Maurer Associate Professor, Department of Civil Engineering Santa Clara University Santa Clara, CA 95053 EMaurer@scu.edu Dr. Steven Chiesa Associate Professor, Department of Civil Engineering Santa Clara University Santa Clara, CA 95053 SChiesa@scu.edu Abstract – Water treatment technologies in the developing world typically focus on removing two types of impurities from water sources: suspended solids and microbial pathogens. However, as industrialization and high-input agriculture has expanded into the developing world, chemical impurities such as pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers have found their way into drinking water supplies and have been linked to severe health-related issues. Activated carbon has the capacity to remove these problematic chemicals from water sources. A simple, inexpensive, and effective activated carbon production process using local agricultural waste byproducts was assessed for the community of Bluefields, Nicaragua. Coconut shell charcoal was produced on site, and various chemical activation techniques were investigated...

...For the exclusive use of Q. Zhang, 2015. 9 -9 1 4 -5 0 1 AUGUST 4, 2013 JOHN A. QUELCH DIANE BADAME Montreaux Chocolate USA: Are Americans Ready for Healthy Dark Chocolate? In October 2012, Andrea Torres, director of new product development at Montreaux Chocolate USA, was poring over data from a recent Nielsen BASES II test. Over 15 months had passed since the Consumer Foods Group (CFG) of Apollo Foods had purchased the rights to distribute Montreaux’s European chocolate products in the U.S. as a means of increasing market share, in pursuit of upscale market segments. Torres was now satisfied with the research and methodology that her New Product Development (NPD) team had employed to assess market opportunity in the U.S. to date. A board meeting was scheduled for December 10, at which Torres would be expected to make a solid, comprehensive, and compelling presentation on the status of the acquisition/assimilation of Montreaux and plans for the launch of the new product in the U.S. David Raymond, her division manager, had committed to a set of aggressive sales forecasts that placed even greater significance on the accuracy and adequacy of the research and its application. As a result, Torres was carefully and pragmatically evaluating her options: do further product testing, launch in selected test markets, stage a regional rollout, or launch nationally? Corporate and Company Background Apollo Foods, a Los Angeles, California-based, global consumer packaged-goods...

...RESEARCH TOPIC: THE IMPACT OF WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT POLICIES ON THE PROFITABILITY OF FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS: A STUDY OF SOME SELECTED FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS IN GHANA 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background: Financial institutions exist to perform the main function of collecting excess monies in the system and advancing them in a form of loan. Hence the bulk of the working capital resource is loan advances and cash received from customers. Again, the influx and/or springing up of financial institutions in Ghana of late has created stiff competition. This situation is likely to make most firms relax their policies on working capital especially on loan advances to customers so as to maintain or increase their market share. This could lead to huge unpaid balances which may put the finances of the companies in danger given the fact that the depositors will one day come for their monies. These can have a telling effect on the cash flow position of the firm which indeed raises an issue of profitability and survival. The management of these core assets is vital to their survival. It is for these reasons that the researcher wants to identify the various working capital strategies used by these financial institutions in dealing with such situations and the consequences of such policies on the profitability of these firms. 1.2 Problem Statement: As the main provider of financial needs, the main debacle of financial institutions is not with the several services...

...While more than 70% of our planet is covered in water, only a small percent of this water is usable freshwater. (eScience Lab 2, 2012) Most of our freshwater is frozen in glaciers at the poles, which means that it is not a viable option because melting them would disrupt the delicate balance of that ecosystem. The small percentage of fresh water that is accessible is stored underground in aquifers. These aquifers collect precipitation like rain water and water from melted snowfalls and stores it in ducts and pores, layers beneath the earth’s surface. When you think about the fact that there are over seven billion human being on this earth and countless other species that depend on freshwater to live and how little there actually is that alone is legitimate cause for alarm. In addition a lot of our technological advances, which have enabled us to feed a growing population by using chemicals to grow more crops, can threatened and potentially contaminate our freshwater supply. A good example of this as explained by Turk & Bensel 2011, is the fact that nitrogen and phosphorus are important crop nutrients, and farmers apply large amounts to cropland each year. They can enter water resources through runoff and leaching and affect water quality through eutrophication, which can result in decreased oxygen levels, fish kills, clogged pipelines, and reduced recreational opportunities. Another reason why water quality research is so important is because growing urban water demands...

This proposal aims to test the effect of soft drinks on the human weight. This topic is vital because obesity leads to serious deceases and stops people from participating in the simplest activities, and in terms corrupts the living of a normal lifestyle. The methods we are aiming to use are experiments and interviews. 1.2 Relevance to the Bahrain Business Community. Researches were conducted on the effect of drinking soft drinks on a human’s body, clarify that it would increase the chances of getting overweight. Overweight can lead to serious deceases, such as strokes, cancer and cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, Bahraini businesses would be exposed to the possibility of reduced productivity rate, because of the consumption of soft drinks on their employees. As a result of reduced productivity, a company's profit can possibly be minimized which in terms could...

...Domestic Violence: Factors Impacting Domestic Violence Research Study Critique student Ashford University PSY 325 instructor October 19, 2012 Domestic Violence: Factors Impacting Domestic Violence Research Study Critique A form of behavior that is used to obtain control and power over an individual is known as “Domestic Partner Violence” and somewhere around the world at this very moment, an individual is being abused. The perpetrator uses emotional and physical attacks, intimidation, and fear to gain control over their victim. Often victims will be left with bruises, cuts, and scars. The scars are not always physical, but those scars of mental, emotional, and spiritual, torture that often last a lifetime. Domestic Partner Violence affects individuals in a broad range of different backgrounds such as economic, racial, social, ethnic, and religious groups. Usually the perpetrator is not a stranger, but rather their husband, boyfriend, wife, girlfriend, mother or father. There is no discrimination as to the individuals relationship status, as to if they are married, divorced, separated, dating, or cohabitating, and includes all age groups of heterosexual or homosexual relationships. At the heart of a situation of domestic partner violence is one individual; man, woman, or child who is paying a heavy personal, social, spiritual, economic, and emotional cost. Domestic partner violence happens around the world and in most places is seen to be a form of criminal violence...

...theory is silent or ambiguous, and practitioners are left to their own devices. Conclusions are based on interviews with two groups: (1) well-regarded firms ranked by peer companies as industry leaders and (2) a sample of 11 of the most active financial advisers (investment banks). For context on academic advice, we also cite recommendations from topselling graduate-level textbooks and trade books in corporate finance.1 Findings The Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) is the dominant model for estimating the cost of equity, with over 90% of firms and all the financial advisers employing this model. Moreover firms and advisers seldom mentioned other asset-pricing models. Yet disagreements exist on how to apply the CAPM. The CAPM states that the required return (R) on any asset can be expressed as Equation 1: R = R f + ( Rm - R f ) (1) 1 Survey evidence and much of the discussion is adapted from T. Brotherson, K. Eades, R. Harris, and R. Higgins, “‘Best Practices’ in Estimating the Cost of Capital: An Update,” Journal of Applied Finance 23, no. 1 (2013), which is an update of an earlier article: R. Bruner, K. Eades, R. Harris, and R. Higgins, “‘Best Practices’ in Estimating the Cost of Capital: Survey and Synthesis,” Financial Practice and Education (Spring/Summer 1998).
