Biodegradation in the Vadose Zone

Iranian Journal of Pediatrics after 20 Years

Years Iranian Journal of Pediatrics (Iran J Pediatr) is the first medical journal published in Iran focusing on one specific field. From the first English issue, Iran J Pediatr was indexed in ISI, while it was being indexed in other international databases too. Impact factor of scientific journals is calculated and reported by the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI), annually. Journal im...

Hanford Site Vadose Zone Studies: An Overview

899 The Hanford Site is 1517 km2 (586 mi2) in size, located in a sparsely populated area in the rain shadow of the Cascade Mountains, adjacent to the Columbia River in southeastern Washington State (Fig. 1). The Hanford Site was set aside in the early 1940s by the U.S. Government to perform a top-secret mission, the Manhattan Project, for production of plutonium for atomic weapons used to end W...

Introduction to the Special Section in Vadose Zone Journal : Parameter Identification and Uncertainty Assessment in the Unsaturated Zone

DURING the last few decades hydrologists have made significant progress toward applying physically based simulation models for the analysis and understanding of field-scale flow and transport phenomena in the vadose zone. This progress has been enabled in part by the development of advanced parameter estimation and uncertainty assessment methods such as statistically based pedotransfer function...

A natural obstacle to this practice is the accelerated aging of iron and loss of reactivity resulting from O2 Permeable zerovalent iron (Fe0 ) barriers have become an estabin the soil atmosphere. Despite this apparent limitation, lished technology for remediating contaminated ground water. This same technology may be applicable for treating pesticides amenable situations could arise wher...
