OBJECTIVE Research is limited on whether mistrust of tap water discourages plain water intake and leads to a greater intake of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB). The objective of the present study was to examine demographic differences in perceptions of tap water safety and determine if these perceptions are associated with intake of SSB and plain water. DESIGN The study examined perceptions of...

The chaotic characteristics and maximum predictable time scale of the observation series of hourly water consumption in Hangzhou were investigated using the advanced algorithm presented here is based on the conventional Wolf's algorithm for the largest Lyapunov exponent. For comparison, the largest Lyapunov exponents of water consumption series with one-hour and 24-hour intervals were calculate...

OBJECTIVE To examine the efficacy of an enhanced intervention (EI) compared to standard care (SC) in increasing daily water intake and fluid goal adherence in children seeking treatment for retentive encopresis. METHODS Changes in beverage intake patterns and fluid adherence were examined by comparing 7-week diet diary data collected during participation in the EI to achieved data for familie...

The critical public health need to assess and protect the drinking water used by 37 million Americans requires attention and resources. NCEH, in partnership with states, has begun the process to identify information available on unregulated drinking water sources to improve the availability of data to support decisive public health actions and resource allocation. Far more attention and resourc...

Jordan was late in adopting seawater and brackish water desalination as a source until the 1990s early 2000s. However, ongoing studies are still discussing technical, economic, socio-political aspects of reverse osmosis (BWRO) plants. In this study, water–energy nexus considered, order to highlight main challenges facing BWRO desalination. We discuss use photovoltaic (PV) technology, together w...

In this study, the effects of strain Beauveria bassiana (LPSC 1067) as an endophyte in corn plants on consumption, fecundity, and food preference of Dichroplus maculipennis were examined. We observed that the daily consumption by grasshoppers fed with control plants was almost twice that of those that were fed treated plants. Significant differences in fecundity of grasshoppers that were fed wi...

Considering the importance of water in local communities and development Concentrated Solar Thermal Power (CSP) projects arid regions, footprint analysis finding water-saving solutions towards optimized use raw resources CSP plants are essential. Within this study, we present an integrated simulation tool for a comprehensive including wastewater streams, treatment units, cost treatment. The mod...

Abstract The information communication technology sector will experience huge growth over the coming years, with 29.3 billion devices expected online by 2030, up from 18.4 in 2018. To reliably support services used these billions of users, data centres have been built around world to provide millions servers they contain access power, cooling and internet connectivity. Whilst energy consumption...

with the increasing installed capacity of desalination, the greenhouse gas emission for generating the required energy to power the desalination plants is also becoming the focus of attention in the world community. domestic reverse osmosis membranes have been very successful technology especially in the developing world to provide safe drinking water. the novel concept of photovoltaic powered ...
