Building an Information Management System for Emergency Preparedness and Response to Promote Assurance: A Case Study of the Fulton County Department of Health and WellnessRobinson, Judith A 13 May 2011 (has links)
The Strategic National Stockpile (SNS) is a program that provides medical countermeasures during a public health emergency. A public health emergency can be a natural or man-made disaster, an act of terrorism, or a pandemic. The Cities Readiness Initiative (CRI) was created to help the nation’s largest metropolitan regions develop the ability to provide SNS life-saving medications in the event of a large-scale bioterrorist attack or naturally occurring disease outbreak. To address the risks associated with a public health emergency the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) requires a comprehensive emergency response plan for distributing SNS/CRI materials quickly and efficiently. The Fulton County Department of Health and Wellness (FCDHW) is tasked with responsibility for distributing and dispensing of SNS/CRI medical assets delivered during a public health emergency. FCDHW is also tasked with the development of a comprehensive response plan. Past TAR scores revealed that passing SNS/CRI audits has been a challenge for FCDHW. A case study was conducted to note if the development of an information management system could facilitate successful future SNS/CRI audits.
A needs assessment revealed that an information management system for emergency preparedness and response compliance was needed. Microsoft SharePoint 2007 was used to develop the information management system. SharePoint contains a secure document repository that linked the work products of all relevant internal and external stakeholders and revealed compliance deficiencies early enough to allow for corrective actions. The result was a passing TAR score that was a 59 point increase from the last published score.

Carex establishment on reclaimed oil sands landscapes : a case study at Suncor Energy Inc.Marlowe, Patricia Ann 14 March 2011 (has links)
Reclaimed oil sands landscapes are perceived to be low in plant diversity compared with
naturally occurring plant communities. Approximately 66 Carex species inhabit the oil
sand region. This thesis is unique and represents the first large scale study of Carex
establishment on reclaimed oil sands landscapes. Research compared diversity and habitat
variables between natural ecosystems and reclaimed landscapes, and examined the
colonization mechanism for Carex establishment on reclaimed landscapes (i.e., ingress
from adjacent natural ecosystems or emergence from the soil seed bank). Low positive
associations between the presence of Carex in natural and reclaimed landscapes, and the
presence of species on reclaimed landscapes not accounted for in either the forest or edge
plots, suggests Carex established from the soil seed bank and less so from natural ingress.
Carex share the same seed dispersal mechanisms as many plants, so the implications may
apply to a broader range of plant species.

La ferme du Bas-de-la-Baie, 1673-1759 : contribution zooarchéologique à l'étude des sites rurauxBossé, Éliane 03 1900 (has links)
Ce mémoire présente les résultats d'une recherche zooarchéologique portant sur deux occupations d'un site du début de la colonisation à Baie-Saint-Paul (XVIIe-XVIIIe siècle). L'analyse de leurs assemblages fauniques, totalisant 1175 restes osseux, a démontré le caractère diamétralement opposé des deux occupations. Le site d'habitation des goudronniers a révélé une exploitation des ressources sauvages visant à suppléer un élevage déficient et fournir un revenu d'appoint par le commerce des fourrures. Pour sa part, le site de la ferme établie par le Séminaire de Québec a révélé une alimentation basée sur les produits de l'élevage, mais supplée par la chasse de gibier disponible dans les environs immédiats du site. La différence d'exploitation faunique soulignée par l'étude zooarchéologique du site de la ferme du Bas-de-la-Baie a également permis de confirmer le rôle central de l'élevage pour les sites ruraux de la vallée laurentienne tout en soulignant leur variabilité, visible au sein de l'élevage et dans l'apport supplémentaire fourni par la chasse et la pêche. / This Master's thesis presents the results of a zooarchaeological study based on two occupations of a single site dating to the beginning of the colonization of Baie-Saint-Paul (17th-18th centuries). An analysis of the faunal assemblage, a total of 1175 animal bones, has shown the opposite characters of the occupations. The "tar makers'" habitation site reveals the exploitation of wild ressources to make up for deficient animal rearing, as well as the skinning of wild game to provide a supplementary income through the fur trade. The farm established by the Séminaire de Québec reveals an alimentation based on farm produce, augmented by the hunting of wild species from the immediate environment. The zooarchaeological study of the Bas-de-la-Baie farm site also confirms the central role of breeding for rural sites in the St. Lawrence Valley, while underlining their diversity, in which farming, hunting and fishin played complementary roles.

