Reconciling the Tensions Between Environmental Protection and Sustainable Develepment. The Case of Cameroon
Master's Thesis from the year 2021 in the subject Environmental Sciences, grade: A, University of Buea (Faculty of Laws and Political Sciences), course: International Law, language: English, abstract: The environment is essential in sustaining humanity, yet its protection has come under some criticism over the years due to its impact on the development and economic ambitions of many. This study, therefore, sets out to investigate the inconsistency between environmental protection and sustainable development, locate the tensions that emanate thereof and highlight measures available under international law to reconcile these conflicting interest. In view of this task, the researcher employs a qualitative research methodology specifically the doctrinal method to be able to scoop through a myriad of related literature to make verbal analysis of key issues canvassed in the thesis. The researcher equally engaged in focus group discussions with some indigenes in local communities to get their views and appreciation of various programs and projects around their communities.
Designing of a PV/Wind/Diesel Hybrid Energy System
This is an original study, where I designed an Energy Power System combining 2 Renewable Energy Sources (Sun and Wind) with a stand-by Diesel engine to electrify a small living compound in a remote location in Sudan (Africa). In this design the initial system cost was 31,250 $ which considered a small fraction from the cost of erecting the HV transmission lines which according to Sudanese Ministry of Energy and Mining might cost 30,000 $ for each 1 Km, while some rural communities in remote areas can be a hundreds kilometers away from the national grid. The huge cost of building a distribution substation should be also considered. I hope it will be beneficial for researchers and students and a quick reference in its field.
Evidence Mercury Causes Alzheimer's Disease
Evidence That Mercury Causes Alzheimer's Disease provides scientific proof that mercury can cause Alzheimer's disease. The cause of Alzheimer's disease (AD) has been a mystery for well over a century when it was first identified by Alois Alzheimer, M.D., a German psychiatrist, in 1907. It has affected millions of people worldwide who have suffered and succumbed to this malady.Dr. Siblerud has identified 70 factors involved in Alzheimer's disease that all can be explained by mercury toxicity. The World Health Organization (WHO) has determined that the greatest source of mercury exposure originates from the dental amalgam, which is comprised of 50 percent mercury. Evidence That Mercury Causes Alzheimer's Disease describes how the dental amalgam is continuously releasing mercury vapor that is inhaled. It then enters the blood stream where it is transported to the brain. Once inside the brain, it can be entrapped for decades. Evidence is also provided that amalgam mercury is affecting the mind at an early age.Anecdotal evidence has found that a number of Alzheimer patients have recovered or improved following amalgam removal. Studies have also shown that amalgam mercury may be an etiological factor in multiple sclerosis, schizophrenia, bipolar disorders, depression, anxiety, cardiovascular problems, Parkinson disease, and many other health disorders. Evidence That Mercury Causes Alzheimer's Disease provides a guide on how to prevent Alzheimer's disease, and what to do if you have mercury dental fillings.
Gathering
"Gathering: Homespun Essays from Beech Tree Lane may well be her paean to the purity of life's comprehensible truths." -- Readers' FavoriteA Southern journalist, Dianne Poston Owens has learned a thing or two about people and community--that people want to know their lives matter, their pets won't rat them out, and that they are not alone. As an observer and recorder of people, places and things, she understands that every day is a new day, and each day is played out in tandem and in gathering. Gathering: Homespun Essays from Beech Tree Lane is a collection of short essays intended to be read for inspiration and encouragement. Owens poses questions and offers photographs that allow readers the opportunity to reflect and pause before forging ahead. Written with charming wit, Southern twang and a deepness that is drawn out by nature, Owens explores what we see, say, and choose, and how we connect to the people we interact within the "communities" in which we gather.
The Bureaucracy of Empathy
The Bureaucracy of Empathy revolves around two central questions: What is pain? And how do we recognize, understand, and ameliorate the pain of nonhuman animals? Shira Shmuely investigates these ethical issues through a close and careful history of the origins, implementation, and enforcement of the 1876 Cruelty to Animals Act of Parliament, which for the first time imposed legal restrictions on animal experimentation and mandated official supervision of procedures "calculated to give pain" to animal subjects.Exploring how scientists, bureaucrats, and lawyers wrestled with the problem of animal pain and its perception, Shmuely traces in depth and detail how the Act was enforced, the medical establishment's initial resistance and then embrace of regulation, and the challenges from anti-vivisection advocates who deemed it insufficient protection against animal suffering. She shows how a "bureaucracy of empathy" emerged to support and administer the legislation, navigating incongruent interpretations of pain. This crucial moment in animal law and ethics continues to inform laws regulating the treatment of nonhuman animals in laboratories, farms, and homes around the worlds to the present.

