Urban Shift
It may not have been by divine inspiration, but the most time consuming, costly development rules that bedeviled developers and promoted sprawl over urban areas are no more — overwhelmingly.
by: Jay Brady Government Editor
And at the 11th hour on the last day they streamlined growth management.
After an unusual amount of back and forth even for the Legislature, the House went along with one final amendment by the Senate, gave up on a couple of its own, and passed "The Community Renewal Act."
By amending the state growth management laws, the bill eliminates a major development hurdle in already dense urban areas, known as traffic concurrency, which requires developers to ensure the entire area around their development can handle increased traffic.
The new law also removes the cumbersome and expensive development of regional impact (DRI) process from those urban areas and extends most existing state and local permits for two years. The permit extension is a significant savings for all builders and developers holding permits that they'd rather delay acting on until the market rebounds.
The bill's approval was the final action taken late May 1, the last day of the two-month regular session. Only the budget and the joint conference committee bills were to be taken up during the extended week of the two-month session.
The Senate sponsor of SB 360, Sen. Mike Bennett, R-Bradenton, puts the importance of the legislation in perspective this way: "It's the biggest and best growth management bill we've seen in years."
The legislation was a response to state planning laws that some experts claim are some of the most complex and burdensome in the country. And some economists point to the state's and local governments' development regulations, particularly in Florida and California, as the underlying cause of the real estate meltdown that led to the recession.
Jay Clarkson, President of the Florida Home Builders Association, calls the bill "a commonsense approach to creating incentives that promote responsible development in urban areas, thereby reducing sprawl."
The House approved the final bill on a 78-37 vote. The Senate approved the bill 30-7 making it virtually veto proof.
Streamlining bloat
As the recession was getting under way in February 2008, problems that business groups attributed to the state planning act caught the attention of the state's top planner, Department of Community Affairs Secretary Tom Pelham.
At a planners' conference that month, he called the state growth management laws "a huge, bloated piece of legislation." And while it may be just about as huge as ever, it is clearly a little less bloated.
Adding to the drive to streamline the regulations is the faltering economy. As noted by Sen. Don Gaetz, R-Fort Walton Beach, for every 10% increase in the cost of business, 160,000 jobs are lost. That was Gaetz's argument in Senate floor debate on the workers' compensation bill repeating the testimony of a group of economists before the Senate Select Committee on Florida's Economy, which Gaetz chaired.
There's little doubt that the myriad of growth management laws, rules, plans, codes and regulations has a steep cost for businesses and workers. A major Gulf Coast developer's representative calls the current laws "obsolete."
The concerted effort in the Legislature to streamline the state's burdensome development rules led to the tug-of-war of back and forth amendments between the House and Senate.
Four versions of the bill produced no less than 33 amendments offered in the committee process, and another 31 amendments were brought on the fly as the bill hit the House and Senate floors over the last week of the session. Three other growth management bills further complicated the debate.
In Florida, at least, the major issue revolves around a sprawl-inducing planning concept known as "concurrency." The idea is that before development may be permitted, the developer must show that facilities, such as roads, sewers and school seats, will be in place at about the same time as a project is completed.
Pelham repeatedly acknowledges that the concurrency laws have encouraged sprawl rather than a more compact form of urban development that law drafters had originally envisioned. The reason: more suburban and rural areas have more available road capacity.
And where there's more capacity available there's usually a faster path to final project approval. So, it typically makes more economic sense to build closer to where facility capacity is already in place and thus away from the urban core, Thus, sprawl.
So ironically, the concurrency rules have clashed head on with the state's own urban policy as expressed in the very first sentence of the state's "Growth Policy Act," which reads, "Fiscally strong urban centers are beneficial to regional and state economies and resources, are a method for reduction of future urban sprawl, and should be promoted by state, regional and local governments."
Exceptions no longer exceptions
In 2005, the legislature adopted major amendments to the state's growth management laws when, in a quirky pair of coincidences, the bill had the same number, SB 360, and was also the last bill acted on that year.
This year, at the urging of Bennett near the end of Senate debate on May 1, the Senate agreed to meld affordable housing legislation into the Senate bill and sent it back to the House for final approval. Rep. Gary Aubuchon, R-Cape Coral, sponsored the affordable housing bill.
The key provision of 2009's growth management bill is designed to address the concurrency problem by designating, and making mandatory, so-called transportation concurrency exception areas (TCEA) in dense urban areas. Since 1995, these areas have been optional strategies for local governments to encourage urban infill and redevelopment, but have produced only 31 of them including in eight communities along the Gulf Coast.
The new concurrency exception areas will include cities that have an average population of at least 1,000 people per square mile and at least 5,000 people total. Cities like St. Petersburg, Tampa, Sarasota and Fort Myers are on the preliminary list as would be expected, but so too are smaller cities like Punta Gorda and beach towns Madeira Beach, Longboat Key and Marco Island.
The exception areas also include designated urban service areas in counties that, with their cities, have an average population of at least 1,000 people per square mile, and counties that have a population of at least 900,000, but do not have a designated urban service area. That qualifies Hillsborough and Pinellas counties, respectively. Counties with a population of at least one million, such as Hillsborough and Orange, are also defined as dense urban areas.
A preliminary list provided to the Gulf Coast Business Review by the Senate Community Affairs Committee office shows 237 cities and eight counties that meet the bill's definition of dense urban areas, including 32 cities along the Gulf Coast. There are 477 cities and counties in Florida.
More local governments may also be granted exceptions from transportation concurrency requirements for projects that promote public transportation or have designated areas for infill development, redevelopment, or downtown revitalization.
Consumers helped too
Developments up and down the Gulf Coast should benefit considerably if not immediately.
Sarasota Memorial Hospital may likely benefit down the road with future plans for expansion, according to attorney Dan Bailey of the Williams, Parker, Harrison, Dietz and Getzen law firm in Sarasota.
And he says that the stalled Bayside development on U.S. 41 in downtown Sarasota may be able to reconfigure its development in a way that could make it more marketable without having to design their project to meet DRI square footage or condo unit thresholds.
Dave Goodwin, economic development director for the City of St. Petersburg says electronics component manufacturer Jabil Circuit, which has been in the process of reviving its DRI petition that expired Jan. 1, now won't have to re-file because the two-year permit extension applies retroactively to Sept. 1, 2008. A new Tampa Bay Rays stadium could also benefit in avoiding DRI review.
Goodwin agrees with Bailey when he says the law "will definitely create flexibility for developers. There are different options you can use," he says, adding, "A developer can rescind a development order or continue to use it."
Developer Henry Rodriguez, who doesn't have any current projects that directly benefit from the legislation, still calls it "a great bill" and says, "It goes in the right direction to streamline development."
Rodriguez, developer of Villages on the Trail, north of Venice, understands the agony many developers like him have gone through to get projects through multiple layers of bureaucracy. He says, "It's something that needed to be done because it often took three to five years to get things done and the cost of goods ultimately gets passed down to the consumer."
And that may be key to the primary purpose of the bill, to stimulate economic development that in turn puts people back to work and more money in the pockets of consumers.
The hope is that the new law should spur demand for the existing housing stock and increase property values. Another benefit is summed up by Goodwin: "The state role is being lessened no question about it." All that should make local governments happy along with developers.
Keys to new growth law
The Legislature finds that the existing transportation concurrency system has not adequately addressed the transportation needs of this state in an effective, predictable, and equitable manner and is not producing a sustainable transportation system for the state. The Legislature finds that the current system is complex, inequitable, lacks uniformity among jurisdictions, is too focused on roadways to the detriment of desired land use patterns and transportation alternatives, and frequently prevents the attainment of important growth management goals. (SB 360)
Key bill provisions:
• Designates transportation concurrency exception areas in dense urban areas;
• Streamlines state review of local comprehensive plans;
• Allows zoning changes to be considered along with plan amendments;
• Extends state and local permits and development orders for two years with exceptions;
• Exempts developments from the Development of Regional Impact review process in dense urban areas with exceptions;
• Allows waiver of state certified job creation projects;
• Extends time to comply with school concurrency and capital improvement element financial feasibility requirements by three years to December 2011;
• Allows charter schools and certain portables to meet school concurrency requirements;
• Removes the 90 days notice requirement for local governments to decrease, suspend or eliminate an impact fee;
• Clarifies the non-taxable revenue bond allocation process by removing an exception to the Florida Housing Finance Corporation for the use of the state allocation pool;
• Expands the ad valorem tax exemption for affordable housing properties.

