A human exposome framework for guiding risk management and holistic assessment of recycled water quality
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2016-04-12)Challenges associated with water scarcity and increasing water demand are leading many cities around the globe to consider water reuse as a step towards water sustainability. Recycled water may be used in a spectrum of ... -
A Micro-Scale Investigation on the Behaviors of Asphalt Mixtures under Freeze-Thaw Cycles Using Entropy Theory and a Computerized Tomography Scanning Technique
(MDPI, 2018-01-23)The thermodynamic behavior of asphalt mixtures is critical to the engineers since it directly relates to the damage in asphalt mixtures. However, most of the current research of the freeze-thaw damage of asphalt mixtures ... -
Aggregation and sedimentation of magnetite nanoparticle clusters
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2016-03-24)Magnetite nanoparticles are redox active constituents of subsurface and corrosive environments. In this study, we characterized the aggregation and sedimentation behavior of well characterized magnetite nanoparticle clusters ... -
Analysis of salivary fluid and chemosensory functions in patients treated for primary malignant brain tumors

Application of positive matrix factorization to on-road measurements for source apportionment of diesel- and gasoline-powered vehicle emissions in Mexico City
(Copernicus Publications, 2010)The goal of this research is to quantify diesel- and gasoline-powered motor vehicle emissions within the Mexico City Metropolitan Area (MCMA) using on-road measurements captured by a mobile laboratory combined with positive ... -
Bioelectrochemical production of hydrogen in an innovative pressure-retarded osmosis/microbial electrolysis cell system: experiments and modeling
(2015-08-14)Background While microbial electrolysis cells (MECs) can simultaneously produce bioelectrochemical hydrogen and treat wastewater, they consume considerable energy to overcome the unfavorable thermodynamics, which is not ... -
C-13 Pathway Analysis for the Role of Formate in Electricity Generation by Shewanella Oneidensis MR-1 Using Lactate in Microbial Fuel Cells
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2016-02-12) -
Characterization of Particle Emissions and Fate of Nanomaterials During Incineration
(The Royal Society of Chemistry, 2014-01-24)As the use of nanotechnology in consumer products continues to grow, it is inevitable that some nanomaterials will end up in the waste stream and will be incinerated. Through laboratory-scale incineration of paper and ... -
CNT@TiO2 nanohybrids for high-performance anode of lithium-ion batteries
(2013-11-22)This work describes a potential anode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), namely, anatase TiO2 nanoparticle-decorated carbon nanotubes (CNTs@TiO2). The electrochemical properties of CNTs@TiO2 were thoroughly ... -
Compressed Natural Gas Vehicles: Financially Viable Option?
(NAS, 2016)Natural gas vehicles are being developed because of increasing concerns about energy dependence, air quality and emissions, and, more recently, climate change. The major advantage of natural gas vehicles is their lower ... -
Convective Mixing in Distal Pipes Exacerbates Legionella pneumophila Growth in Hot Water Plumbing
(MDPI, 2016-03-12)Legionella pneumophila is known to proliferate in hot water plumbing systems, but little is known about the specific physicochemical factors that contribute to its regrowth. Here, L. pneumophila trends were ... -
Dietary phosphorus effects on characteristics of mechanically separated dairy manure
(American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers, 2005)One approach to reduce nutrient losses from livestock farms is to apply biological waste treatment systems such as biological nitrogen (N) removal or enhanced biological phosphorus (P) removal (EBPR) to reduce the nutrient ... -
Diffusion Dynamics of Energy Saving Practices in Large Heterogeneous Online Networks
(PLOS, 2016-10-13)Online social networks are today's fastest growing communications channel and a popular source of information for many, so understanding their contribution to building awareness and shaping public perceptions of climate ... -
Dynamic Travel Time Prediction using Pattern Recognition
(TU Delft, 2013)Travel-time information is an essential part of Advanced Traveler Information Systems (ATISs) and Advanced Traffic Management Systems (ATMSs). A key component of these systems is the prediction of travel times. From the ... -
Dynamics of Airborne Influenza A Viruses Indoors and Dependence on Humidity
(PLOS, 2011-06-24)There is mounting evidence that the aerosol transmission route plays a significant role in the spread of influenza in temperate regions and that the efficiency of this route depends on humidity. Nevertheless, the precise ... -
