This paper discusses the Wet Electrostatic Precipitator (ESP)- Wire-Plate Type and how it is used in machines to reduce pollution. It has information about its cost, theory of its operation, advantages of using it, and disadvantages of using it.

This report examines the role of the field of psychology in understanding and dealing with global climate change. The report explores the psychological drivers for contributing to climate change and the psychological barriers to action in response to the threat of climate change. The report makes policy recommendations based on its findings.

This report is about the status of existing reduced dimensional models of the dynamics of the Louisiana Coastal Current. Local, wind-driven models reproduce credibly the flow variability during the winter season.

This report provides a tutorial for the climate analysis and decision-making communities on current best practice in describing and analyzing uncertainty in climate-related problems.

An historical evaluation and documentation of the offshore oil and gas industry and its impact on the economy of Southern Louisiana from its inception in the early decades of the twentieth century.

The purpose of this retrospective is to inform the water and sanitation industry and the general public about technologies deployed in rural Alaskan villages between ~1970 and 2005. We indicate, per interviewee input, why the majority failed on a technical level or failed to provide adequate water on an as-used basis to improve health outcomes. This retrospective will supplement prior, and often meager, documentation of unsuccessful approaches to water and sanitation in Alaska, as both a cautionary tale and as a benchmark against which progress can be made.

This guide is designed to ensure a cleaner and healthier environments through the promotion of market based pollution control methods of cap and trade.

This is the second volume of four. This study looks at the possible remains of prehistoric peoples for the use with archaeology and palaeontology.

This publication looks at human communities and their interactions with the environment.

This report evaluates the damage cause by Hurricane Rita to the benthic habitats of four banks: Sonnier, McGrail, Geyer, and Bright. They measured the damage to bank caps the community structure, and used SCUBA to video record the evidence.

This report discusses the strategic scientific plan for the United States Climate Variability & Predictability Program.

This guide is intended to address the psychological and mental health needs of women veterans, which includes best practices.

The field of education is increasingly committed to adopting evidence-based practices. Although randomized experimental designs provide strong evidence of the causal effects of interventions, they are not always feasible. For example, depending upon the research question, it may be difficult for researchers to find the number of children necessary for such research designs (e.g., to answer questions about impacts for children with low-incidence disabilities). A type of experimental design that is well suited for such low-incidence populations is the single-case design (SCD). These designs involve observations of a single case (e.g., a child or a classroom) over time in the absence and presence of an experimenter-controlled treatment manipulation to determine whether the outcome is systematically related to the treatment. Research using SCD is often omitted from reviews of whether evidence-based practices work because there has not been a common metric to gauge effects as there is in group design research. To address this issue, the National Center for Education Research (NCER) and National Center for Special Education Research (NCSER) commissioned a paper by leading experts in methodology and SCD. Authors William Shadish, Larry Hedges, Robert Horner, and Samuel Odom contend that the best way to ensure that SCD research is …

This study examines the expansion of offshore oil and gas development and its effects on shaping Louisiana's culture, geography, society and economy.
