Alcohol and drug use can have negative consequences on the health, economy, productivity, social aspects of communities. We aimed to data from Global Burden Diseases, Injuries, Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2016 calculate global regional estimates prevalence alcohol, amphetamine, cannabis, cocaine, opioid dependence, estimate disease burden attributable alcohol between 1990 2016, for 195 countries territories within 21 regions, seven super-regions. also examine association Socio-demographic Index...
The hyporheic zone (HZ) is the active ecotone between surface stream and groundwater, where exchanges of nutrients organic carbon have been shown to stimulate microbial activity transformations nitrogen. To examine relationship sediment texture, biogeochemistry, biological in Columbia River HZ, grain size distributions for samples were characterized define geological facies, relationships among physical properties physicochemical attributes local environment, structure associated communities...
Chemotherapy improves outcomes for high risk early breast cancer (EBC) patients but is infrequently offered to older individuals. This study determined if there are fit with high-risk disease who may benefit from chemotherapy.A multicentre, prospective, observational was performed determine chemotherapy (±trastuzumab) usage and survival quality-of-life in EBC aged ≥70 years. Propensity score-matching adjusted variation baseline age, fitness tumour stage.Three thousands four hundred sixteen...
[1] Subsurface aquifer characterization often involves high parameter dimensionality and requires tremendous computational resources if employing a full Bayesian approach. Ensemble-based data assimilation techniques, including filtering smoothing, are computationally efficient alternatives. Despite the increasing use of ensemble-based methods in assimilating flow transport related for subsurface characterization, most applications have been limited to synthetic studies or two-dimensional...
Abstract A well‐field within a uranium (U) plume in the groundwater‐surface water transition zone was monitored for 3 year period table elevation and dissolved solutes. The discharges to Columbia River, which displays dramatic spring stage surge resulting from snowmelt. Groundwater exhibits low hydrologic gradient chemical differences with river water. River intrudes site spring. Specific aims were assess impacts of intrusion on (U aq ), specific conductance (SpC), other solutes,...
Abstract Physical properties of sediments are commonly used to define subsurface lithofacies and these same physical influence microbial communities. This suggests an (unexploited) opportunity use the spatial distribution facies predict variation in biogeochemically relevant attributes. Here, we characterize three biogeochemical facies—oxidized, reduced transition—within one elucidate relationships among features community biomass, richness composition. Consistent with previous observations...
The study demonstrates the use of ground‐penetrating radar (GPR) tomographic data for estimating sediment geochemical parameters using collected at Department Energy South Oyster bacterial transport site in Virginia. By exploiting site‐specific mutual dependence GPR attenuation and extractable Fe(II) Fe(III) concentrations on lithofacies, we develop a statistical model which lithofacies each pixel between boreholes are considered as random variables. unknown variables estimated by...
Abstract A well‐characterized field site along a major, gravel bed river corridor was used to investigate the dynamic pathways and impacts of subsurface hydrogeologic structure on kilometer‐scale hydrologic exchange flows between water groundwater. An aqueous uranium (U aq ) plume exists within hyporheic alluvial aquifer at that discharges Columbia River. We performed temporally intensive monitoring specific conductance (SpC) U concentrations for 2‐year period varying distances from...
We have examined the effects of sediment grain size and depth on abundance activity aerobic bacteria at two coastal plain sites in Virginia. Samples were collected centimeter intervals as well meter because fine‐scale sampling can be essential to assess microbial variability. At Oyster site, varied from 0.12 0.25 mm below 1.5 m did not correlate with either bacterial or activity. Perhaps due fairly uniform this variations numbers less than fivefold between replicate samples 0,1 100 g...
The relationships among sedimentological, geochemical, and microbiological parameters in the vadose zone of a barrier sediment from eastern shore Virginia were examined. Pairs samples taken 10 cm apart vertical direction 2 horizontal along three transects with one sample each depth being processed aerobically other anaerobically. Little variation was observed sedimentological tested. all fine-to-coarse sand, grain sizes ranged 0.19-1.16 mm. Sediment moisture low for samples, but increased...
Human behavioral responses to potential hazards are mediated by the beliefs held about those hazards. This holds whether "behavior" under consideration is provision of advice hazard, statements support for policies that address or personal behaviors in response hazard. paper focuses on radiation and implications views protection both scientists members U.S. public.
