Abstract:
The researcher's view of the CAPM model is not in accordance with the Islamic economy because there is an Rf element as an instrument that contains an interest element, so a modified model of CAPM based on sharia is introduced, namely SCAPM. This study aims to analyze the differences in the SCAPM method according to Tomkins & Karim (1987) SCAPM non Rf, Ashker (1987) SCAPMZ, Shaikh (2010) SCAPM NGDP, and Hanif (2011) SCAPMI. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling and obtained 19 samples. Data analysis used is the calculation of Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD), Mean Square Error (MSE), and the coefficient of determination. The results of the calculation of Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD) and Mean Square Error (MSE) explain that there are differences from the SCAPM models without risk free rate, SCAPMZ, SCAPM NGDP, and SCAPMI. Meanwhile, SCAPMI has the best explanatory power than the other four SCAPM models. It is recommended that Islamic and conventional investors use SCAPMZ modeling in predicting stock returns.

Abstract:
Purpose In Vietnam, there is a phenomenon that domestic tourists return to some tourist destinations despite their reputation of tourists being scammed. This study aims to focusses on Vung Tau City in Vietnam as a popular seaside destination to explain this interesting phenomenon. Design/methodology/approach Thereby, 22 domestic tourists who are repeated visitors and had experienced scams directly and/or indirectly in Vung Tau were interviewed and later took part in a self-evaluation. Findings The data shows that unreasonable charges, switching products, false reporting and dishonest middle-persons are the major dominant scams in the city. Furthermore, all visitors could be scammed regardless of gender, educational background or age. Even though scams may occur, the city remains to be a popular getaway destination for the Southern part of Vietnam due to its irreplaceable natural resources and visit intention of domestic tourists. The local authority has tried different ways to suppress issues related to tourist scams, however, due to their sociocultural and economic conditions, scams find ways to exist. Under this circumstance, domestic tourists tend to figure out how to handle scams by themselves whilst very few of them rely on the public sector to deal with them. Practical implications Finally, some practical strategies and recommendations are given as a reference for the local authority and businesses for long-term tourist business development. Originality/value This paper, respectively, investigates the common scams against domestic tourists in Vung Tau, reasons they still return to this destination, and finally, how these visitors attempt to avoid scams.

Abstract:
The anthropological record clearly shows that there remains a strong political undercurrent in terms of Theravada Buddhism, spiritualism, animism, supernaturalism, and scams in Thailand. The literature review of this new anthropology provides the main academic works that have been published vis-Ã ˘a-vis the Theravada Buddhism, animism, and supernaturalism. Scams have been added to this academic paper as they are based on the former, and scams in late modernity have emerged and evolved from the new anthropology. It is a new anthropology for the following three main reasons: (1) it adopts a modern approach to understanding such cultural, social, and traditional phenomena; (2) the method involves both normative and quantitative methods used in the social and political sciences; and (3) a more objective and scientific approach is adopted in the new political tropology because of the uneven distribution of power in these cultural and social phenomena. Individuals actually have a choice to avoid being scammed. Yet, millions of people seem to prefer to be duped. People keep losing billions of dollars to scammers. Why is this so? This study seeks to explain this social phenomenon. Think of the word “scam” and what comes to mind is a wide range of scams targeting old people’s life savings; insecure women in Singapore seeking romance and erotic love from Turkish men; poor Turkish men in Singapore living off their Singaporean girlfriends and wives (they usually have one of each simultaneously); financial scams by lawyers and foreigners in Thailand; phishing scams in Malaysia; as well as gambling scams and online scams in Singapore. Millions continue to be lost in scams involving fake government agencies, including Singapore’s Income Tax Agency and Singapore’s CPF Board. While legitimate governments spend billions of dollars on countermeasures to combat these nefarious tricksters, there appears to be little to nothing that is achieved. People are very easily misled. This study focused on multimillion-dollar scammers who prey on individuals who believe in magic, ritual, occult, tradition, religion, and superstition. Ignoramuses, the mentally retarded, and simpletons are often superstitious; they are the most likely to fall for scams. Scams take place in crowded places with a high walk-in, street-level crowd, and the profits range from a few cents to thousands of dollars a second. This study concludes with a clear solution to the problems associated with superstition and scams in Southeast Asia. There is a politics to Asian scams because of the uneven distribution of power among those who believe in superstitions, animism, and religions; it is a paradox that makes many people vulnerable to being scammed.

