Assessment of the bioaccessibility of micronized copper wood in synthetic stomach fluid
Abstract The widespread use of copper in treated lumber may result in a potential for human exposure. Due to a lack of information concerning the release of copper from treated wood particles following oral ingestion, the in vitro bioaccessibility...

Lesser Himalayan sequences in Eastern Himalaya and their deformation: Implications for Paleoproterozoic tectonic activity along the northern margin of India
Abstract Substantial part of the northern margin of Indian plate is subducted beneath the Eurasian plate during the Caenozoic Himalayan orogeny, obscuring older tectonic events in the Lesser Himalaya known to host Proterozoic sedimentary successions ...

Morphology and associated environmental flow prescriptions for rivers for water supply
Abstract River morphological change, prescribed environmental flow regimes, and the water supply ability of rivers are correlated. In water-scarce regions, the ability to ensure planned water supply reliability is a major criterion for deciding...

Model calibration and uncertainty analysis for runoff in the Chao River Basin using sequential uncertainty fitting
Abstract The Chao River is one of the most important surface water sources for drinking water in Beijing. Due to the impacts of human activities and climate change, the Chao River basin is facing water scarcity. Therefore, it is very important to...

Gravitational tree-code on graphics processing units: implementation in CUDA
Abstract We present a new very fast tree-code which runs on massively parallel Graphical Processing Units (GPU) with NVIDIA CUDA architecture. The tree-construction and calculation of multipole moments is carried out on the host CPU, while the force ...

Numerical Experiments on the Age of Seasonal Rain Water in Hillslopes
Abstract Solute transport in hillslope is often ruled by the water dynamics at the vadose zone and the groundwater. Solute is mobilized by rainfall, which feds the subsurface components of flow leading to water discharge and pollutograph at the...