Effects of the invasion and restoration of Acacia saligna on Invertebrate Diversity in South African Fynbos
Bachelor Thesis from the year 2021 in the subject Biology - Ecology, grade: 1,1, Free University of Berlin (Biologie - Ecological Novelty), language: English, abstract: The invasive plant Acacia saligna (Labill.) Wendl., from here on referred to only as 'Acacia', is widespread in the Cape Floristic Region, a global biodiversity hotspot in South Africa, with stark impacts on diversity. The goal of this study was to obtain a comprehensive estimation of the effect of the invasive alien plant Acacia saligna and its clearing on invertebrate diversity in Cape Flat Sand Fynbos. In three selected areas of the region, invertebrates were collected with pitfall traps and their diversity compared among uninvaded reference sites, cleared sites, and Acacia-invaded sites. Most past studies focus on the plant response to the invasion of Acacia saligna. Conversely, this thesis aims to fill the gaps in knowledge by focusing specifically on the impacts of the Acacia invasion and clearing on invertebrates in Cape Flat Sand Fynbos. To understand the influences on invertebrates this study investigated the variation in invertebrate diversity and composition among Acacia saligna invaded sites, and subsequently cleared sites, in comparison with uninvaded Fynbos sites. My objectives were to: (1) Identify the diversity of the invertebrate orders in the areas selected (2) and to assess how the invertebrate diversity in Fynbos is influenced by the invasion and clearing of the Acacia; (3) Analyze similarities and differences in invertebrate composition among the different sampling sites and status; (4) Analyze if a selection of the orders sampled individually respond differently to the invasion and clearing of Acacia in contrast to the overall invertebrate response; (5) Investigate correlations between the invertebrate diversity and plant diversity response to the invasion of Acacia.

Strategies for proper handling of hazardous and non-hazardous waste in the medicinal cannabis industry in Puerto Rico
Master's Thesis from the year 2022 in the subject Environmental Sciences, grade: 4.00, language: English, abstract: The purpose of this study is to identify what strategies can be implemented to dispose of and mitigate hazardous and non-hazardous waste from cannabis industries in Puerto Rico. Hazardous and non-hazardous waste generated in the industry was evaluated. Ideal management methods for the strategic development of environmental mitigation were designed. In 2017, Puerto Rico passed Medicinal Law 42, which allows the consumption of Cannabis sativa for the purpose of treating certain debilitating conditions, as a natural alternative for Puerto Ricans. Like any industry that involves production processes, a certain amount of waste is generated. An important detail of this growing industry is that it's classified as a Type 1 Drug by the Federal Government, because of that the Environmental Regulatory Agencies do not have any jurisdiction. Law 42 establishes that the handling, storage, and disposal of waste must be managed according to federal and state regulations. However, it does have a degree of ambiguity as to what methods are necessary for waste management.
Thomas Jefferson's 'Notes on the State of Virginia'
Why did Jefferson write 'Notes on the State of Virginia'? There are today two common theses. The first, the Alphabet-Soup Thesis, maintains that the book is more or less a loose collection of notes in answer to the 22 queries given by French diplomat Fran癟ois Barb矇-Marbois. Jefferson's altering the arrangement of his answers to the questions is a matter of allowing for a smoother "narrative" for his answers, but other than that, one ought to be cautious not to read too much into his restructuring. The second, the Deconstructionist Thesis, is that meticulous deconstruction of the text reveals a latent thesis, which Jefferson, consciously or subconsciously, kept from his readers. Both views are problematic. The former cannot explain why Jefferson fell so deeply into the project, rearranged Marbois' questions so that the book would flow smoothly from nature to culture, and continually revise his often-lengthy answers, even after the Stockdale edition in 1787. The latter suffers from the fact that Jefferson tended never to write elliptically. "Thomas Jefferson's 'Notes on the State of Virginia': A Prolegomena" is an attempt to provide an alternative, "dialectical" reading to current interpretations of the book. The book, Holowchak asserts, is neither a simple omnium gatherum nor is its message accessible only through deconstruction. There is an obvious movement from nature (Gr., 'phusis') in the first seven queries to culture (Gr., 'nomos') in the remaining 16 queries, but that "movement" is not linear. Early naturalistic queries set up neatly Jefferson's discussion of the cultural aspects of Virginia, and Jefferson's explication of the cultural aspects of Virginia cannot be grasped without frequent returns to the naturalistic queries, hence its dialectic. Jefferson's aim overall, sums Holowchak, is the appropriation of what nature had given for humans' use-to perfect the social state by taming nature and putting it to use for human betterment.

