Home Reuse is the second priority on the national solid waste management hierarchy. Reuse means that you redistribute materials from one who no longer needs it to those who can still find use in the item(s). Reuse conserves valuable natural resources, reduces the amount of water and air pollution and green house gases, and is a means for getting materials to disadvantaged people and organizations. www.redo.org   (237 words)

3.2 Wastewater reuse However, more direct reuse is also possible: the technology to reclaim wastewaters as potable or process waters is a technically feasible option for agricultural and some industrial purposes (such as for cooling water or sanitary flushing), and a largely experimental option for the supply of domestic water. The primary concerns associated with the use of sewage effluents in reuse schemes are the presence of pathogenic bacteria and viruses, parasite eggs, worms, and helminths (all biological concerns) and of nitrates, phosphates, salts, and toxic chemicals, including heavy metals (all chemical concerns) in the water destined for reuse. Reuse of wastewater may be seasonal in nature, resulting in the overloading of treatment and disposal facilities during the rainy season; if the wet season is of long duration and/or high intensity, the seasonal discharge of raw wastewaters may occur. www.oas.org /usde/publications/Unit/oea59e/ch26.htm   (2574 words)

Types of Reuse in Information Technology Reuse is often described as not “reinventing the wheel” and the first step at succeeding at reuse is to understand that you have more than one option at your disposal. Framework reuse often locks you into the architecture of that framework, as well as the standards and guidelines used by the framework, but you can still take advantages of the other approaches to reuse in combination with framework reuse. It is important to note that although Figure 1 indicates that pattern reuse is generally more effective than artifact reuse you may discover that within your organization the opposite holds true. www.ambysoft.com /essays/typesOfReuse.html   (677 words)

Reuse - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This includes conventional reuse where the item is used a number of times for the same function, and new life reuse where a new use is found for the item. Reuse is not limited to repeated uses for the same purpose. Recycling differs from reuse in that it breaks down the item into raw materials which are then used to make new items, as opposed to reusing the intact item. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Reuse   (1859 words)

Reuse Alliance Reuse is the recovery and distribution of discarded, yet perfectly usable materials. Regardless of your business or need, reuse is a great way of lowering your costs either in purchase of materials or in their disposal, and of course, contributing to a cleaner environment and less wasteful society. Reuse Alliance (RA) is a non-profit organization of, and for, reuse enterprises in the NYC area metro area. www.reusealliance.net   (322 words)

REUSE   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13) Reuse is the bridge between waste prevention and recycling, and includes such diverse programs as materials exchanges, thrift stores, building deconstruction and food banks. Reuse is one of the core components of waste prevention, and serves as an established element of the economy in many communities. Reuse is the second step in the waste reduction hierarchy of reduce, reuse, recycle and plays an important role in programs to divert waste from California landfills, as required by state law. www.blackfoot.com /~lcitrino/reuse.htm   (1146 words)

Strategic Reuse Management and the Rational Unified Process (RUP)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13) I suspect this is because reuse is a cross-system issue whereas the RUP focuses on the development of a single system. Strategic reuse management is a complex endeavor, one that spans all of the projects within your organization. A fundamental concept in reuse management is that there are a wide variety of things that you can reuse on a software project, and that different types of reuse offer varying levels of value to your overall effort. www.flashline.com /Content/Ambler/reuseRUP.jsp   (1284 words)

Benefits  Reuse Reuse is recognized as being distinct from recycling, both in doctrine, and in the handling of the materials this unique industry diverts from the waste stream. Reuse is a means to prevent solid waste from entering the landfill, improve our communities, and increase the material, educational and occupational wellbeing of our citizens by taking useful products discarded by those who no longer want them and providing them to those who do. Reusing an item means that it continues to be a valuable, useful, productive item, and replaces new items that would utilize more water, energy, timber, petroleum, and other limited natural resources in their manufacture. www.redo.org /Benefits_of_Reuse/body_benefits_of_reuse.html   (1220 words)

