Over-criminalization. It's an issue that doesn't get the attention that it deserves.
What's it all about? The fact that we have more criminal laws on the books (especially over the federal variety) that, essentially, puts everyone in jeopardy of being guilty of a felony and doing federal time. Meaning more people in more federal prisons. Taking up space where violent offenders should be. This as opposed to a better use of civil penalties.
Gene Healy has an excellent column over at the Examiner today on the issue. He notes the following:
There are now more than 4,000 federal crimes, spread out through some 27,000 pages of the U.S. Code. Some years ago, analysts at the Congressional Research Service tried to count the number of separate offenses on the books, and gave up, lacking the resources to get the job done. If teams of legal researchers can't make sense of the federal criminal code, obviously, ordinary citizens don't stand a chance.
No joke.
He points out that the Founding Fathers....you know, those guys who actually established our government...wrote the document that outlined what the federal government could and couldn't do, etc...that they only listed three federal crimes in the Constitution. Yes, three. Treason, counterfeiting and piracy. But OUR federal officials are SO much smarter than those guys, right?
This isn't to say nothing else should be against the law. But it's a question of felony crimes vs. civil penalties...and a question of whether or not the long list of current "crimes" are any of the federal government's business vs. that of the states.
Even just this year we've had our new wizard's of smarts in DC give us legislation making "hate" a federal crime. As in, if you commit a crime against someone and it can be proven that you "hated" that person color, sex or sexual preference (or "gender identity"), you're guilty of another "federal" crime. Brilliant! Why weren't our Founding Fathers this smart?!
Another good example is our federal "campaign finance reform" laws. You know, the ones that essentially make it a crime for individual citizens to commit "politics" in a federal election. So much for that whole freedom of speech thing, huh?
All of which brings to mind a quote from the Roman historian Tacitus: "And now bills were passed, not only for national objects but for individual cases, and laws were most numerous when the commonwealth was most corrupt."