Twelve Sonnets
Twelve Sonnets: A Defense of Spirit is a prosimetrum, a collection of poems alternating with counterpoint prose that connects the poems and amplifies their content. The subject matter is Nature, Physics, Spirit, Consciousness, and romantic love. The book argues that the idea that spirit does not exist is a self-contradiction, argues that modern Physics proves that the Universe is not a machine, and illustrates spirit in action both in Nature and within our own being.Additional description and excerpts are available at EverushBooks.ExcerptsMy viewpoint was forever changed when I read Owen Barfield's Saving the Appearances: A Study in Idolatry. Barfield points out that science, as a discipline, has a very specific and limited role: to identify those aspects of Nature that can be represented as mechanism... To say nature is a machine and nothing more is akin to molding a golden calf and saying "This is God." It's idolatry.The books! O, shining books I'd write for you: of courtship, wedding, children, nature's peace--taut words creating light without surcease, that every moment soul's deep core renew!Sad form: cross centuries deep you've watched and pinedas logic's triumph warped the Western mind.Today we struggle to experience the spirit that's in Nature because the universe-as-mechanism logic in our minds influences the perceptual images that are formed within us. It's as though our modern scientific thinking is a lens that, like Sylvia Plath's bell jar, distorts our vision of the true Nature that surrounds us, filters away its life.Two stately elders grace our spare expanse;their branchlets, twined, caress and sway, impelledby summer's aether: splendrous pantheon!Just so, our naked souls embrace and dancein light that breathes within: our spirits meld!Spirit's validity has been reborn: Physics has proven life unmeasurable--Newton's machine lies slain. And love's alive!Manipulating macroscopic things, controlling magnets, electricity, induced a smug presumption: that we know.Beneath the data, Nature's secret sings!But, hidden in the quanta, Nature teems, not bound by any human formula, begetting life with smiling reticence.Nature cloaks itself in a kind of mist when we attempt to penetrate its full reality with modern logic's rigid gaze. What's on the other side we cannot know--except to know that it's somehow intimately related to our own being, our own reality.You shun yourself, child, when you castigatethe past--the book of human memory, a font of sight for those who would be taught.Words can be conceived as being little containers of spirit that have evolved across the ages. True speech is spirit revealed. Lies are spirit (and life) destroyed.Our Winter now approaches, precipicewe didn't foresee. Our legacy? A squallthat confiscates our children's wherewithal!Still, as we die, love, let's embrace, and kiss.When midnight comes, our lives and limbs embrace--Harmonious handfasting--our souls enlace!

The Catch
This definitive environmental history of medieval fish and fisheries provides a comprehensive examination of European engagement with aquatic systems between c. 500 and 1500 CE. Using textual, zooarchaeological, and natural records, Richard C. Hoffmann's unique study spans marine and freshwater fisheries across western Christendom, discusses effects of human-nature relations and presents a deeper understanding of evolving European aquatic ecosystems. Changing climates, landscapes, and fishing pressures affected local stocks enough to shift values of fish, fishing rights, and dietary expectations. Readers learn what the abbess Waldetrudis in seventh-century Hainault, King Ramiro II (d.1157) of Aragon, and thirteenth-century physician Aldebrandin of Siena shared with English antiquarian William Worcester (d. 1482), and the young Martin Luther growing up in Germany soon thereafter. Sturgeon and herring, carp, cod, and tuna played distinctive roles. Hoffmann highlights how encounters between medieval Europeans and fish had consequences for society and the environment - then and now.