Abstract:
Abstract The COVID pandemic afforded financial scammers with new opportunities to target older adults. This paper presents data from a telephone survey conducted June–September, 2020 with 380 participants from a larger National Institute of Aging study examining financial exploitation among older adults. The survey assessed COVID-related scams in three areas: (1) products, testing, treatments; (2) financial assistance (e.g., stimulus checks); and (3) charities. Questions focused on scam exposure / attempts, mode of contact, responses, and whether the older adult reported it to someone. The sample (284 Pittsburgh; 96 New York City) was 64% female; mean age = 73.6; and 47% White, 41% African American, 12% Hispanic. Across all scam types, 18.4% reported scam attempts / exposure; 24% of those exposed engaged / responded without getting scammed (11%); or were actually scammed (13%); and 40% told someone about it. The most frequent modes of contact were: telephone (54%), internet / email (40%), or mail (29%). Controlling for socio-demographics, participants from NYC were more likely to be exposed (OR = 1.91; p=.036); as were those reporting more loneliness (8-item UCLA scale; OR = 1.06; p=.042); and those reporting that COVID had worsened their emotional well-being to a greater extent (OR = 1.57; p=.032). Older adults who were more socially isolated / lonely were also more likely to have been scammed and less like to tell anyone about it. Psychosocial factors play an important role in exposure and response to scams during pandemics. Implications for policy, intervention, and general scam susceptibility are discussed.

Abstract:
In an era of widespread mass marketing scams on the Internet, many victims have reported varying degrees of financial loss and psychological damage after encountering lottery scams and advance payment scams. Among them, the emotional damage to victims of online dating scams may be even more severe because the whole scam process involves mental attachment, sexual abuse, and relationship breakdown. There is little help and support for victims throughout the scam process and even after the scam is over, which not only makes it difficult for victims to get timely and professional assistance after experiencing online scams, but victims even run the risk of being scammed by criminals again afterward, so timely help and professional psychological treatment for victims is of positive significance. In previous studies, there are fewer reports summarizing and analyzing the psychological conditions of victims. In this paper, we will summarize the psychological problems of victims of online dating scams and compare the psychological treatment needed by victims of online dating scams who experience online aggression with the psychological treatment needed by victims who are actually violated in reality. For example, professional treatment for real victims of sexual assault has methodological merit for victims of online fraud, methods of privacy and psychological protection for victims of online romance fraud, criteria for measuring psychological status, and more. These are all measures to promote enhanced victim care and the prevention of online dating fraud throughout the industry.

Abstract:
Barley is attacked by many diseases and hence, the study was conducted to quantify and profile barley affecting diseases for management options. The survey was based on the assessment of barley fields at 5 km interval. Results indicated that powdery mildew, leaf rust, stem rust, leaf scald, and smuts were among the important diseases in south Tigray. The prevalence of the former diseases was 60, 60, 40, 47.8, and 40%, respectively. The incidence of powdery mildew, scaled, leaf rust and stem rust was 100% in considerable fields and cultivars. The incidence of smuts was ranged from 5% to 30%. Similarly, the mean severities of powdery mildew, leaf rust, stem rust and leaf scald were 43.4, 54.5, 45 and 20%, respectively, while, smuts caused complete spike losses. Therefore, investigating of the pathogens variability especially for rusts, powdery mildew and scald as well as developing integrated management options for all diseases is of concern.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Synaptic scaffolding molecule (S-SCAM) interacts with a wide variety of molecules at excitatory and inhibitory synapses. It comprises three alternative splicing variants, S-SCAMα, -β, and -γ. We generated mutant mice lacking specifically S-SCAMα. S-SCAMα-deficient mice breathe and feed normally but die within 24 h after birth. Primary cultured hippocampal neurons from mutant mice have abnormally elongated dendritic spines. Exogenously expressed S-SCAMα corrects this abnormal morphology, while S-SCAMβ and -γ have no effect. Active RhoA decreases in cortical neurons from mutant mice. Constitutively active RhoA and ROCKII shift the length of dendritic spines toward the normal level, whereas ROCK inhibitor (Y27632) blocks the effect by S-SCAMα. S-SCAMα fails to correct the abnormal spine morphology under the treatment of N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor inhibitor (AP-5), Ca2+/calmodulin kinase inhibitor (KN-62), or tyrosine kinase inhibitor (PP2). NMDA treatment increases active RhoA in dendrites in wild-type hippocampal neurons, but not in mutant neurons. The ectopic expression of S-SCAMα, but not -β, recovers the NMDA-responsive accumulation of active RhoA in dendrites. Phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 and Akt and calcium influx in response to NMDA are not impaired in mutant neurons. These data indicate that S-SCAMα is a scaffold required to activate RhoA protein in response to NMDA receptor signaling in dendrites.

Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to identify dominant scams against domestic tourists in popular tourism cities in China. There are two questions of concern: what types of scams do domestic tourists experience and are the patterns of scams different between the capital and regional cities? The social situation framework was employed to interpret the outcomes. Design/methodology/approach A content analysis facilitated by Leximancer software was applied to 102 Chinese travel blogs reporting experiences of being scammed in Beijing, Hangzhou, Xi’an, Sanya and Guilin. Clear themes and concepts emerged from the analysis of these travel reviews and differences in scamming patterns between Beijing and regional cities were identified. Findings The most frequently reported scams in the capital Beijing were linked to the chaotic environment at tourist attractions and the misbehaviours of tour agents. By way of contrast scams involving manipulating the weight and quality of products purchased were more common in regional cities. The differences between Beijing and other locations may lie in the greater monitoring of fraudulent practices in the capital. Additionally, the role of shills (confederates of the scammer) was highlighted in many of the scams studied. Originality/value Scams include a slightly less serious but still troublesome set of problems accompanying major crimes and assaults. Rare research specifically focussed on tourist scams despite substantive work discussing crimes against tourists as general. Implications of the present study lie in enriching the literature on scams against tourists. The analysis of scams as a special type of social situation proved to be insightful in directing attention to facets of the interaction thus providing connections to previous work and directions for further study. It is also promising to be developed to inform strategic approaches to creating a safer tourism environment in cities.

Abstract:
At any given moment in time, there are people complying with fraudulent requests (i.e. scams) on the Internet. While the incidence rates are low (between five and ten percent of the population becoming victims on a yearly basis), the financial and emotional consequences can be high. In this Thesis we composed a unified theory of which factors made individuals more likely to comply with scams and what psychological mechanisms are unwittingly employed by con-men to make their (illegitimate marketing) offers more enticing. The strongest overall predictor of scam compliance (i.e. the extent to which an individual is likely to comply with fraudulent requests) was the level of self-control, regardless of the observed stage of a scam. On the basis of previous research, we postulated and have empirically shown that falling for a scam is a 3-stage process (i.e. assessing a scam to be plausible - plausiblity, responding to scammers - responded and, finally, losing utility to them – lost out). Taking this paradigm into account, we analysed the three stages in separate investigations and tested the viability of various psychological factors that play a role in them. We hypothesized that attitudes towards risky choices would play a role in finding an Internet scam plausible and thus started our investigation by transferring one of the classic economic psychological theories (i.e. Prospect Theory) into a virtual setting and demonstrated that risk preferences remain unchanged between concrete and virtual settings. Our investigation showed that attitudes towards risk are similar across virtual and concrete domains, but did not yield a reliable psychometric scale measuring risk preferences. As a corollary, in Chapter 3, we investigated psychological mechanisms that influence risky preferences as applied to all three stages of scam compliance. The empirical investigation in Chapter 3 of the present Thesis focused on social psychological mechanisms of persuasion. A scale of susceptibility to persuasion was developed, validated and then applied to the phenomena of scam compliance in two studies. Four reliable factors contributing to susceptibility to persuasion emerged: influence of authority, social influence, self-control and the need for consistency. The susceptibility to persuasion scale was then used to predict overall lifetime (study 1) and time-limited (study 2) scam compliance across the three stages of scams. Social Influence weakly predicted the plausibility stage in study 1, while strongly predicting the response stage in study 2. The need for consistency strongly predicted response stages in both studies. While compliance with requests from authorities did not predict responses to any of the stages in study 1, it weakly predicted the plausibility of a scam and strongly predicted responding to it in study 2. Weak self-control was a significant predictor of losing funds in study 1 and a strong predictor of responding to scams in study 2. As lack of self-control (as a personality trait) emerged as one of the significant predictors of scam compliance, this led us to infer that there were other personality traits that would contribute to understanding scam compliance. That became the topic of Chapter 4 of the present Thesis. In Chapter 4, we used the five factor model of personality, a brief self-control scale and the UPPS impulsive behaviour scale to measure the impact of personality traits on scam compliance in the response stage. Results showed that extraversion, openness, self-control, premeditation, sensation seeking and (negative) urgency had an influence on the response rates to fraudulent offers. Lack of self-control (as a personality trait) again emerged as a strong predictor of overall scam compliance, which led us to infer that self-control as a cognitive state would also contribute to measuring scam compliance in general and in specific types of fraud. The investigation reported in Chapter 3 showed fraudulent Internet auctions to be an effective scam. As a consequence of these two findings, in Chapter 5, we investigated the impact of self-regulatory fatigue on compliance with fraudulent Internet auctions. In the empirical investigation in Chapter 5 180 respondents in two groups were exposed to a cognitive task designed to be ego-depleting and then to a constructed fraudulent Internet auction. They were asked a series of questions concerned with the likelihood of them purchasing a desired item (i.e. the third stage of a scam) and its appeal to them. We found no evidence that lowered self-control (as a state) had any impact on the appeal of fraudulent offer or the likelihood of purchasing it. We also demonstrated that the perception of risk in the fraudulent Internet auctions is most strongly influenced by the feedback mechanisms and the sellers’ ability to use correct English. In the conclusion to the present Thesis we discussed the implications of our empirical investigations and constructed a fictional fraudulent offer that would be effective according to our research. It should, for example, be based on the advance fee schemes and should be delivered over the Internet to reach the most potential victims. Once we had created an outline of an effective scam, we used that as our starting point to suggest mechanisms that would be effective in resisting it. For example, individuals could employ heuristics in a better way or conduct reality checks; and software toolkits that would help in resisting scams could be developed on the basis of our findings. We also discussed future research directions (obtaining larger samples, focusing on specific types of scams and specific populations; and others) and general implications of our findings.

