The Baton Rouge Fault (BRF), a growth fault, traverses Baton Rouge Parish, the study area. This fault is a part of the Baton Rouge Fault System (BRFS), located in South Louisiana. There are ten aquifers in the Baton Rouge area, which are the main source of freshwater. Beds dip and thicken toward the south. Aquifers in the Baton Rouge area are disrupted by the BRF. Aquifers contain fresh water in the updip (north of the BRF) and saline water in the downdip (south of the BRF) directions. Saline water has intruded into some of the aquifers north of the BRF as a result of overpumping. It was assumed until 2000 that the BRF is acting as a leaky barrier for the movement of saline water north of the fault. Later, in 2002 two abstracts assert that this fault is acting as a conduit. The main purpose of this work was to analyze this controversy by reviewing previous literature, modeling, and chemical analysis. This work has been done using the USGS model "MOCDENSE", a density-driven 2-D fluid flow. Five different scenarios have been developed. Chemical analysis has been done using available USGS data sources and data collected by Professor Stoessell. Modeling indicates that the fault can act as either a leaky barrier or a conduit for saline water to migrate north of the fault. Chemical analysis also shows a dual role is likely.

Η απόπειρα ν’ ανιχνεύσουμε μέσω των αποσπασμάτων την εξέλιξη των χαρακτηριστικών της Νέας Κωμωδίας συνιστά την ουσιαστική και την εις βάθος μελέτη της. Ιδιαιτέρως χρήσιμη προς αυτή την κατεύθυνση μπορεί ν’ αποδειχτεί και η προσέγγιση των σωζόμενων σπαραγμάτων των ησσόνων ποιητών, η οποία προσθέτει στοιχεία που αφορούν το ευρύτερο πλαίσιο της Νέας Κωμωδίας, συμβάλλει στην παρακολούθηση των εξελικτικών τάσεων και προσφέρει πληρέστερη εικόνα σ’ ένα χώρο όπου κυριαρχεί ο Μένανδρος. Ένας από τους ήσσονες ποιητές, τα διασωθέντα αποσπάσματα του οποίου αποτελούν το αντικείμενο μελέτης της παρούσας εργασίας, είναι ο Βάτων. Ο Βάτων δραστηριοποιείται στην Αθήνα, κατά το πρώτο μισό του 3ου αι. π.Χ. Το γεγονός ότι οι πάπυροι δεν αναφέρουν πληροφορίες γι’ αυτόν, με εξαίρεση τη μαρτυρία του P. Herc. 1018 (βλ. απ. 8 Κ-Α), επιβεβαιώνει το γεγονός ότι το έργο του δεν ξεχώρισε μεταξύ των συγχρόνων του και δεν κατάφερε τελικά να διασωθεί στο σύνολό του. Ωστόσο αποσπάσματά του δεν έλειπαν από Ανθολογίες και συλλογές, όπως το έργο του Αθήναιου και του Στοβαίου. Η έμμεση παράδοση λοιπόν διέσωσε τέσσερις τίτλους κωμωδιών: Αἰτωλός, Ἀνδροφόνος, Εὐεργέται, Συνεξαπατῶν και επτά αποσπάσματα συνολικά. / Fragments of comic poet Baton.

Accumulations of brackish groundwater exist across south Louisiana within the shallow, south-dipping Pleistocene to Upper Miocene Baton Rouge Aquifer System (BRAS). This research investigates the source of brackish groundwater through geochemical analysis of representative groundwater samples by comparing the following geochemical ratios along with other trace elements. Low Bromide (Br)/Chloride (Cl) and Potassium (K) /Cl ratios, high Sodium (Na) /Cl ratios, trace Magnesium (Mg) concentrations, and low Strontium (Sr) 87/Sr86 in brackish waters from the BRAS are inconsistent with in situ saline water from marine formation fluids of similar age. The ratios are consistent with in situ saline-water sources from Lower Miocene or Paleogene formation fluids from dissolved recrystallized halite. Deep formation fluids have interacted with Louann Salt diapirs underlying the BRAS area, dissolving halite, and are shown to have moved up fault planes and entered shallow aquifers to mix with the in situ groundwaters.

Due to the increasing international operations for the Swedish Armed Forces these new types of opponents needs new tools to cope with these commitments. A couple of years ago the Swedish Armed Forces had no non-lethal weapons, but today the Swedish soldier has a number of tools to choose from. The purpose of this paper is for the reader to get a presentation of which non-lethal weapons are used today by the Swedish Armed Forces and a sample of what non-lethal weapons are out on the market today. My main question is which non-lethal weapons do the Swedish Armed Forces’ miss in their non-lethal capabilities set. I have collected information from a wide selections of sources like reports from the Swedish Defence Research Agency, the Swedish Armed Forces’ own regulations and the Internet. The information is then processed and divided into five chapters: The development of non-lethal weapons, description of technologies, non-lethal weapons in the Swedish Armed Forces, Non-lethal weapons on the market and Results. This paper is limited to handheld, portable and man to man non-lethal weapons, all non-lethal weapons in the Swedish Armed Forces or on the international market are not covered. My conclusion is that the Swedish Armed Forces should acquire three 40 mm projectiles, one 12-gauge projectile and one TASER®.
