Stress, Coping, Social Support, and Psychological Distress Among MSW Students
… social support, and psychological distress for MSW students. Stress is a common feeling experienced by people throughout life and it is important to understand the way they cope with their stressors. Most of the research on mental health needs at U.S. universities has focused on undergraduate …

Monitoring and Inverse Dispersion Modeling to Quantify VOCs from MSW Landfill
In USA, the Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) landfills accumulate about 130 million tons of solid waste every year. A significant amount of biodegradable solid waste is converted to landfill gas due to anaerobic stabilization by bacteria. These biochemical reactions produce volatile organic compounds …

CHALLENGES IN TRACKING THE DEGRADATION OF LANDFILLED MSW THROUGH LABORATORY AND NUMERICAL MEANS
… disposal and treatment of municipal solid waste (MSW) in Canada. The decay of landfilled MSW will govern several other ongoing landfill processes, such as heat generation, gas generation and biologically induced landfill settlement. Thus, a measurement of the remaining biological potential of in …

Stabilization of MSW combustion residues by accelerated carbonation treatment and their potential carbon dioxide sequestration
… is normally called air pollution control (APC). MSW combustion BA and APC residues potentially release metals and salts into the environment, thus landfilling or recycling options require a pre-treatment. Among the different treatment options, the carbonation process and the water washing …

National Social Work Faculty Responses About BSW and MSW Practice Domains: Working Within a Dilemma
The author suggests that bounded flexibility is a viable, conceptual model for social work practice. Bounded flexibility allows social work to fulfill its historic mission of social advocacy while maintaining methods that have a high degree of standardization and predictability of outcomes. The …

The exploitation of municipal solid waste (MSW) and related waste paper streams in the production of bioalcohol
An organic fraction from municipal solid waste (MSW) comprised 38.9% (w/w) glucose (cellulose and starch) indicating its potential as a substrate for bioalcohol production. Microscopy indicated that the fraction was rich in waste paper fibres. Much paper waste comes from shredded office paper …

In-situ passive treatment of municipal solid waste (MSW) leachate using a modified drainage leachate collection system (LCS)
… of that generated by a municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill. The overall objective is to evaluate alternative designs and operating procedures for effective leachate collection in conjunction with efforts to accelerate waste stabilization (i.e. leachate recirculation). In the investigation five …

Effect of plastics on the lignin results for MSW and the fate of lignin in laboratory solid waste reactors
Cellulose to lignin ratio is one of the widely used indicators of degree of landfill stabilization. This ratio shows the amount of carbohydrate or cellulose consumed by anaerobes compared to relatively inert lignin. However, the method of lignin measurement contains an intrinsic error. Plastics are …

Modeling biodegradation settlement of municipal solid waste (msw) based on measurement of landfill gas and degradable solids in leachate recirculated bioreactors
… biodegradation process of municipal solid waste (MSW) in leachate recirculated bioreactors, and 2) to create a realistic predictive model based on this understanding which is capable of supporting a laboratory-to-field relationship for bioreactor landfills. Biodegradation is best described by loss …

PERCEPTIONS AND PREPAREDNESS OF MASTER OF SOCIAL WORK STUDENTS IN REGARDS TO SUBSTANCE USING CLIENTS
… and preparedness of Master of Social Work (MSW) students in regards to substance using clients. The study was exploratory and the data that was collected focused on the perceptions, attitudes, and level of preparedness of forty MSW students. The study used a self-report survey that included …

Inter-relationship of mechanical and bio-chemical processes governing the settlement of municipal solid waste (MSW) using the (C +H)/L ratio
This research discusses the results of experimentation that determines the rates and magnitudes of consolidation and settlement of solid waste materials dependent upon their actual state of biodegradation decomposition and time in place. The state of decomposition of waste is determined by …

The status of wood pallet disposal and recovery at united states landfills
… landfills, specifically Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) and Construction & Demolition (C&D) landfills. Also, the research was conducted to determine what, if anything, was done with the pallets once they were received by landfills.Mail questionnaires were sent to every state licensed MSW and C&D …

HEALTHY AND MALADAPTIVE COPING STRATEGIES AMONG MASTER OF SOCIAL WORK STUDENTS
… healthy and maladaptive coping strategies among MSW students. The data was collected using self‑reported questionnaires. A total of 47 students participated in this study. Using the Transactional Model of Stress and Coping as a theoretical framework, this study assessed stress levels using the …

Investigation of Reactions Occurring in Municipal Solid Waste Residues
… than 290 million tons of municipal solid waste (MSW) is generated in the U.S. Understanding the reactions occurring in waste during disposal, transport, and storage is important to move towards an integrated waste management strategy. Recently some landfills in the U.S. have been reported to …

Analysis of barriers and success factors affecting the adoption of sustainable management of municipal solid waste in Abuja, Nigeria
… management of their Municipal Solid Waste (MSW). However, many developing countries such as Nigeria have fared less well in this regard as a result of several barriers militating against sustainable management of MSW. The principal aim of this research is therefore to carry out a critical …
