At the Hanford Site, an extensive In Situ Redox Manipulation (ISRM) permeable reactive barrier was installed to prevent chromate from reaching the Columbia River. However, chromium has been detected in several wells, indicating a premature loss of the reductive capacity in the aquifer. Laboratory experiments have been conducted to investigate whether barrier reductive capacity can be enhanced b...

Kainate type of glutamate receptors (KARs) are highly expressed during early brain development and may influence refinement of the circuitry, via modulating synaptic transmission and plasticity. KARs are also localized to axons, however, their exact roles in regulating presynaptic processes remain controversial. Here, we have used a microfluidic chamber system allowing specific manipulation of ...

Rock typing is known as the best way in heterogeneous reservoirs characterization. The rock typing methods confine to various aspects of the rocks such as multi-scale and multi-modal pore types and size, rock texture, diagenetic modifications and integration of static/dynamic data. Integration of static and dynamic behavior of rocks and their sedimentary features are practiced in this study. Po...

Bioretention is a low-impact technology used for the treatment of stormwater runoff in developed areas. The fates of mineral nitrogen compounds in two bioretention columns (RP1 and RP2) with different media-layering characteristics were investigated under multiple loadings of simulated urban runoff. The immediate capture of nitrogen was evaluated, with nitrogen transformation reactions that occ...

Heat and mass transfer in a permeable fabric system used for Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) was investigated using hot air jet impingement conditions to mimic the jet exhaust of Short Take-Off and Vertical Landing (STOVL) aircraft. The STOVL aircraft uses a thrust-vectoring nozzle of the jet engine and a lift fan in order to vertically land and take off a short runaway. The jet engine exha...

Accurate permeability estimation has always been a concern in determining flow units, assigning appropriate capillary pressure andrelative permeability curves to reservoir rock types, geological modeling, and dynamic simulation.Acoustic method can be used as analternative and effective tool for permeability determination. In this study, a four-step approach is proposed for permeability estimati...

[1] To investigate arsenic mobility in the Bengal Basin groundwater, we sampled water wells and sediments throughout the region. There are strong correlations among high levels of dissolved arsenic and iron, ammonia, and methane, especially in samples from a single site (Laxmipur). No linkage is seen between As and agricultural tracers such as phosphate. The association of As and Fe occurs beca...
