Cruel World Awaits Neglected Streamside Buffers Since Its Inception in 1984 September 2019 Volume 29 Number 6 Scientists fear steep loss of Bay grasses lies ahead ≈ Preliminary findings suggest some of the Chesapeake’s underwater grass beds were hurt by heavy rains, heat BY KARL BLANKENSHIP Portions of the Chesapeake Bay’s underwater grass meadows appear to be headed for steep declines this year, a delayed response to the torrential rains that poured vast amounts of water-fouling sediments and nutrients into the estuary during 2018. Initial reviews of this year’s aerial survey show significant losses of under- water grass beds in parts of the Mid Bay, where the bulk of the Chesapeake’s underwater grass beds are located. At the same time, preliminary reviews of the aerial images show that portions of the Upper Bay survived last year’s deluge of muddy water surprisingly well, with Throngs of volunteers plant trees along a stream in Lancaster County, PA. If the fanfare and involvement doesn’t also grass beds even expanding in some areas. include maintenance beyond the initial planting days, the project could ultimately fail. (Allyson Wells) “It’s going to be a mixed story, as it always is,” said Bob Orth, the Virginia Institute of Marine Science researcher who has been overseeing the aerial survey Cruel world awaits neglected streamside buffers since its inception in 1984. ≈ Without maintenance, site, an essential practice to combat Another tube had fallen to an The full analysis of this year’s survey, tree plantings fall victim to problems with invasive plants.

Howard County’s Office of Transportation wants to extend the Grist Mill Trail into Historic Ellicott City and Catonsville, as well as extending it south to the existing BWI Trail and to Baltimore’s Inner Harbor. These extensions are expected to drive tourist traffic to the connected nodes, and to improve business revenue and growth, reduce congestion, improve public health, improve air quality, and provide recreational pathways for non-motorized traffic (see Figure 1). This report researches the economic impact of similar projects on their communities, and will help evaluate the potential benefits of building the regional pathway network. This report reviews impacts on public health, property values, congestion, air quality, tourism, sales revenue and potential business accruement.

The communication, technically referred to as connectivity, between single-neurons, is the center of many investigations aimed at elucidating pathophysiology, anatomical differences, and structural and functional features. In comparison with bulk analysis, single-neuron analysis can provide precise information about neurons or even sub-neuron level electrophysiology, anatomical differences, pathophysiology, structural and functional features, in addition to their communications with other neurons, and can promote essential information to understand the brain and its activity. This review highlights various single-neuron models and their behaviors, followed by different analysis methods. Again, to elucidate cellular dynamics in terms of electrophysiology at the single-neuron level, we emphasize in detail the role of single-neuron mapping and electrophysiological recording. We also elaborate on the recent development of single-neuron isolation, manipulation, and therapeutic progress using advanced micro/nanofluidic devices, as well as microinjection, electroporation, microelectrode array, optical transfection, optogenetic techniques.

  • The Patapsco Regional Greenway
    THE PATAPSCO REGIONAL GREENWAY THE PATAPSCO REGIONAL GREENWAY The Patapsco Regional Greenway (PRG) Concept Plan and Implementation Matrix identifies and prioritizes a shared-use path system along the Patapsco Valley between Sykesville and the Inner Harbor of Baltimore. This 58-mile system uses existing trails, roads and utility corridors to connect neighborhoods and destinations in Baltimore City and Baltimore, Anne Arundel, Howard and Carroll Counties. A completed greenway system will improve opportunities for transportation, recreation and economic development for communities along the route. Capitalize on the region’s existing trail system This plan identifies 58 miles of high quality shared use path facilities with 10 miles currently completed including the Waterfront Promenade, Gwynns Falls Trail, Grist Mill Trail and Freedom Park Trail. Proposed sections of the Patapsco Regional Greenway also create critical connections with the BWI Trail and B&A Trail, which extend south to Annapolis. Coordination is key to expanding the system The Patapsco Valley is home to many caretaker groups including the Patapsco Heritage Greenway, Friends of Patapsco Valley State Park and the Mid-Atlantic Off-Road Enthusiasts (MORE). These organizations contribute significantly to the maintenance and enhancement of existing greenway trails . Establishing a steering committee to guide the greenway’s expansion will help leverage existing support and coordinate various multijurisdictional efforts. For example, engaging volunteer labor can help to build 6 miles of the recommended natural surface trails. Plan ahead for improvements KEY STATISTICS To efficiently move toward completion of the greenway, complex projects, such as the shared-use path bridge from Cherry Hill to COMMUNITIES SERVED GREENWAY SYSTEM the Patapsco Light Rail station, must be incorporated into capital improvement programs.
