BACKGROUND: Arsenic, a common groundwater pollutant, is associated with adverse reproductive health but few
studies have examined its effect on maternal health.
METHODS: A prospective cohort was recruited in Bangladesh from 2008–2011 (N = 1,458). At enrollment (<16 weeks
gestational age [WGA]), arsenic was measured in personal drinking water using...

BACKGROUND: The relationship between arsenic and birth weight is not well understood.
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the causal relationship between prenatal arsenic exposure and birth weight considering the potential mediation effects of gestational age (GA) and maternal weight gain (MWG) during pregnancy using structural equation models (SEMs).
METHODS: A prospectively enrolled...
In many regions of the world, forest management has shifted from practices emphasizing timber production to more sustainable harvesting that integrates ecological values, including maintenance of biodiversity, wildlife habitat, and ecological goods and services. To this end, management strategies emphasize retention of stand structures that meet the needs of forest-obligate...

Raman spectra distributed temperature sensing (DTS) by fiber-optic cables has
recently shown considerable promise for the measuring and monitoring of surface and
near-surface hydrologic processes such as groundwater–surface water interaction,
borehole circulation, snow hydrology, soil moisture studies, and land surface energy
exchanges. DTS systems uniquely provide the opportunity to monitor...
