WATER QUALITY INDEX AS AN TOOL FOR RIVER ASSESSMENT IN AGRICULTURAL AREAS IN THE PAMPEAN PLAINS OF ARGENTINA

The contributions of nutrients and xenobiotics by anthropogenic activities developed in riverside deteriorate water quality. In this context, the impact of different agroindustry effluents on the water quality of Salado River in Buenos Aire...

Computational methods meet in vitro techniques: A case study on fusaric acid and its possible detoxification through cytochrome P450 enzymes

Mycotoxins are known environmental pollutants that may contaminate food and feed chains. Some mycotoxins are regulated in many countries to limit the trading of contaminated and harmful commodities. However, the so-called emerging mycotoxin...

Fluid Mud and Nautical Bottom – Concept and Application in Itajaí Port Complex (Brazil)

Considering the demand for mooring larger ships at Brazilian port terminals, both private and public, in a scenario of growing exports, engineering interventions that can provide improvements in the vessel’s maximum allowed dimensions can r...

Ignition and Combustion Characteristics of Heavy Oil in Supercritical Hydrothermal Conditions

At present, the characteristics of supercritical hydrothermal combustion for heavy oils remain unclear, which severely limits the application of this process. In this work, the effect of key parameters on the characteristics of supercritica...

Hybrid Fuel Cell—Supercritical CO₂ Brayton Cycle for CO₂ Sequestration-Ready Combined Heat and Power

The low prices and its relatively low carbon intensity of natural gas have encouraged the coal replacement with natural gas power generation. Such a replacement reduces greenhouse gases and other emissions. To address the significant energy...

Air Conditioning Compressor Air Leak Detection by Image Processing Techniques for Industrial Applications

This paper presents method to detect air leakage of an air conditioning compressor using image processing techniques. Quality of air conditioning compressor should not have air leakage. To test an air conditioning compressor leak, air is pu...

Regional and strain-level prevalence of nitrogen-fixing Bradyrhizobium with potential N2O reduction in South Korea

Abstract Agricultural practices are the largest anthropogenic source of nitrous oxide (N2O), a potent greenhouse gas contributing to global climate change. Applying symbiotic microbial inoculants capable of complete denitrification offers a...

Pyrolysis and Pyrolysis Reoxidation Combustion Characteristics of Lignite

Coal, as the main energy source for building heating in northern cities of China, features large reserves, low cost, and high stability in heat supply. Low-temperature pyrolysis reactions are prone to occur within the coal pile; the coal af...

Adaptive Health-Aware Fast Charging Strategy Development for Preventing Lithium Plating Based on Digital Twin Model

Developing smart fast charging strategies can effectively balance the charging efficiency and battery performance. The current mainstream method is to optimize fast charging protocols based on electrochemical models that quantitatively dete...

Intention-based and sensory-based predictions

Abstract We inhabit a continuously changing world, where the ability to anticipate future states of the environment is critical for adaptation. Anticipation can be achieved by learning about the causal or temporal relationship between senso...

Development and Validation of Adolescent Educational Package Based on the Lived Experiences of Hopeful Adolescent Girls Aged 15–18 Years

Background: Adolescence is one of the most vulnerable stages of development, and the level of hope is one of the protective and helpful factors during this period; the level of hope in adolescents, especially girls, is low, and since indige...
