RISModeling Fluoroquinolone Resistance in Polluted Aquatic Environment of a River
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Excess use of antibiotics has led to antibiotic pollution in the environment, and now polluted sites have become hotspots for evolution and spread of antibiotic resistance in environmental bacteria. Subinhibitory concentration ...
Occurrence of High Levels of Fluoroquinolones in Aquatic Environment due to Effluent Discharges from Bulk Drug Manufacturers
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Risk-Assessment Method to Forecast Health Hazards Correlated with Distribution of NDM-1 Gene in Waterbodies Surrounding Hyderabad, India
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The development of pathogenic bacteria encompassing antibiotics-resistant genes (ARGs) is a severe environmental concern related to human health. Among all antibiotics administered to humans, the β-lactam group’s antibiotics ...
Fuzzy-Based Regional Water Quality Index for Surface Water Quality Assessment
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Evaluation of the water quality index is highly complex and needs competent models to assess at global and regional scales. A fuzzy-based inference system (FIS) provides an effective tool for solving this type of complex ...
Effects of Randomness on Band Gap Formation in Models of Fiber-Reinforced Composite Panels Having Quasirandom Fiber Arrangements
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Large-scale deterministic simulations are performed in order to observe the band gap formation in composite models having quasirandom fiber arrangements. Unidirectional fiber-reinforced composite ...
Internal Structure Characterization of Asphalt Concrete Using Image Analysis
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The performance of asphalt concrete (AC) mixtures is influenced by the arrangement of aggregates and their associated air voids. Parameters to measure aggregate orientation, aggregate gradation, and air void distribution ...
Design of a Passive Biobarrier System for Chromium Containment in Confined Aquifers
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Trench-type biobarrier is one of the commonly used in situ systems for bioremediation of contaminated aquifers. Design variables for such a system are the length of the biobarrier,
Standard Rating Charts for Low Global Warming Potential Refrigerants Flowing Through Adiabatic Helical Capillary Tube
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The present research work is undertaken to develop ASHRAE like standard rating charts for currently used refrigerants R-134a and R-410A and their potential low global warming potential (GWP) substitutes R-1234yf and R-32, ...
Characterization of Air Void Distribution in Asphalt Mixes using X-ray Computed Tomography
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study describes experimental and analytical methods to quantify the structure of air voids in asphalt mixes. An x-ray computed tomography system along with image analysis techniques were used to measure air void sizes ...
Blockage Detection in Gas Pipelines to Prevent Failure of Transmission Line
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Gas pipelines are an integral part of each stage across several industries, including steel, oil, chemical, and pharmaceutics. Deposit of sediments causes blockages in pipelines, which leads to abrupt failure and functional ...
