Density-Based Separation and Polymer Type Verification of Mixed Post-ConsumerThermoplastic Streams: A Sequential Separation and Contamination Reduction Protocol for Secondary Polymer Supply Chains
Abstract: The separation of mixed post-consumer thermoplastic waste streams into polymer-type-specific fractions suitable for industrial reintegration is a fundamental chemical separation challenge in secondary polymer supply chains. Density-based separation, exploiting the characteristic density ranges of common thermoplastic polymers, remains the dominant first-stage separation technique in commercial recycling operations due to its low cost, scalability, and applicability across mixed waste stream compositions. This paper presents a sequential separation and contamination reduction protocol …

Biopsychosocial Approach in Asthma
Abstract: The bio-psycho-social model of health and illness proposed by Eagel (1977) [P1] implies that behaviours, thought and feelings may influence a physical state. The basic principle says that the person suffers as a whole and not as isolated organs. In holistic approach to wellness, we should consider the personality, the emotional dimensions and the socio- environmental condition of the patient. As asthma is a controllable disease, the aim of asthma …

Design and Commercial Validation of a Hierarchical Three-Tier Quality GradingSystem for Post-Industrial and Post-Consumer Recycled Thermoplastic Resins in US Industrial SupplyChains
Abstract: Quality grading systems for recycled thermoplastic resins providing industrial buyers with a standardized, documented quality classification framework for secondary raw material procurement are a foundational requirement for the reliable integration of recycled materials into industrial supply chains. Despite this requirement, no standardized grading scale has been established for post- industrial and post-consumer PP, HDPE, and LDPE resins in industrial supply chain contexts. This paper presents the design, operational implementation, and …

The Efficacy of Hybrid Annuity Model: Sanitation Infrastructure
Abstract: The Hybrid Annuity Model has garnered significant acclaim as a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) framework for highway infrastructure development since its inception in 2016, in response to a waning enthusiasm for PPP initiatives aimed at revitalizing the sector. This model is postulated to amalgamate the advantages of both public and private sectors, as it alleviates the financial encumbrance on concessionaires by permitting governmental investment of 40% of the requisite capital during …
