Abstract:
While both the European Community and the United States now have "environmental agencies", the European Environment Agency ( ("EEA") and the Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA ") respectively, these agencies are at different stages of development and have been assigned significantly different tasks. With the recent emphasis on regulatory reform and alternatives/complements to command-and-control legislation, the roles of these agencies will likely change in the future. This article examines the changing role of the EPA and considers whether some of the methods used by the EPA could be developed by the EEA to expand its role in a similar fashion. The article begins with a brief analysis of why the roles of these agencies are changing. It continues with an overview of the EEA and the EPA. The article then looks at methods utilised by the EPA as alternatives and complements to traditional enforcement and considers how some of these methods could be employed by the EEA.

Abstract:
Abstract. The complementary principle is an important methodology for estimating actual evaporation by using routinely observed meteorological variables. This review summaries its 56-year development, focusing on how related studies have shifted from adopting a symmetric linear complementary relationship (CR) to employing generalized nonlinear functions. The original CR denotes that the actual evaporation (E) and “apparent” potential evaporation (Epa) depart from the potential evaporation (Ep0) complementarily when the land surface dries from a completely wet environment with constant available energy. The CR was then extended to an asymmetric linear relationship, and the linear nature was retained through properly formulating Epa and/or Ep0. Recently, the linear CR was generalized to a sigmoid function and a polynomial function. The sigmoid function does not involve the formulations of Epa and Ep0 but uses the Penman (1948) potential evaporation and its radiation component as inputs, whereas the polynomial function inherits Ep0 and Epa as inputs and requires proper formulations for application. The generalized complementary principle has a more rigorous physical base and offers a great potential in advancing evaporation estimation. Future studies may cover several topics, including the boundary conditions in wet environments, the parameterization and application over different regions of the world, and integration with other approaches for further development.

Abstract:
This paper evaluated the quality of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) reports submitted to EPA Punjab, Pakistan during 2005–2013 (2005 is the period when the practice became more common) prepared by different consultants and investigated whether the information provided in the report is adequate for ultimate decision making by using a comprehensive checklist. Data was collected through interviews, EPA library and Punjab public library. The results are presented in graphical form after the detailed review of randomly selected 100 EIA reports submitted to EPA Punjab during the study period. The selected EIA reports were prepared for new development projects, expansion/extension projects, rehabilitation projects and also for funding projects by donor agencies i.e. World Bank and ADB. The study revealed that the reports prepared for international funding agencies contained adequate data whereas the assessment report prepared by the consultants for local development project were lacking in substantial primary data and adequate evidences, showing lack of commitment towards sustainable development and environment protection.

Abstract:
La firma del trattato internazionale più grande mai negoziato dall’Unione Europea avviene il 17 luglio 2018. L’obiettivo dell’Economic Partnership Agreement tra UE e Giappone è quello di creare una zona commerciale aperta che tocca oltre 600 milioni di persone, pari a un terzo dell’intero valore degli scambi commerciali a livello globale. Si tratta di un accordo win on win tra due mondi lontani che si avvicinano attraverso regole e obiettivi chiari e trasparenti. Per capire gli effetti di questo accordo, è necessario approfondire il contesto nel quale viene messo in atto ed è quindi necessario capire anche il punto di vista di Cina e USA che, al contrario delle due parti contraenti dell’EPA in questione, sono in lotta per contendersi la leadership globale. È importante capire anche quelle che sono le differenze tra iniziative come la BRI (Belt and Road Initiative), che rappresenta l’obiettivo di Pechino di unificare i mercati africani ed euroasiatici, e l’EPA. Verrà approfondita anche quella che è la nuova politica commerciale e geopolitica degli Stati Uniti, il principale alleato di UE e Giappone, in totale contrasto con i valori espressi dall’EPA. I negoziati dell’EPA, infatti, seppur inizialmente si concentrano sull'impatto economico, sulle barriere non-tariffarie classiche, come gli standard alimentari e sulla regolamentazione di nuova generazione, si focalizzano poi maggiormente sul progresso graduale di liberalizzazione commerciale sugli incrementi di efficienza e sulla maggiore integrazione normativa. L'impatto più significativo a lungo termine dell’accordo di partenariato tra Unione Europea e Giappone, deriva dall’attuazione di politiche a sostegno di un'ampia gamma di settori oltre al commercio. L’EPA è il perfetto esempio di come portare avanti trattative rispettose, caratterizzate dalla perseveranza e cooperazione tra alleati. È un accordo vantaggioso per tutti. Lo spirito di un accordo commerciale deve portare all’allineamento degli standard di livello inferiore con gli standard più elevati come le norme internazionali, anche se questo non significa semplificare il commercio reciproco, ma rafforza a sua volta gli standard per la comunità internazionale. In questo modo si crea una sorta di manuale commerciale globale, al quale i terzi che desiderano commerciare con l'Europa o il Giappone devono attenersi, dando luogo a una formulazione di comuni regole commerciali globali. L'EPA fornisce una base per la reciprocità che crea condizioni di parità tra Europa e Giappone.

