Hanford reservation area worker census: a research report for the Rockwell Hanford Operations [PDF]
Highlights of the worker census show: nearly 15,000 workers are in or immediately adjacent to the area; there are 21 employers; measured from the Purex plant, 80% of the total work force is located east-southeast and southeast; again centered at Purex Plant, 7% of the work force is within 2 miles, 20% within 10 miles, and 55% within 12 miles; the ...

ABSTRACT Borosilicate glasses are extensively used in a variety of applications from kitchenware to nuclear waste immobilization due to the strong network formed by the Si─O─B bond that makes it resistant to chemical corrosion and gives it a low thermal expansion.

ABSTRACT Soil microbiota provide essential services to plants, but predicting or manipulating these benefits is difficult. Here, we investigated microbial benefits to legume crops at a landscape level to uncover factors that predict those services and can be modified by growers.

Transmissivity and hydraulic conductivity of saturated sedimentary rocks in the Hanford Reservation [PDF]
The sedimentary rocks of the Pasco Basin include glaciofluviatile deposits and the Ringold Formation. They may also include sedimentary rocks interbedded with the basalts. In terms of the ground-water flow continuum these rocks are divided into the unsaturated zone, the upper dominantly coarse-clastic part of the zone of saturation and the lower ...

A novel cationic metal–organic framework (MOF‐monoAg) featuring monodispersed silver (Ag+) sites is developed for the highly selective extraction of aqueous iodide ions (I−). MOF‐monoAg exhibits high accessibility, selectivity, and binding affinity toward I− ions, enabling superior iodine extraction from seawater and efficient iodide removal from ...

Respatializing Toxic Harm: The Case Against Sacrifice Zones
ABSTRACT Describing heavily polluted areas as “sacrifice zones” has become commonplace in recent decades, as diverse groups resist their unwitting exposure to destructive and toxic industrial, municipal, and military activities. However, pollutants tend to seep, spill, leak, and drift from wherever they are concentrated, defying any notion of physical ...

Urban ponds and garden ponds—a specific subset of the former, usually located in private gardens—are both typical examples of ponds in the urban landscape. They deliver multiple ecosystem services but can also contribute to ecosystem disservices. The role of garden ponds is largely unknown compared to other urban ponds.

ABSTRACT In this study, we aimed to evaluate the genetic association between fertility traits, milk yield and the fat: protein ratio (FPR) on the test day in primiparous Holstein cows. The analysed traits were milk yield (TDMY) and FPR assessed on the test day, as well as the following fertility traits: period from calving to first service (CFS), days ...

Environmental status of the Hanford Reservation for December 1966. (Annual summary) [PDF]
Data are summarized on levels of radioactivity in environmental samples collected at Hanford during 1966, including detailed data on samples collected during December. Data are included on the radioactivity in fallout from Chinese and Russian nuclear weapons test, samples of drinking water and Columbia River water, the /sup 56/Mn content of Columbia ...

A globally influential area‐condition metric is a poor proxy for invertebrate biodiversity
Our results highlight the need to incorporate factors beyond habitat type and condition into site evaluations, and to complement metric use with species‐based surveys. Abstract There is increasing demand for standardised, easy‐to‐use metrics to assess progress towards achieving biodiversity targets and the effectiveness of ecological compensation ...
