Item Artifacts : a journal of undergraduate writing, Issue 5, 2010 May : contents page(Campus Writing Program, 2010)Contents pageItem HVAC optimization study(Rhetoric and Composition Program, University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010) Sewell, Daniel E.; McKee, Tyler J.Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) can be a very costly effort when applied in industry. So was thought to be the case at the DRS Technologies facility in West Plains, Missouri. Therefore, the Pollution Prevention Program (P2) in cooperation with the DRS Technology internship program--the Cornwell Student Initiative (CSI)--decided to initiate a study focusing on the optimization of the plant's HVAC systems. The systems were thought to have become misapplied and inefficient resulting in additional energy consumption and excess electric and maintenance costs.Item Pollution, soil, and Columbia Missouri(Rhetoric and Composition Program, University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010) Kersey, MarieColumbia Missouri is getting bigger in every aspect. From parking lots to mega apartment complexes Columbia is expanding its borders constantly. Because of this rapid growth there are many effects of the construction that takes place daily in multiple regions of this city. The reason for all of the construction is the inflow of people from the surrounding cities and states. More people more cars and more cars means more air-borne pollution. Having a major university in the heart of Columbia does not help the air or soil with a student body of over 35,000. If not corrected, these emissions such as fugitive dust can lead to large problems in our environment.Item Was the need to produce pesticides higher than need to protect civilians?(Rhetoric and Composition Program, University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010) Cartagena, CindyYour blood turns cold. Your eyes become blind. Panic hits and all of a sudden air won't enter your lungs quite as easily. In the dead of the night of December 3rd, a noise resembling the pain of thousands of people was heard throughout Bhopal. People awoke to find themselves trapped in what seemed to be a gas chamber. Outside, people ran desperately trying to find relief to their pain. But, distressed occupants of Bhopal passed their wakeful nights under the most dreadful terrors imaginable. A release of deadly MIC, from a pesticide plant nearby, ruined the health of many people, and death ensued.Item Green building(Rhetoric and Composition Program, University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010) Messenger, Andrew"Thinking Green" is the new buzzword of the twenty-first century. There are the green IBM commercials that demonstrate a substantial amount of money saved if a business, "goes green" the Mac commercial with the new energy saving computer that runs on less energy than a quarter of a light bulb; the car commercials competing for the most fuel efficiency. It seems that every individual or business in the twenty-first century is concerned with the environment and what we are putting into it.