Abstract:

Introduction:

The trade relationship between the European Union (EU) and African coun-tries based on regional groupings, under the framework of Economic Partnership Agree-ment(EPAs) came to play in most countries in January 2008. It replaces the preferential trade treatment granted by the EU under the Lomé convention and Cotonou agreement which allowed African, Carribean and Pacific countries(ACP) greater access to EU markets as a means of leveraging African exports, and encouraging the competitiveness of African economies in the global economy.

Method:

This work explores basically secondary data sources on EU trade with regional blocs in Africa over the course of the last 27 years. Special attention is given to thematic concerns in the area of intra-regional trade, balance of trade as well as market share. Graphically presentations are utilized in certain instances across the work to serve illustra-tive purposes and to highlight trends established.

Conclusion:

The study uncovers compelling evidence suggestive of imbalances in trade be-tween the EU and her trading partners in Africa. It is anticipated that these imbalances could shrink export benefits for the African countries concerned. There is reason to be-lieve that problems associated with implementation of EPA‟s, deriving from the distinct development context of the various countries concerned will hamper their development prospects. As it is at the moment, it is quite obvious that these countries will have to live with the consequences of these agreements and strive to cope with new economic realities that seem clearly difficult to reverse.

Abstract:
Although the beneficial effects of omega-3 fatty acid in reducing the risk of various of human diseases, such as hypertriglyceridemia and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, have been demonstrated in clinical and pre-clinical studies, the mechanism of its action is poorly understood. several studies has been reported that Dietary supplementation with fish oil induces many changes in plasma TG profile. N-3 fatty acid found in fish oil has been reported that reduce plasma TG and VLDL lev- els. Intercellular lipid droplets is the key regulator of plasma fatty acids and lipoproteins level. Here we show that n-3 fatty acid supplementation triggers intercellular lipid droplets degradation independent from known fatty acid mobilization pathways namely lipophagy and lipolysis . ATGL and HSL are consider as two major lipolysis enzymes.SiRNA study of these two lipolysis enzymes did not attenuate lipid droplets degradation. Lipophagy has been reported as a selective mechanism for degradation of lipid droplets during the starvation condition. Knock down of autophagy (macroautophagy) related pro- teins, could not block degradation of intercellular lipids by EPA. Degradation of lipid droplets is lysosomes dependent and requires lysosomal motility machinery. Lysosomes are interacting directly with lipid droplets during the process that is similar to kiss and run pattern. The morphological examination of this process by electron microscopy indicated its re- semblance to microautophagy like structure. Importantly, (over expression) Arl8b which has been shown that play a role in peripheral distribution of lysosomes along with FYCO1, specifically accelerates the effect of EPA on degradation of intercellular lipid droplets independent from its role in engagement of lysosomal plus end distribution. in particular, Arl8b recruited HOPS protein complex in EPA dependent fashion and si- lencing of HOPS complex interfered with normal lysosomal degradation of lipid droplets. Thus, this finding reveals new mechanism for intercellular lipid mobilization and offer an explanation for the therapeutic benefits of omega-3 fatty acids.