how firms may react (demand shifts right)??
I'd advise checking pages 71-72 (or so) of the main textbook.
Demand and supply can both shift to the left and right -depending on the circumstances.
What diagrams would you draw for Public/Private Sector?
Externalities Diagram i.e. if education was just provided by the private sector, they would ignore the positive externalities as they are focussed on profit and so Education would be under-consumed and under-produced.
Ahh ok, so shifting D right for +VE and shifting shifting S left for -VE.
Man can someone help me. I am confident with this exam but I am having anxiety attacks just thinking about it, even now the palms of my hands are getting hot and sweaty. Lol.. no idea what to do. I know that I can get an A and I have the potential and knowledge but damn am I scared.
If anyone needs any last minute revision notes, private message me your email and I can send mine over. They got me 100% on the mock (though of course you need to be able to apply them) and are compiled from my notes, textbook, revision guide and various online resources.
I can also send my macro notes too if people want them.
Otherwise good luck for tomorrow everyone!
Ok so I've just come onto this thread for a look at what people were predicting for the essay and find that people are suggesting it would be a Public vs. Private sector comparison. This has totally thrown me off as for some reason my teacher never ever showed us that essay question from Jan 2010 and we've never gone through the pros and cons of public and private in class. We only ever focussed on market failures being solved by government interventions?!
calm down bruh you'l smash this exam into a million pieces.
If the government sets a supply of too little permits then firms could struggle to meet these boundaries without raising price so high that the firm could potentially go out of business with a lack of demand for their goods set at this high price. This leads to a government failure.
Yep that is completely true and so it would likely lead to unemployment and a loss of tax revenue as well as they will no longer receive tax from those firms that have shut down or the workers who have lost their jobs as they will no longer be receiving any income.
Can demand shift to the right following regulation e.g requiring firms to provide more info about a product that generates positive externalities?
Showing the demand shift is not gona solve the market failure regarding tradeable permits? We need to show supply shift right..
The diagram I was referring to is the tradable permits one.
The one you refer to is the market diagram. In this diagram, the supply curve should shift to the LEFT (be careful here). The new equilibrium is the socially optimum level.
What would we show on a normal supply and demand diagram?
If a subsidy is payed to consumers (e.g a university grant or winter fuel allowance) does it increase demand or supply?
I don't know sorry... only ever done an Externalities diagram for this.

Talks open on change and share plan at Telecom
A joint management/trade union Joint Strategic Consultative Group (JSCG) has
been established to tackle the job of negotiating an agreement to help to
transform state-owned Telecom Eireann to meet current and future competitive
challenges. The key issues which the JSCG expects to address before the end
of April 1997 are a five-year, IEP 110 million cost reduction plan, change
and flexibility proposals and the question of an Employee Share Ownership
Plan (ESOP), first proposed by the trade unions.
Commission publishes amended proposal on transfer of undertakings
The European Commission has published its amended proposal for a Council
Directive amending Directive 77/187/EEC on the safeguarding of employees'
rights in the event of transfers of undertakings. The amended proposal
reflects the Opinions submitted by the Economic and Social Committee and the
Committee of the Regions, as well as the many amendments put forward by the
European Parliament. Soon after the publication of the amended draft, the
Commission also issued a Memorandum on the interpretation of the Directive
(Record EU9703109F [1])

