This study assesses the potential impact of drought on arsenic exposure from private domestic wells by using a previously developed statistical model that predicts probability elevated concentrations (>10 μg per liter) in water located conterminous United States (CONUS). The application to simulate conditions used systematically reduced precipitation and recharge values. resulted higher probabi...

Abstract Given the mismatch between large volume of data archived for sixth phase Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6) and limited personnel computational resources downscaling, only a small fraction CMIP6 archive can be downscaled. In this work, we develop an approach to robustly sample projected hydroclimate states in downscaling test whether selection single initial condition (IC) e...

Background. Concept analysis has identified three domains in the competent use of birth technology – interpersonal skills, professional knowledge and clinical proficiency – and tentative criteria for birth technology competence. Aim. Fieldwork was undertaken to observe, confirm and explore pre-defined attributes of birth technology competence. Method. The Swartz-Barcott and Kim (2000) hybrid mo...

Climate variability and change along with anthropogenic water use have affected the (re)distribution of storage fluxes across Contiguous United States (CONUS). Available hydrological models, however, do not represent recent changes in cycle. Therefore, this study, a novel Bayesian Markov Chain Monte Carlo-based Data Assimilation (MCMC-DA) approach is formulated to integrate Terrestrial Water St...

The Alaskan swallowtail butterfly, Papilio machaon aliaska (Lepidoptera: Papilionidae), uses three plant species as host plants. Cnidium cnidiifolium (Turcz.) Schischk. belongs to the family Apiaceae, the ancestral host-plant family of the P. machaon group. Artemisia arctica Less. and Petasites frigidus (L.) Franch, in contrast, belong to the distantly related Asteraceae family and were coloniz...

Objective(s):Cone snails are estimated to consist of up to 700 species. The venom of these snails has yielded a rich source of novel peptides. This study was aimed to study the analgesic effect of Persian Gulf Conus textile and its comparison with morphine in mouse model. Materials and Methods: Samples were collected in Larak Island. The venom ducts were Isolated and kept on ice then homogenize...

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) have been deriving surface particulate matter with a median diameter of 2.5 µm or less (PM2.5) from satellite aerosol optical depth (AOD) over Continental (CONUS) using climatological PM2.5-AOD regression relation. However, because relation can change time, this method large errors when ...

We present an updated fuel-based oil and gas (FOG) inventory with estimates of nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions from natural production in the contiguous US (CONUS). compare FOG aircraft-derived (“top-down”) for NOx over footprints that account ∼25% production. Across CONUS, we find bottom-up combined other anthropogenic is on average within ∼10% top-down emissions. also good agreement trends dri...
