Within this context, both the river dynamics in the plain and the geomorphology of the coastline have at various times resulted in the formation of small lagoons. At present only two small (< 0.5 km2) lagoons exist, at the eastern edge of the aquifer, which, although closely surrounded by commercial market-garden greenhouses, are protected under international agreements.

Household risk factors associated with both lead and asthma were examined. Method: We undertook a cross-sectional study involving children residing in mainly low-income and minority households in Michigan which were identified by the Statewide Systemic Tracking of Elevated Lead Levels and Remediation database (STELLAR) (n=356 children). Results: Of the 356 index children, 19% had EBLLs and 15% were doctor-diagnosed asthmatic.

Publication year: 2010 Source: Engineering Failure Analysis, In Press, Accepted Manuscript, Available online 7 December 2010 E., Sadeghi meresht , T., Shahrabi , M., Abdali In January 2010, stress corrosion cracking was occurred in a high-pressure gas pipeline steel in northern regions of Iran, after almost 40 years since its installation. In this study, the reasons of this corrosion as well as effects of stress corrosion cracking were investigated. Failure mechanisms were determined based on available documents and metallographic studies conducted on the pipe above.

Publication year: 2010 Source: Energy, In Press, Corrected Proof, Available online 7 December 2010 Boris, Ćosić , Zoran, Stanić , Neven, Duić This paper provides methodology for regional analysis of biomass energy potential and for assessing the cost of the biomass at the power plant (PP) location considering transport distance, transport costs and size of the power plants. Also, methodology for determination of an upper-level price of the biomass which energy plant can pay to the external suppliers has been proposed. The methodology was applied on the case of Croatia and energy potential of biomass in the Croatian counties was calculated, using different methodologies, for wheat straw, corn stover and forestry residues, types of biomass considered economically viable at the moment.
