Long-term response of surface water acid neutralizing capacity in a central Appalachian (USA) river basin to declining acid deposition
Abstract Long-term changes in acid-base chemistry resulting from declining regional acid deposition were examined using data from repeating synoptic surveys conducted within the 275 km2 Upper Savage River Watershed (USRW) in western Maryland (USA);...

Conditions for duality between fluxes and concentrations in biochemical networks
Abstract Mathematical and computational modelling of biochemical networks is often done in terms of either the concentrations of molecular species or the fluxes of biochemical reactions. When is mathematical modelling from either perspective...

Thermal performance of a radiatively cooled system for quantum optomechanical experiments in space
Abstract Passive cooling of scientific instruments via thermal radiation to deep space offers many advantages over active cooling in terms of mission cost, lifetime and the achievable quality of vacuum and microgravity. Motivated by the mission...

Estimating fugitive methane emissions from oil sands mining using extractive core samples
Abstract Fugitive methane emissions from oil sands mining activities are a potentially important source of greenhouse gas emissions for which there are significant uncertainties and a lack of open data. This paper investigates the potential of a...

Seismogenic structure of the 2016 Ms6.4 Menyuan earthquake and its effect on the Tianzhu seismic gap
Abstract On January 21, 2016, a strong earthquake with a magnitude of Ms6.4 occurred at Menyuan, Qinghai Province of China. In almost the same region, there was another strong earthquake happened in 1986, with similar magnitude and focal mechanism....

A tool for determining sheltering efficiency of mechanically ventilated buildings against outdoor hazardous agents
Abstract Sudden large scale outdoor releases of toxic materials may require protective actions in the affected areas, and one option is to shelter indoors. Mechanically ventilated buildings provide protection against outdoor hazardous particulate...

Delineating the relationship between chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM) variability and biogeochemical parameters in a shallow continental shelf
Abstract Absorption coefficient of chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM) at 440nm [a CDOM (440)], sea surface salinity (SSS), total suspended matter (TSM) and chlorophyll-a (chl-a) were measured during October, 2014 to...

The global mean sea surface model WHU2013
Abstract The mean sea surface (MSS) model is an important reference for the study of charting datum and sea level change. A global MSS model named WHU2013, with 2′ × 2′ spatial resolution between 80°S and 84°N, is established in this paper by...

One-dimensional Mathematical Modelling of Debris Flow Impact on Open-check Dams
Abstract The impact of debris flows on open-check dams is modeled as a Riemann problem in a rectangular cross-section channel with downstream dry state. Under the assumption that the energy is conserved through the structure, this special Riemann...