Evaluation of thermal desorption as an alternative technique for the measurement of coal tar pitch volatiles / Cornelius Johannes van der MerweVan der Merwe, Cornelius Johannes January 2011 (has links)
Motivation: The accurate and reliable measurement of the concentration of coal tar pitch
volatiles (CTPVs) in ambient air has proved to be a challenge for occupational hygienists. The
challenge must however be confronted due to, amongst others, the carcinogenic properties of
some poly–aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) contained in CTPVs.
Aim: To determine the feasibility of a thermal desorption (TD) technique based method as an
alternative method to be used for the measurement of the concentration of CTPVs in ambient
air by assessing it along criteria such as ease of use, cost, accuracy and precision by
comparing it to NIOSH’s Method 5515 and OSHA’s Method 58 and to determine the level of
exposure to CTPVs on the anode paste floor of an electric furnace, used for the smelting of
platinum group metals (PGMs) concentrate.
Methodology: To satisfy the research objective, two accepted methods the National Institute
of Occupational Safety and Health’s (NIOSH) method 5515 and the Occupational Safety and
Health Administration’s (OSHA) method 58 were used for the measurement of the
concentration of CTPVs with a TD technique based method used as a third, alternative method.
All three methods were used concurrently to measure the concentration of CTPVs in ambient
air, at the anode paste floor of a platinum group metals (PGMs) concentrate smelter.
Results and conclusions: The NIOSH method proved to be the most precise method while the
TD technique based method proved to be the most accurate. The TD technique based method
proved to measure the widest range of individual CTPVs and were able to measure the highest
concentration of Benzo(a)pyrene, an individual CTPV that is classified as a Group 1
(carcinogenic to humans) chemical substance by the International Agency for Research on
Cancer (IARC). The OSHA method measured on average almost four times less total CTPVs
than either the NIOSH or the TD technique based method and failed to readily measure
individual CTPVs with a molecular weight lower than that of Phenanthrene. / Thesis (M.Sc. (Occupational Hygiene))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2012.

Tese Final Sydia Rosana Oliveira. 2014.pdf: 2379286 bytes, checksum: 3dd23c2bacf00a5fd8d62a0c3c04e8fd (MD5) / Esta tese tem como objetivo analisar a sustentabilidade da Estratégia Saúde da Família (ESF) em um município baiano, descrevendo a trajetória desta Intervenção, e
identificando os fatores estratégicos que promoveram a sua sustentabilidade. Sustentabilidade refere-se à continuidade de uma Intervenção ao longo do tempo, fase
do seu ciclo de vida pouco estudada no contexto nacional. Para esta análise, utilizou-se o referencial da Teoria do Ator-Rede (TAR), abordagem que trata objetos como parte de redes sociais heterogêneas, gerados pelas interações entre os entes da rede. Dados de análise documental e de entrevistas semiestruturadas com informantes-chave foram utilizados para construção de linha do tempo dos eventos que constituíam a trajetória da Intervenção. A unidade de análise foi o evento crítico, que compreende momentos de desestabilização na trajetória da Estratégia. Os resultados apontam seis eventos críticos, e um conjunto de fatores estratégicos que permitiram a reconfiguração da Intervenção e marcaram a sua manutenção ao longo do tempo. A análise evidenciou que estes fatores estratégicos identificados guardam correspondência com os já apresentados na literatura internacional e que a sustentabilidade de intervenções de Atenção Primária, em especial, da ESF é marcada pela influência destes fatores.

