Evidence of global pollution and recent environmental change in Kamchatka, Russia
Abstract Kamchatka is a remote, isolated and understudied area and is presumed to be pristine. Here we present the first high-resolution palaeolimnological investigation of the recent past. A short core representing the last 250years was taken from...

Stochastic market modeling with Gaussian Quadratures: Do rotations of Stroud's octahedron matter?
Abstract Recently, stochastic applications of large-scale applied simulation models of agricultural markets have become more frequent. However, stochastic modeling with large market models comes with high computational and management costs for data...

A probabilistic approach for landslide hazard analysis
Abstract We present a general framework for probabilistic landslide hazard analysis. With respect to other quantitative hazard assessment approaches, this probabilistic landslide hazard analysis has the advantage to provide hazard curves and maps,...

An overview on measurements of natural radioactivity in Malaysia
Abstract Humans are always exposed during their lives to ionizing radiation arising outside and within the earth. The exposure to these radiation occurs from natural sources such as radioactive elements in rocks and soil, internal exposure form...

Evaluation of undrained shear strength of Swedish fine-grained sulphide soils
Abstract In Swedish practice, there is a long tradition of evaluating undrained shear strength from fall-cone tests and field vane tests. During the last 20years cone penetration tests have also become widely used. However, the results from all...

Optimizing energy for a ‘green’ vaccine supply chain
Abstract This paper describes an approach piloted in the Kasserine region of Tunisia to increase the energy efficiency of the distribution of vaccines and temperature sensitive drugs. The objectives of an approach, known as the ‘net zero energy’...

A novel spectral index to automatically extract road networks from WorldView-2 satellite imagery
Abstract This research develops a spectral index to automatically extract asphalt road networks named road extraction index (REI). This index uses WorldView-2 (WV-2) imagery, which has high spatial resolution and is multispectral. To determine the...

Performance and specific emissions contours throughout the operating range of hydrogen-fueled compression ignition engine with diesel and RME pilot fuels
Abstract This paper presents the performance and emissions contours of a hydrogen dual fueled compression ignition (CI) engine with two pilot fuels (diesel and rapeseed methyl ester), and compares the performance and emissions iso-contours of diesel ...

Analysis of conditional statistics obtained near the turbulent/non-turbulent interface of turbulent boundary layers
Abstract Direct numerical simulations of turbulent boundary layers (TBL) along a flat plate are used to study the properties of turbulent/non-turbulent (T/NT) interface of the TBL. The values of the momentum-thickness-based Reynolds numbers, ...

A Study on Maturity Model of Open Source Software Community to Estimate the Quality of Products
Abstract Open Source Software (OSS) is a new paradigm to develop software by community, in which groups of developer collaborating each other. The method becomes very popular because the products of OSS projects, such as source code, documents,...

Determination of in situ dissolved inorganic carbon concentration and alkalinity for marine sedimentary porewater
Abstract Dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) concentration and total alkalinity in marine sediment vary with biological activity, mineral diagenesis and past bottom ocean water composition. Reliable interpretation of this data is often compromised due...

Enhanced Marine Oil Spill Response Regime for Southern British Columbia, Canada
Abstract Several recent proposals to expand pipeline capacity on the West Coast of Canada have raised concerns about the increased risk of oil spills. This paper discusses how Trans Mountain Pipeline ULC (Trans Mountain) is focusing on continued...

Pore-scale heterogeneity in the mineral distribution and reactive surface area of porous rocks
Abstract The reactive surface area is an important control on interfacial processes between minerals and aqueous fluids in porous rocks. Spatial heterogeneity in the surface area can lead to complications in modelling reactive transport processes,...
