEP) campus is located  three kilometers east of the capital town of Catarman, Northern Samar and occupies an mm,mmhl[[[[llarea of  419 hectares.  A total of 63.8 hectares is its residential area, where its faculty, employees and students mostly reside with an estimated population of 7,000.  Considered a University town, it consists of three distinct barangays, namely: Barangay Zone 1, Zone II, and Zone III.  The populaton in the universty campus is growing and it does not have a sanitary landfill to dispose the garbage properly.  Thus, residents has to resort to dumping their wastes in an open dumpsite, which is located in Catarman, Northern Samar. The present solid waste management system of the University  of Eastern Philippines needs an immediate solution to its pollution.  Based on economist’s point of view, pollution is a kind of externality that the polluter should have to take with responsibility.  It should not be solved using only the biophysical components, but it should consider the economic aspect so the polluter should have to pay the cost of abatement if pollution is to be eliminated.  Because pollution is an economic problem, it has to be priced so that the polluter has to take responsibility for it.  Hence, this study analyzed  the economic factors affecting the bids of households for an improved environmental sanitation in the University of Eastern Philippines

Willingness to pay bid of households for improvement in solid waste collection and disposal services in the University of Eastern Philippines

This paper determined the willingness to pay bid of households for improvement in solid waste collection and disposal services in the University of Eastern Philippines.  The study made use of primary data gathered from sample households through household survey. Majority (88.9%) of the  63 sample respondents from the three barangays were willing to pay for an improvement in solid waste collection and disposal services through a solid waste      management program.   The modal WTP bids in all barangays ranged from P91 to P120. Currently, no garbage collection fee is charged from households in all the sample barangays. Based on the foregoing results of the study, the following recommendations are suggested: 1) Due to limited government budget, the Local Government Unit should collect a user charge   from households  in  order to improve the    present solid waste collection and disposal services   of the three barangays in the University of    Eastern Philippines; 2)  The government should allocate funds for the purchase of new garbage  trucks for solid waste      collection and disposal services;  3)  The role of the LGUs not only in the collection of wastes but also in waste disposal should be   strengthened
