This paper analyzes the relationships between the values and dispersion of residential properties and the environmental-health quality of their locations. It constructs residents’ health-adjusted lifetime-utility function by combining satisfaction from consumption over the lifespan with risk to life from living in an environmentally unhealthy location. It employs this utility function to analyz...

The design and development of an enhanced network infrastructure in combination with the adoption of new technologies, standards and architectural styles for the design, development and implementation of new platforms can give a significant push to the deployment of advanced mobile services in the area of public administration. In this context, we present an innovative mgovernment platform that...

We investigate the processes that influence residence time in a partially mixed estuary using a threedimensional circulation model. The complex geometry of the study region is not optimal for a structured grid model and so we developed a new method of grid connectivity. This involves a novel approach that allows an unlimited number of individual grids to be combined in an efficient manner to pr...

In order to investigate the effects of pyrolysis conditions and oxidation on the retention potential of ammonium by biochar in aqueous solution, biochars were produced frommixedmaple wood at different pyrolysis temperatures (300, 400, 500, 600, 700 C) and residence times (5, 60, 120, 400, 800 min) and adsorption and desorption was determined. Hydrogen peroxide was used to oxidize the biochars w...

OBJECTIVE To find the effects of prokinetics, saline cathartics and different charcoal doses on the gastrointestinal transit and residence times of activated charcoal (AC). SETTING Five undergraduate volunteers of College of Health Sciences, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Nnewi Campus, Anambra State, Nigeria, were studied. METHODS After an overnight fast, the volunteers were given 10 g and 20 g...
