Abstract: AbstractUnusually hot weather is a major concern to public health as well as other systems (e.g., ecological, economical, energy). This study utilized spatially continuous and homogenized observational surface climate data ...

Abstract: A transient-state model was developed to simulate simultaneous Cr(VI) reduction and phenol degradation by a coculture of Cr(VI)-reducing/phenol-degrading bacteria growing on glass bead surfaces in a fixed-film bioreactor. ...

Abstract: xtreme heat events (EHEs) are linked to mortality rates, making them an important research subject in both the climate and public health fields. This study evaluated linear trends in EHEs using the U.S. Historical Climatology ...

Abstract: The prevalence of fatigue cracking in steel bridge girders due to out-of-plane web distortion motivates development of procedures to evaluate the effects of distortional fatigue. In a previous study sponsored by the Minnesota ...

Abstract: The potential for Cr(VI) reduction in a bench-scale, fixed-film bioreactor system was investigated using a Cr(VI) reducing bacterial species,

Abstract: The purpose of this research was to identify strategies used and lessons learned by western U.S. commercial construction companies during the great recession (2007–2009). The experience gained by companies who weather an ...

Abstract: A continuous-flow coculture bioreactor with a phenol-degrading organism,

Abstract: ew global satellite data from the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) are applied to study the tropospheric relative humidity (RH) distribution and its influence on outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) for January and July ...

Abstract: Thin films of oil flowing down a nearly-vertical plate were subjected to a strong normal electrostatic field. Steady-state height profiles were measured by fluorescence imaging. For electrode ...
