Download or read book Decentralized Wastewater Treatment and Reuse Feasibility Study for the College of Marin Kentfield CA written by Danielle Morgan McPherson and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper assesses the feasibility using a decentralized wastewater treatment system to provide recycled water for non-potable uses, such as irrigation, flushing toilets, and cooling towers, at the College of Marin (COM) in Kentfield, CA. The 3-year average of water usage at COM is 32.4 acre-feet per year (AFY), 95% of which is for non-potable applications. Water meter data for COM was used to compare usage during winter and summer months to isolate water used for irrigation, which is 20.5 AFY. The gender balance among students, faculty, and staff, as well as average gallons per flush were used to calculate the total volume used for flushing toilets at the college, which is 5.9 AFY. Annual water usage for cooling towers was provided in a previous study, which is 4.4 AFY. Three decentralized treatment systems were considered: 1) constructed wetland; 2) living machine; and 3) membrane bioreactor. The constructed wetland system is the least expensive at $5,200 to $7,400 per AF. A living machine system cost $7,000 per AF. Membrane bioreactor systems were found to be the most expensive at $11,000 to $13,000 per AF. All systems were found to be cost prohibitive compared the current cost of water to COM, which is $3,200 per AF. Although these systems are not economically reasonable at COM, this paper evaluates where they might be feasible in other parts of California or the world

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The peer-reviewed contributions gathered in this book address methods, software and applications of statistics and data science in the social sciences. The data revolution in social science research has not only produced new business models, but has also provided policymakers with better decision-making support tools. In this volume, statisticians, computer scientists and experts on social research discuss the opportunities and challenges of the social data revolution in order to pave the way for addressing new research problems. The respective contributions focus on complex social systems and current methodological advances in extracting social knowledge from large data sets, as well as modern social research on human behavior and society using large data sets. Moreover, they analyze integrated systems designed to take advantage of new social data sources, and discuss quality-related issues. The papers were originally presented at the 2nd International Conference on Data Science and Social Research, held in Milan, Italy, on February 4-5, 2019.

Download or read book Risks and Regulation of New Technologies written by Tsuyoshi Matsuda and published by Springer. This book was released on 2020-12-02 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How should we proceed with advanced research of humanities and social sciences in collaboration? What are the pressing issues of this new trend in a cataclysmic time for civilization? This book, originated with a Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) Topic-Setting Program, addresses these challenging questions in four parts for innovating twenty-first-century humanities and social sciences. It broadens the horizon for reviewing multi-disciplinary landscapes of risks and regulation of new technologies by focusing on paradigmatic cases from the fields of life and environment. Here, genome editing for reproductive treatment and renewable energy under the constraint of climate change in Japanese and global contexts are involved. The volume comprises a combination of topics and aspects such as public policy and philosophy of science, medicine and law, climate ethics, and the economics of electricity. This edited collection will thus motivate forward-thinking readers across the diverse spectrum of social sciences and humanities to survey themes of their own interests in multi-disciplinary studies. In so doing, they can explore the evolving frontiers of those disciplines and the depths of individual contributions by experts in philosophy, ethics, law, economics, and science, technology, and society (STS), including bioscience.
