With molecular simulation for water and a tunable hydrophobic substrate, we apply the instantaneous interface construction [A.] to examine the similarity between a water-vapor interface and a water-hydrophobic surface interface. The intrinsic interface refers to molecular struc...

environmental protection has become one of the main concerns in developed economies, which is why an increasing degree of commitment in the field is required from all public and private bodies. environmental protection in firms must cease to be a secondary, barely profitable objective, involving the performance of sporadic remedial actions, and become just one more element of their organization...

The crystal structure of the title compound, {[Na(C(7)H(5)ClNO(2))(H(2)O)(3)]·H(2)O}(n), features polymeric chains along [010]. The Na(+) cation is octa-hedrally coordinated by four bridging water mol-ecules, a terminal water mol-ecule and an O atom derived from a monodentate carboxyl-ate ligand. Adjacent polyhedra share two O⋯O edges. The polymeric chains are linked into a three-dimensional ne...

The title compound, Th(V(2)O(7))(H(2)O)(2), was synthesized by a hydro-thermal reaction. The crystal structure consists of ThO(7)(OH(2))(2) tricapped trigonal prisms that share edges, forming [ThO(5)(OH(2))(2)](n) chains along [010]. The edge-sharing ThO(7)(OH(2))(2) polyhedra share one edge and five vertices with the V(2)O(7) divanadate anions having a nearly ecliptic conformation parallel to ...

Peri-urban interfaces tend to ensure water supply relying on their surrounding’ resources, generating disputes when asking for collaboration. The urban-rural matrix of the Marina Baja county in southern Spain is characterized by inland irrigation and coastal tourism development, being most water-intensive activities Benidorm. This contribution addresses following research question: Can a better...

Formation correct view this issue is a precondition for redistribution property in accordance law inherited property, both court notarial practices. In turn, proper directly related protection inheritance rights. why studied does not lose its urgency. T...

Agriculture plays a key role in the management of water use. Especially in Greece, irrigation is an essential element of agricultural production and agricultural water use has a substantial share in total water use. The presented study illustrates the key features of the IRMA_SYSTEM, a regional, user-friendly computer/mobile-based, open and free modular software for estimating site specific cro...