I need to build a trans-receiver system using PXI. For the transmission part I can use a PXI 5652 to generate a single tone continuous waveform.
For the receiver part, I need an antenna to capture the signal transmitted by 5652 (which will have a transmission antenna ). The received signal will then be down converted by PXI 5601 (RF OUT of 5652 is connected to LO IN of 5601). The intermediate frequency will be then digitized by PXI 5622 (IF OUT of 5601 is connected to IF IN of 5622).
But my question is these connections are already there between the slots/chassis.(The next stage has I/Q demodulation but I want to get clear on this part first). But there is not output port on the PXI 5622, so how can I check the digitized output?
I have attached a file for reference.
Could anyone please help me on the above problem ?
Hi Sharmi,
Are the cards you showed in your document the only ones you have available to you or do you have another 5652 by chance?
The NI 5663 vector signal analyzer is made up of 3 PXI cards--the 5601, 5652, and 5622. The 5601 receives an RF signal through the RF IN connection. It then downconverts the signal to a lower frequency using mixers. The frequency of the mixers are controlled by an external local oscillator, the 5652. You cannot use the 5601 without an external LO source such as the 5652. After the signal has been downconverted, it is then sent to the 5622 to be digitized. Once the signal is digitized, the data is sent across the PXI backplane to the PXI controller and can then be collected using LabVIEW or the RFSA Soft Front Panel.
The NI 5673 vector signal generator is also made up of 3 PXI cards--the 5611, 5652, and 5450. To generate a signal, a bitstream is generated using LabVIEW, sent across the PXI backplane to the 5450. The 5450 converts it from a digital signal to an analog signal, sends it to the 5611, and the 5611 upconverts the signal to an RF frequency. The 5611 upconverts the signal using mixers and the frequency of the mixers is controlled by an external LO, the 5652.
I am a bit confused how you are communicating with your PXI system since your drawing shows 1394 and GPIB. What is your PXI controller? You should be able to use the NI-RFSA and NI-RFSG drivers to control the hardware.
Hi Sarah,
Thanks for the reply.
We have a vector signal analyzer with 5652, 5601 and 5622, a vector network analyzer with 5630 and a vector signal generator with 5450, 5611 and 5652 like you said.
Please ignore the 1394 and GPIB, which are part of the previous implementations not in PXI. Sorry for the confusion.
Below are my further questions
Sorry for too many questions.
Thanks so much,
Hi Sharmi,
To address your questions:
No, the data is not automatically sent to the 5450. The digitized data is sent to the backplane and can be accessed on your controller/laptop through LabVIEW or the RFSA Soft Front Panel. The 5450 is used to take digital signals generated by LabVIEW and turn them into an analog signal. It is not used in any part of the downconversion process.
If you want to take the data that you receive from your 5663 VSA and send it to your 5673 VSG, you will need to do so using software. There are RFSA and RFSG examples that ship with the driver that you can use as a starting point on how to acquire a signal and send a signal using LabVIEW. These examples can be found by going to Start » All Programs » National Instruments » NI-RFSA (or NI-RFSG for generation examples) » Examples.
The 5450 does generate IQ data on 2 separate channels. LabVIEW is used to generate an IQ bit stream. The IQ data is combined after being upconverted with the 5611.
The 5611 is an upconverter and is used to take the IQ signals generated by the 5450, combine them, upconvert them from some IF frequency to an RF frequency and transmit them. It can be used to do some basic types of modulation, but not demodulation. The NI RF Signal Generators Help ( Start » All Programs » National Instruments » NI-RFSG » Documentation) has a section about the 5611 that includes the hardware block diagram and a more detailed explanation about each part of the block diagram. This is where you can find out more about what basic types of modulation the 5611 is capable of performing.
Let me know if you have more questions, I'd be happy to help.
Hi Sarah,
I have looked into RFSG examples like RFSG Single Tone Generation (since we have 5652 I could execute the continuous waveform example only). I also went through RFSA help to learn how to configure RFSA through soft front panel.
I learnt that RF OUT on 5652 can be connected to RF IN on 5601 to view the waveform in RFSA soft front panel. What if I want to view the digitized data RFSA on as well? I did not find an output port on 5622 from where I could take the digitized output.
Also we have only niRFSG folder in Start » All Programs » National Instruments » NI-RFSG » Examples. I went through some of them but I don't know which example tells us about acquiring data from RFSG in RFSA and pass that digitized data to 5450.
Could you please tell me which examples to look for in order to access the digitized data from 5622 in to 5450.
Thanks so much,
Hi Sharmi,
I think I am a bit confused on what your overall application is and what you are trying to do with these devices. Could you explain what your end goal is and the system that you need? Are you trying to read in a signal with your receiver and then transmit the received signal?
RFSG stands for RF Signal Generators and RFSA stands for RF Signal Analyzers. So you will not acquire data from an RFSG device, only from RFSA devices. If you want to transmit the signal that you receive from your RFSA, you can try combining example to write the waveform you acquire with your RFSA to the RFSG device. I attached some code that you can take a look at. It may or may not be what you need for your application.
When you view the data from the RFSA device in the soft front panel, you are viewing the digitized data from that device. There is not an output port of the 5622--all of the digital data is sent to the PXI backplane. You then need to use your laptop/PXI controller to access the data using software. You can use an RFSA example to gather the digital data on your computer.
Hi Sarah,
Sorry if I confused you.
I have made a flow chart kind of thing with bullet points for my project below
I need to pass the signal received by VSA (5601) for subsequent demodulation after down conversion. To do this, do I need to write the waveform once I acquire in VSA?
(when I said "about acquiring data from RFSG in RFSA", I meant waveform generated by RFSG and viewed in RFSA. Sorry if it was not clear.)
Thanks so much,
Hi Sharmi,
Thanks for the clarification. Hopefully I can help answer your questions better now.
Part 1: Transmitting the signal
Part 2: Receiving the signal
Part 3: Demodulating the signal
Questions for you:
Thank you so much Sarah for the last post and the example. They helped a lot. Now I have an idea of the data flow in the system.
I downloaded and looked into the example in my laptop but I need to have the example in the PC which is connected to PXI. However,if I go to Start » All Programs » National Instruments » NI-RFSA » Examples, I don't see any Labview examples for RFSA. But there is a folder on NI PXI 5660 under niRFSA which has Labview examples like "ni5660 Demodulate AM" and "ni5660 Demodulate FM". I guess I need to copy the RFSA examples in this system.
Also in Start » All Programs » National Instruments » NI-RFSG » Documentation, it says that the documents aren't there in this release.
For the questions
Thanks so much,

