There is considerable interest in identifying national contributions to global warming as a way of allocating historical responsibility for observed climate change. This task made difficult by uncertainty associated with estimates emissions, well difficulty estimating the response emissions gases widely varying atmospheric lifetimes. Here, we present new estimate warming, including CO2 from fossil fuels and land-use change, methane, nitrous oxide sulfate aerosol While some countries' are...
xclim is a Python library that enables computation of climate indicators over large, heterogeneous data sets.It built using xarray objects and operations, can seamlessly benefit from the parallelization handling provided by dask, relies on community conventions for formatting metadata attributes.xclim meant as tool to facilitate both science research delivery operational services products.In addition indicator calculations, also includes utilities bias correction statistical adjustment,...
Abstract ESPO-G6-R2 v1.0 is a set of statistically downscaled and bias-adjusted climate simulations based on the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project 6 (CMIP6) models. The dataset composed daily timeseries three variables: maximum temperature, minimum temperature precipitation. Data are available from 1950 to 2100 over North America. simulation ensemble comprised 14 models driven by two emissions scenarios (SSP2-4.5 SSP3-7.0). In this paper, we describe workflow used for bias-adjustment,...
We compare the 2018 per capita Black–White wealth gap of about US$352,250 with portions estimated total cost slavery and discrimination to African American descendants enslaved. For period in United States, we arrive at estimates US$12 US$13 trillion dollars using Darity’s land-based Marketti’s price-based estimation methods, respectively. Estimates Craemer’s wage-based method tend be higher ranging from US$18.6 3% interest US$6.2 quadrillion 6% interest. The value lost freedom (LF) based on...
In this study, the cohort consisted of 18,135 distribution employees with potential exposure to gasoline for at least one year land-based terminals (n = 9,026) or on marine vessels 9,109) between 1946 and 1985. The primary objective study was determine relationship, if any, mortality from kidney cancer leukemia. addition, other causes death secondary interest included multiple myeloma heart diseases. observed through June 30, 1989. results indicated that there no increased either leukemia...
A large study of combustion particle exposures for drivers diesel-powered trucks was conducted in collaboration with an epidemiologic lung cancer outcomes workers the trucking industry. Three components diesel exhaust particles (PM 2.5 , elemental carbon, and organic carbon) were measured inside driver cabs from 36 different terminals across United States between 2001 2005. In-cab assigned to both short long distance trips observed, as well information on smoking status driver, truck...
A pilot study of the mortality railway workers was undertaken to evaluate feasibility studying association exposure diesel exhaust and cause specific mortality. The cohort consisted 2519 white male subjects aged 45-64 with at least 10 years service by 1967. Subjects were selected on basis job classification, ascertained for who died (n = 501) up 1979. total follow period 28.4 (X 1000) person-years. standardised ratio (SMR) cohort, based United States national rates, 87 (95% confidence limits...
The study investigated the utility of unmetabolised naphthalene (Nap) and phenanthrene (Phe) in urine as surrogates for exposures to mixtures polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs).The report included workers exposed diesel exhausts (low PAH exposure level, n = 39) well those emissions from asphalt (medium 26) coke ovens (high 28). Levels Nap Phe were measured each subject using head space-solid phase microextraction gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Published levels airborne Nap, other...
Multi-tiered sampling approaches are common in environmental and occupational exposure assessment, where exposures for a given individual often modeled based on simultaneous measurements taken at multiple indoor outdoor sites. The monitoring data from such studies is hierarchical by design, imposing complex covariance structure that must be accounted order to obtain unbiased estimates of exposure. Statistical methods as structural equation modeling (SEM) represent useful alternative simple...
This paper presents the PAVICS-Hydro platform, result of long-term strategic considerations and compromises between functionality ease-of-use, which is developed to provide users with direct access a comprehensive hydroclimatic modeling analysis framework over North America. includes Python hydrological modelling package, efficient meteorological data, large array post-processed numerical weather forecasts bias-corrected CMIP6 climate projections at scale 5797 catchments, thus providing...
Combined sewer overflow (CSO) is a significant environmental concern and public health risk (e.g., water contamination, eutrophication, beach closure). The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has introduced the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitting program to regulate address this matter. This mandates control of CSOs for more than 700 municipalities obligated devise Long-term Control Plans (LTCPs) curb combined overflows reduce them safe levels. LTCP involves...
Abstract Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and geospatial data are important advocacy tools adopted by a range of users, including telecommunications policy advocates. However, without the means to actively deconstruct reshape such platforms, reclaim they utilize, generate visualizations produce, increasing adoption these resources threatens disempower some community-based user groups. In this article, we argue that processes used design for must transparently reflect socially constructed...

Abstract. Recent advances in modelling capabilities and data processing combined with vastly improved observation tools networks have resulted the expansion of available weather climate information, from historical observations to seasonal forecasts, as well decadal predictions multi-decadal change projections. However, it remains a key challenge ensure this information reaches intended climate-sensitive sectors (e.g. water, energy, agriculture, health), is fit-for-purpose guarantee...
BACKGROUND: Safety in cardiac surgical procedures is predicated on effective team dynamics. This study associated operative familiarity (ie, the extent of clinical collaboration among members) with procedural efficiency and Society Thoracic Surgeons (STS) adjudicated patient outcomes. METHODS: Institutional STS adult surgery registry electronic health record data from 2014 to 2021 were evaluated across 3 quaternary hospitals. Team was defined as mean number operations performed by...
