Livcom Awards 2012 Fact Sheet City of Riviera Beach LivCom Awards 2012 Fact Sheet The International Awards for Liveable Communities (LivCom Awards) was launched in 1997. The prestigious LivCom Awards is endorsed by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and coveted by communities around the globe. The LivCom Awards is the world’s only awards competition that focuses on international best practices regarding the management of the local environment. In pursuit of its mission, the LivCom Awards seeks to accomplish multiple objectives, including: To encourage best practices, innovation and leadership. To maintain an international network of cities that share innovative programs with each other. To improve the quality of life of individual citizens through the creation of liveable communities. To recognize innovative projects which demonstrate sustainability and environmental awareness, and have a positive impact on the local community and environment. The LivCom Awards is a non-political organization that embraces all nations and cultures. In fact, more than 50 countries have been represented within the awards. The LivCom Awards is managed by the LivCom Management Company, a United Kingdom Registered Charity. Dates and Location of LivCom Awards 2012 The LivCom Awards 2012 will be held November 22 – 26, 2012. Al Ain City in the United Arab Emirates is the host city for the LivCom Awards 2012. Delegates Tony Brown and Annetta Jenkins will represent the City of Riviera Beach as delegates. Delegate invitations were extended to Lockheed Martin, Business Development Board of Palm Beach County, Viking, Port of Palm Beach and Riviera Beach CRA and Riviera Beach Community Development Corporation (CDC) board members. The event is being held during the week of Thanksgiving which was problematic for most invitees. Awards Competition The LivCom Awards presents awards in several categories. The Riviera Beach Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) submitted entries to compete in two (2) LivCom Award categories, Whole City Award and Bursary Award. Even though there were a record number of entries, the LivCom Awards Judging Panel selected the City of Riviera Beach as a finalist for the Whole City Award and Bursary Award.

  • Producing Lactobacillus Strains Isolated from Mustard Pickles for Potential Probiotic Applications
    RESEARCH ARTICLE International Microbiology 20(2):75-84 (2017) doi:10.2436/20.1501.01.287. ISSN (print): 1139-6709. e-ISSN: 1618-1095 www.im.microbios.org Characterization of high exopolysaccharide- producing Lactobacillus strains isolated from mustard pickles for potential probiotic applications Jing-Yao Huang,1 Cheng-Yen Kao,2 We-Sin Liu,1 Tony J. Fang1,3* 1Department of Food Science and Biotechnology, National Chung Hsing University, Taichung, Taiwan, 2Department of Biotechnology and Laboratory Science in Medicine, School of Biomedical Science and Engineering, National Yang Ming University, Taipei, Taiwan, 3Food Industry Research and Development Institute, Hsinchu, Taiwan Received 27 March 2017 · Accepted 8 May 2017 Summary. The aim of this study was to characterize high exopolysaccharide (EPS)-producing lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolated from mustard pickles in Taiwan for potential probiotic applications. Among 39 collected LAB strains, four most productive EPS-producing strains were selected for further analysis. Comparative analyses of 16S rDNA genes rpoA and pheS sequences demonstrated that these strains were members of Lactobacillus plantarum-group (LPG). NCD 2, NLD 4, SLC 13, and NLD 16 showed survival rates of 95.83% ± 0.49%, 95.07% ± 0.64%, 105.84% ± 0.82%, and 99.65% ± 0.31% under simulated gastrointestinal conditions, respectively. No cytotoxic effects on macrophage RAW 264.7 cells were observed when they were treated with a low dose (1 μg/ml) of stimulants extracted from the tested LAB strains. The production of nitric oxide in RAW 264.7 cells incubated with various LAB stimulants showed a dose-dependent increase. Among the four strains, SLC 13 showed higher inhibitory activity on growth of Enterococcus faecalis (BCRC 12302) and Yersinia enterocolitica (BCRC 10807).

Academic Editor: Yu-Pin Lin Received: 3 October 2014 / Accepted: 8 January 2015 / Published: 16 January 2015 Abstract: This study involved developing a natural disaster risk assessment framework based on the consideration of three phases: a pre-disaster phase, disaster impact phase, and post-disaster recovery phase. The exposure of natural disasters exhibits unique characteristics. The interactions of numerous factors should be considered in risk assessment as well as in monitoring environment to provide natural disaster warnings. In each phase, specific factors indicate the relative status in the area subjected to risk assessment. Three types of natural disaster were assessed, namely debris flows, floods, and droughts. The Chishan basin in Taiwan was used as a case study and the adequacy of the relocation of Xiaolin village was evaluated.

R. Wu (1), M. W. Huang (2), S. S. Ke (3), W. S. Lee (4) (1) Assistant Research Fellow, National Science and Technology Center for Disaster Reduction, Taiwan, [email protected] (2) Associate Research Fellow, National Science and Technology Center for Disaster Reduction, Taiwan, [email protected] (3)Associate Research Fellow, National Science and Technology Center for Disaster Reduction, Taiwan, [email protected] (4)Research Fellow, National Science and Technology Center for Disaster Reduction, Taiwan, [email protected] Abstract Many urban areas in Taiwan are located in the alluvial deposit with high ground water level which is prone to soil liquefaction endangering buildings, transportation and lifeline systems under strong ground shaking. An extensive database of engineering boreholes from the governmental agency and private sectors is established for soil liquefaction analysis. An automatic processing module producing the shake map and soil liquefaction map in a 500m × 500m mesh is developed in this study. The Meinong earthquake (ML=6.6) in 2016 caused 117 death and wide-range soil liquefaction was chosen as a case study to verified the performance of the methodology. Incorporated with the actual distribution of ground motion and the borehole data in corresponding grids is capable of providing a superior evaluation of liquefaction potential comparing to traditional approach subjected to a uniform excitation.
