Biodiesel Research: A Bibliography and Finding Aid [WMRC TN06-085]
Biodiesel burns cleaner (i.e. produces fewer emissions) than traditional petroleum diesel fuel and is biodegradable, making it an interesting alternative fuel option in terms of both environmental protection and U.S. energy independence. Biodiesel fuels most commonly available are really blends of biodiesel and petroleum diesel (B20, or 20% biodiesel, 80% petroleum diesel, for example). An American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM) standard does exist for biodiesel (ASTM D6751). The intended audience for this publication is scientists and engineers interested in the technical aspects of biodiesel formulation and use.
Municipal Solid Waste . . . and the 4 R's: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Re-buy: an Illinois Elementary School Teacher's Guide
This manual has been designed for use at the elementary school level in classrooms where instruction dealing with municipal solid waste (MSW) and the 4Rs - reduce, reuse, recycle, and re-buy - is felt important. What separates this document from many others is the methodology as well as the scope and the sequence found here. The methodology focuses on issue investigation and the skills associated with it. The investigation skills methodology employs a broad, more generalizable approach to the process of issue investigation. The intent of this methodology is to develop in students the skills involved in issue investigation, evaluation, and resolution: capabilities which can be used throughout their lives as citizens.
