Urban waterways represent a natural reservoir of antibiotic resistance which may provide a source of transferable genetic elements to human commensal bacteria and pathogens. The objective of this study was to evaluate antibiotic resistance of Escherichia coli isolated from the urban waterways of Milwaukee, WI compared to those from Milwaukee sewage and a clinical setting in Milwaukee. Antibioti...

17α-ethinylestradiol (EE2), a synthetic oestrogen in oral contraceptives, is one of many pharmaceuticals found in inland waterways worldwide as a result of human consumption and excretion into wastewater treatment systems. At low parts per trillion (ppt), EE2 induces feminisation of male fish, diminishing reproductive success and causing fish population collapse. Intended water quality standard...

Due to increasing marine traffic intensity on inland waterways the interaction between ships and banks is becoming more of a problem. Bank effects make ship manoeuvring more difficult and rivers need to be protected against ship-induced currents and waves. is thesis contributes to the development of a new method that simulates these ship-bank interaction effects in realtime. Such predictions a...

Vessel big data play a significant role in understanding vessel behaviors and thus facilitating the prosperity of waterway transportation. However, relevant research regarding trajectory recognition broad range narrow channels still lacks, especially using VITS data. The major objective this paper is to conduct analysis based on novel examine its availability inland An alternate aim develop mor...

The European Union has emphasized the creation of an appropriate framework to optimize internal market and inland transport waterways, remove barriers their wider use. Administrative in logistics goods on Danube waterway its navigable tributaries constitute a significant obstacle efficient sustainable use as region’s central hub. approach proposed this paper was designed identify analyze relati...

Abstract. Inland ships are an important source of NOx, especially for cities along busy waterways. The amount and effect such emissions depend on the traffic density NOx emission rates individual vessels. Ship typically derived using in situ land measurements relation to factors (e.g. number pollutants emitted by per unit burnt fuel). In this study, a different approach is taken, obtained (in g...

Because zebra mussels spread rapidly throughout the eastern United States in the late 1980s and early 1990s, their spread to the western United States has been expected. Overland dispersal into inland lakes and reservoirs, however, has occurred at a much slower rate than earlier spread via connected, navigable waterways. We forecasted the potential western spread of zebra mussels by predicting ...
