The foot is an important element of the locomotor apparatus and performs a number functions in our body. Abnormalities its shape can affect everyday functioning. Therefore, it worth paying attention to proper development feet children. aim study was assess dynamics changes selected parameters younger children school age. involved 70 observations were conducted twice same children, aged 5 9 year...

Faecal sludge deposited into the pit latrine is subject to biodegradation. The aim of this research was develop model for filling rate faeces in ordinary together with effect shape factor on such fillings prepare minds users characteristics based contents, usage and environmental factors. Consequently, faecal sludges sampled from 100 pits already filled were subjected laboratory analyses their ...

A comprehensive literature review was performed to create an inventory of thermal-physiological quantities for fabrics from different fiber materials, material blends, and fabric structures. The goal derive over-arching concepts that cannot be seen by the individual studies alone. Equations best fits suggest non-linear changes thickness, thermal water-vapor resistance with in blend ratio. Air p...

Construction on weak subsoil is a reoccurring challenge for engineers nowadays, which various different solutions are available. Geosynthetics getting more and popular one of their most widely used application reinforcement. Several types geosynthetics can be used, the well-known vertical drains geogrids. Prefabricated accelerating consolidation in oversaturated soils with high water content as...

Self-management is a multi-modal approach for managing chronic conditions that encompasses number of different elements; knowledge, adherence, self-regulation, communication, and cognitive factors. has been shown to be beneficial adults with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), children IBD it may help them learn take control their complex treatment regimens lead positive outcomes. The development...

This article describes a strategic concept for the Lithuanian bioeconomy that was developed as deliverable of Task 1.5 in BIOEAST’sUP H2020 project. We aimed to create conceptual basis preparation national strategy and/or action plan order initiate deeper discussion about strategically oriented development knowledge-based circular Lithuania. Our insights are focused on two niche energy s...

There are more than 150 ports in China and a considerable proportion of dredged sediments waterways contaminated with heavy metals as the typical contaminants. It is mandatory to remediate prior further resource utilization. The over-arching objective this study was use natural organic acids (oxalic acid, citric tartaric malic acid) leaching agents remove (Cu, Cd, Pb) from sediments. Batch expe...

The application of models to predict concentrations of faecal indicator organisms (FIOs) in environmental systems plays an important role for guiding decision-making associated with the management of microbial water quality. In recent years there has been an increasing demand by policy-makers for models to help inform FIO dynamics in order to prioritise efforts for environmental and human-healt...
