2008 journal article

Nitrate contamination in groundwater on an urbanized dairy farm

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY, 42(13), 4683–4688.

By: W. Showers n, B. Genna n, T. McDade n, R. Bolich n & J. Fountain n

MeSH headings : Bromides / analysis; Chlorides / analysis; Dairying; Environmental Monitoring / statistics & numerical data; Flow Injection Analysis; Magnetics; Nitrates / analysis; Nitrogen Isotopes / analysis; North Carolina; Urban Renewal; Water Pollutants, Chemical / analysis; Water Supply / analysis
TL;DR: The isotope and Cl/Br ratios indicate that nitrate contamination in these drinking wells are not from septic systems, but are the result of animal waste leached from pastures into groundwater during 35 years of dairy operations which did not violate any existing regulations.

2008 journal article

Mosaicism, modules, and the evolution of birds: Results from a Bayesian approach to the study of morphological evolution using discrete character data

SYSTEMATIC BIOLOGY, 57(2), 185–201.

author keywords: Bayesian analyses; birds; flight; fossils; morphological data; mosaic evolution; quantitative methods
MeSH headings : Animals; Bayes Theorem; Biological Evolution; Birds / anatomy & histology; Birds / genetics; Flight, Animal; Models, Biological
TL;DR: Results suggest limited support for some pectoral branch lengths being significantly longer only early at/after the origin of flight, and preference for models with partitions defined a priori by anatomical subregion is consistent with a disjunctive pattern of character change for the data set investigated and may have implications for parameterization of Bayesian analyses of morphological data more generally.

Historic 2005 toxic bloom ofAlexandrium fundyensein the west Gulf of Maine: 1. In situ observations of coastal hydrography and circulation

Journal of Geophysical Research, 113(C7).

TL;DR: In-situ observations from both a gulf-wide ship survey and the coastal observing network revealed anomalous ocean conditions during May 2005, which may have favored more vigorous along-shore transport and near shore aggregation of toxic A. fundyense cells (a red tide) in 2005.

Historic 2005 toxic bloom of Alexandrium fundyense in the western Gulf of Maine: 2. Coupled biophysical numerical modeling

JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH-OCEANS, 113(C7).

By: R. He n, D. McGillicuddy*, B. Keafer* & D. Anderson*

TL;DR: Results suggested that the high abundance of cysts in western GOM was the primary factor of the 2005 bloom, andWind forcing was an important regulator, as episodic bursts of northeast winds caused onshore advection of offshore populations. (via Semantic Scholar)

A computationally-efficient secondary organic aerosol module for three-dimensional air quality models

ATMOSPHERIC CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS, 8(14), 3985–3998.

By: P. Liu n & Y. Zhang n

TL;DR: The two processes can be speeded up by relaxing the error tolerance levels and reducing the maximum number of iterations of the numerical solver for the partitioning equations for organic species; conditionally activating organic-inorganic interac- tions; and parameterizing the calculation of activity coeffi- cients for organic mixtures in the hydrophilic module.
