Prior research by Pitt (1987) examined runoff losses from paved and roofed surfaces in urban areas and showed significant losses at these surfaces during the small and moderate sized events of most interest for water quality evaluations. However, Pitt and Durrans (1995) also examined runoff and pavement seepage on highway pavements and found that very little surface runoff entered typical highw...

aim : to induce acute colitis progresses to chronicity in c57bl/6 mice by dextran sulfate sodium.   background : murine models are essential tools to understand ibd pathogenesis. among different types of chemically induced colitis models, the dextran sulfate sodium (dss)-induced colitis model is the most common model of ibd, due to its simplicity. patients and methods : male c57bl/6 mice 6–8 we...

The use of vegetative filter strips (VFS) is a longstanding best management practice for the removal of sediment and other pollutants from overland flow. Many attempts have been made to model the effectiveness of a VFS based upon soil, vegetation, and sediment properties, and also upon flow conditions, but little work has been done to investigate the reliability of the existing models when cons...

The water infiltration rules of five different homogeneously or heterogeneously-constructed soil samples were determined to select the best construction module for refuse dump reclamation in opencast mines Shanxi-Shaanxi-Inner Mongolia energy circle. Five treatments, including three homogeneous consisting sandy soil, Montmorillonite-enriched sandstone, and sand-Montmorillonite-enriched sandston...
