| NPS pollution control | An integrated simulation-optimization approach for POPs pollution control |
||||||
Today, more than 1.2 billion pounds of pesticides are used annually in North America by a variety of industries (e.g., agriculture, forestry, aquaculture), with up to 98% of the pesticide residues entering and contaminating the environment. Adverse impacts caused by pesticide pollution on health of wildlife and human being have been reported. [Read More...]

Recently, the growing concerns on pesticide pollution have demanded more in-depth and comprehensive modeling and experimental studies for effectively supporting best management practice and sound pollution control. This research attempts to meet such a demand. This search will help governments to improve their effectiveness and capabilities in [Read More...]

Integrated ballast water management system in harsh environments
|
|||||||
Ballast water is widely used in vessels and ships to increase the draft, change the trim, avoid the bow emerging from the water, ensure efficient propeller and rudder operation, and provide maneuverability during a voyage. Recently, ballast water has been recognized as the major vector of the worldwide transfer of non-indigenous species and dissolved hydrocarbons from offshore oil and gas industry. [Read More...] |