Civil service employment relationship privatised
A "national agreement" between the Italian Government and trade unions,
signed in March 1997, has established harmonised rules for almost all
employment in the public and private sectors.
Hospitals faced with strikes.
Two separate strikes have been hitting the French hospital sector over
February and March 1997. On the one hand, certain unions are campaigning
against cuts in hospital budgets while, on the other hand, numerous trainee
doctors and senior consultants are on strike, demanding the revision of the
medical agreement co-signed by the health insurance office (CNAM) and the
medical profession, which in their opinion hinders the practicing of
professional medicine.
Regional employers' association in the building industry quits peak associations
On 19 March 1997, the general meeting of the Fachgemeinschaft Bau Berlin und
Brandenburg, the regional industry and employers' association for the
building industry in the federal states of Berlin and Brandenburg, decided to
quit the Zentralverband des Deutschen Baugewerbes (Central Association of the
German Building Trade, ZDB) and the Hauptverband der Deutschen Bauindustrie
(Federal Association of the German Building Industry, HDB). In future, the
regional association will no longer participate in the highly centralised
collective bargaining system of the building industry, which includes central
framework agreements (Manteltarifverträge) and national wage agreements
(Lohntarifverträge).
1996 saw the lowest number of unofficial strikes in the 1990s
According to the yearly wage statistics from the Danish Employers'
Confederation (DA), 1996 was the most conflict-free year for the private
sector labour market in the 1990s. From 1995 to 1996, the number of
unofficial strikes - defined as those in contravention of a collective
agreement - fell from 1,740 to 791 and the number of working days lost
decreased by 70% to 52,808 in 1996. Although there was an overall decrease in
working days lost, the proportion of working days lost due to wage
disagreements increased from 45% to 52% and conflicts related to redundancies
and dismissals increased from 5% to 13%. Between 1995 and 1996 secondary
action fell drastically, from 34% to 9% of the total number of working days
lost. This can be attributed to the 1995 bus conflict ("RiBus-konflikten"),
one of the longest disputes in post-war Danish industrial relations.
Bargaining, union elections and workforce reductions in banking
Negotiations to revise the important collective agreement in Portugal's
banking sector are deadlocked. The industry's largest trade union will soon
hold its elections, but its socialist members are divided, while substantial
workforce reductions have been announced for the coming years.
Dispute over unsocial hours bonus in "7-Eleven" shops ends up in the Labour court
On 13 March 1997, Handelsanställdas förbund (Commercial Employees' Union)
sued the company behind the 7-Eleven chain of shops for SEK 1 million
compensation for breach of the collective agreement. The agreement in
question is in fact a combination of two, which were agreed last summer in an
attempt to settle a dispute concerning the unsocial hours bonus.
The closure of Renault-Vilvoorde
On Thursday 27 February 1997 Renault announced - completely unexpectedly -
the closure of its Belgian production plant in Vilvoorde by July of this
year. As a result, more than 3,000 Renault employees and an estimated 1,500
employees in direct supply companies will lose their jobs. There is a general
consensus that the decision ignored all legal rules and procedures concerning
factory closures. This includes ILO and OECD procedures as well as national
codes of conduct, and European Union and national legislation on collective
redundancies and works council rights. These regulations lay down that
employees have to be notified before a decision about a factory closure is
made and informed about the ways in which the company plans to deal with the
consequences for the employees.

Trust and discontent in the age of COVID-19
Given that compliance with lockdown measures is a first line of defence against COVID-19, maintaining trust in institutions is vital to ensure a coordinated, comprehensive and effective response to the pandemic. This report investigates developments in institutional and interpersonal trust across time, with a particular emphasis on the COVID-19 pandemic period and its impact. It examines the link between trust and discontent and investigates the effect of multidimensional inequalities as a driver of distrust.

Skills use and skills strategies in European establishments
This report explores the association between skills use and skills strategies and establishment performance, and how other workplace practices, in terms of work organisation, human resources management and employee involvement, can impact on this. It looks at how skills shortages can be addressed, at least in part, by creating an environment in which employees are facilitated and motivated to make better use of the skills they already have. This further supports the business case for a more holistic approach to management.

Impact of change on work and employment in financial services
The financial services sector is pertinent for studying the impact of digitalisation, as the main 'raw material' of the sector is digitally stored and processed. Process automation in the sector is likely to lead to significant job losses over the next 10 years, as the high street bank presence declines and the online bank presence increasingly accounts for a higher share of overall activity. Such trends have already been identified in bank restructurings captured in Eurofound's European Restructuring Monitor.

The impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic have varied across sectors, occupations and categories of worker (for instance, according to gender, age or employment status). Hours worked have declined the most in sectors such as accommodation services and food and beverage services, and in occupations heavily reliant on in-person interaction, such as sales work. At the same time, it's in these sectors that labour shortages have become increasingly evident as labour markets have begun to normalise.

Kerry Calls For Energy Integration, No Mention Of Keystone XL
05.07.2014 | Daily Surge |
Secretary of State John Kerry called for increased economic integration of countries in the Western Hemisphere, specifically mentioning the region's energy potential.
"Today, it's clear, the world's new energy map is no longer centered in the Middle East, but in the Western Hemisphere," Kerry said, adding that the region should move quickly to lower the barriers to trade.
Kerry said that it's vital for the Western Hemisphere to develop "sustainable energy supplies" to fight global warming, Politico Pro reported. But Kerry made no mention of a major energy project that would facilitate Western Hemispheric energy trade: the Keystone XL pipeline.
The Keystone XL pipeline would bring more than 800,000 barrels oil sands per day from Canada into the U.S. to be refined. The U.S. imported 1.1 million barrels of oil and petroleum products from Canada last year. Keystone XL could bring this to 4 million barrels per day by 2030 — twice the amount the U.S. imports from the Persian Gulf.
But the State Department has delayed its decision on whether or not Keystone would be in the national interest. The State Department was set to make a decision by the end of May, but last month announced they were indefinitely pushing back their decision because of Nebraska court ruling on the project's route.
Pipeline supporters were angry, saying this decision was politically motivated and would only hurt working class Americans.
"This is once again politics at its worst," said Terry O'Sullivan, general president of the Laborers' International Union of North America. "In another gutless move, the administration is delaying a finding on whether the pipeline is in the national interest based on months-old litigation in Nebraska regarding a state level challenge to a state process — and which has nothing to with the national interest."
Environmentalists have argued that the pipeline will contribute to global warming because it will spur more development of Canadian oil sands, which they argue is more carbon dioxide-intensive than conventional oil.
"It is already clear that the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline fails the climate test and will damage our climate, our lands, and our waters," said Susan Casey-Lefkowitz, director of the International Program at the Natural Resources Defense Council.
"Getting this decision right includes being able to evaluate the yet-to-be determined route through Nebraska and continuing to listen to the many voices that have raised concerns about Keystone XL," she added.
Obama administration critics also argue that the delay was to appease billionaire liberal donor Tom Steyer, a former hedge fund manager who has funneled millions into environmental causes — including opposing the Keystone XL pipeline.
"Tom Steyer: 1; American jobs: 0," Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus said in a statement.
Steyer has promised to raise $100 million to make global warming a top issue in the 2014 elections. He was a major force for campaign cash in the 2013 election season, and Democrats have been accused of jockeying for more of Steyer's money.
Keystone delays put energy state Democrats in a precarious position. They have to appease their constituents by pushing for the pipeline's approval while also toeing the party line on global warming. A recent poll done by the pro-pipeline Consumer Energy Alliance found that voters in Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, Montana and New Hampshire were much less likely to vote Democrat this fall is the Obama administration delayed the Keystone XL again.
"In Iowa 35 percent of voters would by less likely to vote for a Democrat, 38 percent are less likely in Kentucky, 31 percent in Michigan, 37 percent in Montana, and 34 percent in New Hampshire," the Hill newspaper reported.

