چکیده
Anticipating population growth and future droughts, many water systems with supply constraints have implemented potable reuse or are studying its potential. The technology operations well understood, once conservation efficiency efforts maximized, may be the most feasible option for communities. As full-scale has become a reality over past 20 years, there been campaigns to engage public both against it. And while is now generally accepted even considered sustainable in some cases, it just can't catch break media. It's common find emotion-inducing language headlines, such as term toilet-to-tap—e.g., “Ready not, ‘toilet tap’ recycled wastewater coming spigot near you” (The Kansas City Star, May 2021). great when news outlets explore an important topic like this, but example from Star begins fictional dystopian futures ends by comparing drinking “wearing Hitler's sweater”—not helpful images build case reuse. Toilet-to-tap catchy—poetic even—but professionals should cringe they see because it's not correct reinforces wrong ideas about Unfortunately, easy mentally connect toilet tap, that moment of shock disgust, false completely negative understanding entrenched. truth multiple treatment barriers, natural engineered, goes through on path much more complex than simple notion tap.

Slanted Orthogonal Drawings: Model, Algorithms and Evaluations
We introduce a new model in the context of non-planar orthogonal graph drawing that we call slanted orthogonal graph drawing. While in traditional orthogonal drawings each edge is made of alternating axis-aligned line segments, in slanted orthogonal drawings intermediate diagonal segments on the edges are permitted, which allows for: (a) smoothening the bends of the produced drawing (as they ar...

متن کاملEvolution of Slanted Edge Gradient SFR Measurement
The well-established Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) is an imaging performance parameter that is well suited to describing certain sources of detail loss, such as optical focus and motion blur. As performance standards have developed for digital imaging systems, the MTF concept has been adapted and applied as the spatial frequency response (SFR). The international standard for measuring digi...