Full text
Abstract:
The use of virtualized environments continues to grow for efficient utilization of the available compute resources. Hypervisors virtualize the underlying hardware resources and allow multiple Operating Systems to run simultaneously on the same infrastructure. Since the hypervisor is installed at a higher privilege level than the Operating Systems in the software stack it is vulnerable to rootkits that can modify the environment to gain control, crash the system and even steal sensitive information. Thus, runtime integrity measurement of the hypervisor is essential. The currently proposed solutions achieve the goal by relying either partially or entirely on the features of the hypervisor itself, causing them to lack stealth and leaving themselves vulnerable to attack. We have developed a performance sensitive methodology for identifying rootkits in hypervisors from System Management Mode (SMM) while using the features of SMI Transfer Monitor (STM). STM is a recent technology from Intel and it is a virtual machine manager at the firmware level. Our solution extends a research prototype called EPA-RIMM, developed by Delgado and Karavanic at Portland State University. Our solution extends the state of the art in that it stealthily performs measurements of hypervisor memory and critical data structures using firmware features, keeps performance perturbation to acceptable levels and leverages the security features provided by the STM. We describe our approach and include experimental results using a prototype we have developed for Xen hypervisor on Minnowboard Turbot, an open hardware platform.

Abstract:
Examensarbetet handlar om kommunikation i matematikundervisningen. Idag domineras matematikundervisningen av enskilt arbete i läroboken, där elever sällan får utrymme att samtala och utbyta kunskaper med varandra. Det styrks vidare av granskningar som har genomförts av bland annat Matematikdelegationen (2004) och Skolinspektionen (2009).Syftet med studien är att undersöka matematiklärares tankar kring arbetet med kommunikation i matematikundervisningen. I undersökningen har en kvalitativ forskningsmetod tillämpats där datainsamlingen har skett med hjälp av kvalitativa intervjuer. Totalt har fyra verksamma matematiklärare i årskurs 4-6 intervjuats.Resultatet visar att samtliga respondenter delar samma uppfattning om vad kommunikation i matematikundervisningen innebär, vilket handlar dels om att redogöra och förmedla sina tankar men även att tolka andras. Samtliga lärare beskriver vidare EPA-metoden som ett sätt att bedriva en kommunikativ matematikundervisning. Därutöver menar de intervjuade lärarna att den största möjligheten vid arbetet med kommunikation i matematikundervisningen är att eleverna lär av varandra. Slutligen har det framkommit genom undersökningen att ett tillåtande klassrumsklimat är en god förutsättning för att bedriva en kommunikativ matematikundervisning.

Abstract:
In December 1, 2010 the EPA reduced the allowable sulfur content in diesel fuel to 15 ppm, which is now known as ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD). In order to reach the 15 ppm sulfur maximum, the hydrodesulfurization unit in many refineries had to be upgraded. The group has been tasked with developing an upgrade catalytic hydrodesulfurization unit for a refinery in the Delaware Valley that can treat 35,000 barrels per stream day (BPSD) of liquid feedstock containing 1.9 wt % sulfur. Performance data from the existing catalytic hydrodesulfurization unit was used to predict the performance of the upgraded unit. ChemCAD software was used for the process calculations and the feed was modeled using boiling curve data. The desulfurization reaction kinetics were based on the reduction of dibenzothiophene. The project goals are to achieve a 99% recovery of diesel fuel while reducing the sulfur content below 15 ppm. The liquid feedstock will be run through a packed bed reactor filled with CoMo/Al2O3 catalyst where the sulfur compounds will react with hydrogen gas to form hydrogen sulfide gas. An amine contactor will be used to remove sour gas from the recycle hydrogen stream and a distillation column will produce diesel.