How Long Does Carfentanil Stay In Your Body
Home » Health Blog » Health » Family & Community Health » How Long Does Carfentanil Stay In Your Body
Carfentanil or carfentanyl (Wildnil) is a derivative of the popular synthetic opioid analgesic fentanyl, and is one of the most potent opioids known (also the most potent opioid used commercially). Carfentanil was first synthesized in 1974 by a team of chemists at Janssen Pharmaceutica which included Paul Janssen. It has a quantitative potency approximately 10,000 times that of morphine and 100 times that of fentanyl, with activity in humans starting at about 1 microgram. It is marketed under the trade name Wildnil as a general anaesthetic agent for large animals. Carfentanil also known by the street name elephant tranquilizer is intended for large-animal use (elephants , giraffe, camels, rhinos etc) because its extreme potency makes it inappropriate for use in humans because in can result in lethal carfentanil overdose symptoms. Currently sufentanil, approximately 10–20 times less potent (500 to 1000 times the efficacy of morphine per weight) than carfentanil, is the maximum strength fentanyl analog for use in humans.
Route of administration and dosage
In Europe, carfentanil is currently typically administered by intravenous injection. This is because it is sold as or mixed with heroin or other opioids without users being aware. Carfentanil can also be administered orally as a powder, as tablets, or as a solution; it can also be administered sublingually or intranasally via carfentanil nasal spray or snorted (insufflated); inhaled by vaporising e-liquid type solutions ('vaping'); inhaled by smoking or vaporising the 'free base'; and administered transdermally. In view of its high potency, users may prepare diluted solutions for intranasal application using nasal sprays. However, there is limited information with respect to the dose and the dose regimens of carfentanil. It is not possible to currently ascertain the 'typical' dosages administered by users. In addition, doses appear to differ based on factors such as the route of administration, the tolerance of the users, the use of other drugs, and the desired effects.
Duration of drug action depends on several factors: the absolute amount of drug given; the pharmaceutical preparation; the reversibility of drug action; the half-life of the drug; the slope of the concentration-response curve; the activity of metabolites, and the influence of disease on drug elimination. Other factors that can affect how you metabolize drugs include
Size: A large person generally needs more of a drug han a smaller person needs for the same effect.These factors may affect how the body absorbs the drug, how the body breaks down (metabolizes) and eliminates the drug, or what effects the drug has on the body. The larger you are, the less a given dosage of a drug is likely to affect you.
Percentage body fat: The distribution of a drug between tissues is dependent on vascular permeability, regional blood flow, cardiac output and perfusion rate of the tissue and the ability of the drug to bind tissue and plasma proteins and its lipid solubility.Drugs that dissolve in fat (fat-soluble drugs), rapidly enters the brain, but a water-soluble drug, does not. In general, fat-soluble drugs can cross cell membranes more quickly than water-soluble drugs can. For some drugs, transport mechanisms aid movement into or out of the tissues.The more body fat you have, the less sensitive you may be to the effects of certain drugs.
Gender: Women and men have different profiles of liver enzymes, affecting how they metabolize some drugs. Physiologic differences between men and women affect drug activity, including pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. Pharmacokinetics in women is affected by lower body weight, slower gastrointestinal motility, less intestinal enzymatic activity, and slower glomerular filtration rate. Because of delayed gastric emptying, women may need to extend the interval between eating and taking medications that must be absorbed on an empty stomach.
Genetics: People of different ethnic groups may have genetic resistances or vulnerabilities to how they metabolize certain drugs, especially alcohol. Differences in genetic (inherited) makeup among these individuals affect what the body does to a drug and what the drug does to the body.
Diet: Many foods, such as grapefruit juice, and many dietary supplements can change levels of enzymes in the liver, affecting drug metabolism. Metabolic food-drug interactions occur when the consumption of a particular food modulates the activity of a drug-metabolising enzyme system, resulting in an alteration of the pharmacokinetics of drugs metabolised by that system.
Tolerance: If you use a drug repeatedly, you may require more of it to achieve the desired effect. Tolerance leads to increasing doses of a drug being required to produce the same effect. Other possible mechanisms are a decrease in binding affinity between a drug and receptor and a decrease in the number of receptors.
Disease: Certain diseases that affect the liver, kidneys, heart or brain can affect how your body metabolizes drugs. These disorders affect not only the metabolism and excretion of drugs but also their absorption (through first-pass effect) and distribution (through protein binding)
Fentanyl which is hundred times less stronger than Carfentanil claimed the life of the musician Prince in April 2016, its derivative is one of the strongest opiates available today. How Long a drug stay in your body is largely dependent on the half life of that drug? The half life of a drug is the period of time required for the concentration or amount of drug in the body to be reduced by one-half. Carfentanil has a half-life of 7.7 hr. This implies that after 462 minute (7.7 hours) following the administration of 40μg/kg for example, only 20μg of the drug will remain in the body and after 15.4 hours only 10 μg of the drug will remain. Using this template (40μg ) only 3.3μg of Carfentanil will remain in the body after 24 hours. Because of the lethal nature of this drug, human toxicology studies are prohibited in most countries. However, intramuscular administration of carfentanil in domestic goats (dose: 40 μg/kg) led to rapid absorption, with time to maximum effect (Tmax) at 11 min. Plasma concentrations subsequently declined in a biphasic pattern. The effects of carfentanil were long lasting, with a half-life (t1/2) of 5.5 hours. Carfentanil plasma concentrations (LOQ: 0.0085 ng/ml) could be detected in all goats for at least 12 hours. Available data from studies indicate that ,Carfentanil is widely distributed throughout the body and crosses the blood brain barrier. In regions of the brain with higher binding potential, the drug disappears gradually with the majority still remaining after 90 minutes. Systemically available carfentanil is rapidly metabolised showing similarities to fentanyl metabolism. SEE: How Long Does Methadone Stay In Your Urine

