Modeling Reductive Dechlorination Of 1,2-Dichloroethane In The Presence Of Chloroethenes And 1,2-Dichloropropane As Co-Contaminants – Using Prior Information And Multi-Objective Optimization, Uwe Schneidewind

International Congress on Environmental Modelling and Software

1,2-Dichloroethane (1,2-DCA) is a major man-made chlorinated organic compound. It can often be found in plumes at sites contaminated with a mix of chlorinated ethenes that warrant some form of remedial treatment or at least monitored natural attenuation. A major attenuation pathway of 1,2-DCA is through reductive dechlorination by organohalide-respiring bacteria (OHRB), which is influenced by other chlorinated contaminants such as chloroethenes and chloropropanes, often co-existing with 1,2-DCA. To assess the effect of chloroethenes and 1,2-dichloropropane (1,2-DCP) on 1,2-DCA dechlorination by a microbial consortium containing ORHB, we simulated the (sequential) reductive dechlorination in a series of enriched batch cultures using …

Modelling Climate Change Impacts On The Water-Energy-Food Nexus, Seleshi Yalew

International Congress on Environmental Modelling and Software

Various studies have investigated the potential impacts of future climate on water, energy, or food production separately. However, the impacts of climate change on the nexus between these interacting sectors is only recently gaining attention. At present, no quantitative modelling and global analysis is available to show the impacts of climate change on the water, energy and food (WEF) nexus. Two approaches can be followed to quantify the WEF nexus. The first is to use an integrated assessment model, using a model that includes modules for water, energy, and food. The second approach is to use separate cutting-edge models from …

New Optimization Framework Of Watershed Best Management Practice Scenarios In A Unit-Boundary Adaptive Manner, Liang-Jun Zhu

International Congress on Environmental Modelling and Software

Optimization of watershed best management practice (BMP) scenarios based on watershed modeling and intelligent optimization algorithms provides an effective way for watershed management to achieving optimal environmental and economic effectiveness. Existing studies commonly conduct the BMP scenario optimization by allocating diverse BMPs on boundary-fixed spatial units (referred to as BMP configuration units; e.g., subbasins, hydrologic response units, farms). This means the shapes and sizes of each BMP configuration unit cannot be changed and optimized once they have been created through spatial discretization before the optimization process. This sort of “boundary-fixed” method entirely ignores a dimension of solution space search, i.e., …

Open Science For An Interactive Exploration Of Fluvial Futures, Oliver Schmitz

International Congress on Environmental Modelling and Software

Managing densely populated fluvial areas and adapting to climate-change present major challenges for sustainable development. To democratise the decision-making process it is desired that stakeholders and planning professionals can evaluate common interventions by straightforward access to intervention plans, source data, and model code. We aimed at the creation of an interactive environment based on free and open-source models and software packages for intervention planning and evaluation. This provides benefits as a) the model implementation and therefore scientific reasoning is visible and transparent b) the application of the entire workflow is not hampered by e.g. licensing issues of software tools used …

An Automated Method Of Determining Hydrological Model Structure, Cheng-Zhi Qin

International Congress on Environmental Modelling and Software

A key step of hydrological modelling is to determine the hydrological model structure adapting to the application context of modelling, such as the modelling purpose, the geographical characteristics of the study area, and the data availability. Such a step is non-trivial for those modellers with limited hydrological modelling knowledge, who are often performers of hydrological modelling in real applications. Although integrated hydrological modelling frameworks have been proposed as important tools of aiding modellers from the burden on hydrological modelling, the determination of hydrological model structure still depends on the modellers. This means that the modellers have to manually select proper …

The Reality Of Huge Industries In Karbala Province In 2017, Maryam Saleh Shafiq

Alustath Journal for Human and Social Sciences

The success of any country's economy depends mainly on the continuity of the work of industrial enterprises in any region, especially if natural and human resources are invested through the use of the best methods of production, which in turn contributes to increasing national income and thus raising the standard of living of the population and the development of social life. By providing jobs and thus contributing to the low level of unemployment and the transition from the reality of underdevelopment to the reality of industrial and economic development, the number and type of large industrial sectors in Karbala province …