Eat Three Bananas a Day to Avoid Stroke
Bananas have a lot of benefits for human health. Besides its ability to lower blood pressure and recover stamina, potassium contained in bananas can also reduce the risk of stroke.
According to scientists from the University of Warwick, UK and University of Naples, Italy, banana effectively reduce the risk of stroke as long as people consume it three times a day. You can consume bananas during breakfast, lunch, and dinner. That amount is enough to lower about 21 percent chance of blood clot in the brain that causes stroke. (more…)

One of our SUPER-CUSTOMERS, Sarina of MyFashConfections, inspired this ensemble as purple & coral are her favorite two colors to color-block in the summer months. The Akiko Dress is from PlushAttire.com and was the perfect shade of purple to mix with coral accessories.
The purple hue is limited to the dress and to the heels, as it is a vibrant and powerful color, you do not want to overuse it. The heels contain small amounts of decorations which helps to break up the intensity of this hue. As the dress is solid color, it limits the amount of purple that you would want to use elsewhere.
The coral is perfect for offsetting the strength of the purple as it is a more refined and soft feel. Sprinkled throughout all the add-ons, the coral provides a much needed contradiction to the purple. This forms a color scheme that is both powerful & laid-back. It fits the nightlife or the casual, afternoon lunch.
The beaded bracelet and similar style earrings provide sophistication when mixed with the solid top-handle bag and beaded influenced ring. Topping it off with a sleek fedora-esque hat, gives it that extra emphasis so you can take charge of your day.

If Hollywood's rut du jour is the origin story as bid for franchise immortality, you can't say that Skyfall-- the 23rd "official" James Bond film in 50 years-- isn't on-trend. Skyfall, Daniel Craig's third Bond film, aims to flesh out the backstory of the spy, with the globe-trotting terrorist hunt this time literally revisiting the site of the childhood trauma that apparently pushed Bond to seek out that license to kill. Bopping from Shanghai to Macao, Bond gets up to the usual daring escapes and zipless nightcaps. The greatest gift director Sam Mendes-- working with cinematographer Roger Deakins-- brings to the material is staging and imagery that artfully amplify the film's ideas about the world in which all of this is happening. And there are ideas, despite the fetishism and improbability native to the franchise. Bond's world is undeniably modeled after a real one engaged in debates about transparency and obfuscation, in which established institutions find themselves crippled (and, perhaps worse, rendered foolish) by stateless entities who show their power through violent interruptions of both the physical and virtual worlds. A bureaucrat played by Ralph Fiennes, trying to drag MI6 kicking and screaming into the age of Anonymous, contends that the agency "can't keep working in the shadows--there are no shadows." It's a POV contested by the film's most visually stunning action scene, a relatively simple duel in a darkened Shanghai skyscraper, with Bond and the bad guy silhouetted against the neon lights and video billboards outside. The shadows might have changed shape and method of generation, but the conflicts seem as binary as ever.

