Cancer incidence among former Love Canal residents.
3 May 2009 
BACKGROUND: The Love Canal was a rectangular 16-acre, 10-ft-deep chemical waste landfill situated in a residential neighborhood in Niagara Falls, New York. This seriously contaminated site came to public attention in 1978. Only one prior study ... Read more...
Validation of two models for discharge rate.
3 May 2009 A substantial body of discharge rate data has been developed over the past half century applicable for validation of single and two-phase discharge models. This paper applies a wide range of test cases and compares predictions with test data for two ... Read more...
9 Apr 2009 A coastal prediction system for Tampa Bay, comprised of a numerical circulation model and Lagrangian particle transport model, rapidly produces hindcast/forecast simulations that alert authorities to high impact areas following the introduction of ... Read more...