Caracterização e pirólise de arenitos asfálticos oriundos da Formação Pirambóia, Bacia do Paraná: avaliação da viabilidade para produção de óleo / Characterization and pyrolysis of asphaltic sandstones (tar sands) from Piramboia Formation, Paraná Basin: assessment of the feasibility for oil productionIris Medeiros Júnior 11 March 2015 (has links)
Neste trabalho, algumas caracterizações químicas foram realizadas em arenitos asfálticos da região de Piracicaba-SP, Formação Piramboia da Bacia do Paraná, para verificar seu potencial de produção de óleo. Para isso, as amostras obtidas da região foram submetidas a avaliação por termogravimetria, teor de umidade, teor de cinzas, teor de material orgânico por extração, pirólise, análise elementar e fracionamento em coluna. Por TGA observou-se que a 500 C praticamente todo material orgânico presente sofreu pirólise. A extração colaborou para se obter a classificação das amostras quanto ao teor de material orgânico, apresentando entre 4 e 13%, sendo que pelos teores encontrados a amostra AM06 é considerada de alto potencial produtivo, as amostras AM05, AM08 e AM09 são de médio, as amostras AM01, AM02, AM03 e AM07 possuem baixo, mas ainda atrativo, e a AM04 não possui atratividade. Pela avaliação elementar, a relação H/C e O/C dos extratos evidenciaram que algumas amostras estão no processo final da diagênese e outras no início da catagênese, indicando que elas estão no processo inicial de maturação. A avaliação cromatográfica dos extratos revelou que houve perdas de óleo por intemperismo restando majoritariamente compostos de alto peso molecular. O fracionamento permitiu verificar que as amostras AM01, AM06 e AM09 possuem maior quantidade de hidrocarbonetos livres e as amostras AM06 e AM07 e AM09 apresentaram maior teor de óleo. O procedimento de pirólise evidenciou que as amostras AM01, AM05, AM06 e AM09 apresentam maior potencial de geração de óleo, sendo que a faixa encontrada de óleo pirolítico ficou entre 2 e 8%, e através de avaliação por CGAR e CGAR-EM observou-se que ela promove a liberação de quantidades consideráveis de substâncias mais leves do que quando comparados aos extratos obtidos diretamente nas amostras originais. Além de produzir uma série homóloga de hidrocarbonetos parafínicos e olefínicos. A comparação dos produtos de pirólise dos arenitos com os produtos de pirólise de um resíduo de vácuo por CGAR-EM permitiu observar que existe similaridade entre suas composições, onde o processo de pirólise do resíduo de vácuo gera uma série homóloga de hidrocarbonetos entre C10 a C32, similar aos produtos de pirólise da amostra AM09, porém com menor variedade de tipos de hidrocarbonetos. A pré-avaliação da co-pirólise dos arenitos com resíduos plásticos indicou que é possível aumentar a geração de líquidos, porém é necessário mais estudo para afirmações inequívocas. Com base nos resultados das avaliações realizadas podemos concluir que a região apresenta na sua maioria potencial interessante para produção de óleo utilizando pirólise / In this work, some chemical characterizations were held on tar sands in the region of Piracicaba-SP, the South American Piramboia Formation from Paraná basin, to check its oil production potential. For this purpose, samples obtained in the region have undergone through evaluation by thermogravimetry, moisture content, ash content, content of organic material using extraction, pyrolysis process, elemental analysis and fractionation on open chromatography column. By TGA was noted that 500 C almost all-organic material present suffered pyrolysis. Extraction procedure collaborated to achieve the classification of samples regarding the content of organic material, from 4 to 13%, and by levels found at the sample AM06 is considered of high productive potential, the samples AM05, AM08 and AM09 have medium potential, the samples AM01, AM02, AM03 and AM07 have low potential, but still attractive, and the AM04 does not have any potential. By evaluating the atomic relationship between H/C and O/C of the extracts was possible to build up the Van Krevelen diagram and see that some samples are in the final process of diagenesis and other early catagenesis, indicating that they are in the early maturation process. Chromatographic evaluation of the extracts revealed that there were losses of oil by weathering process because it remains mostly high molecular weight compounds on the rocks. The fractionation has shown that samples AM01, AM06 and AM09 have higher free hydrocarbon amount and samples AM06, AM07 and AM09 presented a higher