GARLAND — As Garland nears its 106th birthday, the town has attempted to undergo a sort of rebirth in its most recent year through revitalization projects and economic development efforts — that now includes a revamped website.
Garland Mayor Winifred Murphy, in advertising the new page at www.townofgarlandnc.com, also reflected on 2012 and looked forward to 2013 in a recent State of the Town address posted on the page. The new site looks much like the previous one, with many of the same tabs, but where that site stood almost completely dormant for months at a time, there is now a great deal of Garland-related information contained in the page.
That includes a list of news and events, a community calendar, information on local businesses and attractions, a plethora of new meeting minutes (those from more recent meetings are still being compiled), contact numbers, announcements, helpful links and some history about the town, along with other items.
Visitors to the site are greeted with a welcome from the mayor, its status as a N.C. STEP (Small Towns Economic Prosperity) community and a message about the town's fast-approaching birthday. Garland was chartered as a town on Feb. 8, 1907.
Murphy said the goal of the new page is to inform.
"It is our goal to keep you informed about the town of Garland," Murphy said in her message. "We encourage you to visit this website frequently to stay connected with Garland. More importantly, we encourage you to become actively engaged in our community by attending board meetings, community meetings, serving on leadership projects, volunteering and providing your input to our elected officials."
Small-town friendliness and community spirit are found in Garland throughout the year, the mayor said, offering a reminder of the town's motto: "Greatness Grows in Garland." The mayor said it is hoped that visitors will find the site "useful, entertaining and informative." She urged feedback, suggestions and contributions so that everyone can be included and ideas can be utilized to improve the town.
"We are proud to call Garland home and invite others to visit us and consider making Garland (their) home," Murphy said.
State of the town
Contained in the site, along with new pictures, updated meeting minutes and an up-to-date calendar noting board meetings, N.C. STEP gatherings and town events, is a "State of the Town" message.
In the message, Murphy thanks everyone for the support given to the town, and urges continued support in the year to come.
"Together, we weathered many challenges. Together, we had many successes," she stated.
The "most significant accomplishment" of 2012 was receiving the N.C. STEP grant, Murphy said, the subsequent kick-off celebration for which brought thousands into the town. She said it was now up to the community to offer feedback toward planning for future growth and projects in Garland.
"At this time, town leaders and citizens are in the planning stage of establishing a vision and priority needs for the town," Murphy stated to Garland citizens. "Your input and participation are very much needed. You have the opportunity to make sure that your voice is heard as we all work together to make Garland a better place to live now and for generations to come."
Some positive change is already happening, as even though "The Corner Store" was closed at the beginning of 2012, the Han-Dee Hugo's/Subway is now open for business at the same location, Murphy said. The Christmas tree lighting and last month's Martin Luther King Jr. celebrations were "highlights that brought many people together in fellowship, love, and celebration."
"We plan more of these activities to further unite us and make Garland a wonderful place to live and visit," the mayor said.
During 2012, the town also saw its elected officials change. Murphy was elected as commissioner in 2011 and has served as the mayor for the past year following her appointment. "I love our town and we must all work together to make our town one in which we love to live, in which others want to visit, and in which businesses want to locate," she said.
The mayor reminded Garland residents that this year they will once again choose who will guide the town for the future. In the November 2013 election, the mayor's seat and three commissioner's seats will be vacant. Whether as an elected official or an engaged citizen, all residents' voices should be heard, she said.
"As elected officials we are charged with making decisions (popular or unpopular) based on many factors, based on the needs of our citizens, on research, on financial documentation, and based on local, state and federal laws," said Murphy. "Probably the most heart-wrenching decision that this board had to make was the increase in utility rates. And yet, we had no choice and must share this increase together. Please believe that this board is being fiscally responsible."
The board has decreased unnecessary expenditures, while trying to ensure there are enough operational funds to maintain the high cost of street maintenance, water and sewer operations, town utilities, services and personnel.
"Based on our financial audit report, our financial status has improved," said Murphy. "however, compared to other towns our size, we are still struggling financially."
In her address, Murphy stressed the need to collect 100 percent tax revenue, cut costs and generate revenue from sources other than through rates hikes in order to remain financial stability. Supporting the community must be a priority, she said.
"If we can work together to increase jobs, housing, (and) services for the young and the older, then we should be able to increase our population, increase our sales tax revenue, and have more people and revenue to share in our operational cost," said Murphy. "We must also continue to support all of our existing businesses by shopping locally."