Component losses in refrigeration compressors
Pearson, S. Forbes (1958) Component losses in refrigeration compressors. PhD thesis, University of Glasgow.
The purpose of this investigation was to examine the relative importance of factors affecting the volumetric efficiency of small refrigeration compressors with particular reference to blowback effects at the suction valve. The overall volumetric efficiency being recognised as an unreliable indication of the relative importance of component losses, the separate losses associated with the action of unclamped, reed type, compressor suction valves were analysed and measured. The main factors affecting volumetric efficiency were assumed to be heat transfer between fluid and cylinder, re-expansion of clearance volume vapour, throttling at the valves, blowback past the valves while closing, leakage past the piston and leakage due to imperfect seating of the valves. A review of previous work indicated that the loss due to blowback was worthy of attention though no experimental results were available owing to the difficulties attending the measurement of this quantity. A theoretical study of the problem of blowback past the suction valve was made and methods of analysis devised by which blowback quantities could be predicted. The approach of previous workers to the dynamics of valve action was not followed as it proved invalid when applied to those parts of the cycle where blowback occurred. New experimental techniques were developed in order to make direct measurements of blowback losses in a small open type compressor. Initial tests were performed in which the suction valve of an otherwise conventional compressor was operated by electro-magnetic means. This method did not prove sufficiently accurate and an A.C. operated constant temperature hot-wire anemometer was developed to indicate gas valocities in the suction port. The anemometer, in conjunction with valve motion measurements, was used to investigate the effects of speed, valve lift, valve thickness, valve end freedom and fluid density on blowback. From the records obtained it became evident that the anemometer diagrams could also be used to give rapid and accurate measurements of re-expansion and throttling losses. The results showed that a combination of light valve reed and low lift produced the greatest efficiencies in practice. The loss due to blowback was also much reduced when pumping dense fluids. Some tests were carried out on a small modem "hermetic" compressor and these indicated that the anemometer could be applied to investigations on such sealed units without undue difficulty. Details are also given of a new type of compressor which was designed on the basis of the data obtained in the investigation. The main features of the design are the reduced throttling and blowback losses.

Kallikrein 11 has two alternative splicing isoforms, known as the brain type and prostate type. Elevated serum levels of hK11 have been found in 70% of women with ovarian cancer and in 60% of men with prostate cancer. Analysis of this biomarker in serum may aid in the diagnosis and monitoring of ovarian and prostatic carcinoma.


