A continuation of previous work, the study provides a comparative analysis of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles to conventional internal combustion and hybrid engines, examining both life-cycle energy use and greenhouse gas emissions. The analysis is based on projected improvements to the technologies through the year 2020. The study finds no significant projected difference in energy use or greenhouse emissions between fuel cell and hybrid technology during this time period.

The document is an annual report of the activities of the MIT Nepali Water Project. The purpose of the project is to improve drinking water quality in Nepal through reduction in contamination of pathogens and arsenic. The major project activities are evaluation of water testing technology to detect contaminants, including finding indicator species for microbial contamination, and investigation of purification technologies that are feasible in a low income region.
Written by students from MIT Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering Masters of Engineering Program: Yong Xuan Gao, Chian Siong Low, Luca Morganti, Barika Poole, Soon Kyu Hwang, Heather Lukacs, Tommy Ngai and Hannah Sullivan. Team Advisor: Susan Murcott.

The authors analyzed groundwater flow through 3 different areas, each having various patterns of fluid conductivity. The flow of groundwater is mathematically analyzed, and used to critique current theory on fluid dynamics. Their main conclusion is that two dimensional fields that may seem very similar under conventional conductivity models may actually have very different patterns of fluid transport and flow.

The article examines the interactions of two toxic chemicals, nitrate and arsenic, in a contaminated lake. The researchers find that the presence of nitrates in a lake may affect the cycling of arsenic and other metals through the lake systems, and may affect how much arsenic is available to affect humans and other organisms.