Help a child, become a CASA volunteer
May 15, 2012 — Is there anything more important than a child? Human nature tells us to protect them at all costs, yet they are often mistreated. Nobody longs for a safe and loving family more than a child.
The goal of Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) for Children is to be a voice for abused and neglected children in foster care and ensure their needs do not go unheard.
If you've ever been curious about what it takes to become a CASA volunteer, you have a chance to get all your questions answered at a CASA volunteer informational meeting at 7 p.m. Thursday, May 17 at 1306 Riverside Dr., Susanville.
AmeriCorp representative and CASA recruiter and volunteer, Michelle Noonberg, says CASA volunteers are the eyes and ears for a child who might not otherwise be seen or heard.
She was just appointed as an advocate herself and said she is very much looking forward to meeting the child she will represent.
A CASA volunteer is empowered by the local courts to fight for and protect a foster child's fundamental right to be treated with dignity and respect.
Because many foster children move from one home to another, their advocate is often the one consistent adult in their life. Noonberg says that consistency can make all the difference for the child.
CASA volunteers represent the child until the case is closed, which is usually about 18 months, said Noonberg.
When the child is placed in a safe, permanent home, the advocate often stays in contact with the child because they have developed a close relationship.
Each year, more than 700,000 children experience foster care in the United States, and currently there is a serious shortage of advocates.
Independent research has demonstrated children with a CASA volunteer are substantially less likely to spend time in long-term foster care and less likely to reenter care.
Advocates not only bring positive change to the lives of vulnerable children, they also enrich their own lives as well.
"The ultimate goal of our local CASA is to reunite the children with their family," Noonberg said. "We provide total care for the child until that happens."
CASA volunteers are everyday citizens who have undergone screening and training in the local CASA program. Requirements are basic: you must care about children, have common sense, be 21 years or older, pass a background check and complete a 30-hour training course.
Judges appoint CASA volunteers to represent the best interests of children who have been removed from their homes due to abuse or neglect.
Once accepted into the program, advocates receive all necessary training in courtroom procedures, social services, the juvenile justice system and the special needs of abused and neglected children.
Volunteers are supported every step of the way.
They will have opportunities for continuing education and access to online resources provided by National CASA, including a resource library, national Facebook community and national conference.
According to Noonberg, advocates meet with the child twice a month for a couple of hours.
They get to know the child by talking with everyone in that child's life — parents and relatives, foster parents, teachers, medical professionals, attorneys, social workers and others.
They use the information they gather to inform judges and others of what the child needs. On average, volunteers can expect to spend approximately 10 hours a month on a case.
For more information about CASA and to RSVP for the informational meeting, contact Michelle or Tracy at 257-4599 or stop by 1306 Riverside Drive.

It's that time of year again when yellow buses are winding their way through Iowa's cities, towns and rural areas. It's also that time of year for Iowa's drivers to be extra cautious in watching students heading to and from the buses.
And this year, there is a bigger sting for those who don't follow Iowa's laws. Penalties have been increased for vehicles that pass a stopped school bus which has its flashers on and its stop arm extended.
Here are some reminders for drivers:
- When the bus's yellow flashers turn on, that signifies that it is preparing to have child get on or off the bus. All vehicles behind the bus must come to a complete stop.
- If you are approaching a bus from the opposite direction, slow your speed to 20 mph when the bus turns on its yellow flashers.
- On a two-lane road, traffic in both directions must come to a full stop when the lights are flashing red.
- On a four-lane road, traffic moving in the opposite direction must slow down and proceed with caution when either red or yellow flashers are present.
- Stop your vehicle at least 15 feet from the bus.
- Remain stopped until the flashing lights are turned off and the stop arm is pulled back in.
- Failure to comply could result in a fine of $250 plus court costs.
Here are reminders for students:
- Stop and look both ways before crossing a street.
- Make sure you're bus driver can see you when you are crossing in front of the bus. If you can see the driver, the driver cannot see you.
- Never cross behind the bus.
- When getting on or off the bus, never cross the street until the bus driver signals it's OK to cross.

