Napatree Point, an isolated barrier in southern Rhode Island, provides a case study of spit migration via storm driven overwash and washover fan migration. Documented shoreline changes using historical surveys vertical aerial photographs show that the had little way net change position between 1883 1939, including impact 1938 hurricane. The retreated rapidly 1945 1975, by both tropical extra-tr...

Beach width, dune height, and vegetation coverage are key parameters to assess beach resistance resilience storms. However, coastal development often causes ecosystem degradation due poor management. We propose a Coastal Resilience Index from Remote Sensors (CRIfRS) for urbanized coasts based on aerial photogrammetry. The study area, located along 7.8 km stretch of coast barrier island, is char...

Existing barrier island facies models are largely based on modern observations. This approach highlights the heterogeneous and dynamic nature of systems, but it overlooks processes tied to geologic time scales, such as multi-directional motion, erosion, reworking, their expressions preserved strata. Accordingly, this study uses characteristic outcrop from paralic strata Upper Cretaceous Straigh...

RATIONALE Recent studies have shown that the incidence of bloodstream infections (BSIs) associated with arterial catheters (ACs) is comparable to that of central venous catheters (CVCs). In 2011, the CDC published guidelines recommending the use of limited barrier precautions during AC insertion. The goal of this study was to assess the attitudes and current antiseptic techniques employed by ph...

Carbon quantum dots (CQDs) serve as a new class of ‘zero dimensional’ nanomaterial’s in thecarbon class with sizes below 10 nm. As light emitting nanocrystals, QDs are assembled from semiconductormaterials, from the elements in the periodic groups of II-VI, III-V or IV-VI, mainly thanks to impacts of quantum confinement QDs have unique optical properties such as brighter, highly pho...
