Toxicity and Transcriptome Sequencing (RNA-seq) Analyses of Adult Zebrafish in Response to Exposure to Stabilized FeS and Fe3O4 Nanoparticles
(2017-11-14)
Iron-based nanoparticles (NPs) have been widely studied for potential applications in many fields, particularly in environmental remediation and biomedical areas. For example, iron sulfide (FeS) nanoparticles, have been ...
Evaluating Sediment Removal Efficiency of Catch Basin Inserts (CBIS) as a Post-Construction Water Quality Tool For Ohio Roadways
(2018-07-18)
Urban areas produce large amounts of stormwater runoff due to the land being covered with impervious materials such as concrete and asphalt. Stormwater inlets, or catch basins, are a commonly used method for collecting ...
Monitoring and Evaluation of Alabama’s First Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil-Integrated Bridge System
(2018-10-31)
Geosynthetic reinforced soil-integrated bridge systems (GRS-IBS) use closely spaced layers of geosynthetic reinforcement and compacted granular backfill to directly support the bridge deck and blend the abutment and roadway ...
The Effects of Blast Loading on the Interface of Concrete Masonry Units and Mortar
(2019-04-18)
Masonry has always been a very efficient building material because of its low cost, availability, versatility, and construction simplicity. In terms of blast protection, masonry presents an enormous challenge: when ...
Understanding of Road-Bioretention Strip Design and Improvement from Hydraulic Perspective
(2019-06-17)
This study is to understand and quantify the hydraulic and hydrological performance of road bioretention facilities as well as the basic problems in urban drainage and road bioretention design. An open-source two-dimensional ...
Removal or Immobilization of Radionuclides and Trace-metals in Water, Soil and Poultry Litter Using Stabilized Nanoparticles
(2015-07-29)
