The Adoption Mystique: A Hard-Hitting Exposé of the Powerful Negative Social Stigma That Permeates Child Adoption in the United States
A-dop-tion Mys-tique:n. Cultural framework surrounding adoption policy, law and practice; the beliefs, myths and attitudes that enhance it with meaning, value, and mystery THE ADOPTION MYSTIQUEexposes, documents and confronts the effects of negative social stigma on adoption institutions, practices, adopted persons, adoptive and birthparents. It is a timely counterpoint to the misinformation and prejudices that created and maintain the myths of adoption. Secrecy and shame lie at the heart of U. S. child adoptions and have led our society to: *Failed childwelfare policies *Prejudices against adoptees, birthmothers, adoptive parents,and infertility *Discrimination and loss of rights for adoptees *Anti-adoptee media bias *Problems with telling a child he or she is adopted *Dysfunctional adoption mythsIt is time for adoption reform to bring U. S. child adoptions into the 21st century. This book leads the way..

Application of the resistances in series model in ultrafiltration [An article from: Desalination]
This digital document is a journal article from Desalination, published by Elsevier in . The article is delivered in HTML format and is available in your Amazon.com Media Library immediately after purchase. You can view it with any web browser. Description: This study deals with a subject that has recently been developed in our laboratory and whose aim is to reduce fouling of tangential membranes. In the work reported here, we show that, thanks to the resistance model, the effects of instabilities generated by a double-phase gas-liquid flow in the presence of a turbulence promoter lead to a more efficient hydrodynamics in terms of reducing deposited material on the membrane surface. The use of such a process to filtrate sodium alginate leads to very encouraging results allowing flux improvements by a factor of 2.3. .

Fouling behaviour during the nanofiltration of dairy ultrafiltration permeate [An article from: Desalination]
This digital document is a journal article from Desalination, published by Elsevier in 2006. The article is delivered in HTML format and is available in your Amazon.com Media Library immediately after purchase. You can view it with any web browser. Description: The effects of temperature and pH on the fouling behaviour of dairy ultrafiltration (UF) permeate through a nanofiltration (NF) membrane have been investigated. This has been achieved by monitoring flux curves, measuring sample mineral concentrations and via imaging of the fouled membrane surface. It has been observed that calcium phosphate is the predominant foulant leading to flux decline at various high fouling conditions, with other components including whey protein and lactose playing a lesser role. This is evidenced by the trends in bulk and soluble calcium concentration during filtration. pH has been shown to have a greater influence on flux decline than temperature, with high fouling observed for conditions of high pH. .

Removal of chromium from aqueous solution using cellulose acetate and sulfonated poly(ether ether ketone) blend ultrafiltration membranes [An article from: Journal of Hazardous Materials]
This digital document is a journal article from Journal of Hazardous Materials, published by Elsevier in 2007. The article is delivered in HTML format and is available in your Amazon.com Media Library immediately after purchase. You can view it with any web browser. Description: A process for purifying aqueous solutions containing heavy and toxic metals such as chromium has been investigated. Chromium salts are largely used in various industries including leather-manufacturing industry. Ultrafiltration processes are largely being applied for macromolecular and heavy metal ion separation from aqueous streams. Cellulose acetate and sulfonated poly(ether ether ketone) blend ultrafiltration membranes were prepared by precipitation phase inversion technique in 100/0, 90/10, 80/20 and 70/30% polymer blend compositions and subjected to the rejection of chromium at different concentrations such as 200, 400, 600, 800 and 1000ppm with a water-soluble macroligand (polyvinylalcohol). Factors affecting the percentage rejection and permeate flux such as pH, concentration of solute, concentration of PVA, transmembrane pressure and composition of blend membranes were investigated. It was found that percentage rejection improved at a pH 6 and a macroligand concentration of 2wt.%. The transmembrane pressure and concentration of solute also have an effect on the separation and product rate efficiencies of the blend membranes. .

Validation of dynamic models to predict flux decline in the ultrafiltration of macromolecules [An article from: Desalination]
This digital document is a journal article from Desalination, published by Elsevier in 2007. The article is delivered in HTML format and is available in your Amazon.com Media Library immediately after purchase. You can view it with any web browser. Description: The aim of this work was to validate the dynamic model for the average permeate flux that considers membrane fouling as a dynamic process from non-equilibrium to equilibrium to predict permeate flux decline with time in the ultrafiltration of macromolecules. This is one of the most accepted ultrafiltration dynamic models and it considers cake formation as the main fouling mechanism. For this purpose, several experiments were performed at pilot plant scale and the results were compared with the ones predicted by the model. A ceramic TiO"2-Al"2O"3 monotubular membrane (Tami, S.A., France) of 5 kDa molecular weight cut-off was used. Aqueous solutions with different concentrations of polyethylene glycol were used as feed. The flow rate and the transmembrane pressure were varied while the temperature was maintained constant at 25^oC. As the model does not consider cake compaction, the best results were obtained for low transmembrane pressures, as expected. Crossflow velocity was observed to be one of the main factors affecting fouling. The best agreement between the experimental results and those predicted by the model was obtained for low crossflow velocities as cake formation can be considered as the main fouling mechanism in this case. .
