Quantifying and Modelling Post-Wildfire Sediment Production in Waterton Lakes National Park
MetadataShow full item record
High-severity wildfires can increase sediment mobility and erosion rates in burned landscapes which increase the delivery of fine sediment to receiving streams. The downstream propagation of these pyrogenic materials can have significant implications for ecosystem and human health implications. The identification of areas prone to differing levels of sediment erosion is necessary for watershed managers to prioritize critical areas that may require best management practices to reduce sediment transfer from hillslopes to receiving streams. Knowledge of sediment erodibility and runoff rates at the site scale and incorporation of these data in watershed-scale sediment erosion models such as the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) is critical for landscape managers to mitigate the effects of soil erosion. The objectives of this study are to 1) quantify runoff and sediment erosion rates for dominant soil textures using a rainfall simulator at the plot scale to provide estimates of sediment erodibility and yield, 2) model post-wildfire erosion at the watershed scale to identify critical areas of sediment erosion and 3) identify priority management zones in Waterton Lakes National Park and recommend management options for the implementation of best management practices. Runoff and sediment erosion rates of various soil textures were measured using a rainfall simulator using an I10 rainfall intensity. The rainfall simulation data were used in RUSLE to determine watershed-scale sediment yields and to identify priority management areas. In the present study, a low rainfall intensity (33 mm hr-1) produced runoff and sediment erosion over a range of soil textures following a wildfire. Finer soil textures produced higher runoff rates and sediment yields compared to coarse soil textures on burned soils. RUSLE provided first-order sediment erosion estimates following wildfire and has the potential to identify areas of varying erosion rates at the watershed-scale, in a GIS environment, for use by land managers that may want to reduce sediment from potentially entering nearby streams.