Municipal Solid Waste - Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle Reuse containers and products; repair what is broken or give it to someone who can repair it. Reusing items -- by repairing them, donating them to charity and community groups, or selling them -- also reduces waste. Reusing products, when possible, is even better than recycling because the item does not need to be reprocessed before it can be used again. www.epa.gov /msw/reduce.htm   (715 words)

reUSE Project eContent - reuse-eu-project It can be stated that the reUSE team is in a good progress and stands in a high position compared to its foreseen aims. The reUSE project is dedicated to extend the service portfolio of libraries by collecting and managing printed publications together with their digital origins. reUSE is a cooperative project of libraries and universities from Austria, Estonia, Germany and Slovenia funded through the European Commission eContent Programme. www.uibk.ac.at /reuse   (675 words)

Software Reuse Obtaining management support for reuse as early as possible in the reuse program and obtaining the support of all levels of management for reuse is more important than with other technologies because reuse changes the culture and value system. This approach establishes reuse among related families of systems, exploits the commonality of the systems and families, and maximizes the reusability of assets developed for reuse and the benefits of reuse. Unless reuse is mandated by upper management, middle management may kill a reuse program by neglecting to supply the necessary startup resources or by making reuse a low-priority action item for their already-too-busy staff. sern.ucalgary.ca /courses/seng/693/W98/pand/reuse_lv.html   (4752 words)

SOFTWARE REUSE TERM PAPER Software reuse is the process of implementing or updating software systems using existing software assets.[1] Although your first gut reaction may lead you to believe that a "software asset" is simply another term for source code, this is not the case. In short, the development of a reuse process and repository produces a base of knowledge that improves in quality after every reuse, minimizing the amount of development work required for future projects, and ultimately reducing the risk of new projects that are based on repository knowledge. Developing modules with the rigorous standards required for reuse takes about twice as long as one-time system modules, and that extra effort should be supported by management through rewards and recognition.[1] Staff members will quickly see benefits to software reuse, and reuse will become more popular throughout the organization. www.baz.com /kjordan/swse625/htm/tp-kj.htm   (3113 words)

ReUse Industries ReUse Industries is a community non-profit and tax-exempt organization that saves reusables from the landfill to support a sustainable economy, protect our environment, and create jobs. ReUse Industries receives donations from organizations and individuals in bulk quantities as well as small quantities. Items donated to ReUse Industries are cleaned, stored, repaired, and sold in small and large quantities to businesses, agencies, and the public for reuse. www.reuseindustries.org   (143 words)

Reuse is vastly overrated (Loud Thinking)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13) Reuse only works well when the particular instances are so similar that you're willing to trade the small differences for the increased productivity. I agree with David because I’ve seen so many counter-efficient examples of reuse in applications, done by programmers twisting and tweaking their code to make reuse possible in the first place, and endlessly after to keep all the dependant code working when changes have to be made. How about "(ill-conceived) reuse is overrated" or "reuse as a form of procrastination is overrated" or "reuse that DHH doesn't specific approve of is overrated". www.loudthinking.com /arc/000557.html   (5078 words)

EPA: Construction and Demolition (C&D) Debris - Reducing C&D Debris - Reuse Materials (such as used lumber and bricks) and other items (such as doors and windows) are salvaged mostly from remodeling projects, pre-demolition salvage, and the growing practice of deconstruction—the selective disassembly of buildings to reuse and recycle parts. Developed by New York Wa$teMatch, this downloadable calculator measures the environmental benefits of reusing building materials in terms of ten avoided negative environmental impacts (global warming, acidification, eutrophication, fossil fuel depletion, water intake, criteria air pollutants, ecological toxicity, human health, ozone depletion, smog). Reduce, reuse, recycle, and rebuy CandD debris materials and find resources by debris type. www.epa.gov /epaoswer/non-hw/debris-new/reuse.htm   (633 words)

Waste Management of Orange County - Reuse Reuse can mean purchasing non-disposable items or it can mean passing an item along to another person for continued use. So, rather than using paper towels to clean the house, you use a washable rag; and, instead of throwing out the clothes or toys your children have outgrown, you pass them along to a neighbor, charity or church. One organization that is built on the concept of reuse is Freecycle. www.wmorangecounty.com /env/reuse.asp   (529 words)

