Comparison of SLR predictions to monitored performance of six Virginia passive solar houses
… were made using the Solar Load Ratio (SLR) method for the expected use of auxiliary heating fuel. Comparisons were then made between actual performance and predicted performance. The SLR method is used for predictions because it is a widely used tool in the design of passive solar …

Presenting a Systematic Literature Review Method Using a Mixed-Methods Design and its Application to Mind Map Research
… for conducting Systematic Literature Reviews(SLRs) by incorporating a unique mixed-methods design into the well-established SLR process. The proposed approach, identified as Mixed-Methods Based Systematic Literature Review (MMB-SLR), not only provides researchers with a broader perspective on …

Tidal hydrodynamic response to sea level rise and coastal geomorphology in the Northern Gulf of Mexico
Sea level rise (SLR) has the potential to affect coastal environments in a multitude of ways, including submergence, increased flooding, and increased shoreline erosion. Low-lying coastal environments such as the Northern Gulf of Mexico (NGOM) are particularly vulnerable to the effects of SLR, …

On the equivalence of sparse statistical problems
… Analysis (SPCA) and Sparse Linear Regression (SLR) are two problems that have a wide range of applications and have attracted a tremendous amount of attention in the last two decades as canonical examples of statistical problems in high dimension. A variety of algorithms have been proposed for …

Investigation of the Spatiotemporal Evolution of Tropical Cyclone Storm Surge under Sea Level Rise
… surge hazard changes with sea level rise (SLR) shows that the probabilistic surge with SLR can be 1.0 m larger, while different individual storm's surge with the same magnitude can be 1.5 m larger or 0.1 m smaller, indicating the importance of not relying on results from a limited number of …

Molecular and microscopical analysis of pathogenic streptococci - studies on surface proteins interacting with human cells and extracellular matrix
… of S. pyogenes M1 protein and leucine rich (Slr) protein to collagen type I, and Slr’s interaction with human keratinocytes. The adherence of S. pyogenes and S. pneumoniae to collagen type VI in murine upper and lower airways was restricted to the proximity of the NH2 - and COOH-terminal …

Probabilistic Tropical Cyclone Surge Hazard Under Future Sea-Level Rise Scenarios: A Case Study in The Chesapeake Bay Region, USA
… this threat is growing due to sea-level rise (SLR). Therefore, accurate and rapid projection of the storm surge hazard is critical for coastal communities. This study focuses on developing a new framework that can rapidly predict storm surges under SLR scenarios for any random synthetic storms …

Modeling the Effects of Sea-Level Rise on Flooding in the Lower Ozama River Basin, Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic
Sea-level rise (SLR) and extreme precipitation increasingly threaten low-lying tropical cities, yet flood assessments in the Dominican Republic have relied primarily on static, elevation-based approaches. This study develops a multi-model framework to evaluate the impacts of SLR and compound …

Low-noise frequency synthesis and picosecond timing for satellite laser ranging systems
… the development of a satellite laser ranging (SLR) system with submillimeter precision. Different types of oscillators and frequency multipliers have been developed (RF and microwave) in order to provide a synchronous and low phase noise clock signal to the SLR timing system, which is …

Precipitation and Sea Level Rise Impacts on Groundwater Levels in Virginia Beach, Virginia
<p>Global sea level rise (SLR) is one of the most immediate impacts of climate change, and poses a significant threat to low-lying coastal communities worldwide. The metropolitan region of Hampton Roads in Southeastern Virginia is one such community, and one where knowledge surrounding SLR is …

Development and Uncertainty Quantification of Hurricane Surge Response Functions and Sea-Level Rise Adjustments for Coastal Bays
… is to take the sum of projected sea-level rise (SLR) and present day surge (static approach); however, this does not account for dynamic SLR effects on surge generation. This study demonstrates that SLR has a significant dynamic effect on surge in the Panama City area, and that total flood …

Upland Migration of Coastal Marshes as a Response to Sea Level Rise and Fire Management: Past, Present, and Predicted
… anthropogenic stressors, such as sea level rise (SLR). SLR can cause marshes to drown, converting them to open water. Marshes can respond to SLR through landward migration when suitable habitat is available. My research focuses on the landward migration pattern and mechanisms. I evaluated the …

Impacts of coastal flooding on watersheds in Hampton Roads, VA
… due to climate change and sea level rise (SLR). The Mid-Atlantic U.S. is experiencing SLR at rates faster than the global average, especially in Hampton Roads, Virginia where the rate of SLR is accelerating due to land subsidence. Adaptation plans for coastal flooding are mostly made at the …

Field and numerical investigations of wave transformation and inundation on atoll islands
… to evaluate the impact of sea level rise (SLR) on shoreline wave energy, runup and inundation within atoll environments. Field data from Fatato Island indicate clear tidal controls on sea swell (SS) waves and setup at the reef flat and shoreline, but identify no tidal influence on …

Coastal Wetland Dynamics Under Sea-level Rise and Wetland Restoration in the Northern Gulf of Mexico using Bayesian Multilevel Models and a Web Tool
… to predict how relative sea-level rise (SLR), combined with restoration activities, affects landscapes of coastal wetlands with uncertainties accounted for at the entire northern Gulf of Mexico (NGOM). I developed such a modeling framework – Bayesian multi-level models to study the …

Keeping above the waves? The response of coastal freshwater peatlands to sea-level rise
Global mean sea-level rise (SLR) is accelerating and is projected to continue for centuries across all emissions scenarios. With high emissions, we cannot rule out a rise of 15 m by 2300. Understanding coastal response to SLR is a priority for policymakers and land managers, but limited attention …

Factors influencing the prevalence rate of ASD amongst children, a systematic review.
The aim of this SLR is to examine the factors influencing the prevalence rate of ASD amongst children. To obtain literature for this SLR a search strategy was formulated to ensure that relevant, credible and current information was acquired. Using the PEO framework and the relevant Boolean …

Design of a Market Exchange for Climate risk
… For example, projections for sea level rise (SLR) have been developed by certain cities, and the mitigating costs related to managing this risk can be estimated. Still, there exists disagreement between the true probability of change, rise and impact. This paper proposes a real-time …
