This reply will address Mr. Warner’s concerns pertaining to geology and geophysics which are listed and answered below. Mr. Warner’s comments pertaining to hazardous waste density, composition, chemical reactivities, hydrologic gradients, and contamination plume extent/groundwater modeling are currently being researched and are the topics of several M.Sc. theses at the University of New Orleans. Note: Hazardous waste density and chemical reactivities are very complicated issues. Dupont’s permit allows them to inject 300+ listed hazardous wastes with pH’s ranging from 2 to 12.5.

The School of Hotel, Restaurant and Tourism Administration at the University of New Orleans was declared a Center of Excellence on Nov. 22,1987 by Chancellor Gregory M. St. L. O'Brien. The faculty of the School were asked to prepare adetailed proposal for a plan of action that would propel the University of New Orleans' hospitality education program into national prominence. In a review of the nation's 10 leading hospitality programs itwas determined, that in order to acquire a national reputation three missions must be met. These are: 1) alumni success, 2) academic recognition, and 3) industry recognition. The high visibility of a program that has been declared a center of excellence results in many benefits to a program. The most important benefit is budgetary priority. However, other benefits that accrue include recruitment of excellent students, increased industry support, community recognition and attracting quality faculty.

The purpose of this paper is to combine and extend existing potential flow theory in order to analyze the linear free surface problem of an Oscillating Water Column (OWC) device and apply it to moonpool design. Analytical results were obtained implementing the previously derived theories, and later compared to experimental results conducted at the University of New Orleans Towing Tank. The model tests consisted of a study of a cylindrical OWC. The theoretical and experimental results of the free surface for the OWC tests agree for the resonant frequency estimation response but they disagree on the amplitude of the response.

This article discusses Hurricane Katrina’s meteorological setting and history, surrounding evacuation issues, and aftermath. The author, who lived in New Orleans for more than three years, taught and researched climatic hazards at the University of New Orleans, and was no stranger to evacuations, began driving to Tucson 18 hours before Katrina’s landfall and returned five months later. The article raises important considerations, including recommendations for the future. The results of flood-damage surveys conducted in Lakeview and the Lower Ninth Ward districts of New Orleans reveal an intriguing aspect: unlike in Lakeview, which filled with water over a period of hours, intense and widespread flash flooding occurred east of the Industrial Canal, yielding damage similar to that from an F4/F5 tornado. Perhaps more importantly, the article explores various reasons for why some people from these areas did not or will not evacuate when faced with imminent danger. Analyzing the events leading up to and following Katrina’s landfall can help us understand how such senseless tragedy resulted from several fatal flaws: denial, woeful preparation, and poverty. Given that Gulf Coast residents now live within a climate pattern of enhanced hurricane frequency and intensity compared to the three-decade period pre-1995, the best advice for those asked to evacuate is to just say yes.While this piece reads as a more personal account than most on the subject, it is hoped that it offers an intriguing perspective on the cultural issues impacting evacuations.

To Receive

The nomination of Irving Kravis as a Distinguished Fellow of the American Economic Association in 1991 crowned a long and distinguished career. He would go on to no further accomplishments, for it was on the trip to the ASSA meetings in New Orleans to receive the award that he passed away at Philadelphia Airport on January 2, 1992. In spite of a debilitating illness, he had continued working until the end on problems and issues that were his main concerns for more than 50 years; with fuller physical powers, he would undoubtedly have made additional contributions to our profession. This paper first discusses his administrative and pedagogical contributions at the University of Pennsylvania and then his notable research contributions.

Hazardous Waste Management

Waste management is one of the vital environmental issues since last few decades. It has been noted that the generation of waste increases with increasing population, industrialization and urbanization etc. The waste management strategy includes both non-hazardous and hazardous waste management. Non-hazardous waste does not cause potential threat to environment but instead hazardous waste is the waste that poses substantial or potential threats to public health and the environment. Rapidly growing industrial sector has contributed to the generation of large quantity of hazardous waste material. Therefore, to reduce environmental hazard, proper attention is required during storage, segregation, transportation and disposal of hazardous waste, because it cannot be disposed as off in the environment. This study explains about hazardous wastes, types and management.