Abstract:
This report presents the process, analysis, and results of the Dynamically-Scaled Research Testbed, a ⅓ scale airplane of the X-56A MUTT designed and built by Lockheed-Martin. The purpose of this scaled airplane is to provide a research platform to investigate flow-separation and boundary layer transition. The customer requested a modular airplane that can have different wings attached, as well as a detachable tail section for flight stability and pilot training. This necessitates the following modular elements: Fuselage section, detachable empennage, sets of different wings, and swappable landing gear. This team set about analyzing ways to structurally support the wings, flight stability and performance with and without a tail, building molds to manufacture all airframe components, and wing bending testing and oscillatory measurement to ensure our airplane meet project requirements. Project accomplishments and challenges are discussed at the conclusion. All team members contributed in a number of ways due to the variety of engineering related fields encompassed in this project. Manufacturing, structural analysis, and purchasing were my primary areas of specialty.

Abstract:
This thesis investigates the diversity of two silica-scaled protist groups, Paraphysomonadida and Thaumatomonadida by light and electron microscopical observations and sequencing (rDNA) on novel clonal cultures. Despite these groups of protist dominating pelagic, littoral as well as inland freshwater and soil habitats, they are taxonomically poorly understood to the extent that any progress in ecological theory is hampered. Now that environmental DNA sequencing is being carried out faster than we can characterise protists from culture it is important that we understand how molecular and physical diversity match up, especially because so many protists are morphospecies. Nearly one hundred isolates were cultured on which both morphological and molecular data was carried out in parallel to reveal around 50 new species of protist from eight different genera: two heterokont genera, Paraphysomonas and Incisomonas n. gen., and six cercozoan genera, Thaumatomonas, Allas, Reckertia, Thaumatospina n. gen., Cowlomonas n. gen., and Scutellomonas n. gen. These data make major contributions to taxonomy and understanding aspects of protist diversity where previously morphological diversity was heavily biased towards over- generalized morphotypes. This thesis quickly showed that gross lumping of morphospecies was true of Paraphysomonas, for which many of the isolates cultured herein might have been regarded as one species (not more than 20). The many cultured isolates exhibited varied cell and scale morphology, and by sequencing (rDNA), it was possible to see the evolution of scale morphology map on to trees. This marriage of molecular and morphological data made it possible to view distinct groups of species that shared scale detail that might have otherwise been overlooked had either method been used alone. This research has shed significant light on how scale morphology can be used as reliable taxonomic marker for protists, the insights of which can be applied to make taxonomic improvements to other silica-scaled protist groups.