Nucor Fastener has filed an appeal with the U.S. Court of International Trade, claiming the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) erred in ruling that the domestic fastener industry is not being injured by dumped and subsidized imports from China and Taiwan.
Alan Price, partner in the international trade practice of Washington law firm Wiley Rein LLP, called the decision "clearly erroneous."
Price, counsel to Nucor Fastener, was sharp in his criticism of the ITC ruling and minced no words in announcing the appeal and his client's intent to vigorously pursue the case.

I just ordered one of these in 9mm. I hope it works as advertised and is durable. I haven't rec'd it yet.
I can't get out to shoot much at this time of year, especially this year when we're buried in record amounts of white stuff. So, at least I can drill squirrels off the feeder outside my window or do some draw-and-shoot drills inside my home.
Anybody have one of these? Did I piss away $80 or was it money well spent?

Beginning at 5 a.m., Saturday, June 30, and continuing until 5 a.m., Monday, July 9, 2012, there essentially will be no scheduled lane closures on any Northwest Georgia interstate highway or primary state route.
"We hope this break in construction work will allow motorists to get to and from their holiday destinations with less congestion and less aggravation," said DeWayne Comer, district engineer at the DOT office in Cartersville. "We understand that a lot of people are hitting the road for the Independence Day holiday and we would like to make it a little easier for them to go through Northwest Georgia,"
The Department noted that some work may continue on lesser-traveled state and local system roads and that incident or emergency maintenance-related lane closures could become necessary on any route.

...one-legged man in a butt-kicking contest! This is super cool for playing around with open tunings and getting that cool Dobro-esque tone out of sliding. You can really dig in to the strings with your slide with no worries about fretting out. And when you're done playing slide, it takes about a minute to have a normal guitar again. Makes an awesome gift for your friends and family who like to play!
What can I add to Jake's concise review? 1. simple to use 2. doesn't damage the guitar 3. direct improvement on tone 4. makes slide playing so much easier"
I'm the guitarist of Dance On Fire, a The Doors tribute band from Mexico City. As you may know, Robby Krieger was one of the first guitarists to use slide on an electric guitar, songs such as Moonlight Drive, Wild Child, End Of The Night, etc. This little piece of metal did a great job, however it could do little damage to your fretboard's finish. Maybe it needs a little piece of rubber in the edges that make contact with wood, in order to prevent scratches.
1. simple to use 2. doesn't damage the guitar 3. direct improvment on tone 4.makes slide playing so much easier This bit of kit is now essential in my gig bag. Only down side I can see is that to put the guitar back into standard non slide mode after a song could be tough. cheers stew mac for a great piece of kit
No doubt, it is the best in the market. Very cool. It has one huge advantage over the other NUT in the market. The angled design does not put any pressure on the fretboard and sits nice on top of the existing nut. You need to compromise on one thing. On few open tunings where you have to go a whole step down on lower strings, the nut moves because of not enough tension to keep it in place. But for Open G,E or Dobro or C6 types, it works like a charm.
Easy to install, dirt simple and it works like a dream!
Cheap way to "expand" your guitar arsenal with breaking bank. Easy to do and easy to undo.
Beautiful in its simplicity. Works like a charm and is easy to install and to take off. Well done!
I got this because I wanted to see just how hard lap steel guitar would be to play. I bought 3 of them. I tried one on an acoustic, one on a tele and one on a strat. The extension nut worked as promised and I discovered that lap steel is not terribly difficult to play and I then decided to invest in a real lap steel guitar. My biggest problem was deciding whether to learn lap steel right-handed or left-handed as I am left handed. I decided to learn right-handed so I could play any lap steel and not spend my life looking for southpaw lap steels. After a month of practice it feels natural. Anyhow I would not recommend this product as a permanent lap steel setup because lap steels require heavy guage strings to get a good sound and putting heavy guage strings together with alternate tunings on a skinny strat or tele neck would likely do harm in the long run. But as a cheap way to test the lap steel waters you cannot go wrong.
Great product. Wish a 8-string Extension nut was made.