There are a number of different avenues to consider when recruiting your core group and volunteers. Word-of-mouth tends to work best and can provide the greatest long term stability, but this may only be viable once you have an established group which people have the confidence in to promote and recommend to their own personal networks.
Particularly when recruiting at the early stages of a project, try to avoid having set plans and be prepared to be flexible with your vision. While an exciting and well-thought-out idea can attract and inspire people to join the group, it is important that new members have the opportunity to contribute their own suggestions to shape the outcome in order to feel a sense of ownership and close connection and commitment to the project.
Details of the role. If you are advertising a particular role, you might want to provide some information on the tasks involved. You could even provide a link to a simple job description and person specification if you are looking for something very specific.
Time commitment. Often it is not that the role doesn't appeal to people, but a lack of time that prevents them becoming involved. It could therefore help to indicate the likely time commitments and how flexible those commitments would be.
What's in it for them? Think about what will motivate people to join the group. As well as the practicalities of the tasks involved with the role, it is worth promoting the added benefits of furthering a worthy cause, meeting new people and making friends, as well as any training or useful experience that could be gained.
Contact details. Don't forget to include your contact details so they can get in touch!
Sustainable Charlbury started out with two directors who were the initial instigators of the group's Southill Solar project. They announced the project on the Charlbury website, and a local landscape architect responded to the announcement by volunteering his services. Since then, other local people with relevant skills have put themselves forward to volunteer to help take the project forward.
Brighton Energy Co-operative was initiated by the current chairman, who used press releases, email lists and public meetings to capture local interest and establish a core team. The core team of five directors and advisors have a mix of skills and experience in the energy, business and financial sectors.
Do your research and consider whether any existing groups in the area could provide a platform from which to recruit group members or volunteers. A lot of time and energy may be saved by piggybacking on the resources of a community group that is already well-established, respected and recognised.
You should be able to identify a potential list of people and groups to contact simply by carrying out a basic internet search. Alternatively, you could get ideas for who to contact by talking to people and carrying out some kind of stakeholder mapping exercise.
Community groups. Community groups pursuing social or environmental aims will have a pool of potentially dedicated, passionate and likeminded people involved who could be interested in your project. Transition Network, Friends of the Earth or Greenpeace groups are particularly worth contacting and may be open to working in partnership.
Community or residents' associations. Members of community or residents' associations tend to be engaged with local issues and affairs, and therefore may be interested in becoming involved with your project.
Friends, family and colleagues. Your own personal connections could be willing to support the setting up and running of your project. However, it is wise not to limit recruitment to within your own circles if you want your group to be representative and to avoid appearing "cliquey".
Experts and professionals. Experts and professionals can bring a variety of useful skills and contacts to your group.
Sports groups. Sports clubs and organisations bring people together and promote community spirit, providing a source of strong community connections.
Religious groups. Religious groups tend to be tight-knit and take an interest in local affairs and ethical issues, and therefore may a place to find interested individuals.
Political groups. Local political groups, such as those affiliated with the Green Party, could offer a source of community activists and passionate individuals.
Stroudco Food Hub pulled together a list of 83 local food and drink producers just by doing a bit of web-searching and networking. They involved interested food producers and consumers in planning of their Food Hub right from the start, and many of these people continue to do a lot of valuable voluntary work in planning the future of the Hub. There is a 'core group' of members elected each year who manage the Hub, made up of 50% consumers and 50% producers. You will be amazed by how many people right on your doorstep will be interested and engaged in your group's cause – you just have to go out there and find them!
Bath and West Community Energy's team originally formed when initiatives started by the Transition Bath Energy Group and Transition Corsham came together under one banner. There are seven directors in the team, many of which have past experience of working on other community projects in Bath and the surrounding area.
An event or open meeting is a good place to recruit your core group or volunteers, as you will have a captive audience from which to bring on board committed individuals.
Below are a few ideas for how to go about recruiting at an event or meeting.
Networking and talking to people. Simply having conversations with new and different people at an event or meeting can help to identify individuals who might be valuable, willing and interested to get more involved. Personal invitations or offers of support can be more successful and effective when made face-to-face in this way.
Publicity material and displays. Having eye-catching publicity material or displays advertising the opportunities available can inform people of what is on offer and how they can get more involved. Make sure you include details for how to apply or make enquiries.
Give a presentation. A presentation explaining your group or project, the benefits of involvement and the types of roles you are recruiting for can be an effective way to communicate and promote opportunities.
Speed dating with a difference. If you have a wide range of roles to recruit for, you could arrange a form of speed dating session. Those attending could sit down with members from different work groups or with responsibilities for different areas of your project in turn to discuss available opportunities. This can provide a fun and interactive way to recruit when you need to boost numbers.
Follow up after the event or meeting. Instead of directly recruiting at an event or meeting, another option is to call for support from those who were in attendance afterwards via email or other communication methods.
During meeting discussions. If plans are being formulated during a meeting discussion, this can be combined with bringing those in attendance on board to help to deliver the next steps identified. This can lead to a one-off or more permanent roles developing.
Dingwall Wind Co-op took time to identify and recruit founding directors who were well known and trusted locally and happy to promote the Co-op. People were approached through personal contacts and asked to a meeting where the basic idea was laid out. A very large number of questions were asked and a lot of time spent with each of the prospective directors. One or two people approached decided to continue as supporters rather than in active roles. It was notable that some of the most difficult people to satisfy did then go on to become directors and take an active role in the launch of the Co-op!
A group of enthusiastic colleagues at Dublin City Council got together to run an energy awareness campaign in the Council and to help communicate sustainability issues. The local energy agency Codema worked closely with these staff members to develop a 1-year campaign called "Think Energy". In order to form a team which would make plans and decisions on the campaign, staff members of Codema gave a short presentation on the benefits of behavioural change to Dublin City Council employees in the area of Facility Management, Information Services and Human Resources. The Think Energy team was formed. Given the large size of the Civic Offices building with 1,500 staff members, it was decided that further "Think Energy Ambassadors" needed to be recruited to spread the energy-saving message on the ground. This was done by offering a lunchtime talk on "How to save energy at home" in the Civic Office's conference room. Lunch and tea/coffee was provided and an energy consultant was invited to give a presentation to 60 attendees. They were provided with energy tips and information on the campaign and later asked whether they would like to volunteer to become Think Energy Ambassadors. The volunteering programme was also advertised in the organisation's newsletter, on the Dublin City Council intranet and via the Think Energy Online Hub, a website which had been created for the project by the marketing team in Codema.
The Big Lemon formed its initial core team as a result of an informal open meeting in a pub. A group of local people got together to explore ideas for a community bus company as a response to rises in local bus fares. It was the first time most of the people in the room had met each other, having been invited by posters and an article in the local paper, and the group included community activists, businesspeople, bus drivers, pensioners, local politicians, residents and a few journalists. It was an interesting and fruitful discussion, and by the end of the evening there was a plan. There was even an offer from one of the bus drivers in the room to drive the first day of service for nothing!
If you have a large and established core group, you may want to consider inviting applications or nominations for certain roles. This approach can work well if it is particularly important to recruit someone with the right skillset and attitude, or to make your group more democratic and representative of your community. Generally this approach will suit well-established groups with a more formal structure.
Applications and interviews. Developing application forms and inviting candidates who return the forms to a brief interview can help you to gauge who is the right person for a role when you are likely to have a number of people interested in the position. Interviews need not be anything more than an informal chat in a local café over a cup of coffee. Make sure you publicise the role widely, with details of the job description and person specification, a link to the application form, where to send it and a deadline for applications.
Nominations and voting. As your group becomes established and more formal, you might want to consider a process of nominations and voting to recruit elected members. Recruiting group members in this way will promote a more democratic and representative organisation, which in turn will help to ensure local people feel they have a say and are part of the process. The process involves inviting nominations with a supporting statement from the candidate by a certain deadline. The candidate statements and ballot papers can then be circulated to all group members and supporters in order for them to vote for their preferred candidate by post or at an open meeting, such as an AGM. The legal structure of your group will affect members' voting rights.
Bath and West Community Energy's Election Policy sets out the process for nominating and voting for Non-Executive Directors. They hold an introductory meeting for members interested in becoming Non-Executive Directors in advance of the deadline for returning nomination forms. Nominations must be supported by one proposing member and at least one supporting member, and can be made at the AGM at which the election is held. Candidates need to meet specified eligibility criteria and submit a statement with their nomination of up to 750 words outlining why they would make a good Director. The statements are copied and included with ballot papers and circulated to members before the AGM at which the election takes place. Vote counting is conducted under a simple majority system.

New York Knicks: Kristaps Porzingis Won't Forget Rudy Gobert Dunk (Video)
Chip Murphy
New York Knicks' Kristaps Porzingis was embarrassed by Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert on Sunday. Porzingis wants to get Gobert back.
Kristaps Porzingis had his second straight excellent offensive performance on Sunday against a good defense, the Utah Jazz. Unfortunately for Porzingis, no one is going to remember his 28 points after what Rudy Gobert did to him late in the fourth quarter.
With less than three minutes remaining in a final period dominated by Utah, "The Stifle Tower" caught a perfect bounce pass in the paint from George Hill and ascended over everyone's favorite Knick for the one-handed dunk.
The 7-foot-1 Gobert's freakish wingspan of 7 feet 8 1/2 inches allowed him to make the 7-foot-3 Porzingis look like a guard.
As if it couldn't get any worse for KP, two possessions later Gobert blocked his shot.

So Porzingis got served by arguably the best defensive big man in the NBA who just happened to be celebrating a brand new $100 million contract. No shame in that.
It's good to hear that Porzingis wants to get Gobert back. He's showing some competitive fire, and that's what you want in your star players.
Maybe Joakim Noah is rubbing off on the kid already.

