Editorial: Antibiotic Resistance in Aquatic Systems
(Frontiers Media Sa, 2017-01-25) -
Effect of composting and soil type on dissipation of veterinary antibiotics in land-applied manures
The objective of this study was to determine the fate of commonly used veterinary antibiotics in their naturally excreted form when manure-based amendments are applied to soil. Beef cattle were administered sulfamethazine, ... -
Effect of Curing on Mechanical Properties of Cement-Stabilized Coral Sand in Marine Environment
(Hindawi, 2020-07-22)The use of coral sand prepared from cement-stabilized materials can significantly reduce the cost, construction period, and damage to the environment caused by stone mining. The choice of water in mixing and curing the ... -
Effect of flexural and shear stresses simultaneously for optimized design of butterfly-shaped dampers: Computational study
(Techno-Press, 2019-02)Structural fuses are made up from oriented steel plates to be used to resist seismic force with shear loading resistance capabilities. The damage and excessive inelastic deformations are concentrated in structural fuses ... -
Effect of Silver Nanoparticles and Antibiotics on Antibiotic Resistance Genes in Anaerobic Digestion
(Water Environment Federation, 2013-05)Water resource recovery facilities have been described as creating breeding ground conditions for the selection, transfer, and dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) among various bacteria. The objective of ... -
Effectiveness of Prevailing Flush Guidelines to Prevent Exposure to Lead in Tap Water
(MDPI, 2018-07-20)Flushing tap water is promoted as a low cost approach to reducing water lead exposures. This study evaluated lead reduction when prevailing flush guidelines (30 s–2 min) are implemented in a city compliant with ... -
Effects of current generation and electrolyte pH on reverse salt flux across thin film composite membrane in osmotic microbial fuel cells
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2016-11-15) -
Effects of Dairy Manure-Based Amendments and Soil Texture on Lettuce-and Radish-Associated Microbiota and Resistomes
(American Society for Microbiology, 2019)Dairy cattle are routinely treated with antibiotics, and the resulting manure or composted manure is commonly used as a soil amendment for crop production, raising questions regarding the potential for antibiotic resistance ... -
The effects of damage on sign visibility: An assist in traffic sign replacement
(Elsevier, 2016-11-12)Traffic signs often convey critical information to drivers. To ensure visibility in nighttime or low light conditions, traffic signs must be in compliance with the minimum retroreflectivity standards outlined by the manual ... -
The effects of dietary protein content and manure handling technique on ammonia emissions during short-term storage of dairy cow manure
(American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers, 2011)An improved understanding of the potential for dietary protein manipulation to reduce ammonia emissions from dairy farms during various stages of manure handling is needed for both modeling and policy-making efforts. The ... -
Effects of electron acceptors on removal of antibiotic resistant Escherichia coli, resistance genes and class 1 integrons under anaerobic conditions
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2016-11-01)Anaerobic biotechnologies can effectively remove antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), but there is a need to better understand the mechanisms. Here we employ bioelectrochemical systems ... -
Effects of future sea level rise on coastal habitat
(2019-04)Sea level rise (SLR) and disturbances from increased storm activity are expected to diminish coastal ecosystems available to nesting species by removing habitat and inundating nests during incubation. We updated the United ... -
Effects of inset floodplains and hyporheic exchange induced by in-stream structures on nitrate removal in a headwater stream
(Elsevier, 2016-10-15)Stream restoration efforts in the United States are increasingly aimed towards water quality improvement, yet little process-based guidance exists to compare pollutant removals from different restoration techniques for ... -
Effects of Large Wood on Floodplain Connectivity in a Headwater Mid-Atlantic Stream
Large wood (LW) plays an essential role in aquatic ecosystem health and function. Traditionally, LW has been removed from streams to minimize localized flooding and increase conveyance efficiency. More recently, LW is often ... -
The effects of natural structure on estimated tropical cyclone surge extremes
(2017-09)The past 12 years have seen significant steps forward in the science and practice of coastal flood analysis. This paper aims to recount and critically assess these advances, while helping identify next steps for the field. ... -
Effects of wall roughness on turbulent junction flow characteristics
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2015-12-26)Global measurements of turbulent flows at wall–cylinder junctions are employed to quantify the effects of wall roughness on the behavior of the horseshoe vortex system (HVS). Two laboratory setups were considered: one with ... -
Efficacy of corrosion control and pipe replacement in reducing citywide lead exposure during the Flint, MI water system recovery
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2020-08-25)Flint biosolids monitoring data demonstrate a sustained decline in total lead release to potable water from plumbing since the 2014–2015 Flint Water Crisis (FWC), due to enhanced corrosion control treatment (3 mg L−1 ... -
Energy advantage of anode electrode rotation over anolyte recirculation for operating a tubular microbial fuel cell
(Elsevier, 2019)Mixing plays a key role in both electricity generation and organic removal in microbial fuel cells (MFCs) via affecting substrate distribution and internal resistance. Herein, two mixing methods, anode electrode rotation ... -
Energy Consumption by Recirculation: A Missing Parameter When Evaluating Forward Osmosis
