Improvement of simulating BMPs and LID practices in L-THIA-LID model
<p>Best management practices (BMPs) and low impact development (LID) practices are popular approaches used to reduce the negative impacts of urbanization on hydrology and water quality. To assist planners and decision-makers in urban development projects, user-friendly tools are needed to assess …

Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs): new modulators of the follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) synthesis and release
… superfamily, the Bone Morphogenetic Proteins (BMPs) have recently been involved for their action in reproduction at ovary level. Whether BMPs act at pituitary level and participate with other factors to regulate FSH production in females is not elucidated. In order to extend our knowledge of …

Modeling and analysis of phosphorus reduction by rain gardens and other BMPs in stormwater runoff from small urban developments
… evaluated. Several Best Management Practices (BMPs) and LID technologies were assessed to determine which devices would be most suitable for the site. The P8 Urban Catchment Model was chosen to model phosphorus concentrations in stormwater runoff before and after the implementation of LID. The …

L’implication de la signalisation des Bmps dans le maintien de l’homéostasie de la muqueuse intestinale et colique et dans les pathologies digestives.
Les Bmps sont des morphogènes jouant des rôles dans l’embryogenèse et l’organogenèse du tube digestif. Les BR-Smads, Smad1, Smad5 et Smad8, sont les effecteurs intracellulaires de cette cascade de signalisation et ils assurent la biodiversité des réponses biologiques associées aux Bmps. Plusieurs …

Best Management Practice Use and Efficacy for the Virginia Nursery and Greenhouse Industry
Best management practices (BMPs) are used in the nursery and greenhouse industry to increase production efficiency, and also serve to help meet clean water limitations on contaminants entering waters such as the Chesapeake Bay Watershed. Research is lacking on which BMPs are most widely used or …

BMP Cost and Nutrient Management Effectiveness on Typical Beef and Beef-Poultry Farms in Shenandoah County, Virginia
… of five best management practices (BMPs) on a typical beef and beef-poultry farm in Shenandoah County. Whole-farm net revenues, resource allocation, nutrient loss reductions, and the cost efficiency of reducing nutrient losses were analyzed to assess which BMPs are the most cost …

Assessing the suitability for urban stream rehabilitation in Fort Collins based on watershed, hydrologic, and benthic macroinvertebrate indicators
… begun implementing best management practices (BMPs) to help control stormwater runoff from developed areas. Locations and coverage of BMPs along with other measures of urbanization are compared to available stream flow and shear stress data which are in-turn related to benthic macroinvertebrate …

Effects of forest harvesting best management practices on surface water quality in the Virginia coastal plain
… of forestry best management practices (BMPs) for minimizing hydrologic and water quality impacts associated with timber harvesting. One watershed was clear-cut without implementation of BMPs, one watershed was clear-cut with the implementation of BMPs and the third watershed was left …

The Use of Stormwater Modeling for Design and Performance Evaluation of Best Management Practices at the Watershed Scale
The use of best management practices or BMPs to treat urban stormwater runoff has been pervasive for many years. Extensive research has been conducted to evaluate the performance of individual BMPs at specific locations; however, little research has been published that seeks to evaluate the impacts …

Development of a Method to Compare Storm Water Best Management Practices at The University of Toledo
… concerns, storm water best management practices (BMPs) have been developed to reduce flow rates and improve water quality. However, many sites that require the use of the BMPs have no means of deciding which BMP is the best fit for the site in question. To address this problem, a Storm Water BMP …

Effectiveness, cost, and implications of forest haul road stream crossing structures and best management practices in Virginia
… to forest road Best Management Practices (BMPs). Three legacy (100 year old) forest road stream crossings were monitored for suspended sediment for nine months before and six months after upgrading three unimproved ford crossings with one bridge, one culvert, and one improved ford. During …

Modification of Aplysia Feeding Network By L-Dopa and Dopamine-Dependent Learning
… one of two distinct buccal motor patterns (BMPs): intermediate (low L-DOPA) or bite patterns (high L-DOPA). The selection of intermediate BMPs was associated with shortening of the second phase of the BMP (retraction), whereas the selection of bite BMPs was associated with shortening of both …

Optimization of BMP Selection for Distributed Stormwater Treatment Networks
… stormwater best management practices (BMPs), necessary to meet regulatory objectives for nutrient removal and groundwater recharge. Selection of the appropriate BMPs for a particular site requires consideration of contributing drainage area characteristics, such as soil type, area, and …

Enhancing Profitability of Pond Aquaculture in Ghana through Resource Management and Environmental Best Management Practices
… protein. Adoption of best management practices (BMPs) holds the potential to ameliorate the related environmental impacts of aquaculture, such as in the amounts of nutrients and sediment that will enter natural water bodies from earthen pond effluents. The goals of this study were to characterize …

The development of an evaluation method for best management practices on agricultural lands
… decisions on which Best Management Practices (BMPs) are most appropriate for the control of Non-Point Sources of Pollution (NPSP) within their jurisdiction, a method is developed for unbiased site-specific evaluation of BMPs appropriateness. An appropriate BMP is functional, practical and cost …

Apatite-polymer composites for the controlled delivery of bone morphogenetic proteins
… factors known as bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) have been hailed as alternatives to bone grafts due to their ability to elicit new bone formation. Clinical use of BMPs involves loading the protein solution onto collagen sponges and subsequent implantation. However, these conventional …