Influence Of Woodsmoke Exposure On Molecular Mechanisms Underlying Alzheimer’S Disease: Existing Literature And Gaps In Our Understanding, Adam Schuller, Luke Montrose

Public and Population Health Faculty Publications and Presentations

Woodsmoke poses a significant health risk as a growing component of ambient air pollution in the United States. While there is a long history of association between woodsmoke exposure and diseases of the respiratory, circulatory, and cardiovascular systems, recent evidence has linked woodsmoke exposure to cognitive dysfunction, including Alzheimer’s disease dementia. Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder with largely idiopathic origins and no known cure. Here, we explore the growing body of literature which relates woodsmoke-generated and ambient air pollution particulate matter exposure to Alzheimer’s disease (AD) onset or exacerbation, in the context of an inflammation-centric view of AD. …

Bilateral Investment Treaty And Stock Market Correlation: Africa & Middle East Case, Nada Asaad

Theses and Dissertations

This paper attempts to study the effects of bilateral investment treaties between countries on their stock market correlation. The study focuses on Africa and Middle East countries and how their bilateral investment treaties with other countries affect the stock market correlation of their indices. Some previous studies have ignored the effects of bilateral investment treaties on stock market correlation. Therefore, it is important to fill in this gap. The data examined are indices for Africa and Middle East countries who are involved in bilateral investment treaties with other countries to examine the effects of these bilateral investment treaties on the …

Signature Pedagogy And Beyond: Reflections On Baltrinic And Wachter Morris (2020, L. Dianne Borders Phd

Teaching and Supervision in Counseling

In a response to Baltrinic and Wachter Morris (2020), I expand on the term signature pedagogy and illustrate how clinical supervision satisfies the criteria for this designation in the counseling field. I then suggest an alternative term, “pedagogical foundations” (from Baltrinic and Wachter Morris), to ground work towards the authors’ goals of asking the ‘right questions’ about the ‘best things’ underlying counselor education practices and research. Finally, I outline some additional avenues (toward the same goals) via explorations of traditional learning theories and science of learning principles that emphasize student learning processes in the classroom - how students learn.

Faculty Research 2020

The premise of Open Science is that research and medical management will progress faster if data and knowledge are openly shared. The value of Open Science is nowhere more important and appreciated than in the rare disease (RD) community. Research into RDs has been limited by insufficient patient data and resources, a paucity of trained disease experts, and lack of therapeutics, leading to long delays in diagnosis and treatment. These issues can be ameliorated by following the principles and practices of sharing that are intrinsic to Open Science. Here, we describe how the RD community has adopted the core pillars …

“Señora, Diak!”: Co-Constructed Identity Of A Foreigner In Timor-Leste, Marie Quinn

The Qualitative Report

This article takes place in not one taxi, but all the taxis I have caught in Timor-Leste, encapsulating first encounter conversations I have had across the country, where my “otherness” as a Señora, an Australian who towers over the local population is contrasted to my knowledge of the country. I take a reflexive approach to explore how my identity as a work colleague and researcher has been constructed by many factors. Such encounters as I typify here challenge me to consider who I am and what is expected of me as a sensitive and ethical adviser and researcher.

The Sensitivity Of Repeat And Near Repeat Analysis To Geocoding Algorithms, Cory P. Haberman, David Hatten, Jeremy G. Carter, Eric L. Piza

Publications and Research

Purpose: To determine if repeat and near repeat analysis is sensitive to the geocoding algorithm used for the underlying crime incident data.

Methods: The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department provided 2016 crime incident data for five crime types: (1) shootings, (2) robberies, (3) residential burglaries, (4) theft of automobiles, and (5) theft from automobiles. The incident data were geocoded using a dual ranges algorithm and a composite algorithm. First, descriptive analysis of the distances between the two point patterns were conducted. Second, repeat and near repeat analysis was performed. Third, the resulting repeat and near repeat patterns were compared across geocoding …