RPA and the Importance of Virtual Robotics
Luís Rita, IT Consultant
Like the physical robots that have been replacing industrial jobs, virtual robots will eventually replace a large number of business jobs.
We refer to this substitution as RPA (Robotic Process Automation). With the use of specific tools, companies can achieve incredible results with this type of technology. Yes, it is true that there are other forms of automation, but these require the monitoring of employees.
There are some RPA tools on the market that can be used even by “non-programmers” (that is, people who have no programming background), giving them the possibility to also develop robots capable of automating any repetitive virtual process.
These processes are usually performed by a human being, even if they require the interaction of various systems or technologies such as desktop applications, websites, excel files, emails, and databases.
They help us perform certain tasks in a cheaper, faster, and more consistent way for a longer period of time, making us more efficient and effective.
It has been proven by several business leaders around the world that there are many advantages to surrendering and adhering to this technology, such as efficiency, quality, error reduction, and cost reduction.
We are, therefore, facing a technology that was born in the new era, whose main objective is to imitate what humans do, using our systems and interfaces.
What is RPA really?
RPA is the use of what we call software robots with AI and machine learning capabilities, which allow us to emulate and integrate actions typically performed by humans. These actions consist mainly of repetitive and high-volume business tasks, based on clear and well-standardized rules established by the previously defined processes.
Robot programmers use various RPA tools to create robots capable of capturing, interpreting, and performing routine tasks performed by humans, and which interact with the various existing systems such as desktop applications, websites, excel files, text files, XML documents or JSON, email, and databases, among others.
Although RPA is associated with robots, in the sense that it performs tasks automatically, we cannot say that they are physical machines getting the job done. It is common to use the term “robots” to describe the automation of virtual processes, and despite it being a bit of a misnomer, it’s used to provide a clearer vision of what this technology really consists of.
Robots can be classified as unattended or autonomous and attended or assistive. The first is an autonomous robot, which is programmed to perform a task without requiring any human intervention.
The attended or assistive robot, as the name implies, requires human assistance at one or more points in the process. This usually involves a decision that requires logical reasoning, that forces the automation to stop at that moment.
Main industrial sectors where RPA models can be implemented and tasks that we can automate
In general, there is no restriction where RPA can be applied. It can be used in any business sector or task. Of course, there are also situations where other solutions should be invested in, according to the company's needs, in order to generate the best return on investment (ROI).
With the advantage of being able to interact with other software and files through the same interface used by a human user, RPA stands out for its versatility compared to other types of automation. These require more effort and expertise, not to mention system integration through APIs, which are not always available.
Other types of automation often require a programming background, and even in that RPA stands out, as there are solutions in this technology that require neither programming experience nor knowledge.
Sectors such as banking, finance, insurance, and BPO are best suited with an RPA model. This is because they are sectors with repetitive processes that involve a high volume of data, and time consumption.
In the case of the financial and banking sectors, they are highly regulated industries, which require security and precision. It is, for example, in these types of tasks that robots stand out more than humans.
Of course, there are other industrial sectors where we can also apply RPA models, such as telecommunications, retail, manufacturing, health, etc. Compared to the sectors that most often seek RPA as a solution, they cannot be said to have other advantages, as they are pretty much the same efficiency and effectiveness.
Due to its versatility, as long as the process involves the operation of software, it is possible to use RPA. In other words, RPA can be implemented in different departments and areas throughout a company as long as it is possible to develop automation based on actions and rules that are normally performed by company employees. Some of these tasks can be, for example:
- Copy/paste data
- Filling out forms
- Application logins
- Web data extraction
- Interaction with multiple systems
- Reading and writing in the database
- Performing calculations
There are many other actions that we can automate with RPA. However, the main objective of this technology is not to replace multiple systems, but to try to improve them.
What drives companies to implement an RPA system and what are the main advantages?
For a company to survive it must be in constant growth. By implementing an RPA system, companies significantly reduce costs and increase revenues, earning a higher profit margin.
When making this replacement, companies not only have advantages in terms of effectiveness and efficiency but also manage to provide their employees with a better work environment. Here’s how.
The main advantages of implementing an RPA model are:
- Reduction of operating costs
- Reduction of time lost in repetitive tasks
- Focus on tasks that require more thinking and that add more value to the company
- Professional motivation
- Service quality assurance
- Error reduction
- Increased results
- Increased working hours (24h / 24h)
By replacing labor with virtual robots, companies greatly reduce operating costs. In addition, automation can also significantly reduce the time spent on repetitive tasks.
Thus, utilizing robots saves employees time for tasks that require more logical reasoning. This means that, in a certain way, it motivates employees to have a less monotonous and more productive work model, with more time to stimulate their creativity.
Employees gain more autonomy to perform important and strategic functions for the growth of their business (core business), without harming the quality of the services it provides or the product it develops.
Using RPA also allows you, depending on the performance of the robots, to reduce the likelihood of errors and increase the return on investment.
There is also the advantage of a robot's working time compared to a human. Robots can work 24 hours straight without vacations or breaks. Human beings, on the other hand, due to physical and mental fatigue, should normally limit themselves to 8 hours of work daily, alternating with moments of rest.
In addition to all these advantages, there is another one that, for a software developer and someone curious about business operations, I consider equally important.
When implemented in any sector of a company, RPA has an impact on streamlining the relationship between employees in the various departments of the company, creating an environment open to dialogue.
As with almost everything in life, there are advantages and disadvantages, and RPA also has its less beneficial side. It is estimated that, according to the study ‘The future of Workplaces’ by the WEF (World Economic Forum), there will be a significant increase in jobs around the world that will be replaced by automation by 2025.
This study was carried out before the pandemic, which probably accelerated this process and anticipated its results.
What is the difference between automation testing and RPA?
Often there are those who confuse automation testing with process automation. Very briefly, I will explain what each one consists of.
Automation tests consist of repeating the same tests several times on different types of operating systems, mobile apps, or different browsers. These tests allow us to assess whether the product is ready to be placed in a production environment or not.
Automation in RPA consists of the development of robots capable of performing real tasks that were previously performed by employees, with the advantage of working in any department of the company.
What are the steps to implement an RPA project?
The main steps are:
Analysis and documentation—First, we create the requirements survey. We analyze the processes, define them and assess to see if they have the potential to be automated. Each process that has the potential to be automated is documented. The architecture is created and the environment is prepared according to each process. Finally, the entire workflow is designed.
Development—The process is developed according to specific rules, taking into account restrictions, until it is completely automated.
Tests—The automation is extensively tested and prepared until it is ready to be placed in a production environment.
Implementation and Maintenance—The automation of the process is implemented in the production environment, made official and monitored, and everything important is documented. The performance of the process automation is evaluated, and if necessary, changes are made to the automation in order to correct or improve it.
RPA tools for automation development
There are numerous tools in the RPA world, but what follows are some that present bigger and better solutions, each in their own way. Some of these names are UiPath, Automation Anywhere, Blue Prism, Pegasystems, Workfusion, Another Monday, and Kryone, among many others.
I highlight the first three because they are currently the most prominent in the market and are considered the best solutions for automating processes in the main business sectors worldwide.
UiPath—It is currently the most widely used tool on the market worldwide, mainly used in the finance, insurance, health, telecommunications, manufacturing, public sector, and BPO sectors. They provide us with products such as Platform, Studio, StudioX, Robot, and Orchestrator.
It presents us with a set of automation solutions such as Desktop, Web, GUI, Citrix, Excel, Email, and SAP, among many others. In addition to being attractive and very intuitive, it has a flexible interface.
Automation Anywhere—It operates mainly in the BPO, financial services, health, manufacturing, public services sectors. Like UiPath, it also uses technology capable of developing assisted and unattended automation.
Automation Anywhere introduces us to products like AA Enterprise, IQ Bot, BotFarm, Bot Insight, and the Bot Store. With a list-like interface, this is one of the three popular tools that most resembles web development software.
Blue Prism—A pioneer in the development of process automation software, this tool is used mainly in the banking, e-commerce, and investments sectors. It supports platforms such as JAVA, Windows, and Mainframe. It presents a flowchart interface with drag and drop functionality, and uses the C # programming language as a base.
UiPath and Automation Anywhere are both American software development companies, while Blue Prism is based out of England. The RPA tools, like all technology, are constantly evolving and are increasingly part of the day-to-day management assistance, and consequently, the success of large national and international companies.
The best tool and the reason behind my choice?
Working for almost a year with UiPath, I believe that this is the tool on the market that not only presents the best solutions but also provides flexibility in the various stages of the RPA process, taking into account the wide range of products it offers (some of which are free, such as Community Edition).
To design, develop, and monitor projects, UiPath offers us three main components: UiPath Studio, UiPath Robot, and UiPath Orchestrator.
UiPath Studio has great tools for the development of automation and contains several activities that help in the development of projects.
In addition, we can program numerous tasks that a human being would normally do, such as entering websites with dynamic pages through the web Record or UiExplorer functionality or entering desktop applications that are not normally detectable that are accessible with UiPath.
We also have a powerful robot management and control system, called the UiPath Orchestrator. We can use it as a mobile app to run, schedule, and cancel our robots wherever and whenever we want.
There would certainly be much more to talk about UiPath as a whole, but I leave that for a future article.
RPA is ultimately about technology that portrays the future. Little by little, the human being is being replaced by machines, and due to the accelerated development of technology, this substitution is also accelerating.
That said, it is certain that RPA will have advantages and disadvantages. The question is: will we have more advantages than disadvantages?
Many say that robots came to improve our quality of life, but many also fear that this improvement could also have consequences. Is it the right exchange in the business world? I believe that what we can do for now is to wait and see.
Until then, if you have more questions about what value RPA can add to a company, feel free to comment on this article or to contact us directly.

