Viability And Ecology Based Tools For Studying Antibiotic Resistance, Nicole Fahrenfeld
Sustainability Seminar Series
Over 2 million people are sickened and at least 23,000 people die in the U.S. of antibiotic resistant infections each year. Community acquired infections in humans have been linked with environmental sources of antibiotic resistance. Mitigating the risk of environmental AR infections requires understanding hot spots for AR as well as the potential for horizontal gene transfer. A series of case studies will be presented towards understanding hot spots of antibiotic resistance genes in viable cells.

The Kentucky Mesonet is a research-grade weather and climate observing network with redundant sensors that monitors the near-surface atmosphere at 71 locations across Kentucky. The network measures temperature, precipitation, solar radiation, relative humidity, barometric pressure, and wind speed and direction every 5 min, with soil moisture and soil temperature measured every 30 min. In addition, it operates a camera at selected locations. All observations are transmitted via cellular modem every 5 min and become available to the general public through the World Wide Web within seconds after arrival at Kentucky Mesonet’s Network Operations Center. In between arriving at the IT …

CUNY Graduate Center
The Water/Energy Nexus: Climate, Consumption And Ecosystem Services, Hildegaard D. Link
Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects
Water and energy are drivers of living systems. This work provides an assessment of the Water Energy Nexus in the United States, comparing the well-watered north-east and the arid west. Electric grid systems are most stressed on hot summer afternoons. Grid stress can lead to cascading failures of electricity, water and wastewater treatment systems. (Zimmerman, 2017) Water for power generation and/or water supply depend on ecosystem services. The ecosystem services and resource trade-offs embedded in provision of a watt of power and an ounce of potable water, however, have yet to be comprehensively enumerated nor have the cost relationships been …

Coal Geology & Exploration
In order to further study the effect of ultrasonic frequency on the stimulated cracking effect of coal, the paper conducted the crack experiment on the original coal samples by using the ultrasonic generation meter, and measured the coal by using the NMR equipment through analyzing the T2 curve, the changes of pore structure before and after coal sample cracking were deeply studied. The results show that the pore structure of coal can be effectively improved by the ultrasonic wave. After the crack induced by the ultrasonic wave, the pore quantity inside the coal increased and the total porosity, effective …

Advances On Geological-Geochemical Research Of Coal-Type Uranium In China, Zhou Xianqing, Qin Yong, Lu Lu
Coal Geology & Exploration
There is a huge gap in uranium resources in China. Only developing traditional uranium resources is unable to meet the increasing demand in energy and national defense construction. The exploitation and utilization of coal-type uranium resources can relieve the pressure of demand for uranium resources to a certain extent. By summarizing the research results of coal-type uranium in recent years, the ore location, uranium content range, formation time and distribution range of coal-bearing strata of major coal-type uranium deposits in China, and the definition criteria of coal-type uranium are given, which provides a basis for the classification of coal-type uranium …

Coal Geology & Exploration
The reasonable control of the casing pressure and the bottom-hole pressure and the reasonable depressurization of reservoir pressure is the key technology for the CBM development. The pickup of the bottom-hole flow pressure(BHFP) will restrain CBM' desorption, lead to reservoir permeability damage and reduce the production of CBM wells. Based on production practice of Fanzhuang block in Qinshui basin, this paper puts forward the cause of a CBM abnormal well type, pickup of the BHFP, clarifies the damage mechanism of the pickup of the BHFP through theoretical research and field data analysis, and puts forward the evaluating method of the …

Coal Geology & Exploration
CBM fracturing effect has many influencing factors. Development effect with the same technology is different in different area. Based on a large amount of geological and engineering data in Shizhuang block, it was found that high geo-stress affects fracture extension and support in CBM fracturing, and difference between horizontal stress affects fracture direction and morphology. Coal seam with poor coal structure can produce large amount of gum during fracturing, which will block the diversion channel and result in poor fracturing effect. Engineering factors affecting fracturing effect mainly include the fracturing fluids performance, displacement, prepad fluid proportion and hole enlargement ratio. …

Coal Geology & Exploration
Based on Weibull random distribution and damage mechanics theory, starting from the characteristics of rock deformation process, the Drucker-Prager criterion was used to establish a damage constitutive model that can reflect the characteristics of rock various deformation stages. Through the conventional triaxial compression test of frozen-thawed sandstone, the Mohr stress circle was used to obtain the cohesion and internal friction angle of the sandstone under different freeze-thaw cycles. The model theoretical curve and the test curve of freeze-thaw sandstone were compared to verify the model rationality. By varying the internal friction angle, whether the friction angle has an effect on …
