Diversity Analysis of Soil Fungus Communities in Disturbed, Nursery, and Mature Forest Conditions
… and native soil plug inoculation of the wildlife overpass. This study was an effort to describe soil fungi communities present on the overpass before plant introduction, those that plants would be bringing in their pots, and the fungi that could be introduced via soil plug transplantation. DNA was …

EFFECT OF COVER ON SMALL MAMMAL ABUNDANCE AND MOVEMENT THROUGH WILDLIFE UNDERPASSES
… and vehicles. Most wildlife underpasses and overpasses are designed to accommodate a wide variety of species. Their suitability for individual species, however, varies by location (surrounding habitat), structure type (e.g. underpass or overpass), and dimensions (height, width, length). For …

A GIS-Based Comparative Study of Superfund Contaminants and the Threat They Represent to Eastern Harris County Communities
… San Jacinto River. Three sites north of the I-10 overpass include the French Limited (FLTD), Sikes Disposal Pits (SDP) and Highlands Acid Pits (HAP), all of which contain benzene, metals, Methyl Tert-Butyl Ether, and Volatile Organic Compounds above the Maximum Contaminants Level (MCL) and lie in …

Landsat : water quality surveillance of Roodeplaat Dam
… collected simultaneously with the satellite's overpass, from 32 sampling sites on the impoundment. Six days, between 81.10 .14 and 82 .11.16, were cloud free and the data were analysed in order to establish the relationship between the specific water quality conditions and the satellite …

Claiborne Avenue in the Treme: re claiming neutral ground
… of this neutral ground, one in which the I-10 overpass is removed. In a neighborhood with such strong and persistent connections to its past, it is important not only to re-establish Claiborne Avenue as an aesthetic amenity, but also to create a discourse around the injustices that have …

Repair of Impact-Damaged Prestressed Bridge Girders Using Strand Splices and Fabric Reinforced Cementitious Matrix
… of structural damage to the underside of an overpass bridge girder due to an overheight vehicle collision. Collision damage to bridges can range from minor to catastrophic, potentially requiring repair or replacement of a bridge girder. This thesis investigates the performance of two …

Isolation and Identification of Biphenyl and Polychlorinated Biphenyl Degrading Microbes
The San Jacinto River system south of the I-10 overpass is heavily contaminated with biphenyl and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), carcinogenic aromatic hydrocarbons that have a deleterious impact on the environment. While typically recalcitrant to most forms of environmental degradation, biphenyl …

Wheel Path Wandering Based On Field Data
… a high resolution digital camera mounted on overpass is utilized to acquire lateral placement data under low and heavy traffic condition, during daytime and nighttime, in sunny, rainy, and windy weather, and at five different locations on an interstate highway. Based on the collected data, …

Detecting long-term trends in water quality parameters using remote sensing techniques
… were collected within seven days of satellite overpass and used to build calibration models for SDD, Chl-a, and DOC in the Hudson River Estuary, New York. The accuracy of model estimates was evaluated using a validation dataset and water quality indicators were mapped for the period 2005-2008. …

An application of ocean wave-current refraction to the Gulf Stream using SEASAT SAR data
… the Gulf Stream at the position of the satellite overpass. There is a great deal of scatter in the SAR data, both before and in the Gulf Stream, so it is difficult to correlate every point with specific current behavior, but the increase in wave length and change in wave angle in the center of the …

Metal-TiO2 nanocomposites towards efficient solar-driven photocatalysis
… Several approaches have been proposed to overpass this issue and, among them, the use of metal-TiO2 nanocomposites with proper nanostructurarion seems very promising for water purification strategies. Aim of this work is to investigate the possibility to develop efficient solar-driven TiO2 …

Reimagining Urban Leftover Spaces Under Overpasses: Mitigating Urban Heat Islands and Heatwaves Through Green Space Transformation
The urban thermal environment is deteriorating due to the constructed urban space and climate change, which negatively impacts public health, especially in the Urban Canopy Layer (UCL). Recent research has investigated the contribution of microclimate parametric in specific urban typologies such as …