“Think About Where You’d Like to Be in 5 Years – CU Anschutz Can Help”
Indian Researcher Shares Passion For ScienceJan 17, 2022
As a scientist with a broad interest in the fields of RNA biology, translation regulation, RNA aptamers and synthetic biology, postdoctoral researcher Ankita Arora has found the perfect professional home at the University of Colorado Denver Anschutz Medical Campus. With six professional schools offering more than 40 degrees, dozens of research laboratories, two of America’s top hospitals, and $650+ million awarded in research grants annually, CU Anschutz provides a breadth and depth of diverse opportunities.
Arora is exploring these opportunities to build a career that combines research, writing, advocacy, and community outreach.
"When not running experiments in the lab, I put on my writers' hat on to advocate for diversity, equity and inclusion in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math),” explained Arora.“ Her aim is to decrease disparity and increase diversity in the STEM fields, and she has taught and mentored young students from underserved backgrounds in both the United States and India,” explained Arora. “ Her aim is to decrease disparity and increase diversity in the STEM fields, and she has taught and mentored young students from underserved backgrounds in both the United States and India.
“I’m interested in exploring the intersection of health care and policy to better understand how each can complement the other for the greater good.”
In the Taliaferro lab, Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics, Arora joins with colleagues in studying how the expression of genetic information is spatially regulated within a cell. Researchers in the lab use experimental and computational methods to better understand mechanisms behind the RNA sequences and protein factors that regulate transport in brain cell lines, and how disruption of processes can result in neurological disease.
Her interest in science began at an early age, with two major influences. One of her cousins has cerebral palsy, resulting from a brain disorder caused by a lack of oxygen during the child’s birth. “I wanted to go into research and learn more about the root causes of conditions and health problems,” explained Arora.
The second pivotal event happened during 9th grade on a visit to a book show. She discovered an introductory book about biotechnology and gene technology. Written for school children, it described the ways that research and development in these fields could support solutions throughout health care.
Arora immersed herself in learning “how things work at the deepest molecular level,” in particular, RNA molecules. As she describes them to young students, “DNA is the blueprint, RNA acts as a reader of the blueprint to make proteins, and proteins are the factory that enables the function of the cell.”
Earning a bachelor’s degree in biomedical science at Delhi University, she continued into advanced studies, earning a master’s in biotechnology from the Indian Institute of Technology in Bombay, and a doctoral degree from Ruprecht-Karls-Universitat Heidelberg in Germany. She speaks English, Hindi, and German.
When applying for a postdoc position in the United States, Arora heard that CU Anschutz had received a grant to expand the RNA Bioscience Initiative. She was excited about the opportunity to become involved in a visionary, innovative program.
Along with options for professional development, she has found a welcoming environment at CU Anschutz.
“My colleagues have been friendly and supportive; they helped me find information, lab mates, and even housing. The Post-Doctoral Association at CU Anschutz is a great resource.”
Arora has also found help in the Office of International Affairs (OIA). “Especially during these challenging times with the pandemic and travel restrictions, the International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS) office keeps everyone informed. They explain interpretations of government policies and the next steps that are necessary to ensure that we’re following the correct immigration rules and guidelines.”
“The goal of ISSS is to ensure that international scholars like Arora, who have so much to offer the campus community and to contribute to their chosen field of research, are able to effectively navigate the U.S. immigration systems to reach their own professional dreams and aspirations,” said Michelle Larson-Krieg, Director, International Student and Scholar Services.
Additionally, OIA facilitates social, cultural, and recreational opportunities for international scholars as well as students. “OIA’s What’s App group for international scholars gives us a virtual space to discuss living and working in the U.S., ask questions, and enjoy time together.”
For recreation, Arora joins friends and associates on hikes in the nearby scenic Rocky Mountains. “I love being outdoors in this beautiful environment; you can see all four seasons change here in Colorado.” Arora’s parents had visited Denver a few years ago, and they wholeheartedly agree.
For international students who are considering advanced studies in the U.S., Arora advises, “The first thing is to get in touch with the Graduate School at the University of Colorado Denver | Anschutz Medical Campus, and with OIA. They can help you immensely, and connect you with people in your field of study.”
She also recommends maintaining a focus on your future. “The other thing is, when you’re in graduate school, think about where you’d like to be in five years. Use the CU Anschutz campus not only to learn, but also to help you with definitive steps toward your career.
“If there is something that you want to do or learn, you can definitely reach out and find someone to help.”

Long time readers of International Adviser will know that I periodically like to get up on my soapbox and lament something in the industry (or world at large).
On more than one occasion, the subject of a wealth tax has cropped up.
In October, I looked at whether it was time to stop calling for one given that the Conservative government was highly unlikely to impose additional levies on the rich (and powerful).
There is also the argument that post-Brexit Britain needs to be an attractive destination for international companies and businesspeople, and taxing wealth will see them opt for friendlier climes.
But those points are quickly being dwarfed by the ballooning UK debt pile, which is set to hit £76bn a year by the end of the decade, according to the Resolution Foundation.
“A new approach will be needed to manage these extra costs as previous approaches of shrinking defence spending and raising National Insurance are likely to run out of road,” the independent think tank said.
Unwise, toxic or undesirable
The Resolution Foundation report adds that the UK also faces fresh spending pressure, during the 2020s, from its net zero transition, where the additional public investment required may cost around £14bn a year by 2030.
The fiscal impact of the net zero transition will also be seen in lost tax revenues. It estimates that electric vehicle adoption will result in an £8bn reduction in the fuel duty take.
The report warns that simply repeating the strategies of the past to manage the £76bn fiscal headwind would be:
- Unwise – such as cutting investment spending at a time when the net zero transition must be accelerated,
- Politically toxic – such as ending the NHS’ free at the point of use principle; or,
- Undesirable – such as further NI increases.
It adds that the pattern of further tax rises falling disproportionately on pay packets via National Insurance, as is the case with the recent Health and Social Care Levy, cannot be repeated.
Governments overseeing a higher tax take should refocus on ensuring that tax is collected efficiently and fairly, including by exploring Britain’s booming, but under-taxed, level of household wealth, which has grown from three times national income in the early 1980s to almost eight times national income today, the report added.
Better taxing wealth
Dan Tomlinson, senior economist at the Resolution Foundation, said: “The swift demographic change that Britain will experience in the 2020s alongside rising health costs is set to increase public spending by £76bn a year. We’ll all benefit from people living longer, healthier lives – as well as reducing our carbon footprint – but it will have to be paid for.
“Over the past seven decades we’ve expanded the NHS, the state pension and education spending, and managed those costs by shrinking the army and growing the size of the state on the back of higher National Insurance contributions.
“But we’re unlikely to be able to simply repeat that approach in future. We’ll need to tax income more efficiently and fairly, and find new sources of tax revenue such as from better taxing wealth.
“The recent row over the £13bn health and social care levy – and the unsatisfactory answer of raising National Insurance contributions yet again – is small fry compared to some of the tax raising decisions that may be required later in the 2020s. When it comes to tax, more of the same is not the answer.”
Given that the Tories have announced and doubled down on plans to introduce the deeply unpopular health and social care levy – it might pave the way for them to adopt other, less popular measures.

