Processes Of Multibathyal Aragonite Undersaturation In The Arctic Ocean, Jonathan G. Wynn, Lisa Robbins, L. G. Anderson

School of Geosciences Faculty and Staff Publications

During 3 years of study (2010–2012), the western Arctic Ocean was found to have unique aragonite saturation profiles with up to three distinct aragonite undersaturation zones. This complexity is produced as inflow of Atlantic‐derived and Pacific‐derived water masses mix with Arctic‐derived waters, which are further modified by physiochemical and biological processes. The shallowest aragonite undersaturation zone, from the surface to ∼30 m depth is characterized by relatively low alkalinity and other dissolved ions. Besides local influence of biological processes on aragonite undersaturation of shallow coastal waters, the nature of this zone is consistent with dilution by sea‐ice melt and invasion …

Exposure Of Fibrinogen And Thrombin To Nitric Oxide Donor Prolinonoate Affects Fibrin Clot Properties, Christine C. Helms, Shannon Kapadia, Anne C. Gilmore, Zhexi Lu, Swati Basu, Daniel B. Kim-Shapiro

Physics Faculty Publications

Fibrin fibers form the structural backbone of blood clots. The structural properties of fibrin clots are highly dependent on formation kinetics. Environmental factors such as protein concentration, pH, salt, and protein modification, to name a few, can affect fiber kinetics through altered fibrinopeptide release, monomer association, and/or lateral aggregation. The objective of our study was to determine the effect of thrombin and fibrinogen exposed to nitric oxide on fibrin clot properties. ProliNONOate (5 [mu]mol/l) was added to fibrinogen and thrombin before clot initiation and immediately following the addition of thrombin to the fibrinogen solution. Resulting fibrin fibers were probed with …

Annual ADFSL Conference on Digital Forensics, Security and Law

Many people do all of their banking online, we and our children communicate with peers through computer systems, and there are many jobs that require near continuous interaction with computer systems. Criminals, however, are also “connected”, and our online interaction provides them a conduit into our information like never before. Our credit card numbers and other fiscal information are at risk, our children's personal information is exposed to the world, and our professional reputations are on the line.

The discipline of Digital Forensics in law enforcement agencies around the nation and world has grown to match the increased risk and …

Designing A Data Warehouse For Cyber Crimes, Il-Yeol Song, John D. Maguire, Ki Jung Lee, Namyoun Choi, Xiaohua Hu, Peter Chen

Annual ADFSL Conference on Digital Forensics, Security and Law

One of the greatest challenges facing modern society is the rising tide of cyber crimes. These crimes, since they rarely fit the model of conventional crimes, are difficult to investigate, hard to analyze, and difficult to prosecute. Collecting data in a unified framework is a mandatory step that will assist the investigator in sorting through the mountains of data. In this paper, we explore designing a dimensional model for a data warehouse that can be used in analyzing cyber crime data. We also present some interesting queries and the types of cyber crime analyses that can be performed based on …

Educating The Public From K-12 To Adults On The Importance Of Water Resource Management Using Hands-On Activities, Gary L. Hawkins, Phd, Laura W. Goss

S.C. Water Resources Conference

Water resource education occurs at many different levels. This ranges from K‐12 education to teachers to adults. At the University of Georgia (UGA), the authors have been working for years to educate the public on water issues ranging from the water cycle to soil erosion and deposition to improving soils for water resource management. The water cycle is one of the standards at the elementary school level. The authors have use an 8X10 foot display of the water cycle to teach students the different phases of the cycle, how they interact and how they are connected. Not only are the …

Effect Of Spatial Distribution Of Precipitation Data On Temporal And Spactial Uncertainty Of Swat Output, Ali O. Alnahit, Abdul A. Khan, Tom O. Owino

S.C. Water Resources Conference

Accurate modeling of water quality, water availability, and transport of pollutants at the watershed scale requires an accurate representation of the precipitation data. For this reason, the ability of hydrologic models to predict accurate outputs depends to a great extent on how well the rainfall data is distributed.

In general, rainfall intensities can vary in space and time, particularly in convective events. A number of schemes are available to account for temporal and spatial uncertainties of precipitation data. The simplest method is the arithmetic mean, which assumes the rainfall is uniformly distributed over the watershed. The Thiessen polygon method is …

Water Quality Effects Of Floating Treatment Wetland Systems To Remediate Plant Production Runoff, Lauren Garcia Chance, John C. Majsztrik, Natasha L. Bell, Daniel Hitchcock, Sarah A. White

S.C. Water Resources Conference

Plant production in greenhouse and container nurseries typically generates runoff water with excess nutrients. Runoff water either flows offsite or is captured and reused for irrigation. Floating treatment wetland systems (FTWs) can remove nutrients from water streams prior to release or reuse. FTWs consist of a floating mat planted with wetland plants, which encourage the growth of microorganisms to remove nutrients from the water.

This project inspected forested watersheds in coastal South Carolina to understand their stream response to storm events. The objectives of this study were to (1) characterize the watershed conditions based on their land use/land cover, soil drainage class, and topography, (2) compare streamflow patterns using seasonal event hydrographs, and (3) compare results of analytical method of storm event hydrograph separation with that of the chemical method using stable …

Evaluating A Commercial Potassium Humate Product For The Reduction Of Bioavailable Copper And Zinc In Surface Water, Erin J. Peck, S. Michele Harmon Phd

S.C. Water Resources Conference

Dissolved Organic Matter (DOM) is a crucial component in aquatic systems for the natural remediation of metals pollution. Natural organic compounds from DOM provide macromolecules which strongly attract cations such as copper, lead, zinc, and mercury. Binding with organic molecules reduces toxicity and bioavailability for metals uptake in aquatic organisms. We investigated the use of a commercially-available organic product, Borregro HA-1, to aid in metals remediation in an aquatic environment

A Multiple Method Approach To Evaluate Landward Migration Of Seawater Intrusion In The Floridian Aquifer, Mikala Randich, Tim Callahan, Brooke Czwartacki

S.C. Water Resources Conference

The Floridan aquifer of the Southeastern United States is an important freshwater resource for private and commercial groundwater users. Within the past few decades, certain parts of the aquifer have experienced saltwater intrusion, which has affected the viability of this critical freshwater resource. Groundwater withdrawals, variability in recharge and discharge rates, and sea level rise has caused saltwater to advance into this and other freshwater coastal aquifers. While the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources (SC DNR) monitors conductivity in several coastal Floridan aquifer wells, a comprehensive hydrochemical saltwater intrusion study of the aquifer in the Berkeley-Charleston-Dorchester tri-county region of …
