PRACTICAL AND JUST LEGISLATION RELATING TO STREAM POLLUTION

Six common errors relating to environmental pollution.

Overall. cancer death rates are staying steady or coming down, the major exception being.smoking-related cancer. The latest update from the National Cancer Institute ( 12/02/85) for the de~e 1974-1983 shows that cancer of the stomach is down 20%; cancer of the cervix-uterus is down 30% (both of these have been decreasing for decades); and cancer of the ovary is down 8%. The cancer rates that ar...

Chemical nonlinearities in relating intercontinental ozone pollution to anthropogenic emissions

[1] Model studies typically estimate intercontinental influence on surface ozone by perturbing emissions from a source continent and diagnosing the ozone response in the receptor continent. Since the response to perturbations is nonlinear due to chemistry, conclusions drawn from different studies may depend on the magnitude of the applied perturbation. We investigate this issue for intercontine...

Modeling Stream Bank Erosion: Practical Stream Results and Future Needs

Coupled two-dimensional (2D) morphodynamic and bank erosion models are gaining attentions in recent years. It has been shown that such models have advantages over the one-dimensional (1D) modeling approaches. In this paper, a previous 2D bank erosion model with the moving mesh method is extended to include the fixed mesh approach. Further, two practical streams with differing complexity are sim...