With a well marked low pressure over southwest Madhya Pradesh and north Maharashtra, most parts of Gujarat are set to receive moderate to heavy rainfall over the next three days with intensity likely to increase over the weekend.
The weather department has forecast moderate to rather heavy rain or thundershowers at most places in the districts of north, central and south Gujarat along with union territories of Daman, Dadra Nagar Haveli. The district in Saurashtra-Kutch region are also likely to received significant amount of rainfall, they said.
“A well marked low pressure area now lies over southwest Madhya Pradesh and adjoining north Maharashtra with associated upper cyclonic circulation extending up to 7.6 km above sea level,” said the forecast issued by the Indian Meteorological Department, Ahmedabad. The offshore trough from Gujarat to Lakshdweep area also persisted in the Arabian Sea, they added.
According to the regional director of IMD, Jayant Sarkar, heavy to moderate rainfall is likely in all places of the state. “After September 11 we will analyse the situation and make further prediction,” he added.
During the day heavy to moderate rainfall was recorded in many parts of central, north and South Gujarat. Highest rainfall was recorded in Godhra 144mm, followed by Godhra (114mm), Sankheda (113mm) Nasvadi (110mm), Borsad (110mm), Nadidad (107mm), Morva Hadaf (104 mm), Umarpada (103mm) and Sanjeli (100mm).
Over all Gujarat has received over 80 per cent of the total season’s rainfall till Monday. Whereas the water storage level had gone up to 76 per cent of the total capacity.
According to the Narmada Water Resources and Water Supply department, total storage capacity of all the dams in Gujarat was 21,014.94 million cubic meter (mcm) against which as on September 8 storage was 15,956.78 million cubic meters.
Narmada dam overflows
The Sardar Sarovar Dam on river Narmada has started overflowing and the water level is likely to increase further over the next couple of days following heavy rain in the catchment areas. The water level in the dam located in Narmada district has reached 124.60 meters. The crescent height of the dam is 121.92 meters.
The Narmada district administration has issued warning to 39 villages located downstream of the dam. The outflow from the dam at 124 meters is estimated to be around 200,000 cubic feet per second. The increase in water level is also due to release of water from upstream dams in Madhya Pradesh.
“The water in Sardar Sarovar dam on Narmada river was flowing at 124.60 meters. With the current level of flow the level is likely to rise 30 cm every hour,” said Narmada district collector Rahul Gupta. He said that warnings have been issued to 39 village in the downstream areas of the dam which include 26 villages in Tilakwada and 13 villages in Garudeshwar talukas of the district.

Oireachtas Joint and Select Committees
Wednesday, 22 September 2021
Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
National Cyber Security Centre Review: Discussion
Yes, absolutely. This kind of attack is easy to originate. You can originate it from any part of the world and direct it suddenly from one continent to another. You cannot defend against it without co-operation, so it absolutely requires co-operation between like-minded nations to deal with it. During the response to the ransomware attack on the HSE, we were contacted by the Polish authorities, who had been attacked by the same group, and they shared very useful information with us. We worked with the New Zealand authorities. There is a lot of European co-operation and also co-operation between countries that are in NATO and countries that are not NATO members at every level, including police force level. That will continue to happen. We will have the capacity to do it, and that is what the capacity review is all about. It is about saying what resources we will need each year for the coming five years to achieve this. Our response to that report is to go beyond it and say: "Yes, we accept this and we will put in more resources than you recommended."

If you are to talk about hiring a lawyer, some people would quickly assume you are facing some immigration, business, divorce, personal injury and malpractice cases to handle. What they don’t know is that they would need to consult a lawyer often if they own a website. It has been established that owning a website may come with some hitches that only a reliable lawyer would resolve. One thing you would note once you own a website is that it is possible for someone else to interfere with the privacy of that website against your will.
The reason you see some technology legal experts working on the technology law is to be sure that those who own websites don’t suffer when they should not. If you want to be disseminating information concerning your business in a more terrific way, you should think of owning a website. It is good to know that the cookies would be responsible for collecting the sent basic data the users need. What some people don’t know is that in the process of sending data, privacy implications may occur requiring them to hire competent lawyers for website owners.

