Impact of Secondary Prevention on Mortality in the Building Trades National Medical Screening Program: Effectiveness of Occupational High-Risk Management. [PDF]
Am J Ind MedABSTRACT Background Since 1997 the Building Trades National Medical Screening Program (BTMed) has offered medical exams to construction workers employed in US nuclear weapons facilities. The process consists of two steps: (1) a detailed work history interview; and (2) a medical exam.

Effect of reducing groundwater on the retardation of redox-sensitive radionuclides
Geochemical Transactions, 2008 Laboratory batch sorption experiments were used to investigate variations in the retardation behavior of redox-sensitive radionuclides. Water-rock compositions were designed to simulate subsurface conditions at the Nevada Test Site (NTS), where a suite ...

Cavity-based secondary mineralization in volcanic tuffs of Yucca Mountain, Nevada: a new type of the polymineral vadose speleothem, or a hydrothermal deposit? [PDF]
International Journal of Speleology, 2005 Secondary minerals (calcite, chalcedony, quartz, opal, fluorite, heulandite, strontianite) residing in open cavities in the Miocenerhyolite tuffs of Yucca Mountain, Nevada have been interpreted by some researchers as "speleothemic" formations, deposited ...

Retrospective image analysis for long‐term demography using Google Earth imagery
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.We demonstrate that high‐resolution Google Earth imagery, combined with minimal field validation, enables retrospective tracking of individual invasive plants. The image shows one of the monitored individuals of Opuntia sp. in Greece. Our approach reveals long‐term demographic patterns, recruitment dynamics, and spatial expansion without continuous ...

Yucca Mountain Milestone [PDF]
, 1997 The Department of Energy project to determine if the Yucca Mountain site in Nevada is suitable for geologic disposal of high-level nuclear waste reached a major milestone in late April when a 25-foot-diameter tunnel boring machine ``holed through'' completing a five-mile-long, horseshoe-shaped excavation through the mountain.

Studies in Ethnicity and Nationalism, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Despite enduring decades of advocacy, Alevi communities in Türkiye find themselves in a constant state of anticipation for acknowledgment from the Turkish state. Previous studies have long documented the marginalized status of Alevis within Turkish society and their ongoing struggle for recognition; however, they have overwhelmingly framed the

Fracture–Matrix Flow Partitioning Governs Retention Regime Transitions in Unsaturated Fractured Rock
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 14, 28 July 2026.Abstract Upscaling unsaturated flow in fractured rock remains challenging because fractures and matrix often exhibit sharply contrasting hydraulic behaviors across saturation states. Here, we demonstrate that unsaturated flow undergoes a transition between matrix‐ and fracture‐dominated regimes.

Climate change impacts on California's foundational trees: Demographic shifts are already underway
Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 7, July 2026.Abstract Climate change is a leading threat to global biodiversity. Research on climate change impacts on foundational species, which underlie the structure and function of ecosystems, is critical to developing effective conservation responses. To better understand the landscape of existing research and identify research needs, we conducted a scoping ...
