Dermal exposure assessment of pesticide use: The case of sprayers in potato farms in the Colombian highlands

Quantifying dermal exposure to pesticides in farming systems in developing countries is of special interest for the estimation of potential health risks, especially when there is a lack of occupational hygiene regulations. In this paper we present the resu ...

Modelling prehistoric land use and carbon budgets: A critical review

Jed Oliver Kaplan

An evaluation of modelled estimates for C release following early land clearance at the global level based on new model assumptions suggests that earlier studies may have underestimated its magnitude, chiefly because of underestimation of the mid-Holocene ...

Assessing Digital Surface Models by Verifying Shadows: A Sensor Network Approach

Martin Vetterli, François Golay, Claudio Magalhaes Carneiro, Mina Karzand

We propose to use wireless sensor networks to assess the accuracy and application of Digital Surface Models (DSM) for the study of shadowing and solar radiation over the built environment. Using the ability of sensor network data to provide information abo ...

Vertical ordering of rods under vertical vibration

Thomas Liebling, Lionel Pournin, Marco Ramaioli

Granular media composed of elongated particles rearrange and order vertically upon vertical vibration. We perform pseudo-two-dimensional discrete element model simulations and show that this phenomenon takes place also with no help from vertical walls. We ...