To find out how many people are true workaholics, researchers from the University of Bergen
surveyed thousands of people in Norway using the Bergen Work Addiction Scale
, which uses diagnostic criteria for several kinds of addiction.
“In traditional addictions, it is typical that there are common underlying and maybe genetic vulnerabilities … but it has never been looked at in the field of workaholism,” said lead researcher and clinical psychologist Cecilie Schou Andreassen
The link to ADHD
The researchers analyzed responses from 16,426 working adults between the ages of 16 and 75 years old who represented a range of socioeconomic backgrounds.
They also found that 32.7% of workaholics met criteria for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (compared with 12.7% of non-workaholics), suggesting a significant link between work addiction and ADHD.

Minister gives service sermon on Police Day
Kathmandu, October 16:
Deputy Prime Minister and Home Minister Bamdev Gautam today directed the Nepal Police to maintain security in the country and work for the people.
“The responsibility of the government is to establish lasting peace and draft the new constitution,” Gautam said while addressing the 53rd Police Day organised by the Nepal Police here.
The police should serve the people, he said. “The law violators would not be spared and impunity would be put to a stop,” he said, praising the contribution of those policemen, who sacrificed their lives for the country.
Inspector General of Police Hem Bahadur Gurung said he would work to weaken the anti-police elements and strengthen the organisation.
Various cultural programmes were also organised to mark the Police Day and Gautam also presented awards to the some police personnel for their performers this year.
Earlier, IGP Gurung said the police would focus on professionalism.
Addressing a condolence meeting at the Police Headquarters, Gurung said establishing law and order, smoothing departmental strategies and properly managing human resources fall under the priority of the police.
On the occasion, Gurung garlanded the statues of Amar Prahari (martyrs) and honoured the family members of three police personnel — Inspector Rishi Raj Acharya, police constables Bindeswor Prasad Saha and Kishor Kumar Rai — who were declared martyrs this year.
According to the police, as many as 1,496 policemen lost their life while serving for the nation.

Who says you need a big aquarium in order to have a thriving reef tank?
It is frequently said that you need a large aquarium in order to keep a captive reef with any long-term success. While a large tank certainly has its advantages, with water parameter stability being one of them, it’s not a requisite to a healthy, happy reef. Aquariums can come in all shapes and sizes, and as long as you follow a stringent maintenance routine, even the smallest of aquariums can not only thrive, but be showpieces as well. The tank above is not necessarily a stellar setup, but it is successful. The corals and the clam are simply thriving in their tiny acrylic box.
Now, the inhabitants will quickly outgrow their living space, but that’s a problem for even big tanks. The key thing to note is that it can be done, pretty much regardless of size.

Gravity separation method is one of the common methods in gold recovery, which is to separate the materials by different specific gravity and different settling velocity in the medium.For the arenaceous gold deposit, the gold mostly exists in the form of monomer natural gold, which has large density difference with gangues.
In recent years, due to the rapid rise of gold price, the economic benefits of gold mining and production companies have been significantly improved, and a large number of advanced world-renowned mineral processing equipment have been applied in China,these equipment include: crushing and screening equipment produced by Metro and Sandvik, Knelson Concentrator, etc.
The major methods of recovering gold are gravity separation, gold flotation, cyanide.

Canadians say 'don't attack Iraq'
rfidler at cyberus.ca
Wed Nov 20 16:39:02 MST 2002
>>There appears to be a national anti-war coalition of trade unions, church
groups, student groups, NDP and peace groups that pulled off these
coordinated demonstrations [in Canada]. <<
Actually, no national (federal) coalition, but a lot of local coalitions
that are in most instances very broad and non-exclusive, and informally
linked with each other. So far as I can tell, no political current or
tendency dominates, although members of the New Democratic Party are
probably active in most coalitions.
Here's another report:
Canadians say 'don't attack Iraq'
by Erin George
November 19, 2002 (rabble.ca)
Across Canada this past weekend, despite miserable weather, more than 35,000
people demonstrated against the threatened war on Iraq.
Actions were held on November 15, 16 or 17 across Canada, from Victoria to
Thunder Bay to Charlottetown, in communities big and small.
Muslims and Arabs, students, peaceniks, trade unionists, seniors,
environmentalists, Aboriginal people, anti-racists, people of faith, raging
grannies, parents, kids, street theatre performers and anti-war organizers
braved gale force winds, blinding snow storms, freezing rain and sub-zero
temperatures to take their message into the streets across the country.
Canadians are part of a growing worldwide opposition to war on Iraq. One
million people filled the streets of Florence, Italy, November 9 in
opposition to the war. In the belly of the beast, 200,000 surrounded the
White House in Washington, D.C. and 75,000 rallied in San Francisco on
October 26. And 400,000 marched in London, England, September 28, in a
demonstration co-sponsored by the Coalition to Stop the War and the Muslim
Association of Britain.
All this before the war has even started.
Everywhere organizers and participants were adamant in their disgust for the
"anti-democratic and brutal" regime of Saddam Hussein. They expressed
solidarity with the people of Iraq who not only suffer under the
dictatorship but have also endured the 1991 Gulf War and twelve years of
United Nations' sanctions. An estimated 1.5 million Iraqis have died as a
result of these sanctions that prevent the Iraqi people from accessing basic
food, medicine and water.
In Edmonton, Patti Harnagel from End the Arms Race told the crowd of 750
that "the U.S. Congress didn't stop the Vietnam War. The people stopped the
Confidence is so high this time, many people believe this war can be stopped
before it starts.
Slogans included the standard "No blood for oil," a popular chant during the
demonstrations against the 1991 Gulf War. A new generation, also recognizing
this as just another war for profit, has livened up the slogan. In Halifax,
300 chanted "No, no we won't go, we won't kill for Texaco," and in Toronto
8,000 shouted "Exxon, Mobil, BP, Shell, take your war and go to hell."
In Montreal, 5,000 linked their opposition to war to the struggle for
Palestinian human rights.
Without exception, in every city, there was an incredible response to the
actions from pedestrians, motorists, and transit drivers. Pedestrians
readily accepted leaflets and in some cases joined the march. Motorists
honked their horns madly in support and took placards and signs to post in
their windows. And streetcar and bus drivers joined in the fray, ringing and
honking their opposition to war.
The biggest demonstration by far was in Vancouver, where euphoria from the
left slate's victory in the recent municipal election swept people into the
streets. Fifteen thousand marched through the rain chanting "Chrétien, Bush
and Blair, we'll resist you everywhere."
In smaller communities, like Tofino, Brandon, Thunder Bay, Midland, and
Sydney, where protesters numbered in the tens rather than in the hundreds
and thousands, organizers said the turnout was a "positive beginning." Many
of these communities used the day of action to launch a petition campaign
calling for Prime Minister Jean Chrétien not support war on Iraq.
Organizers said the anti-war movement is just getting started. They put the
call out for the next pan-Canadian anti-war days of action January 18 and
"The liberal government here will face a political crisis like they have
never known if they decide to support a war on the people of Iraq," said
Faline Bobier, emcee of the Toronto rally and member of the Toronto
Coalition Against Sanctions and War on Iraq.

