Endoxifen is an effective metabolite of tamoxifen, a commonly used chemotherapy drug, and has been detected in the final effluent of a municipal wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). Endoxifen has emerged as a potential breast cancer drug based on a recently completed clinical trial. Endoxifen in the water environment could bring negative effects to aquatic lives as demonstrated by its toxicity.
Civil engineering is the oldest form of engineering and one of the earliest professions. Throughout time, civil engineers were and continue to be future makers, designing and building the future TODAY.
Global water resources are stressed by rising global temperatures, reduced precipitation in arid regions, and growing demand for water. Reclaimed wastewater is being increasingly used to augment freshwater supplies for both potable and non-potable uses, the latter including the irrigation of edible crops and ecological enhancement.
The global consequences of rapid urbanization include the generation of complex interdependencies between human and infrastructure systems that will inevitably be substantially different from those governing the performance of today’s cities.
On July 4th and 5th, 2019, two earthquakes (magnitudes 6.4 and 7.1, respectively) occurred with their epicenters on the Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake (NAWSCL) in Ridgecrest, California. The Naval Facilities Engineering Command Southwest immediately engaged the Reid Middleton engineering team to perform detailed building safety
evaluations.
We present a physical and computational model for performing fully coupled, grain-resolving Di-rect Numerical Simulations of cohesive sediment, based on the Immersed Boundary Method.
