Importance of consideration of chloride induced corrosion in service life design of reinforced concrete (RC) structures situated in marine environment is well known.This paper attempts to provide, within the framework of Monte Carlo Simulation, methodologies for durability based service life design of RC members.A methodology using fragility curves
Chlorophyll trends in subtropical and tropical estuaries are under characterized and may reveal patterns not shared by their temperate analogues.Detection of trends requires long-term monitoring programs, but these are uncommon.In this study, we utilized an 18-year chlorophyll-a time series from 2002 to 2020 in Weeks Bay, AL, to detect and quantify
Candida auris is notorious for its ability to spread within healthcare environments, particularly in intensive care units (ICUs), posing significant challenges for clinicians as treatment options become limited.This is especially concerning in the context of central nervous system (CNS)-invasive infections.While rare, its involvement in Mini Casser
Understanding the factors associated with cholera outbreaks is an integral part of designing better approaches to mitigate their impact.Using a rich set of georeferenced case data from the cholera epidemic that occurred in Harare from September 2018 to January 2019, we apply spatio-temporal modelling to better understand how the outbreak unfolded a
