Abstract In this study, we explore the use of unsteady transit time distribution (TTD) theory to model solute transport in biofilters, a popular form nature‐based or “green” storm water infrastructure (GSI). TTD has potential address many unresolved challenges associated with predicting pollutant fate and through these systems, including unsteadiness balance (time‐varying inflows, outflows, storage), loading, time‐dependent reactions, scale‐up GSI networks urban catchments. From solution age...
In urban areas, untreated stormwater runoff can pollute downstream surface waters. To intercept and treat runoff, low-impact or "green infrastructure" approaches such as using biofilters are adopted. Yet, actual biofilter pollutant removal is poorly understood; often studied in laboratory columns, with variable of viable culturable microbial cell numbers including pathogens. Here, to assess bacterial full-scale planted biofilters, was applied, unspiked spiked sewage, simulated storm events...
The dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in the environment contributes to global rise resistant infections. Therefore, it is importance further research exposure pathways these emerging contaminants humans. This study explores commercially available garden products containing animal manure as a source ARGs survey 34 products, 3 recently landscaped soils, and 5 native soils. DNA was extracted from soils quantified for ARGs, intI1, 16S rRNA. found that both absolute relative...
Nitrogen (N) in urban runoff is often treated with green infrastructure including biofilters. However, N fates across biofilters are insufficiently understood because prior studies emphasize low loading under laboratory conditions, or use “steady-state” flow regimes over short time scales. Here, we tested field scale biofilter during simulated storms delivering realistic transient flows high loading. Biofilter outflow ammonium (NH4+-N) was 60.7 to 92.3% lower than that of the inflow. Yet...
Computational skills are advantageous for teaching students to investigate environmental change using satellite remote sensing. This focus is especially relevant given the disproportionate underrepresentation of minorities and women in STEM fields. study quantified effects both a non-STEM class Earth science sensing modules Google Engine on students’ self-efficacy coding, understanding sensing, interest career research. Additionally, engaged course-based undergraduate research experience...
Urban land use and water reclamation plants (WRPs) can impact fecal indicator bacteria (FIB) antibiotic resistance in coastal watersheds. However, there is a lack of studies exploring these effects on the US West Coast. Additionally, limited research comparing different methods (culture-, qPCR, metagenomics-based approaches) for measuring environmental resistance. In this study, sixteen locations were sampled Los Angeles River, encompassing both upstream downstream three WRPs discharging...
Urban land use and water reclamation plants (WRPs) can impact fecal indicator bacteria (FIB) antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in coastal watersheds. However, there is a lack of studies exploring these effects on the US West Coast. Additionally, limited research using complementary approach across culture-, qPCR-, metagenomics-based techniques for characterizing environmental AMR. In this study, sixteen locations were sampled Los Angeles River, encompassing both upstream downstream three WRPs...
This study was conducted during 2009–2010 to observe the concentration variations of metallic elements (Ni, Zn, Cu, and Pb) in soil samples collected from five characteristic sites central Taiwan (industrial, science park, urban, wetlands, rural areas). The were first digested with hydrochloric nitric acids, then analyzed through inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES), using a Perkin Elmer Optima 2100 Plasma Emission Spectrometer. results showed that highest...
Abstract This paper uses an option-based model to examine the relationships among capital regulation, bank risk, and optimal international lending determination. An increase in capital-to-deposits ratio decreases bank’s domestic increases foreign when realizes a relatively less risky state of world. risk-taking incentive its more state. Our findings provide alternative explanations concerning effect regulation on diversification focus. Keywords: International lendingbank risk
