The entire conference committee made the behind - the- scenes tasks much easier. I would also like to thank another group who made the conference a success: the folks who attended. The combination of the two groups made the experience a very educational and rewarding one. Singling out an individual who has made this past year and the conference a great success, Martha Yancey. I cannot say enough to adequately express what a joy it has been to work with her in the association and particularly on conference planning and execution. Martha is a highly motivated professional, full of boundless energy. I can only hope my tenure as chair is half as successful as Martha’s. Next on the agenda will be the 2007 legislative session. The legislative session will run January 10 to March 10. Many challenges lie before the association in this session including the changing leadership in the House of Delegates, the pend- ing decision concerning local laws and proposed revision of the West Virginia Library Commission’s Administrative Regula- tions. Every voice in the library community needs to be heard concerning these issues. We can be a powerful force if each member becomes active and joins together as one strong voice. Spring Fling is scheduled for April 12-13 at the Days Inn in Flatwoods. As chair of the Public Library Division and Spring Fling, Sarah Cranstoun is looking forward to a strong response to the call for proposals for programming from all divisions and roundtables. A diverse offering of sessions will make for a successful workshop. My plans as chair for the coming year are to work with the very able Executive Board to increase the value of the Associa- tion to all of the library community through a strong legislative presence and continuing education efforts that reinforce the association’s mission and promotes the profession.

    4. Thermodynamics Tore Haug-Warberg, Long-Qing Chen, Ursula Kattner, Bengt Hallstedt, André Costa e Silva, Joonho Lee, Jean-Marc Joubert, Jean-Claude Crivello, Fan Zhang, Bethany Huseby, Olle Blomberg 4.1. Overview Thermodynamic modelling is software that uses thermodynamic calculations to predict the properties and behaviours of materials under various conditions. At its most basic, for example, thermodynamic modelling software provides information such as the melting point of an alloy, but in practice, the software is used to answer much more complicated and time-consuming questions about the behaviour of complex materials. Thermodynamic modelling is currently one of the most mature areas of ICME (Integrated Computational Materials Engineering), and companies that produce software tools for thermodynamic modelling are deeply involved in initiatives in the EU and US to advance the ICME vision, so thermodynamic modelling will likely continue to be an important part of many ICME projects. This chapter gives an overview of the current theory and practice of thermodynamic modelling. Sections 4.2 and 4.3 provide an introduction to some basic thermodynamic concepts and theory. Section 4.4 then gives an overview of the so-called CALPHAD (CALculation of Phase Diagrams) method, which is a thermodynamic modelling approach frequently used when it comes to solving practical material design problems that involve multi-component systems. In this approach, thermodynamic calculations provide the information on phases in stable or metastable equilibrium that are needed for predicting properties of materials under a wide range of temperature, pressure and composition conditions. Section 4.5 focuses on thermodynamic data, data formats and databases.

  • Half the World's Population Are Exposed to Increasing Air Pollution
    www.nature.com/npjclimatsci ARTICLE OPEN Half the world’s population are exposed to increasing air pollution ✉ G. Shaddick 1 , M. L. Thomas2, P. Mudu3, G. Ruggeri3 and S. Gumy3 Air pollution is high on the global agenda and is widely recognised as a threat to both public health and economic progress. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 4.2 million deaths annually can be attributed to outdoor air pollution. Recently, there have been major advances in methods that allow the quantification of air pollution-related indicators to track progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals and that expand the evidence base of the impacts of air pollution on health. Despite efforts to reduce air pollution in many countries there are regions, notably Central and Southern Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa, in which populations continue to be exposed to increasing levels of air pollution. The majority of the world’s population continue to be exposed to levels of air pollution substantially above WHO Air Quality Guidelines and, as such, air pollution constitutes a major, and in many areas, increasing threat to public health. npj Climate and Atmospheric Science (2020) 3:23 ; https://doi.org/10.1038/s41612-020-0124-2 INTRODUCTION coverage of estimated concentrations and obtaining (national- 1234567890():,; In 2016, the WHO estimated that 4.2 million deaths annually could level) distributions of population exposures for health impact be attributed to ambient (outdoor) fine particulate matter air assessment.

  • Regulating Cruise Ship Pollution on the Pacific
    CRUISE CONTROL — REGULATING CRUISE SHIP POLLUTION ON THE PACIFIC COAST OF CANADA LINDA NOWLAN AND INES KWAN, WEST COAST ENVIRONMENTAL LAW EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Every year over one million passengers board a cruise ship to travel north to Alaska, along BC’s famed Inside Passage. Cruise ship travel on the Vancouver to Alaska route grew at a rate of over 5% a year over the past decade. By 2000, there were 336 cruise trips from BC to Alaska carrying 1,053,000 passengers and over 12,000 crewmembers. And each year those passengers and crewmembers generate more waste than a small town the size of Courtenay or Penticton. This report looks at the effectiveness of the regulations controlling cruise ship pollution. It also reviews the standards set in the US and Alaska to deal with the same problem. THE INSIDE PASSAGE Canada’s Inside Passage, renowned for its scenic beauty, is one of Canada’s most majestic and delicate ocean environments. This “inland sea” is home to many rare and endangered species and contains up to 3.5% of all marine invertebrates in the world. Millions of migrating birds find habitat in its estuaries, marshes and bays. The Inside Passage is home to several species of whales as well as thousands of coastal salmon runs. Cruise ship passengers spend hundreds of millions of dollars a year to take in the splendour of the BC and Alaskan coastlines. In turn, these tourism values are dependent upon preserving the natural beauty and abundance of our coastline. SOURCES OF POLLUTION Cruise ships plying the Inside Passage produce and discharge six principal waste streams, all of which have the potential to damage BC’s coastal environment.

  • A Health Impact Comparison Between Child Sexual Abuse and Child Sexual Exploitation
    A Health Impact Comparison Between Child Sexual Abuse and Child Sexual Exploitation By: Selma Melkich A Health Impact Comparison Between Child Sexual Abuse and Child Sexual Exploitation1 Copyright © 2013, International Centre for Missing & Exploited Children. 1 Report current through July 2013. ABOUT US The International Centre for Missing & Exploited Children (ICMEC) is leading a global movement to protect children from sexual abuse, exploitation and abduction. ICMEC’s work brings promise to children and families by: establishing global resources to find missing children and prevent child sexual exploitation; promoting the creation of national operational centers based on a public-private partnership model; building an international network to disseminate images of and information about missing children; providing training to law enforcement, prosecutors, judges, legal professionals, non-governmental organizations, and government officials; advocating and proposing changes in laws, treaties, and systems to protect children worldwide; conducting international expert conferences to build awareness, encourage and increase cooperation and collaboration between and among countries; and leading a global financial coalition to eradicate commercial child pornography from the Internet. The Koons Family Institute on International Law & Policy (The Koons Family Institute) is the in-house research arm of ICMEC. The Koons Family Institute conducts and commissions original research into the status of child sexual exploitation and child protection legislation around the world and collaborates with other partners in the field to identify and measure threats to children and ways ICMEC can advocate change to help make children safer. The Koons Family Institute works to combat child abduction and child sexual exploitation on multiple fronts: by creating replicable legal tools, building international coalitions, bringing together great thinkers and opinion leaders, and creating best practices on training and the use of technology.