DeadDrop Labs Opens the Door to VFX Compute Power on AWS Cloud
DeadDrop Labs works with post production houses, VFX studios, editors, animators, game designers and digital artists to help them optimise and take better advantage of their work environment. In particular, their team configures and customises the performance, flexibility and cost efficiency of the cloud to match specific company needs, and is an AWS Consulting Partner.
One of DeadDrop's customers is VFX and animation studio WeFX in Toronto, launched a little over a year ago in July 2020. Its team has grown quickly and now works on a range feature films and episodic television series. Founded by VFX Supervisor Mo Ghorbankarimi and director Pouya Badkoobeh, the studio most recently completed work on the second season of the fantasy drama 'SEE' on Apple TV+.
Minimising Risk
At this early stage, the facility has widely varying requirements for computing resources and has set up a scalable hybrid infrastructure built on Amazon Web Services (AWS) to manage the systems they have access to. To minimize risk, WeFX hired DeadDrop Labs to handle its AWS integration build.
The DeadDrop team now monitors and continues to make adjustments to the integration based on WeFX's needs. Using a cloud and AWS specialist identifies different cloud services that might be useful to them, and notes when something needs to change. "DeadDrop Labs helped us design studio infrastructure that is modern and adaptable," said WeFX Head of Technology Laurence Cymet. "Their team helped us build a platform that can expand to take advantage of the scalability of the cloud and AWS, which is important because our project flow and resource demands can be unpredictable."
During the build, WeFX's IT team focussed on establishing the studio's physical infrastructure, and DeadDrop Labs worked alongside them to architect and develop complementary systems on AWS. Laurence said, "We knew that we wanted to use AWS because its infrastructure is well suited to supporting VFX without major investment – it scales rapidly, users only pay for what they use and the environment is secure. The DeadDrop team knows its services and how it works, inside and out."
WeFX Head of Technology, Laurence Cymet
Using their IT skills and understanding of the needs of media and entertainment companies, DeadDrop Labs designs, secures and optimises connectivity to the cloud. They also use a pipeline approach to secure the infrastructure, both physical and cloud, and make it operationally robust for the software WeFX uses.
Because supporting rapid growth during a pandemic presented significant challenges due to hardware shortages, the studio deliberately chose to incorporate a cloud component into their infrastructure to help scale resources. Encouraged by a successful experience using virtual workstations running on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) G4dn instances, with AWS Thinkbox Deadline software for render farm managagement, WeFX has started to broaden its AWS usage.
Bridging Capacity
The team has used AWS virtual workstations to offset heavy workloads on their physical workstations, and taken advantage of AWS burst rendering services at critical times. Recently responsible for delivering a large-scale, highly detailed full-CG environment shot on a tight schedule, involving over 1.6 TB of data, WeFX rendered the shot in three hours using the cloud.
Using the expertise of DeadDrop Labs for guidance, the studio was able to scale its render compute resources quickly, launching more than 300 instances and more than 40,000 cores on AWS. "The DeadDrop Labs team helped us quickly bridge the render capacity we already had in place to AWS for burst rendering, without having to redesign and rebuild our pipeline. Now we have the capability to scale on demand when the situation requires it," said Laurence.
WeFX is exploring Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) tiers and rendering with Amazon EC2 Spot Instances. S3 tiering is an automated service that monitors access patterns and automatically moves objects that have not been accessed within a defined period to lower cost access tiers. It can be used as a storage class for data with unknown, changing or unpredictable access patterns, independent of the object size or retention period. Amazon also automatically creates and stores copies of all S3 objects across multiple systems, to ensure availability and protect against failures, errors, and threats.
EC2 Spot Instances make temporarily unused EC2 capacity in the AWS cloud available at heavily discounted prices compared to On-Demand capacity. Although AWS can reclaim it at any time, it is useful for fault-tolerant, stateless applications, R&D or uses without firm deadlines.
Cost Analysis
Always responsible for sticking to budget, Laurence and his team closely monitor a cost analysis sheet created by DeadDrop Labs that aggregates AWS usage and simplifies budgeting decisions. It's also a useful tool for comparing costs of on-premises and cloud-based resources. DropDead's analysis shows how to track and perform tasks throughout the workflow, balancing the quality of the outcome with cost and the impact on schedules and timing.
"The potential of the cloud came to life for us when one of our artists needed more RAM in their workstation and it only took a few minutes to satisfy that need. Then being able to take advantage of burst render further solidified its value," Laurence said. "With the availability of AWS resources, we're able to take on larger projects without rebuilding our physical infrastructure." aws.amazon.com

The distinction is relatively easily seen where the two roles are separated, say, the Queen and the Prime Minister in Britain or the President and the Prime Minister in India. In a parliamentary system the head of the State performs ceremonial duties. Normally the area of influence of ceremonial heads is very limited.
The real functionaries are the political persons who make the government and are headed by the Prime Minister. There is, thus, a clear difference between a executive and the executive; the authority of the former is nominal or titular whereas of the latter it is real or actual. There is wide difference between theory and practice here.
In terms of law the head of the State may be the source of authority, but his legal functions have become obsolete either as a result of binding conventions or as a result of Constitutional provisions.
When the same person plays both the roles of head of the State and head of the government, he combines unto himself the ceremonial as well as political responsibilities. [There is a single identifiable head of the executive, the President of the United States, ' who will also be the head of the State.
He is an executive as well as the executive. Under absolute monarchy and dictatorship the question of distinguishing the real from the nominal executive does not arise. Here all authority is concentrated in a single person or a group of persons.


Dental implants are commonplace, and yet it seems as though many don't know very much about them. Here at BiteLock, we want to help change that! Our denture system uses the highest quality dental implants, and we want to make sure you know what is going to happen if you choose to partake in such a fantastic technological advancement. Be sure to know, our team is comprised of only the most expert of dentists and oral surgeons, and no one will take better care of you than we will. If you have any questions about implants or how our dental system works, be sure to give us a call today and we can set up a consultation at your earliest convenience!
How Do We Install Dental Implants?
For our system, specifically, we will install anywhere from four to six implants to hold our denture system in place permanently. This involves a relatively simple surgery, and we will do all of the implants within the same visit. After the damaged teeth are removed, we will prepare your jaw. In some instances, this can involve bone grafting if your jawbone is too soft or too thin. At that point, a bit of bone (likely from elsewhere in your jaw, upper or lower) is taken and transplanted to the site of weakness, so to speak. From that point, you may need to wait several months for the bone to grow, and to heal. When our dentists deem you ready, though, we can proceed with the process.
We will then cut into your gums enough to expose the bone. After drilling holes in the bone, the implant is installed, acting in much the same way as the root of a natural tooth. Our implants are made from titanium, and we will use the same process as many times as we need to for your denture system. You are under an anesthetic while the procedure is taking place, and while you may have some discomfort in the days directly following the installation of your new smile, it will be minimal. Our patients tend to be pain-free and incredibly satisfied with their implants after they finish their procedure.
Is There an Implant for Each Tooth?
While some implants get crowns or individual teeth for each implant, our denture system utilizes four to six posts and will use them to hold down the entire set of dentures. This gets rid of any need for messy and annoying denture glue or adhesive, and means that it won't move or shift at all. This means no discomfort over time, and no unattractive gagging if they slide.
Our team has had years of experience working with implants on their own and within our exemplary, state of the art system. We at BiteLock hold ourselves to a much higher standard and take pride in our work. Our caring staff will make sure you are as comfortable as possible, every step of the way. If you are interested in a permanent set of dentures, give us a call today at (972) 594-7414 to see if you are a perfect candidate!