Abstract:
Several previous Cal Poly thesis projects involve synthetic aperture radar (SAR), automatic target recognition (ATR), and tracking. SAR data was either accessed from a publicly available database or generated using complex computer modeling software. The motivation for this dual thesis project is to design and construct a scaled SAR system to support Cal Poly radar projects. Ideally this is a low-cost, high resolution SAR architecture that produces raw range Doppler data for any desired target area. To that end, a scaled SAR system was successfully designed, built, and tested. The current SAR system, however, does not perform azimuthal compression and range cell migration correction. These functionalities can be pursued by future students joining the ongoing radar project. The system built for this thesis is a 1 GHz bandwidth SAR system. The system is comprised of analog/RF front end circuitry, two antennas, a mechanical rail platform, power supplies, an oscilloscope, and control and image processing software. This thesis covers the design and evaluation of the analog/radio frequency (RF) front end circuitry and signal processing software. RF amplifier integrated circuits (ICs) were evaluated for two purposes: increasing transmitted signal strength and improving system signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). A voltage-controlled oscillator’s (VCO) tuning characteristic and bandwidth were measured to verify its ability to support system specifications. A ramp generator circuit was designed, assembled and tested. Multiple ultra wide band (UWB) band pass filters were investigated for received signal image rejection. A low pass filter (LPF) was designed, assembled and tested for noise reduction. The overall system was tested with multiple known target locations. This thesis is a joint project with Ryan Green, MSEE student. To understand the entire project, refer to both thesis documents. The overall project is covered broadly in both papers but each report specializes in selected areas. Ryan Green’s thesis document focuses on the system control software, antenna design, and mechanical rail platform. This thesis document focuses on the RF circuitry, analog circuitry, and image processing. The introductory section introduces radar system concepts and the SAR system layout. The remaining sections describe component designs, component performance and system results.

Abstract:
Abstract The work deals with the experimental study of ferroelectric (FE) performance scaling for nanometer-sized devices. In the emerging and advanced devices, it is desirable to couple FE performance with other functions. This requires integration of nanoscale FEs with other materials, which is especially promising in epitaxial heterostructures. Such heterostructures inevitably possess a large lattice mismatch, the effect of which on FE properties is unknown and is in the focus of the present work. In the study, heteroepitaxial thin and ultrathin films and superlattices of ABO3-type perovskite structure FEs were used, with A = Pb, Ba, Sr, K, and N, and B = Ti, Zr, Nb, and Ta. FE domains and local polarization switching were explored on the nanometer scale using piezoresponse force microscopy. The experiment was modified that allowed achieving images with high contrast and lateral resolution, and also allowed analysis of nanodomains in lateral capacitor configuration. Local properties were related to a macroscopic response. For this, the method of simultaneous on-wafer low-frequency impedance measurements was optimized allowing studies of thin and ultrathin (to 5 nm) films in a broad range of conditions and regimes. Experimental studies have reveled phenomena which cannot be explained in the frame of the existing theories. The observed new effects are important for applications such as multistate memory devices, storage capacitors, and FE tunnel junction devices.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis describes the laboratory modelling of gelifluction processes using the geotechnical centrifuge technique. Thirteen 1/10 scale planar slope models were frozen from the surface downwards on the laboratory floor and thawed, also from the surface downwards, under gravitational acceleration of 10 gravities (approximately 98.1 ms'2). A natural sandy silt soil from Quaternary periglacial slope deposits collected in SW England formed the base test material and slope models at gradients 4, 8, 12 and 16 were constructed using this soil. 10% and 20% by weight increments of glaciolacustrine silt and Kaolinite clay were added to the natural soil and a series of slope models were constructed at gradients of 4, 8, and 12 using these soils. Each slope model was subjected to four cycles of freezing and thawing except for the four slope models that underwent rapid slope failure. During thaw, soil temperatures and pore water pressures were recorded continuously, together with soil thaw settlement and surface displacement. Following each experiment, models were sectioned to observe displacement columns that showed the profiles of soil movement and allowed volumetric displacements to be calculated. It was shown that thaw settlement and slope gradient strongly affected the rate of surface movement and the subsurface profile of movement. Increasing slope gradient generated greater amounts of subsurface and surface movement as a function of increased gravitational shear stress. Thawing ice lenses inclined parallel to the slope gradient provided localised zones of microshearing in response to localised low frictional resistance. Rates of movement increased between the 4 and 8 models, but a greater increase occurred between the 8 and 12 models. A slope failure was initiated within the 16 slope model. Rates of gelifluction were dominantly influenced by increasing silt content impacting upon the distribution of segregated ice and the reduction of frictional shear strength. Increasing silt content generated high positive porewater pressures commonly in excess of hydrostatic and consequently greater amounts of pre-failure strain. A clear behavioural threshold was identified between the 10% and 20% silt soils, with far greater gelifluction in the latter than the former. Increasing clay content had a less pronounced impact upon rates of gelifluction when compared to increasing silt due to cohesion. Rates of movement increased between the 10% and 20% clay in response to lower shear strength. A sawtooth style of pore pressure response caused by water escape events within the 20% clay prevented maximum potential pressures being achieved and possibly impacted upon the overall rate of gelifluction. A successful simulation of both landsliding and slow mass wasting processes was undertaken and future applications for the technique have been outlined.

