The ortho-phthalates case study revealed some of the challenges to advance the science of chemical classes. In general, agencies strongly adhere to precedent, a feature that when combined with external pressure to preserve the status quo, only reinforces the challenge to change. For instance, in...
Science has learned a lot about the environment since the time when the State originally allowed the use in this location. In many other locations we have decided that the tradeoff of commercial activity is outweighed by a newer appreciation of the value of the natural landscape for a variety ...

Diversity measurements using the Shannon–Weiner Index of ARG classes showed similar values between the methods with DARTE-QM having H = 2.95 in swine-manure samples and H = 2.87 in manure-treated soil samples, while metagenomes had H = 2.92 in swine-manure samples and H =...
The intermediate classes include less intensive forms of land use (e.g., pasture) or mixed cropping. Details on the reclassification are provided in Table 1. After reclassification, the global grid was aggregated to a resolution of 30 arc seconds by averaging the land use intensities. The ...

“Current HRA models are incorrect in the way that they model time-dependent effects of factors such as stress and complexity. By melding research in psychology, reliability engineering and data science, we can develop more accurate HRA models,” states Paglioni. “The results will improve risk ...
