Anticipating, identifying and prioritizing strategic needs represent essential activities by research organizations. When these pursuits engage globally important environment and health goals, including the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals

Estimating real-time infiltration for use in residential ventilation control

June 18, 2019
Author(s)
Lisa Ng, Stephen M. Zimmerman, Jeremy Good, Brian Tool, Steven Emmerich, Andrew Persily
Minimum outdoor air ventilation rates specified in standards such as ASHRAE Standard 62.2 are generally based on envelope airtightness, building floor area, geographical location, and number of occupants. To meet ventilation requirements in practice

Siting background towers to characterize incoming air for urban GHG estimation: a case study in the Washington DC/Baltimore Area

June 5, 2019
Author(s)
Kimberly L. Mueller, Vineet Yadav, Israel Lopez Coto, Anna Karion, Sharon M. Gourdji, Cory R. Martin, James R. Whetstone
There is increased interest in understanding urban greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. However, to accurately estimate city emissions, the influence of exurban fluxes must first be removed from urban greenhouse gas (GHG) observations. This is especially true

A Review of Organotin Contamination in Arctic and Subarctic Regions

May 17, 2019
Author(s)
John Kucklick, MIchael Ellisor
Organotin (OT) compounds are of continued arctic concern as they still widely used despite the most well-studied OT, tributyl tin (TBT), being restricted for use on marine vessels to prevent fouling by marine organisms. The highest OT concentrations found

Examining the Relationships Between Blubber Steroid Hormone and Persistent Organic Pollutant Measurements in Common Bottlenose Dolphins

March 24, 2019
Author(s)
Thomas M. Galligan, Brian C. Balmer, Lori Schwacke, Jennie L. Bolton, Brian M. Quigley, Patricia Rosel, Gina M. Ylitalo, Ashley Russell
In this study, we use remotely collected blubber samples from common bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) inhabiting the waters near a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Superfund site with high local DDx concentrations, to study the impacts of DDx

Lipidomics for wildlife disease etiology and biomarker discovery: a case study of pansteatitis outbreak in South Africa

Author(s)
John Bowden, Jeremy P. Koelmel, Candice Z. Ulmer, Susan Fogelson, Hannes Botha, Christina M. Jones, Jackie T. Bangma, Theresa M. Cantu, Matthew P. Guillette, Wilmien Luus-Powell, Joseph Sara, Willem J. Smit, Korin Albert, Harmony Miller, Berkley Olsen, Jason A. Cochran, Timothy J. Garrett, Richard A. Yost
Lipidomics is a promising tool to determine biomarkers and elucidate mechanisms associated with anthropogenic-induced stress in wildlife. Therefore, we examine the application of lipidomics for in situ studies on Mozambique tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus

Electronic Structure, Pore Size Distribution, and Sorption Characterization of an unusual MOF, {[Ni(dpbz)][Ni(CN)4]}n, dpbz=1,4-bis(4-pyridyl)benzene

September 26, 2018
Author(s)
Winnie K. Wong-Ng, Izaak Williamson, Daniel W. Siderius, Jeffrey T. Culp, Yu-Sheng Chen, Lan Li, Matthew Lawson
The monoclinic (Ni(L)[Ni(CN)4] (L= 1,4-Bis(4-pyridyl) benzene) compound (nick-name Ni-dpbz) is a flexible metal organic framework (MOF) which assumes a pillared structure with layers defined by 2D Ni[Ni(CN)4]n nets and dpbz ligands as pillars. The
