Overview As part of the MEDSAL project, Mersin University in Turkey installed continuous monitoring equipment to gather data on parameters critical to groundwater salinization research. Challenge In 2019, PRIMA (Partnership for Research and Innovation in the Mediterranean Area) and the European Commission founded the MEDSAL project, bringing together eight academic partners from seven countries: ...
Seqwater is one of Australia's largest water businesses, with one of the most geographically spread and diverse asset bases. This includes 37 water treatment plants (WTPs), more than 600 km of bulk water supply pipeline, and the Gold Coast Desalination Plant (GCDP) constructed as part of the South East Queensland Millennium Drought response. The production of desalinated water has a greater ...
The London Bridge development used a significant amount of EPS to support the new track and platform extensions and to minimise the risk of diesel fuel spills contaminating the EPS, the design required a hydrocarbon barrier membrane to encapsulate the expanded polystyrene blocks. ...
We propose the risk of logic and probabilistic management technologies of social and economic systems for informational and analytical support of leaders and of managers to make decisions. We describe components of risk management technologies. We give an example of risk logic and probabilistic (LP) model of successful development of Russia. We state methods of quantitative LP–analysis and ...
Water availability is among the most important elements of thermoelectric power plant site selection and evaluation criteria. With increased variability and changes in hydrologic statistical stationarity, one concern is the increased occurrence of extreme drought events that may be attributable to climatic changes. As hydrological systems are altered, operators of thermoelectric power plants need ...
The resilience of the crude oil pipeline network was analysed using the model-based risk analysis (MBRA) software tool developed by the Naval Post Graduate School Center for Homeland Defense and Security. ...
The Relative Risk Model (RRM) is a tool used to calculate and assess the likelihood of effects to endpoints when multiple stressors occur in complex ecological systems. In this study, a Bayesian network was used to calculate relative risk and estimate uncertainty (BN‐RRM) in the Puyallup River Watershed. First, we calculated the risk of prespawn mortality of coho salmon. Second, we evaluated ...
Low-dose irradiation of mammalian tissues causes damage and protection, the ratio of which increasingly advances damage as doses increase. Below about 100 mSv, there is no observation of increased cancer incidence in exposed human populations. These data contradict the linear-no-threshold (LNT) dose-risk model. A biological system approach formalises the body to be organised in hierarchical ...
Received for publication May 5, 2008. A geo-referenced modeling system was developed in this study to investigate the spatiotemporal variability of pesticide distributions and associated ecosystem risks. In the modeling system, pesticide fate and transport processes in soil-canopy system were simulated at field scale by the pesticide root zone model (PRZM). Edge-of-field mass fluxes were ...
Due to the increasing demand in services' quality and the growing concerns about external threats, the protection of critical infrastructures has recently become a major concern. In this article, we study the potential effect of interdependencies that may occur between two of these infrastructures: the telecommunication networks and the electrical network. In the absence of side protection ...
Untitled Document Following the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City on September 11, 2001, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and other federal agencies conducted extensive assessments of the air quality and associated environmental and health effects near the so-called “Ground Zero” site. EPA’s activities ...
