Episode 5: Jim Bowyer
No full textRuntime 57:43In Episode 5, Eli interviews Jim Bowyer, professor emeritus at the University of Minnesota, senior contributor at Dovetail Partners, and author of The Irresponsible Pursuit of Paradise. Jim is well known for life cycle assessment research, designed to assess the environmental impact of a product or action by analyzing all of the component parts and processes. Jim offers insights about wood as a natural resource, the results of an environmental quiz that he has run for decades, and a critique of one of the most prominent environmental analyses ever conducted
Impact of Gas Hydrate Inhibitors on Halite Scale Precipitation: An Experimental and Morphological Investigation
No full textAbstract
Inorganic scale deposition is one of the most serious flow assurance problems. One of these exotic scales is halite (NaCl). Injection of hydrate inhibitors (HIs) [methanol, monoethylene glycol (MEG), triethylene glycol (TEG)] to prevent plugging of flow lines and tubing could induce precipitation of halite scales. Thus, utilizing these chemicals might adversely affect salt solubility, causing scaling problems, particularly halite scales, in high total dissolved solid (TDS) brines. In this study, the influence of HIs on scaling of a supersaturated NaCl solution with and without inhibitor was experimentally investigated.
The results of these experiments show that increasing the concentration of HIs results in a higher amount of halite precipitation. Moreover, the effect of methanol on halite precipitation is more severe compared to MEG and TEG. On the other hand, the static efficiency results illustrate that raising the concentration of HI reduces the scale inhibition efficiency in the presence of methanol and TEG to a lower extent, while the inhibitor could have a 100% inhibition efficiency in the MEG solution. Furthermore, in the case of methanol, the optimum inhibition efficiencies at HI concentrations of 10 and 40 wt% were observed at SI concentrations of 500 and 200 ppm, respectively. Alterations in the morphology of halite in the presence of HIs were analyzed using optical microscopy and environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM) techniques. In this study, the effect of morphology changes of halite due to the addition of HI is addressed for the first time. These investigations can help provide a better understanding of the mechanism of halite scaling in the presence of HIs.</jats:p

Letter from Jim Matsuoka, National Coalition for Redress/Reparations, to Mervyn M. Dymally, Congressman, 31st Congressional District, January 14, 1982
No full textLetter from Jim Matsuoka, National Coalition for Redress/Reparations (NCRR), to Mervyn M. Dymally, Congressman, inviting him to make an address at the Day of Remembrance (DOR) event.The Jim Matsuoka Nikkei for Civil Rights and Redress Collection includes brochures, meeting notes and agendas, publications, booklets, and other material related to the Nikkei for Civil Rights and Redress (NCRR), formally known as the National Coalition for Redress/Reparations. The National Coalition for Redress/Reparations was officially formed on July 12, 1980, and included members of the Los Angeles Community Coalition for Redress/Reparations (LACCRR), Japanese Community Progressive Alliance (JCPA), Tule Lake Committee, Nihonmachi Outreach Committee, the Asian/Pacific Student Union, and other members of the community. The material was collected by Jim Matsuoka, a founding member of the organization. Matsuoka also served on the board and was the treasurer. In addition to the NCRR material, the collection also contains event flyers and Day of Remembrance material. For issues of the Nikkei for Civil Rights and Redress newsletter "Banner" published after 2007, visit the NCRR website at https://ncrr-la.org/
Roger Abrahams, author
No full textRoger Abrahams, director of the African and Afro-American Research Institute at the University of Texas-Austin and author of Positively Black, argues the case for ethnic diversity in this interview. He also discusses that the idea of "new ethnicity" is not restricted to black or brown America and he sees a widespread return to old mores inherent in the traditional ethnic value system.
