Abstract

Foaming studies on poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) were performed to evaluate the potential impact of nitrogen gas solubility on foam microstructure and properties. It was found that there was a step change from low to high cell density below and above a specific pressure threshold. This pressure threshold, which is associated with nitrogen gas solubility in PHBV, was calculated in order to inform processing requirements for extrusion foaming of PHBV. In the process, the PVT properties of PHBV were also calculated to account for polymer swelling at high temperature and pressure. To validate the predictive method applied in this work, gas solubility of nitrogen was also determined for polypropylene (PP) and poly(lactic acid) (PLA), which have similar thermal and rheological properties to PHBV. Predicted PVT properties for PP were found to be similar to experimental values in the literature, with the predicted solubility having a 10-14% error for PP and 20-24% error for PLA. Application of the same error range to the solubility predicted for PHBV aligned well with experimental observations., INTRODUCTION Biodegradable polymers have become increasingly interesting alternatives to conventional plastics derived from nonrenewable fossil fuels. The most common are polyflactic acid) (PLA), a synthetic compostable polymer, and the family [...]

9. Siting Natural Gas Pipelines Post-PennEast: The New Power of State-Held Conservation Easements.

Author

Wright, Zach

Subjects
*BALANCE of power, *NATURAL gas pipelines, *CONSERVATION easement laws
Abstract

The article focuses on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third circuit in the case In re PennEast Pipeline Co. which swung the balance of power over control of natural gas pipeline construction back in the direction of the states. It mentions decision has injected significant legal heft to conservation easements and handed new leverage to any state interested in opposing a natural gas pipeline. It also mentions natural gas pipeline could make to their conservation easement laws.

Abstract

The Tijaniyya is the largest Sufi order in West and North Africa. In this unprecedented analysis of the Tijaniyya's origins and development in the late eighteenth century, Zachary Valentine Wright situates the order within the broader intellectual history of Islam in the early modern period. Introducing the group's founder, Ahmad al-Tijani (1737 - 1815), Wright focuses on the wider network in which al-Tijani traveled, revealing it as a veritable global Islamic revival whose scholars commanded large followings, shared key ideas, and produced literature read widely throughout the Muslim world. They were linked through chains of knowledge transmission from which emerged vibrant discourses of renewal in the face of perceived social and political corruption. Wright argues that this constellation of remarkable Muslim intellectuals, despite the uncertainly of the age, promoted personal verification in religious learning. With distinctive concern for the notions of human actualization and a universal human condition, the Tijaniyya emphasized the importance of the realization of Muslim identity. Since its beginnings in North Africa in the eighteenth century, the Tijaniyya has quietly expanded its influence beyond Africa, with significant populations in the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and North America.