Abstract:
Food insecurity is one of the major challenges that the world faces today. Improving food security is about not only ending hunger but also ensuring easy, affordable access to nutritious, healthy food for all people. The importance of adequate consumption of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is well recognized. EPA and DHA are essential omega-3 fatty acids that must obtained from the diet. Producing sufficient amounts of EPA and DHA to meet the global demand from their conventional sources – fish – is becoming increasingly challenging due to population growth and overfishing. To bridge the supply gap of EPA and DHA via sustainable means, the idea of sourcing these nutrients directly from their natural primary producers – microalgae – has emerged. The overarching aim of this thesis was to develop a scalable bioprocess that used photoautotrophic microalgae to produce EPA. Such a strategy would offer the advantages of not requiring arable land or potable water, thus would avoid competition with existing food production techniques for these resources. Currently, commercial production of microalgal EPA is hindered by the process economics. One of the major hurdles is the difficulties of growing EPA-producing microalgae efficiently at large scales, hence the development of scalable, cost-effective production processes is needed. In this research, three broad avenues were taken: (1) identification of suitable strains, (2) optimization of the process operation and (3) optimization of the bioreactor design. Microorganisms used for industrial applications need to have certain characteristics. A key metric is high product accumulation under realistic settings, others include robust growth and consistent performance in industrial systems as well as tolerance to changes in the growth conditions. Systematic evaluations using these industrial metrics have not been done for screening EPA-producing microalgae. To address this gap, a screening procedure was conducted to quantify the EPA productivity for a range of microalgae in both 300 mL flask and 5 L flat-panel photobioreactor cultures. It was found that results from the flask screening offered poor predictions of performance in photobioreactors, suggesting a need for improved screening tools, such as scale-down simulators, for selecting industrial microalgal species. In the photobioreactor cultures Phaeodactylum tricornutum displayed the highest EPA productivity, which was approximately an order of magnitude higher than those of the other species tested. The results demonstrated the potential of P. tricornutum for large scale production of EPA. To further evaluate the suitability of P. tricornutum for scaled-up production, the effects of two key environmental factors, temperature and salinity, on the EPA production of P. tricornutum were examined in photobioreactors. It was found that P. tricornutum could tolerate relatively wide ranges of temperature (13-27 °C) and salinity (35-50 g L-1); within these ranges its EPA content was approximately constant at 5% of the dry biomass weight. These results illustrate the robustness of P. tricornutum which is an obvious advantage from the perspective of industrial production. A comprehensive nutritional analysis was also performed for the biomass of P. tricornutum. In addition to being a good source of EPA, P. tricornutum biomass was also rich in protein (45% of dry weight), iron and vitamin B12. The nutritional information here could serve as a starting point for the formulation of P. tricornutum into food products. With P. tricornutum being identified as a suitable species, improving the EPA productivity was the next step in the process development. The use of reliable computational models could greatly facilitate the identification of optimal operating strategies, with fewer laborious, time-consuming experiments required. This research demonstrated the development of a model for the EPA production of P. tricornutum, which was the first to predict the biomass and EPA productivities along with the EPA concentrations in the biomass and fatty acid fraction for microalgae. The model was built on a kinetic modelling framework where the system behaviour was simulated using a set of ordinary differential equations, with the integrated effect of light and nitrogen availability being accounted for. This mathematically simple model was able to produce satisfactory predictions for different reactor geometries and scales (5 L flat-panel and 50 L cylindrical reactors), light path lengths (5 cm and 19 cm) as well as operating modes (batch and repeated-batch), with the model-data mismatches being typically less than 20%. Using this model, an optimized repeated-batch strategy was developed. Implementation of this strategy over four repeated cycles led to 50% and 20% increases in the biomass and EPA productivities, respectively. The results demonstrated the usefulness of this model as a tool in the scale-up, design and optimization of microalgal EPA production. Another avenue for improving process productivity is developing better reactor designs. A major challenge in improving the performance of photoautotrophic cultures is delivering light into high-cell-density cultures. Using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) with Lagrangian particle tracking, this work examined means of improving the frequency at which the microalgal cells were transported between the light and dark zones, something that was recognized as a way for improving light delivery but has not been sufficiently evaluated under industrially relevant conditions. Different superficial gas velocities (0.6-6.0 cm s-1), reactor diameters (0.14-0.29 m), internal structure designs (split-cylinder airlift, segmental baffles, disc-and-doughnut baffles) and sparger configurations (asymmetrical and oscillatory spargers) were investigated for their effect on the hydrodynamics in 50 L bubble column photobioreactors. It was found that the frequency increased linearly with the superficial gas velocities but did not vary appreciably with the reactor diameter within the tested range. The frequency could be increased by 160% and 50% by the installation of segmental baffles and disc-and-doughnut baffles, respectively; In comparison, using the alternative sparger configurations had smaller effect (within ±30%) on the frequency. The work also developed a modelling approach that predicted the biomass accumulation of P. tricornutum using the simulation results from Lagrangian particle tracking. To the best of the author’s knowledge, this was the first method that could predict the effect of different reactor designs and operating conditions (e.g. superficial gas velocity on algal biomass growth). The model simulation results, together with the reactor hydrodynamics simulated by CFD, could be used to guide the design of more light-efficient photobioreactors. In summary, this thesis presented research in three directions of the development and optimization of a scalable process for producing EPA using photoautotrophic microalgae. Substantial, novel experimental data about the EPA productivity under industrially relevant conditions was generated for a range of species. For the first time a modelling approach was developed which provided accurate predictions of the biomass, EPA and total fatty acid concentrations. This model was found to work for a range of reactor designs, scales and operating conditions, and the approach developed here could be readily applied to other microalgal processes. Finally, the kinetic model was coupled with the results from CFD simulations to develop a novel modelling tool that can be used for the in-silico design of improved photobioreactor designs. Taken together the results from this work are a substantial step towards addressing the challenges in scaling-up microalgal EPA production. Successful scale-up of microalgae EPA production is key in ensuring people have a sustainable, affordable source of EPA.