level of oil content. The pyrolysis procedure showed that the samples AM01, AM05, AM06 and AM09 presented greater oil generation potential, pyrolytic oil released from 2 to 8%, and through their evaluation by HRGC and HRGC-MS it was observed that it promotes the release of significant quantities of substances that are lighter than related to the extracts obtained directly in the original samples. In addition, it also promotes a production of homologous series of paraffinic and olefinic hydrocarbons. Comparison of pyrolysis products of sandstones with pyrolysis products of vacuum residue by HRGC-MS allowed to observe that there is similarity between their compositions, which pyrolysis process of vacuum residue generates a homologous series of hydrocarbons between C10 the C32, similar to AM09s pyrolysis products, however with minor variety of types of hydrocarbons. The pre-evaluation of co-pyrolysis of sandstones with plastic waste has indicated that it is possible to increase the liquid generation, but more study is needed for clear statements. Based on the results of the evaluations it can be concluded that the region has an interesting potential for producing oil using pyrolysis process

Previous issue date: 2013 / Resumo: O desafio da tecnologia de reforma de gás de gaseificação é realizar a conversão de alcatrão e particulados em um gás, pois estes contaminantes podem trazer diversos problemas ao sistema de gaseificação como entupimento de filtros e corrosão. Dentre os equipamentos e métodos para a reforma do gás de gaseificação, encontra-se o plasma. Neste trabalho foi projetado, construído e ensaiado um sistema de reforma de gás de gaseificação proveniente de um reator de gaseificação utilizando a tocha de plasma. O sistema de reforma a plasma é constituído pela tocha de plasma inserida na garganta de um tubo convergente-divergente instalado na tubulação de saída do reator de gaseificação. A fonte de alimentação da tocha de plasma é o modelo Powermax1250 e a tocha é o modelo T80M, ambos da marca Hypertherm. A tocha de plasma utiliza nitrogênio como gás de trabalho, opera com pressão de 4; 0 bar no modo arco elétrico com corrente contínua, plasma térmico, não-transferido e alcança temperaturas superiores a 1673 K em distâncias menores que 30 mm. Na gaseificação foi utilizada a serragem de Peroba e Garapeira, fator de ar de 0; 22, velocidade de fluidização de 0,57 m.s-1 e utilizou-se 550 mm de altura do leito fixo de areia quartzosa. A coleta de alcatrão e particulado foi adaptada da norma CEN/BT/TF 143 ("Biomass gasification - Tar and particules in product gases - sampling and analysis"). Nas condições estudadas e analisadas deste trabalho, o valor obtido para a vazão mássica de alcatrão e material particulado foi de (5; 26+0; 58)10-3 g.s-1 para a gaseificação convencional enquanto que para a gaseificação utilizando a tecnologia da reforma de plasma foi de (3; 97+0; 14)10-3 g.s-1, que representou uma redução de 24; 52 % / Abstract: The technologic challenge on reformation of gasification gas is to convert tar and particulate matter into gas, because they can cause various problems on gasification system as corrosion and filters clogging. Among the equipment and methods for gasification gas reformation, it is used the plasma. In this work was designed, built and tested a system for gasification gas reformation from a gasification reactor using a plasma torch. The plasma system is formed by plasma torch inserted in the throat of a convergent-divergent tube installed in the outlet pipe of the gasification reactor. The power supply of the plasma torch is Powermax1250 and the model T80M plasma torch, both from Hypertherm brand. The plasma torch uses nitrogen as working gas, operates at a pressure of 4; 0 bar with arc current mode, thermal plasma, non-transferred and reaches temperatures above 1673 K in distances of less than 30 mm. In the gasification was used Peroba and Garapeira sawdust, air factor 0:22, fluidization velocity 0,57 m.s-1and 550 mm height fixed bed of quartz sand. The tar and particulate collection was adapted from CEN/BT/TF 143 (Biomass gasification - tar and particules in product gases - sampling and analysis). Under the conditions studied and analyzed in this work, the value obtained for the mass flow of tar and particulate material was (5; 26+0; 58)10-3 g.s-1 for conventional gasification while for using the reformation of gasification gas was de (3; 97+0; 14)10-3 g.s-1, which represented a reduction of 24:52 % / Mestrado / Termica e Fluidos / Mestre em Engenharia Mecânica