Abstract:
Gas turbine combustors employing a single lean combustion stage represent the next generation of design for reduced NOXemissions. These lean-burn combustors rely on swirl-stabilised flames resulting in highly non-uniform outflows. Non-uniform conditions adversely affect high-pressure turbine performance. 3D numerical simulations provide a means to understand and optimise engine design, however, the modelling of turbulence means experimental validation is crucial. Turbine test facilities operating at scaled, non-reacting conditions, with simulated combustor flows are an important source of validation data. This thesis presents advances in combustor simulator design, testing and instrumentation relevant to the challenges of modern, highly-integrated turbine testing. The design of a lean-burn combustor simulator, characterised by swirl and non-uniform temperature, is presented. The design was based on measurements and predictions of engine conditions. Unsteady numerical simulations were employed as a predictive design tool. An engine-scale combustor simulator was manufactured and characterised experimentally in a bespoke facility. Surveys of flow structure are presented, focusing on experimental turbine inlet data. These data confirmed that the combustor simulator reproduces the important features of a lean-burn combustor; e.g. swirling mainstream flow and high turbulence intensity. The lean-burn combustor simulator will be the first of its kind to be implemented in a rotating turbine test facility, and will provide important validation data. Measurement techniques were developed alongside the core work. Miniaturised five-hole probe rakes for turbine inlet measurements were developed using additive manufacturing (AM). Building on this work, an open source AM five-hole probe design is presented with experimental validation. The problem of estimating pressure probe bandwidth was also addressed, and a simplified model is presented. These tools have direct applications in turbomachinery research.

Abstract:
Microturbine generators offer an interesting early commercial strategy for implementation of distributed generation. Through a program sponsored by the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD), 207 microturbines of 30 and 60kW output are deployed or in the process of being deployed at 47 sites throughout the SCAQMD. These units are being monitored for general operational characteristics such as hours operated, number of starts, total output. In addition, several of the sites have been outfitted with additional sensors that facilitate the collection of efficiency information. Performance results from two of these sites are presented along with corresponding economic evaluation. The results indicate that actual performance does not reach the manufacturer’s specifications and that the recent increases in natural gas prices have increased the projected payback period for the equipment.

Abstract:
Thermal technologies, such as gasification, pyrolysis, waste-to-energy (WTE), and advanced thermal recycling (second generation WTE with the most advanced air emission control system), can be employed to recover energy from municipal solid waste (MSW), reduce the volume of material to be landfilled, and lessen the potential emission of methane. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas and a major component of landfill gas. All operating WTE facilities in the United States have been subjected to strict environmental regulations since the passage of the Clean Air Act Amendments in 1990. As a result, U.S. WTE facilities now meet or exceed stringent local air quality standards, including those imposed by the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) in Southern California. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recognizes the important role of WTE in the integrated solid waste management and ranks combustion higher than landfilling in its solid waste management hierarchy. In addition to upstream source reduction and recycling, downstream thermal treatment of the residual MSW (conducted in controlled environment) can effectively recover energy and further reduce waste volume. Despite all the advantages and environmental benefits of thermal technologies, its utilization for treating MSW in California still faces many challenges. These include negative public perceptions, economical disadvantages, local marketability of by-products, and disposal options for residuals. This paper discusses the need to include energy recovery in the integrated MSW management in California and the challenges encountered by many local jurisdictions.