POSITION STATEMENT It is the position of Dietitians of Canada that household food insecurity is a serious public health issue with profound effects on physical and mental health and social well-being. All households in Canada must have sufficient income for secure access to nutritious food after paying for other basic necessities. Given the alarming prevalence, severity and impact of household food insecurity in Canada, Dietitians of Canada calls for a pan-Canadian, government-led strategy to specifically reduce food insecurity at the household level, including policies that address the unique challenges of household food insecurity among Indigenous Peoples. Regular monitoring of the prevalence and severity of household food insecurity across all of Canada is required. Research must continue to address gaps in knowledge about household vulnerability to food insecurity and to evaluate the impact of policies developed to eliminate household food insecurity in Canada. Dietitians of Canada recommends: Development and implementation of a pan-Canadian government-led strategy that includes coordinated policies and programs, to ensure all households have consistent and sufficient income to be able to pay for basic needs, including food. Implementation of a federally-supported strategy to comprehensively address the additional and unique challenges related to household food insecurity among Indigenous Peoples, including assurance of food sovereignty, with access to lands and resources, for acquiring traditional/country foods, as well as improved access to more affordable and healthy store-bought/market foods in First Nation reserves and northern and remote communities. Commitment to mandatory, annual monitoring and reporting of the prevalence of marginal, moderate and severe household food insecurity in each province and territory across Canada, including among vulnerable populations, as well as regular evaluation of the impact of poverty reduction and protocols for screening within the health care system. Support for continued research to address gaps in knowledge about populations experiencing greater prevalence and severity of household food insecurity and to inform the implementation and evaluation of strategies and policies that will eliminate household food insecurity in Canada.
Trends in food retailing associated with the consolidation of smaller-format retailers into fewer, larger-format supercentres have left some rural areas with fewer sources of nutritious, affordable food. Access to nutritious, affordable food is essential for good dietary habits and combating health issues such as type-2 diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disease. Many studies on food environments use inaccurate or incomplete methods for locating food retailers, which may be responsible for mischaracterising food deserts. This study uses databases of every residence in and every food retailer in and around Middlesex County, Ontario, Canada. Residences were geocoded to their precise address, and network analysis techniques were performed in a geographic information system (GIS) to determine distances between every residence and different types of food retailers (grocery stores, fast food, fruit and vegetable sources, grocery stores plus fruit and vegetable sources, variety stores), both when considering and neglecting facilities outside the area of study, to account for a deficiency in analysis termed the 'edge effect'.
Analysis of household accessibility to food outlets by neighbourhood socioeconomic distress level indicated that residents in the most distressed neighbourhoods tended to have better accessibility to all types of food retailers. In the most distressed neighbourhoods, 79 percent of residences were within walking distance of a grocery store, compared to only 10 percent in the least distressed neighbourhoods. When the edge effect was neglected, 37 percent of distance estimates proved inaccurate. Average accessibility to all food retailer types improved dramatically when food outlets adjacent to the study area were considered, thereby controlling for the edge effect.
By neglecting to consider food retailers just outside study area boundaries, previous studies may significantly over-report the actual distance necessary to travel for food. Research on food access spanning large rural regions requires methods that accurately geocode residents and their food sources. By implementing methods akin to those in this paper, future research will be better able to identify areas with poor food accessibility. Improving identification of food desert communities is a first step in facilitating more effective deployment of food policies and programs in those communities.

Low-income people are most vulnerable to food insecurity; many turn to community and/or charitable food programs to receive free or low-cost food. This needs assessment aims to collect information on the barriers to accessing food programs, the opportunities for improving food access, the barriers to eating fresh vegetables and fruit, and the opportunities to increasing their consumption among food-insecure people in Cobourg, Ontario.
We interviewed food program clients using structured individual interviews consisting of mostly opened-ended questions.
Food program clients identified barriers to using food programs as lack of transportation and the food programs having insufficient quantities of food or inconvenient operating hours. They also stated a lack of available vegetables and fruit at home, and income as barriers to eating more vegetables and fruit, but suggested a local fresh fruit and vegetable bulk-buying program called "Good Food Box" and community gardens as opportunities to help increase their vegetable and fruit intake.
Many of the barriers and opportunities identified can be addressed by working with community partners to help low-income individuals become more food secure.
To examine associations between the availability of residential-area food sources and dietary patterns among seniors.
Cross-sectional analyses. Individual-level data from the NuAge study on nutrition and healthy ageing were merged with geographic information system data on food store availability and area-level social composition. Two dietary patterns reflecting lower- and higher-quality diets (respectively designated 'western' and 'prudent') were identified from FFQ data. Two food source relative availability measures were calculated for a 500 m road-network buffer around participants' homes: (i) proportion of fast-food outlets (%FFO) relative to all restaurants and (ii) proportion of stores potentially selling healthful foods (%HFS, healthful food stores) relative to all food stores. Associations between dietary patterns and food source exposure were tested in linear regression models accounting for individual (health and sociodemographic) and area-level (socio-economic and ethnicity) covariates.