Abstract:
A fatoração PMF - Positive Matrix Factorization - é um método de resolução de problemas em que variáveis observadas conjuntamente são modeladas como a combinação linear de fatores potenciais, representada pela multiplicação de duas matrizes. Este método tem sido utilizado principalmente em áreas de estudo em que as variáveis observadas são sempre não negativas, e quando é aplicada uma modelagem fatorial ao problema. Assume-se a premissa de que são resultantes da multiplicação de duas matrizes com entradas não negativas, ou seja, os fatores potenciais, e os poderadores da combinação linear são desconhecidos, e têm valores não negativos. Neste método além da possibilidade de restringir a busca dos valores das matrizes da fatoração a valores não negativos, também é possível incluir a medida de incerteza relacionada a cada observação no processo de obtenção da fatoração como um modo de reduzir o efeito indesejado que valores outliers podem causar no resultado. Neste trabalho é feito um estudo de sensibilidade da fatoração PMF em relação a algumas medidas de incertezas presentes na literatura, utilizando o software EPA PMF 5.0 com ME-2. Para realizar este estudo foi desenvolvida uma metodologia de simulação de base de dados a partir de perfis de fontes emissoras conhecidas incluindo valores outliers, e aplicação sequencial da fatoração PMF com o software ME-2 nas bases de dados simuladas.
The PMF factorization - Positive Matrix Factorization - is a problem solving method in which jointly observed variables are modeled as a linear combination of potential factors, represented by the multiplication of two matrices. This method has been used primarily in study areas in which the observed variables are always non negative, and when it is applied a factor modeling in the problem. It is made the assumption that the variables in study come from the two matrices multiplication both having non negative components, i.e., the potential factors, and the linear combination values are unknown, and all of them have non negative values. In this method, besides the possibility of constraining the search of the matrix factorization values on non negative values, it is also possible to include the uncertainty measure related to each observation on factorization process as a way to reduce the undesired effect which outliers can cause to the outcome. This paper presents a study of the sensitivity of the factorization PMF over some uncertainties measures present in literature, using EMP PMF 5.0 with ME-2 software. To carry out this study was developed a methodology of database simulation from known emitting sources profiles including outliers values, and a sequential application of PMF factorization with ME-2 software in simulated databases.