Sonar to Quartz Clock
Sonar to Quartz Clock examines how the unapplied phenomenon of piezoelectricity became applied for technologies such as sonar, crystal frequency control, the quartz clock, and how its research has consequently changed during WWI and the interwar period. It aims at reconstructing, for the first time, the fascinating history of the inventions and the development of these highly important technologies, which are still in extensive use, and which were crucial for the electronic revolution, arguably the most important technological developments of the twentieth century. On this basis, this book suggests a better and more nuanced understanding of the relationships between modern science and technology and the process of development and innovation of science-based technologies. It examines in particular the mutual transfer and transformation of knowledge between them including the way physics becomes practically applicable, the way applications and societal interests shape technology and science, and the differences and similarities between scientific and technological research. The book presents an in-depth analysis of the scientific and technological research and development in the field, and of the evolution of their experimental, theoretical, and technical aspects within their social military and commercial contexts. It offers an integrative history of science and technology, needed to better comprehend their interactions and evolution but rare in current historiography. This book will appeal to historians of science and technology, sociologists of science and generally scientists and engineers studying or working with piezoelectricity, ultrasound devices, and crystal frequency control.
Wine glasses as multiphonic instruments forced to sound like monophonic instruments
Scientific Study from the year 2023 in the subject Physics - Acoustics, language: English, abstract: The acoustic parameters of various types of "singing wine glasses" have been investigated after a finger-excitation (sliding the finger on the rim of the wine glass) or a hit-excitation (short hit with a metal stick against the bowl of the wine glass). After a hit-excitation, the wine glasses show typical characteristics of a multiphonic sounds, whereas a finger-excitation generates a monophonic sound known from monophonic instruments. It could be confirmed that filling water in the bowl will lower the frequency of the base-tone and the respective harmonics as described previously, but it could also be demonstrated that liquid in the bowl will change the intensity as well as the timbre of the generated sound significantly, which should be considered by musicians using glass harps. Under certain circumstances of a finger-excitation, the resulting sound shows in parallel features of a monophonic sound (base-tone and related harmonics) and features of a multiphonic sound (frequencies with no harmonic relationships plus complex tones). As the "construction" of a wine glass is by far less complex than a wood wind instrument, it might be a good object to investigate the principle mechanism of the production of complex tones within multiphonic sounds generated by "tube-like" instruments as wood winds.
Starfish
The giant triton (Charonia tritonis) is a beautiful shell and a well-known predator of the crown-of-thorns starfish (Acanthaster planci). In many parts of the third world, it is still being collected in large numbers and sold to tourists as ornaments. Many species of starfish are known to have outbreaks in different parts of the world. Prior to human collection, the giant triton might have controlled starfish numbers not by eating the many, but by preventing the aggregation that precedes the outbreak. At present, little is known of any aspect of the triton's ecology despite its obvious importance in controlling starfish numbers. A PDF file of the complete book "Starfish: A warning from the past" can be downloaded from either Trove or the Internet Archive. Both hard and soft cover printed books are available through links at the Charonia Research blog.

The Correspondence of John Tyndall, Volume 12
The twelfth volume of The Correspondence of John Tyndall contains 326 letters and covers the fifteen months of Tyndall's life from March 1871 through May 1872, a time when he was a central figure in the field and had a substantial reputation in both the UK and the United States. It begins just before the publication of Fragments of Science in April and Hours of Exercise in May. It includes a number of small but public disputes about science, most notably the start of a controversy about Kew Gardens involving botanist Joseph Hooker. Tyndall was visited by friends and dignitaries; he traveled to Switzerland, Ireland, and the countryside for scrambles; and he began planning a trip to the United States. He dealt with issues concerning his family in Ireland, which were troublesome for him. He was busy administering the Royal Institution and the Royal Society; he was also working as the scientific consultant to Trinity House, which was involved in overseeing lighthouses in the United Kingdom, of which Ireland was a part at this time. Unlike other volumes, this one is not defined as much by one or two major endeavors or events for Tyndall, but instead includes a number of smaller projects as well as personal and professional issues.

Science After Babel
Polymath and raconteur David Berlinski is at it again, challenging the shibboleths of contemporary science with his inimitable blend of deep learning, close reasoning, and rapier wit. In Science After Babel he reflects on everything from Newton, Einstein, and Gödel to catastrophe theory, information theory, and the morass that is modern Darwinism. The scientific enterprise is unarguably impressive, but it shows no sign of reaching the empyrean heights it seemed to promise a century ago. "It resembles Bruegel's Tower of Babel," Berlinski says, "and if it suggests anything at all, it suggests that its original plans have somehow been lost." Science endures. Scientism, it would seem, is guttering out.
