Bacterial interactions with uranium: An environmental perspective

Journal of Contaminant Hydrology, 2008
The presence of actinides in radioactive wastes is of major concern because of their potential for migration from the waste repositories and long-term contamination of the environment. Studies have been and are being made on inorganic processes affecting the migration of radionuclides from these repositories to the environment but it is becoming ...

Environmental Support for Tag Interactions

2007
Tag interactions are agent interactions that complement and differ from speech act communication models. Tags are public information that agents expose to others in the system to allow two types of interactions. Tag monitoring interactions let agents observe the tags of others actively.

Interactive GIS for environmental risk assessment

International journal of geographical information systems, 1995
Geographical Information Systems can be used for processing spatial data to assess the risks of environmental contamination. Their use depends upon the amount and quality of available data, the models for interpolation and calculation of health risk, data processing procedures and interactivity. In this study, it is shown that interactive use of GIS is

InterANTARCTICA: An interactive environmental installation

2010 IEEE International Conference on Multimedia and Expo, 2010
This paper is focussed on InterANTARCTICA, an interactive installation. InterANTARCTICA uses a tangible interface with multiple interaction technologies that allow users to interact, experience and gain knowledge about climate change. The aim is to use interactive technologies, to effectively raise awareness and educate the public about climate change.

Interaction of environmental chemicals with respiratory sensitization

Toxicology Letters, 1996
The acute effects of the inhalation of air polluting agents have been examined by many research groups in both animal models and human beings. For instance, it is evident that exposure to ozone has toxic effects and can lead to lung function disturbances.

Interactive Modeling of Environmental Impacts

IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 1990
Abstract Human activities, and in particular large scale industrial, energy, construction, water resources, or agricultural projects considerably affect the natural environment. Concern about these impacts and their immediate as well as long-term consequences makes the prediction and analysis of environmental impacts an important field of research ...

Specifications for interactive environmental management

IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics, 1984
In response to the need for comprehensive assessment of environmental quality, the development of a large-scale computer model called SEAS was initiated by the US Environmental Protection Agency in 1972. Although SEAS has provided a framework for the collection, storage, and treatment of environmental data, it has increasingly become apparent that such

Gene–environmental interactions and organophosphate toxicity

Toxicology, 2010
Organophosphates (OPs) are an important class of insecticides that in the UK have been widely used for treating sheep for ectoparasites as well as in other sectors of the farming industry. Health problems associated with acute OP toxicity are well defined but, ill-health induced by chronic exposures to OPs remains controversial. A substantial number of

Predicting Environmental Interaction

SAE Technical Paper Series, 1967
<div class="htmlview paragraph">Ingredients necessary for studying the effects of environmental interactions are presented. A technique for quantitatively predicting the effects of combined environments upon components was developed and applied to test data obtained under controlled conditions.