Abstract:
Os ácidos graxos poli-insaturados da família Ω-3 são classificados como possíveis agentes anti-inflamatórios devido à formação de eicosanóides inflamatórios menos potentes. Cães no período pós-cirúrgico ou com câncer podem desenvolver resposta inflamatória exacerbada, o que pode ser danoso ao organismo. Assim, a intervenção nutricional é parte da terapia para suporte do sistema imune e da modulação da inflamação. O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar a modulação da resposta inflamatória, o status nutricional e a composição corporal de cadelas no período pós- cirúrgico consumindo dieta com alto teor de proteína, gordura, EPA e DHA. Doze animais foram incluídos e divididos em dois grupos experimentais que receberam dietas distintas: grupo A - ração para cão adulto em manutenção sem EPA e DHA; grupo B - ração teste com alto teor de proteínas, gordura e EPA/DHA por meio de enriquecimento da dieta com óleo de peixe. Mensurações séricas de TNF-α, IL-6, IL-10, IGF-1, proteína C reativa (PCR); determinação da composição corporal por deutério; e parâmetros nutricionais laboratoriais foram realizados em intervalos periódicos ao longo de 51 dias. Testes estatísticos paramétricos e não paramétricos foram utilizados para comparar a quantidade de nutrientes ingeridos e efeito da ingestão de óleo de peixe nos parâmetros inflamatórios, nutricionais e na porcentagem de massa muscular (MM) e gordura corporal (GC). Não foram observadas diferenças nas concentrações de citocinas (pgt;0,05) nem de PCR (p= 0,51) entre as dietas. Quando considerado o tipo de dieta independente do tempo de análise, pôde-se constatar que o grupo B teve maior concentração de IGF-1 (p=0,04), MM (p<0,01) e menor GC (p<0,01), no qual os dois últimos parâmetros tiveram correlação positiva com escore de condição corporal e muscular avaliados no exame físico. Conclui-se que o teor de EPA e DHA na concentração avaliada neste estudo não foi suficiente para modular a inflamação, mas apresenta potencial efeito benéfico na manutenção da massa muscular.
Omega 3 polyunsaturated fatty acids family are said to be anti-inflammatory agents due to the formation of less potent inflammatory eicosanoids. Dogs in the post-surgical or with cancer can develop an unwanted inflammatory response, which can be harmful to these. Thus, nutritional intervention is part of the therapy for the support of the immune system and the modulation of inflammation. The objective of this study was to verify the inflammatory response modulation, nutritional status and body composition of bitches in the post-surgical period consuming diet with high protein, fat, EPA and DHA content. Twelve bitches were included and divided into two groups receiving different diets: group A extrused dry feed for adult dogs in maintenance without EPA and DHA; Group B - extrused dry feed with high protein, fat and EPA/DHA levels through dietary enrichment with fish oil. Serum measurements of TNF-α, IL-6, IL-10, IGF-1, C-reactive protein (CRP); determination of body composition by deuterium; and nutritional laboratories parameters were performed at periodic intervals over 51 days. Parametric and non-parametric statistical tests were used to compare the amount of nutrients ingested and the effect of fish oil intake on inflammatory, nutritional parameters and percentage of muscle mass (MM) and body fat (BF). There were no differences in cytokines (p> 0.05) or CRP (p = 0.51) concentrations between diets. When considering the type of diet independent of the time of analysis, it can be seen that group B had a higher concentration of IGF-1 (p = 0.04), MM (p < 0.01) and lower BF (p <0.01), which the last two parameters had a positive correlation with body and muscle condition score assessed on physical examination. It is concluded that the EPA and DHA content of this study can not modulate the inflammation, but has a potential beneficial effect on the maintenance of the body composition.