Urban-dwelling older adults (n 751), aged 68 to 84 years.

Nutrition North Canada (NNC) is a retail subsidy program implemented in 2012 and designed to reduce the cost of nutritious food for residents living in Canada's remote, northern communities. The present study evaluates the extent to which NNC provides access to perishable, nutritious food for residents of remote northern communities.
Program documents, including fiscal and food cost reports for the period 2011-2015, retailer compliance reports, audits of the program, and the program's performance measurement strategy are examined for evidence that the subsidy is meeting its objectives in a manner both comprehensive and equitable across regions and communities.
NNC lacks price caps or other means of ensuring food is affordable and equitably priced in communities. Gaps in food cost reporting constrain the program's accountability. From 2011-15, no adjustments were made to community eligibility, subsidy rates, or the list of eligible foods in response to information provided by community members, critics, the Auditor General of Canada, and the program's own Advisory Board. Measures to increase program accountability, such as increasing subsidy information on point-of-sale receipts, make NNC more visible but do nothing to address underlying accountability issues Conclusions: The current structure and regulatory framework of NNC are insufficient to ensure the program meets its goal. Both the volume and cost of nutritious food delivered to communities is highly variable and dependent on factors such as retailers' pricing practices, over which the program has no control. It may be necessary to consider alternative forms of policy in order to produce sustainable improvements to food security in remote, northern communities.

Few authors have investigated the institutional character of charitable food programs and their capacity to address food security in Canada.
We surveyed food program managers at charitable agencies in Greater Victoria, British Columbia. We discuss the structure of the "system" of charitable food provision, the value of sourced food, types of services provided, clients' demographic profile, and the estimated healthfulness of meals served. We also describe the proportion of major food types purchased and donated to agencies.
Thirty-six agencies served approximately 20,000 meals a week to about 17,000 people. Food valued at $3.2 million was purchased or donated; approximately 50% was donated, mainly by corporations. The largest value of food purchased and donated was from meat and alternatives (40.9%) and nonperishable food items (16%). Dairy products made up the smallest share of donated foods.
Charitable food programs in Victoria depend on food donations. The proportion of dairy products and produce is low, which raises questions about the healthfulness of foods currently fed to homeless and poor people in the city.
With political support from the Danish Organic Action Plan 2020, organic public procurement in Denmark is expected to increase. In order to evaluate changes in organic food procurement in Danish public kitchens, reliable methods are needed. The present study aimed to compare organic food procurement measurements by two methods and to collect and discuss baseline organic food procurement measurements from public kitchens participating in the Danish Organic Action Plan 2020.
Comparison study measuring organic food procurement by applying two different methods, one based on the use of procurement invoices (the Organic Cuisine Label method) and the other on self-reported procurement (the Dogme method). Baseline organic food procurement status was based on organic food procurement measurements and background information from public kitchens.
Public kitchens participating in the six organic food conversion projects funded by the Danish Organic Action Plan 2020 during 2012 and 2013.
Twenty-six public kitchens (comparison study) and 345 public kitchens (baseline organic food procurement status).
A high significant correlation coefficient was found between the two organic food procurement measurement methods (r=0·83, P
Taxation of unhealthy food is considered a regulation tool to improve diets. In 2011 Denmark introduced a tax on saturated fat in food products, the first country in the world to do so. The objective of the present paper is to investigate the effects of the tax on consumers' intake of saturated fat within three different types of food product group: minced beef, regular cream and sour cream.
We use an augmented version of the Linearized Almost Ideal Demand System (LAIDS) functional form for econometric analysis, allowing for tax-induced structural breaks.
Data originate from one of the largest retail chains in Denmark (Coop Danmark) and cover January 2010 to October 2012, with monthly records of sales volume, sales revenue and information about specific campaigns from 1293 stores.
The Danish fat tax had an insignificant or small negative effect on the price for low- and medium-fat varieties, and led to a 13-16 % price increase for high-fat varieties of minced beef and cream products. The tax induced substitution effects, budget effects and preference change effects on consumption, yielding a total decrease of 4-6 % in the intake of saturated fat from minced beef and regular cream, and a negligible effect on the intake from sour cream.
The Danish introduction of a tax on saturated fat in food in October 2011 had statistically significant effects on the sales of fat in minced beef and cream products, but the tax seems to have reduced the beyond-recommendation saturated fat intake to only a limited extent.
Through extensive dietary and dental surveys among infants and children living in Hawai'i starting in the late 1920s, medical researchers transformed immigrant and indigenous children's mouths into objects of pathological comparison, establishing sites of alternative empirical and epistemological contact that are endemic to U.S. Pacific empire. These studies resulted in the extension of odontoclasia, a veterinary diagnosis, from dogs to humans. As a dietary antidote, researchers recommended the wider consumption of poi, a starchy Hawaiian staple. Although this appears to be a novel endorsement of indigenous foodways predating contemporary activist efforts to reinstate traditional food cultures to support indigenous health, narrow technocratic specificity and the biomedical emphasis on the cultural rather than structural etiology of odontoclasia marginalized Hawaiian health by reducing morbidity to failures to conform to U.S. imperial modernity, which included industrial medical surveillance on plantations. Conversely, doctors credited plantations for saving Filipinos through successful imperial and hygienic assimilation.

