On the Space Filling Nature of Trees: Clarifying and Validating a Model of Plant Architecture With Laser Scans of Tree Crowns
… and validating the West, Brown and Enquist (WBE) model in order to mechanistically predict allometric relationships in tree crowns. We advance WBE by testing its core assumptions for the first time with Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS)–a technique for laser imaging large tree crowns. These …

Spatial and Temporal Analysis of SARS-CoV-2 in Sewer Network in Reno-Sparks Metropolitan Area
… world implemented wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) as a tool to monitor wastewater, which provides an efficient pooled community sample and may predict COVID-19 occurrence. Even though wastewater surveillance has been in practice for decades, the novel area of WBE research for COVID-19 is based …

Identification and Screening of Biomarkers of Human Exposure to Environmental and Food Toxicants in Sewage
… approach, called Wastewater-Based Epidemiology (WBE), was proposed as an alternative “biomonitoring tool” with the aim to assess the population exposure to organophosphates, triazines and pyrethroids. A specific analytical method based on liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry was …

Characterization of low-frequency density fluctuations in dipole-confined laboratory plasmas
… of this thesis, we define low-frequency as W << Wbe where Wbe is the electron bounce frequency. These fluctuations in a laboratory dipole confined plasma lead to turbulence mixing that maintain peaked density profiles. The relationship between the different types of low-frequency fluctuations and …

COVID-19 and Wastewater-based Epidemiology: A flexible approach to monitoring SARS-CoV-2 and its variants in Trentino wastewater to support the Health Authorities
… the approach of Wastewater-based Epidemiology (WBE). The work presented here aimed to deepen this approach not only at the theoretical level but also contributing with an ongoing monitoring of about 30 months. The main objectives were (i) to collect information on the recently discovered …

Wastewater-Based Genomic Epidemiology
… testing. Wastewater–based epidemiology (WBE), whose origins trace back almost a century, has only recently emerged as a practical tool for large-scale, real-time surveillance of viral diseases at the population level. It promises to offer a cost-effective, unbiased, and privacy-preserving …

Advancing Rural Public Health: From Drinking Water Quality and Health Outcome Meta-analyses to Wastewater-based Pathogen Monitoring
… on the context, wastewater based epidemiology (WBE) is not constrained by disadvantages of clinical testing, e.g., limited health-care access, long travel times to testing facilities, delay between symptom-onset and testing. Thus, expanded implementation of WBS in rural communities is proposed …

Studies on severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type -2 in Northern South Africa
… across the globe, wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) was proposed as an alternative tool for assessing and monitoring the occurrence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) at the community level. Additionally, through wastewater-based genomic surveillance of SARS-CoV-2, …