Abstract:
Abstract EPAs are the penetrations used to minimize leakage and supply instrumentation or power cables path. Hence, sealing performance of EPA is important to contain radioactive materials and minimize their release without any filtration. Leakage behavior of containment under SAC is also required for the evaluation of mitigation strategies, risk analysis, PSA and emergency planning. In addition, electrical continuity for EPA cables is important for the operation of mitigation systems under different conditions, especially the SAC. In this paper, it is focused on the review and study on leakage behavior and electrical continuity for EPA under SAC, which consists of the following key issues: (1) Requirements, criteria and introduction of EPAs. (2) Study on sealing and electrical performance of EPAs, especially the leakage mechanism, potential leak paths and sealing material performance, electrical degradation under different conditions. (3) Preparations and plans for the EPA sealing and electrical performance test, introductions of our expectations and methods. (4) Summary and outlook

Abstract:
Polk County owns and operates two starved air mass burn municipal solid waste combustors serving a five County region in rural Northwest Minnesota. The plant was constructed in 1987 and began burning MSW in 1988. Each unit has a combustion capacity of 40 tons per day producing energy in the form of saturated steam for two customers in the adjacent industrial park. The plant utilizes a two field electrostatic precipitator (ESP) as the air pollution control device for each unit. In 1996, a materials recovery system was constructed in front of the waste combustors to remove problem/objectionable items. This facility is providing many benefits including reduced stack emissions, lower O & M costs for the WTE units, and revenues from the sales of extracted recyclables. Both facilities have operated successfully since startup. EPA emission guidelines for existing small waste combustors were originally promulgated in December 1995. These guidelines set more stringent limits for pollutants currently regulated and added limits for several other pollutants previously unregulated. However, litigation set aside these 1995 emission guidelines for small waste combustors until they were re-established by EPA in December 2000. Pending release of the year 2000 emission guidelines, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency stayed the State rule and issued a Rule variance in 1998 that included new limits for mercury, and dioxins/furans. In order to attain compliance with the new State limit for dioxin/furans, Polk began injecting powdered activated carbon into the flue gas of each unit upstream of the ESP. The emission guidelines are technology based, and EPA concluded that small existing waste combustors could maintain operation of the electrostatic precipitators. Compliance with the guidelines could be attained with an ESP upgrade or added collection field in conjunction with the addition of other pollution control equipment. Was the EPA right? Can this technology comply with the guidelines? This paper will discuss the development of an APC retrofit project for a small waste combustor whose goal was to attain full compliance with the revised air emission guidelines while maintaining operation of the existing electrostatic precipitators.

Abstract:
There is considerable debate on the clinical utility of the long n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) for preventing dysregulation of obesity-driven glucose homeostasis. Herein, we first show that administration of ethyl esters of EPA, but not DHA, to C57BL/6J male mice improves hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia, and glucose tolerance. Mechanistically, we demonstrate that EPA reverses the obesity-driven decrease in the concentration of white adipose tissue and liver 18-hydroxyeicosapentaenoic acid (18-HEPE), the precursor for resolvin E1 (RvE1). A combination of add-back and receptor knockout experiments reveal that RvE1 is specifically driving the improvement in hyperinsulinemia and hyperglycemia through the receptor known as ERV1/ChemR23 by controlling pathways related to hepatic glucose metabolism and inflammation. Next, we show that EPA’s effects are distinct in female mice as EPA administration leads to improvements in body weight, hyperinsulinemia and hyperglycemia but not glucose tolerance. In this case, EPA exerts its effects through a mechanism potentially mediated by 8-HEPE and upregulation of key intestinal microbes. Finally, we present translation data showing that glucose levels in humans with obesity are inversely related to EPA but not DHA in a sex-specific manner. Furthermore, data from our pilot clinical trial demonstrate that an 18-HEPE-enriched marine oil supplement increases RvE1 levels by 3-fold in humans with obesity. Taken together, these results provide clarity to the field by suggesting that EPA but not DHA ethyl esters can prevent glucose dysregulation in a sex-specific manner through distinct mechanisms mediated by downstream hydroxylated metabolites.
