Heat recovery and dissipation using shallow, buried exchangers are a recognised cost-effective renewable alternative to fossil fuels for space heating cooling. The efficiency of such ground heat (GHE) is dictated by the bulk thermal properties soil. These heavily influenced soil hydrological regime, which driven soil–atmosphere interaction. typically moist substrate profile Sustainable Drainage...

Substance use disorders (SUDs) are chronic, progressive conditions which usually develop over time. Most nurses with SUDs report substance use began before or during nursing school. As nursing students are vulnerable to SUDs involving prescription drugs, it seems plausible that student nurses may be able to make modifications in their behavior and circumstances if they had a tool by which to me...

Community-based studies have found a significant association between SUDs and sexual dysfunction in men, with a possible causal relation in the case of nicotine. Methods. The case records of 105 men presenting to a clinic for patients with psychosexual disorders were reviewed. Men with ...

This paper explores potential flood resilience approaches for the highly urbanised Wortley Beck river basin, south west of the City of Leeds, UK. Integrated 1D and 2D hydrodynamic modelling, using the ISIS and TUFLOW has been utilised to explore potential impact of SuDS on the flood hazard for three (1:15, 1:50 and 1:100) flood events. A direct rainfall runoff modelling approach has been employ...

Objectives: The Self-Determination Theory (SDT) posits that basic psychological needs (BPNs) are indispensable and vital nutrients for well-being. The present research was done to apply SDT to understand students’ well-being, which proposes that the realization and fulfillment of BPNs and subjective vitality significantly influence the overall well-being of an individual. Therefore, the current...

[Purpose] The present study investigated what kind of effect smart phone use has on dynamic postural balance. [Subjects] The study subjects were 30 healthy students in their 20's who were recruited from a University in Busan, Korea. [Methods] The present experiment was quasi-experimental research which measured the postural balance (Biodex) of subjects while they sent text messages via smart ph...
