Maynard Jackson Mayoral Administrative Records
No full textThe Maynard Jackson mayoral administrative records are extensive and consist of materials spanning the years 1968 to 1994. Within this digital collection are photographs, general correspondence, Mayoral campaign materials, and printed and published materials and correspondence related to the Atlanta Child Murders. The Atlanta Child Murders subseries in the Maynard Jackson Mayoral Administrative Records chronicles the time period between 1979-1981 when multiple young black children and adults were murdered in the city of Atlanta. The murders garnered national news coverage and caused panic across the country. The records in this digital collection reflect the response to the tragedy that were both created, collected and sent to the Atlanta Mayor's office during Maynard Jackson's second mayoral term.
At the AUC Robert W. Woodruff Library we are always striving to improve our digital collections. We welcome additional information about people, places, or events depicted in any of the works in this collection. To submit information, please contact us at [email protected]
The 'true use of reading' : Sarah Fielding and mid eighteenth-century literary strategies.
No full textPhDThe aim of this thesis is to explore, by examining her life and
works, how Sarah Fielding (1710-68) established her identity as an author.
The definition of her role involves her notions of the functions of
writing and reading.
Sarah Fielding attempts to invite readers to form a sense of ties
by tacit understanding of her messages. As she believes that a work
of literature is produced through collaboration between the writer and
the reader, it is an important task in her view to show her attentiveness
toward reading practice. In her consideration of reading, she has two
distinct, even opposite views of her audience: on the one hand a familiar
and limited circle of readers with shared moral and cultural values and
on the other potential readers among the unknown mass of people. The
dual targets direct her to devise various strategies. She tries to
appeal to those who can endorse and appreciate her moral values as well
as her learning. Her writings and letters testify that she is sensitive
to the demands of the literary market, trying to lead the taste of readers
by inventing new forms.
The thesis opens with an overview of Sarah Fielding's career,
followed by a consideration of her critical attention to the roles of
reading. I go on to examine the narrative structures and strategies
she deploys, with a particular emphasis on her use of the epistolary
method. The following chapter deals with her attention to the reading
of the moral message tangibly embodied in her educational writing. It
is followed by an analysis of the activity which earned her a reputation
as a learned woman. Various as the forms of her works are, they invariably
reflect her attempt to balance herself between the two demands of
inventiveness and familiarity

A study of waste logistics in the retail sector – opportunities for ‘greening’ the take-back process
No full textUsing Winchester High Street (United Kingdom), this paper investigates the waste collection mechanisms currently employed by businesses and explores the options for more sustainable approaches to waste logistics. Contracted collections, back-loading using delivery vehicles and disposal via the businesses own staff were identified as the three main disposal systems used. As waste collection systems were tailored towards specific operational and financial constraints, there was limited cooperation observed between businesses producing similar waste types in terms of consolidating collections, optimising collection vehicle activity and maximising material recovery. Co-ordinated back-loading, where small to medium enterprises (SMEs) feed recyclate into the take-back schemes of larger retailers served by centralised distribution systems is one option. Take-back schemes should target the recovery of cardboard (50% of the total waste output) as results suggested that the average business could generate 1,299 litres or 1.23 roll cages of this recyclate per week. Wide scale participation has the potential to improve recycling rates whilst reducing the number of collection vehicles operating within the High Street, although there are some fundamental barriers to this concept which would need to be overcome. Joint domestic/commercial collections, utilising the domestic waste collection fleet to service certain SMEs could also help reduce waste collection vehicle impacts in confined urban centres. Local authorities would have to be the key drivers of such ‘take-back’ strategies, being prepared to stipulate that in certain areas, waste management would be undertaken in a particular way, perhaps using certain recognised processes/contractors for the benefit of all businesses in that are

Monitoring household waste recycling centres performance using mean bin weight analyses
No full textThis paper describes a modelling approach used to investigate the significance of key factors (vehicle type, compaction type, site design, temporal effects) in influencing the variability in observed nett amenity bin weights produced by household waste recycling centres (HWRCs). This new method can help to quickly identify sites that are producing significantly lighter bins, enabling detailed back-end analyses to be efficiently targeted and best practice in HWRC operation identified. Tested on weigh ticket data from nine HWRCs across West Sussex, UK, the model suggests that compaction technique, vehicle type, month and site design explained 76% of the variability in the observed nett amenity weights. For each factor, a weighting coefficient was calculated to generate a predicted nett weight for each bin transaction and three sites were subsequently identified as having similar characteristics but returned significantly different mean nett bin weights.Waste and site audits were then conducted at the three sites to try and determine the possible sources of the remaining variability. Significant differences were identified in the proportions of contained waste (bagged), wood, and dry recyclables entering the amenity waste stream, particularly at one site where significantly less contaminated waste and dry recyclables were observed.<br/
Analysis of mean bin weight data to monitor best practice at household waste recycling centres
No full textTransport implications of bring-site recycling
No full textLocal authorities are striving to meet their recycling targets by providing householders with a range of recycling opportunities within the community. Household waste recycling centres (HWRCs or manned recycling drop-off centres) and ‘bring-sites’ (unmanned recycling drop-off centres) allow householders to dispose of a range of items that may not be catered for at the kerbside. The current and future transport implications of these facilities as trip generators are not widely understood. Using a database of HWRC visitor origins (n = 7135), this paper estimates the current annual mileage and environmental impacts associated with current visitor trips to HWRCs, given the regulations that govern their use, and identifies how this could be reduced if a series of bring-sites in the community were enhanced. The 4 677 000 annual visitors to the 26 HWRCs in Hampshire (UK) generated 40 million km and approximately 1873 t of carbon dioxide (CO2, as carbon). A network of 104 bring-sites serviced by 78 refuse collection vehicles able to take green waste, operating in addition to the facilities at the 26 HWRCs, could save approximately 8·5 million km (21%) of travel per annum (369 t of carbon dioxide as carbon).<br/