OIL AND GAS FLOW METERS SELECTION CRITERIA
Omar Said, Abdullah Musbahi and Hassan Milad Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Elmergib, Algarabolli, Libya
Abstract – Accurate measurement of liquid/gas flow rate in oil and gas industry is significantly important. There are several types of flow meters used for this purpose. Selecting the most appropriate flow meter is sometimes a bewildering task. The aim of this work is to study different types of flow meters used in oil and gas industry and create a selection criteria based on several factors such as flow meter principle, pipe size, conductivity, meter position, fluid type, accuracy and some others.
Index Terms – flow, meter, selection criteria
Industrial flow measurements include measuring of flow rate of liquids and gases. There are two basic ways of measuring flow, volumetrically or by mass. Volumetric flow is expressed in volume units (barrel/day, gallon/hour, liters/minute, etc.) whereas mass flow is expressed in mass units (Tonnes/hour, Kg/minute, etc.) .
Flow meters are devices used to measure the rate of flow of fluid and gas. These devices are generally classified into four groups (i.e. differential pressure flow meters, electronic flow meters, mass flow meters and mechanical flow meters) .
Characteristics of each flow meter type make it special for a particular application. One of the most important fluid characteristics affecting flow measurement is the shape of the velocity profile in the direction of flow. Flow measurement is also affected by Viscosity which is a measure of a fluid’s internal friction. The more “viscous” a fluid is the “thicker” it is when stirred. Clean water is an example of a low-viscosity liquid, while honey at room temperature is an example of a high-viscosity liquid .
A study was made for the following flow meter types:
- Orifice Plate
- Venturi Tube
- Variable Area
- Positive Displacement
The advantages and disadvantages of the above mentioned flow meters have been gathered in table 1 and were taken into consideration when creating the selection criteria.
The selection of a flow meter for an industrial application is influenced by complex desired data. Table 2 shows the flow meters selection criteria based on several factors.

Due to the variety of oil and gas flow meters, attempt was made through this paper to simplify the flow meter selection task. The generated selection criterion helps, to some extent, the instrumentation and control engineers in choosing the most suitable flow meter. Consulting flow meters manufacturers by providing them all relating process and piping data is sometimes still required. For some applications, there might be more than one suitable flow meter, but usually there is only one type which has the best suitability.
There are many companies that compete in the field of flow meter design. Each type of these devices has a series of designs which intend to overcome some of the disadvantages and give it extra features.

Aims: Fe3O4 nanoparticles (NPs) have been known to provide a distinct image contrast effect for magnetic resonance imaging owing to their super paramagnetic properties on local magnetic fields. However, the possible effects of these NPs on membrane ion currents that concurrently induce local magnetic field perturbation remain unclear.
Methods: We evaluated whether amine surface-modified Fe3O4 NPs have any effect on ion currents in pituitary tumor (GH3) cells via voltage clamp methods.
Results: The addition of Fe3O4 NPs decreases the amplitude of membrane electroporation-induced currents (IMEP) with a half-maximal inhibitory concentration at 45 µg/mL. Fe3O4 NPs at a concentration of 3 mg/mL produced a biphasic response in the amplitude of IMEP, ie, an initial decrease followed by a sustained increase. A similar effect was also noted in RAW 264.7 macrophages.
Conclusion: The modulation of magnetic electroporation-induced currents by Fe3O4 NPs constitutes an important approach for cell tracking under various imaging modalities or facilitated drug delivery.

The UK's oil and gas sector is reinventing itself to attract much needed investment, a new report suggests.
As the industry continues to grapple with the challenges of a major downturn caused by the oil price slump, a report by Oil & Gas UK found the tide is starting to turn.
The trade body's annual review of industry performance found the UK's North Sea region may soon start to benefit from a badly needed investment boost with almost $6bn (£4.6bn) worth of mergers and acquisitions taking place in the sector in the first half of the year.
This year's economic report found companies were becoming more efficient and competitive, the cost of lifting oil out of the North Sea almost halved from 2014 and production increased by 16 per cent since 2014.
“Our sector is successfully re-positioning through efficiency and cost improvements. We are transforming in a way that is getting UK oil and gas back in the game," said Deirdre Michie, chief executive at Oil & Gas UK.
Scott McClurg, head of energy at HSBC Corporate Banking, added: “The time has come for revolution, not evolution, in the UK oil and gas sector.
"The convergence of technological advancement and cost pressures associated with the oil price slump has led to bold thinking and opened up fresh investment opportunities. Ambitious change also makes UK firms stand apart in a global transitional race."
However, Michie added the industry still needs further investment to generate new activity and sustain the 300,000 UK jobs it supports.
She called on the government to develop a clear energy policy that reinforces the role for oil and gas in the industrial strategy, support a sector deal and confirm in the Autumn Budget that the decommissioning tax relief will be modified to support further investment activity.
If interest in the basin translates to tangible activity, it could help unlock around £40bn worth of potential development opportunities.
“It’s vital that industry and government work together to secure our future. There are billions of barrels of oil and gas still to go after in our own back yard. Government and industry must make the most of the opportunity offered by our sector," Michie said.
McClurg added that data will play a big part in the success of the UK's oil and gas sector.
"The North Sea is still rich with opportunity, but no longer simply because of the barrels of oil – data, not drilling, is part of the sector’s future," McClurg said.


Clarendon officials appeal to residents of flood prone areas
Clarendon municipal officials are pleading with residents of southern Clarendon to leave low-lying and flood prone areas as the Met Service forecast increase showers up to Thursday.
Sections of the parish, including Toll Gate and Portland Cottage, were flooded over the weekend.
However, chairman of the Clarendon Municipal Corporation, Winston Maragh, says the effects have not been as severe as flooding two weeks ago that affected more than 1,000 homes and resulted in damage worth almost $90 million.
Maragh says shelter managers are on alert in case of any emergency.
The Meteorological Service says weather conditions are expected to deteriorate today as a tropical wave moves across the island.
It says periods of light to moderate, and at times, heavy showers with isolated thunderstorms are expected to continue to affect sections of all parishes until Thursday.
A trough that is currently across the island is expected to linger for the next three days.
