Influences on the water testing behaviors of private well owners.
Many private wells in the United States and Canada already are contaminated, or are at risk of contamination.

This study explored the factors and causal relationships that influence well owner water quality testing behavior. In-depth,...
متن کاملWell, well, well water.
Although the multiplication of bacteriophages (phages) has a substantial impact on the biosphere, comparatively little is known about how the external environment affects phage production. Here we report that sub-lethal concentrations of certain antibiotics can substantially stimulate the host bacterial cell’s production of some virulent phage. For example, a low dosage of cefotaxime, a cephalo...

متن کاملGeneric Description of Well-Scoped, Well-Typed Syntaxes
We adapt the technique of type-generic programming via descriptions pointing into a universe to the domain of typed languages with binders and variables, implementing a notion of syntax-generic programming in a dependently typed programming language. We present an Agda library implementation of type-preserving renaming and substitution (including proofs about their behaviour) “once and for all”...

Among U.S. states, North Carolina (N.C.) has the second-largest population relying on private wells, making it a useful microcosm to study challenges to maintaining private-...
