Trade‐offs between surviving and thriving: A careful balance of physiological limitations and reproductive effort under thermal stress

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Balancing survival and reproduction presents a fundamental evolutionary challenge, especially in extreme and unpredictable environments. Thermoregulatory behaviour, in particular, imposes a costly trade‐off, as time spent maintaining optimal body temperature precludes ...

Surcharge of sewer systems [PDF]

, 1980
Surcharge of a sewer is the situation in which the sewer entrance and exit are submerged and the pipe is flowing full and under pressure. In this report the hydraulics of the surcharged flow as well as the open-channel flow leading to and after surcharge

THE AESTHETICS OF URBAN METABOLISM: Landscape, Design and the Politics of In/Visibility

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract In this article, we chart the evolving aesthetic contours of urban metabolism across London, focusing on the River Lea and Thamesmead to the north and south of the River Thames, respectively. We begin in the nineteenth century, when these two sites formed critical nodes within a new sewerage system that relegated the city’s circulatory flows ...

Potential of storm water storage tank outflow construction in the prevention of sewerage overload

Applied Water Science, 2022
The impact of a storm water storage tank outflow construction on its required volume is discussed. A dimensioning of the tank by a rational method applied for small sewerage systems is presented. For large systems, subroutines should be developed to take

REPRESENTING POLLUTION AT THE AGRARIAN–URBAN FRONTIER: Participatory Documentary Film‐Making in Bar Elias, Lebanon

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract The Beqaa Valley in Lebanon has become increasingly polluted, and residents are attributing illness to improper waste disposal and dumping. This article explores local epistemologies of pollution’s causes and effects in three films, which were researched and produced by local residents of Bar Elias, a small town in the Beqaa, which has rapidly

Sediment Transport in Sewers: The Cesarina Combined Sewer Network [PDF]

, 2014
The polluting effects of storm water runoff on the receiving waterbodies represent an increasingly relevant problem in developing urban areas. In combined sewer pipes, transiting flood waves cause the alternation of sediment erosion and deposition of ...

Partisan Cities: How State‐Local Political Alignment Shapes Credit Risk and Information Processing in the Municipal Bond Market

Journal of Accounting Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper studies how partisan alignment between city leaders and state governors shapes information processing and bond pricing in the municipal bond market. Using a novel data set on 1,045 U.S. cities from 2005 to 2019, we show that cities with the same political affiliation as the state governor face 9 basis points lower borrowing costs ...

Migrating Storms and Optimal Control of Urban Sewer Networks [PDF]

Hydrology, 2015
Uniform storms are generally applied in most of the research on sewer systems. This is for modeling simplicity. However, in the real world, these conditions may not be applicable. It is very important to consider the migration behavior of storms not only in the design of combined sewers, but also in controlling them.
