The bottom-up approach to bounding potential low-dose cancer risks from formaldehyde: An update
Abstract In 2013, we proposed a novel bottom-up approach to bounding low-dose cancer risks that may result from small exogenous exposures to chemicals that are always present in the body as a result of normal biological processes. The approach...

Shape Optimization Methods Locating Layer Interfaces in Geothermal Reservoirs
Abstract Subsurface structures have a strong influence on fluid flow and heat transport in geothermal systems. We examine whether the position and shape of an interface between two lithological bodies can be detected based on temperature-depth...

Simultaneous Time-lapse Data Acquisition of Active and Passive Seismic Sources at Al Wasse Water Pumping Field in Saudi Arabia
Abstract We developed time-lapse technology using the Accurately Controlled Routinely Operated Signal System (ACROSS) and seismic arrays and carried out field operations at the Al Wasse water pumping field in Saudi Arabia. We analyzed 2 months of...

Experimental study and characteristic finite element simulation of solute transport in a cross-fracture
Abstract A new method, the characteristic finite element method (CFEM), was developed to simulate solute transport in a cross-fracture. The solution of this mathematical model for solute transport considered that the contribution of convection and...

Screening for CO2 storage sites in Southeast North Sea and Southwest Baltic Sea
Abstract Mapping efforts over the past decade has resulted in fairly good knowledge about the wide range of CO2 storage options that exists across Europe. Several research groups in Europe are currently maturing this knowledge further with the...

Transport of solutes under transient flow conditions – A case study – Yamuna river sub basin (Kosi Kalan to Agra)
Abstract The imbalance between incoming and outgoing salt causes salinization of soils and sub-soils that result in increasing the salinity of stream-flows and agriculture land. This salinization is a serious environmental hazard particularly in...

Comparison of Hourly Solar Radiation from a Ground–Based Station, Remote Sensing and Weather Forecast Models at a Coastal Site of South Italy (Lamezia Terme)
Abstract The solar radiation is a critical input parameter when working with solar energy and radiation dependent surface processes. In this study, we present preliminary results from an inter-comparison between hourly values from a pyranometer,...