Evolution of Framework Candidates through Reuse and Refactoring   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13) Therefore, this new piece of software can not be considered as reusable, since it has never been reused, and even if there is enough evidence to show that it has the potential to be reusable (because it results from a new implementation of a framework, based on its documentation). Nevertheless, the reuse project was not straightforward and several problems had to be resolved. One of the key ideas that led to a rapid and successful reuse of Dyctalk in Mobidyc was the observation that Mobidyc primitives were a combination of two Dyctalk abstractions. www-poleia.lip6.fr /~razavi/ICSR7   (4165 words)

Reusability - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Subroutines or functions are the simplest form of reuse. The ability to reuse relies in an essential way on the ability to build larger things from smaller parts, and being able to identify commonalities among those parts. If these issues are not considered, software may appear to be reusable from design point of view, but will not be reused in practice. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Reusability   (298 words)

Enterprise Architecture: The Holistic View: Reuse Versus Performance in SOA   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13) Arriving at the proper balance of performance and reuse for an SOA application is a critical part of its design when using this type of technology. If reuse is your highest priority for moving to SOA, then your data model should be loosely coupled along with your service architecture. The concept of reuse versus performance also needs to be addressed when SOA is used for integration purposes. www.dmreview.com /article_sub.cfm?articleID=1037865   (996 words)

XML for Data: Reuse it or lose it One of the great features of XML is that you can easily reuse your designs all the way down to the component level. In this column, I take a look at some of the historical approaches to reusing serialized data, and then show how XML allows you to break from tradition and take a more flexible approach to your document designs. In other words, you can take an element that you know is reused somewhere else and copy it without worrying about the contents of that element. www-106.ibm.com /developerworks/xml/library/x-xdreuse   (1586 words)

NJDEP-DWQ-Effluent Reuse Program Over the past few years, the Division of Water Quality Reclaimed Water for Beneficial Reuse Task Force has been working to promote and implement the beneficial reuse of wastewater from domestic and industrial wastewater dischargers. As a result of the recent drought, approximately 75 wastewater treatment facilities sought and received approval for beneficially reusing their effluent for a variety of uses. Currently 24 NJPDES permits (DSW or DGW) provide authorization for reusing their treated effluents in a variety of beneficial reuse applications. www.state.nj.us /dep/dwq/reuseff.htm   (265 words)

CollabNet - Solutions - Reuse Properly run reuse programs are valuable assets to an enterprise; however, creating a truly successful reuse program is not that easy. Many companies have invested in reuse but are not realizing the expected level of return. In order to effectively reuse components or contribute reusable components developers need an environment that easily enables and reinforces reuse. www.collab.net /solutions/reuse.html   (201 words)

reuse concept from the Object Oriented Software Engineering knowledge base   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13) Since there is nothing to reuse, software developers take so much time to develop applications that they lack time to invest in reusable frameworks or libraries Efforts at creating reusable software are often done in a hurry and without enough attention to quality. People thus lose confidence in the resulting components, and in the concepts of reuse and reusability www.site.uottawa.ca:4321 /oose/reuse.html   (267 words)

R.S. Pressman & Associates, Inc. As analysis and design models are created, the project team should evaluate data and functional components (or OO classes) to determine whether an existing component is available. Although reusable components are assumed to be validated prior to entry into the library, local validation within the context of the project scope should be planned and executed for each component. The Reuse Status Report indicates components that have been reused from the library and reusable components produced by the project team. www.rspa.com /apm/umtask06.html   (575 words)

Reuse Metrics Calculator To find your level of reuse and estimate the benefits to your organization, simply enter the amount of your new and modified software, the amount of software you reused, and the amount of software you wrote for others to reuse. By reusing software, an organization avoids a cost proportional to the cost of having to develop that software new. The portion of a program coming from reused software, generally expressed as a percent of the total source lines for the program. home.stny.rr.com /jeffreypoulin/html/reucalc_basic.html   (1090 words)
