A Solar Water Heater Using a Two-Stage Thermostat as a Pre-Heating System for a Feed Plant

Solar thermal heating is a mature technology for producing hot water in the domestic sector. Industrial processes require significant heat, so solar water heaters can be used for pre-heating. A forced- circulation solar water heater is installed in a feed plant that is located south of the Tropic of…

Combined Versus Singular Therapy of Coconut (Cocos nucifera L.) Water and Lime (Citrusaurantiifolia L) Juice in Diabetes Control: Impacts, Implications, and Therapeutic Differences

This study determined and compared the effects of single and combined therapy of coconut water and lime juice in diabetes control in male diabetic Wistar rats. Twenty eight male Wistar rats (weighing: 150-200g) were induced with diabetes mellitus using alloxan monohydrate solution (150mg/kg) and cat…

Molecular Approaches for Assessing Some Iranian Freshwater Fish Species

Monitoring fish biodiversity and its changes over time and their ecological research is one of the important sources of information in their protection. They can be used to find fish biodiversity at different times, such as the capture and maintenance of whole fish, genetic samples, or the use of sc…

Water Quality Analysis on Public and Household Water Sources – A Case Study of Sunyani-West District, Fiapre

Access to potable and quality water in most rural communities is low such that over 2.2 billion people worldwide are negatively affected. The increasing population in Fiapre and the inconsistent water supply by the Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL) have forced most residents to resort to alternativ…

Impact of Agricultural Land Use Practices on Water Quality in Lubigi Wetland

Wetland encroachment due to agricultural land use practices (LUPs) adversely affects water quality in wetlands mainly through agricultural runoff. This study was conducted in Lubigi wetland in Uganda to (1) determine the effect of the agricultural LUPs on water quality and (2) understand the relatio…

Climate Change Reduces Darling River Water Levels by Decreasing Eastern Australian Rainfall

Significantly decreased rainfall run-off into the dams that feed the Darling River in eastern Australia during the Millennium (1997–2009) and Tinderbox (2017 –2019) Droughts coincided with reduced river levels along the Darling River. The rainfall reduction was due to accelerated global warming sinc…

Total Daily Energy Expenditure is Overestimated by Dietary References Intake Equations Compared with Doubly Labeled Water in A Sample of Brazilian Adolescents

Objective This report aimed to compare the total daily energy expenditure (TDEE) of adolescents measured by doubly labeled water (DLW) with the 2005 and 2023 dietary reference intake (DRI) equations proposed by the Institute of Medicine (IOM) in a sample of Brazilian adolescents. Methodology: This i…

Development of Municipal Decision-Making Strategies as Management Tools to Combat Waterborne Diseases

Waterborne diseases pose a significant global public health threat, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, where frequent outbreaks occur. These diseases stemming from contaminated drinking water, poor waste management, and insufficient hygiene contribute to high morbidity and mortality in children und…

Response of Sorghum Varieties to Organic and Inorganic Fertilizer Strategies in Sudan Savanna of Nigeria: Productivity, Nitrogen, and Water Use Efficiencies

Experiments were conducted to evaluate the response of different sorghum varieties to micro-dosing fertilization strategies on yield and yield traits, as well as the impact on nitrogen fertilizer and water use efficiency (NUE and WUE). In addition, the benefit-cost ratio of sorghum cultivation under…

Correlation Between Biochemical Oxygen Demand And Chemical Oxygen Demand, At High Salinity Bioreactor-Based, Wastewater Treatment Plant In Al-Hasa Saudi Arabia.

This study aims to determine an empirical relationship between the biological and chemical oxygen demands of industrial effluent running through the membrane bio reactor-based Al-Hasa common industrial wastewater treatment Plant. The relationship between these two parameters was investigated over on…

Groundwater in Southwestern Algeria: An Essential Heritage and Keys to Development

A regional overview describes groundwater resources in Southwestern Algeria, assessing challenges and strategies for sustainable development under climatic and demand pressures.

Formalization of correlational studies of water problems

A methodological note proposes formal structures for correlational studies of water problems. It emphasizes variable definition, confounding control, and reproducibility.

Functional properties of Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) and Pumpkin seed flours and protein isolate

The current study was intended to evaluate the chemical composition, functional properties, of some cucurbits seed. watermelon (Citrullus lanatus), and Pumpkin (Cucurbita maxima), were studied. Proximate analysis gave 17.09% -17.07% protein, 35.55%-39.0% fat,6.00% - 5.5% total ash, 24.9%-2.6% crude…

The Adverse Effects of Underwater Sound upon Fishes and Invertebrates

Underwater sound is very important to most fishes and invertebrates. Underwater sounds from both natural and human sources can have adverse effects upon aquatic animals, and especially fishes, and invertebrates. It is important to examine the effects of sound upon them, and especially the effects of…