White paper: Becoming a Decision-centric Enterprise
Source: IBM
Organizations with systems that are centered on processes or functions often struggle to improve business productivity and find it hard to make changes in their systems quickly, despite a pressing need to do so. To succeed, these organizations need to move their thinking from processes and functions to decisions - they need to become decision-centric. Learn what it means to be a decision-centric enterprise, why it's so important and available platforms to support it.

MSc (Water Resources Engrg) Birmingham University 1978
BSc (Civil Engrg) University of London, Queen Mary Coll. 1977
NG WUN JERN interacts with the industry as an advisor in water and effluent treatment - and has brought R&D to full-scale applications. Commercialized IPs include biosystems [eg aerobic SBR, anaerobic SBR, anaerobic filter and hybrid anaerobic reactor] and equipment [eg recirculating aerator and electrochemical system]. His designs have been applied to some 120 full-scale installations. He had managed a "spin-off" company, was chairman on the board of directors at MWH (Montgomery, Watson & Harza) Consultants, is presently technical advisor on wastes to bio-energy to three companies operating in ASEAN, China and India, and had served on the national water reclamation expert panel. He is a registered professional engineer.
He teaches environmental engineering and science and has guided numerous postdoctoral fellows, and Masters and PhD candidates. He was a founding member of the Singapore Engineering Accreditation Board and contributed to Singapore's first Accreditation Manual for university engineering education.
He was Vice-Dean at the Faculty of Engineering, National University of Singapore and then Dean until 2003. In 2004 the Faculty was ranked 9th in a world ranking exercise conducted by Times London. From 2003 - 2004, he was founding Director of the Environmental Science & Engineering Program. In 2005 he was Singapore director of the Singapore-MIT Alliance serving the alliance universities - National University of Singapore, Nanyang Technological University, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology till 2006. Thereafter he was Director - Capability Development at the Environment & Water Industry Development Council, Ministry of the Environment & Water Resources working on national funding for R&D and manpower development. In 2007 he joined NTU and became founding Executive Director at the Nanyang Environment & Water Research Institute (NEWRI) which operates with five research centres and two groups covering education, research, development, and applications.
Research Interests
NG WUN JERN's research interests are largely in the area of water and wastewater management. The focus of his efforts has been on investigations into water quality, treatment science, and development of treatment technologies. These investigations span the water quality spectrum - ranging from ultra-pure water to high strength and potentially inhibitory wastewaters.
His research output may be found in some 400 publications. These include journal papers, conference presentations, book chapters and monographs, reports, and patents. His latest book publication is titled "Industrial Wastewater Treatment" (Imperial College Press). He is currently working with colleagues on a book on engineered wetlands in tropical applications and one on water reclamation.
Current R&D interests revolve around effluent treatment and include dehalogenation under bioreductive conditions. Of particular interest are the chloro-compounds and dehalogenation under acidic conditions with biomass sculptured into granules.
The interest in bioreductive (instead of bio-oxidative) processes stems from concern over energy costs and carbon footprints of treatment processes. Anaerobic processes are therefore of interest when used to manage strong wastewaters from industrial and agro-industrial sources. Current R&D interest focuses on thermophilic anaerobic processes and gas productivities and quality. Conceptually there is a shift from viewing the anaerobic process as a wastewater pretreatment device to one which is intended to recover energy from the wastewater.
Extending this interest is the work on biosorption where sorption is used to concentrate carbonaceous material from low strength wastewaters prior to anaerobic degradation of the sorbent with gas recovery. This approach deviates from the conventional approach of using anaerobic processes such as the UASB or anaerobic filter to address low strength wastewaters. Laboratory studies typically use the cyclic process configuration although larger scale studies can be with the cyclic or continuous flow configuration.
In aerobic treatment, there is interest in the MBR applied with granulated biomass. The interest is on biofouling mitigation using this modified biomass morphology. There is also interest in using the MBR and the concept of "back seeding" to achieve better nutrients removal and degradation of resistant organics (eg textile dyes).
