Urbanized areas often discharge large volumes of contaminated waste into coastal waters, which may pose a health risk to bathers at nearby beach areas. In this investigation the authors estimated the number of gastrointestinal and respiratory illness episodes associated with the microbial contamination of coastal waters among bathers at Southern California beaches from 2000 through 2004. Bather...

Recent extensive water quality surveys in Ireland revealed that diffuse phosphorus (P) pollution originating from agricultural land and transported by runoff and subsurface flows is the primary cause of the deterioration of surface water quality. P transport from land to water can be described by mathematical models that vary in modelling approach, complexity and scale (plot, field and catchmen...

Mutations in the gene encoding the Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein (WASP) are responsible for Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome and WASP is a major actin regulator in the cytoplasm. Although rare gain-of-function mutations in the WASP gene are known to result in X-linked neutropenia (XLN), the molecular pathogenesis of XLN is not fully understood. In this study, we showed that all reported constitutive...

Abstract We present improved physical parameters for four hot Jupiters: KELT-7 b, HAT-P-14 WASP-29 WASP-95 and a Neptune: WASP-156 by performing critical rigorous analysis of the time-series observations from Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). Being space-based telescope, transit photometric data obtained TESS are free any noise component due to interference Earth’s atmosphere. In ou...

The elemental compositions of hot Jupiters are informative relics of planet formation that can help us answer long-standing questions regarding the origin and formation of giant planets. Here, I present the main conclusions from a comprehensive atmospheric retrieval survey of eight hot Jupiters with detectable molecular absorption in their near-infrared transmission spectra. I analyze the eight...

The success of aquacultural production depends to a large extent on the water quality parameters. Maintaining water quality of aquacultural systems through adequate monitoring is paramount for increasing production. However, the cost of laboratory analysis involved discourages farmers from proper water quality monitoring, hence the deterioration of the fish environment and subsequent decrease i...

nowadays protecting land cover, quality and quantity of water resources are important. surface runoff is one of most important reasons of soil erosion which causes sediment in reservoirs and reduction of land’s fertility and also quality reduction water of rivers. so the main issue is exact prediction of basin runoff to raining events. the hydrologic models are simplified models of real hydrolo...