Make sure you bring sunscreen with you, as you will be under the sun for quite some time during your ATV ride.
Personally, the best time to go for a Mayon ATV ride is as early as possible. It is better to ride the ATV early in the morning.

I still remember when our HEKASI teacher talked about historical places in the Philippines that were featured in our textbooks. Mayon Volcano, known for its perfect cone shape, is one of the things that we learn from our Hekasi subject in grade school. Learning about it made me wish to travel and see every historic place featured in our history books. Through that, I have always dreamed about visiting the sites I first learned about and discovered through reading our HEKASI book, which includes the beautiful Mayon Volcano.
And that one dream of an elementary student finally came true. I have finally seen the beauty of the Mayon Volcano. That being said, it truly gives me a sense of fulfillment to have finally set foot where the Mayon Volcano is, knowing that I could only see it and read about it from our HEKASI book.
That book seeing it for real mesmerizes me with how it has always been majestic and beautiful. In fact, it is even more beautiful up close! A beautiful monster, as other people would say it. "Magayon," as the locals from the Bicol region would describe it. It is truly a dream come true to see it up close!
Thank you, Mayon Volcano. Thank you for showing up during our entire trip to Bicol Region. Dios Mabalos!

Harvard, Princeton post record low acceptance rates
By Blake Ellis @CNNMoney March 30, 2012: 2:41 PM ET
NEW YORK (CNNMoney) — Your odds of getting into some of the nation's most prestigious colleges are shrinking.
The country's eight Ivy League institutions finished sending out their admission decisions to applicants late Thursday. And many of the elite schools — including Harvard, Princeton, Dartmouth and Cornell — are reporting that they accepted record low percentages of applicants for the upcoming school year.

Harvard's acceptance rate was the lowest of the Ivy Leagues, despite a slight decline in applications. The school admitted 2,032 of the 34,302 students who applied — amounting to an acceptance rate of 5.9%. That's the lowest rate on record for the university and down from last year's rate of 6.2%.
"We have always been conservative about the number of acceptances sent out at this time of year in order to avoid the possibility of overcrowding. Harvard's high graduation rate — typically 97 to 98 percent — leaves little margin for error," William Fitzsimmons, the dean of admissions and financial aid, said in a statement.

Fitzsimmons added that more than 14,000 applicants boasted scores of 700 or higher (out of 800) on the SAT critical reading test, 17,000 applicants had scores of 700 or higher on the SAT math test and 15,000 scored a 700 or higher on the SAT writing test. Plus, 3,800 applicants were ranked first in their high school classes.
Princeton University accepted only 2,095 students of the 26,664 who applied this year, bringing its acceptance rate to a historic low of 7.9%. Cornell University admitted 16.2% of the record 37,812 applicants this year — its lowest acceptance rate ever.
Dartmouth College's admittance rate was a record low 9.4%, while University of Pennsylvania accepted 12.3% — also the lowest level on record.
Meanwhile, Yale University admitted only 1,975 of the record high 28,974 students who applied this year — amounting to a 6.8% acceptance rate, down from a 7.4% rate last year.

Back Office Earnings I signed up for Builderall. They have a great support group through Facebook. The biggest problem I have is the lack of responsiveness on mobile devices. It is a nightmare building a website that you want to look good on all devices. That being the case it is useless to me. I'll be going over to Word Press with a drag and drop plugin. I had high hopes for Builderall. I wish I had read your review prior to signing up. Good article! Have a great day!
This is abundantly clear when it comes to customer service. However, it's potent value in commerce has become quite obvious as well, and businesses across all spectrums are now taking advantage of this.

It says it usually has 150 jobs on offer at any one time, though occasionally there are no jobs advertised for the UK. It's well worth checking back though, as new jobs are posted each month.
2. Ranking in Google for a phrase (let's assume that phrase is more generic and competitive than just your brand name) doesn't require half the things that Builderall offers. All you need is a website that's fast, easy for Google to crawl, has great content that people actually want to read, is mobile friendly and has links from other websites.

You can approach this online business from a couple of angles. The first is to market yourself directly to companies through LinkedIn or via cold emailing. The idea of actually marketing yourself might terrify you, but it gets easier with time. Promise.
Drop-shipping: Amazon offers one form of drop-shipping, but there are other resources for drop-shipping products that you'll never actually have to see or handle yourself. You'll simply need to close the sale. Providers like SaleHoo, Worldwide Brands, and many others, offer you a great resource for drop-shipping your products.

You can earn anything from 10p to £20 per item, and the earnings can really add up if you have a large collection. Whilst you're at it, see if your parents have any 'clutter' they'd be happy to see the back of.
Also the fact that you have to create 3 different sites for mobile, desktop, and tablet seems like working harder than you should.
The truth is that around 80% of bloggers will make zero to $100 a month from a blog, but in 2012 Nielsen Social found that there were over 181 million blogs online around the world.

How much you need to earn before it pays: No min (it pays once a month).

REC provided an Air Quality Assessment to support Hugh Baird College's planning application for a new educational institution in Bootle. The proposals aimed to provide a new college with a capacity of 300 to 350 students to accommodate a growing demand for higher education in the area.
The development site was located adjacent to a major junction in Bootle. As such, an Air Quality Assessment was required by Sefton Council to consider the potential for exposure of college students to elevated pollution levels and the suitability of the proposed ventilation system.
A dispersion modelling assessment was undertaken by REC's Air Quality Consultants using ADMS-Roads to address the concerns raised by the Local Planning Authority. This involved the prediction of pollutant concentrations across the proposed development site as a result of road vehicle exhaust emissions from the local highway network.
The outcome of the dispersion modelling assessment showed relatively high pollutant concentrations, particularly in the vicinity of the adjacent junction. However, levels at the proposed air inlet locations were below the relevant air quality standard and lower than those on the building façades facing the roadside. As such, the proposed ventilation system was shown to be suitable as it would ensure a supply of clean air for future students.
REC's Air Quality Assessment concluded that air quality issues should not be a constraint to planning consent. This saved the client additional costs associated with the implementation of further mitigation measures or revisions to the building design.
