In recent years, there has been considerable interest in social capital theory in both research and policy arenas. Social capital has been associated with many aspects of improvements in health, environment and development. This paper assesses the theoretical support for a social capital based analysis of environment and health issues with a focus on the water-health nexus in low and middle inc...

One of the most important processes in today's industrial world, the Nexus Interaction, is known as Water, Soil and Wastewater (WSW). The purpose of this research is to provide a network model that can be used to determine the state of the hazards caused by Irrigation of land with untreated municipal wastewater. Methods of this study include the stages: knowledge of the study area, quantitative...

This work presents definitions and metrics developed for quantifying the resilience of electric power system (EPS) while considering its interdependent operation with water distribution (WDS). These are used within a novel formulation in order to determine EPS during coordinated real-time two systems where both operational state infrastructural configuration is taken into account. Coordinated i...

The quest to improve the mired development challenges of developing economies at a global scale have in recent years constituted policy imprimatur discourse, including role national and local resources. “Nexus” is an ultra-prioritized integrative approach. It denotes connection(s) linking two or more phenomena variables. therefore not surprising witness of-the-moment approaches such as developm...

Determination of copy number variants (CNVs) inferred in genome wide single nucleotide polymorphism arrays has shown increasing utility in genetic variant disease associations. Several CNV detection methods are available, but differences in CNV call thresholds and characteristics exist. We evaluated the relative performance of seven methods: circular binary segmentation, CNVFinder, cnvPartition...

This perspective highlights a place for Health (H) in the Water, Energy, and Water (WEF) nexus. It reviews reference to health WEF nexus literature makes case its inclusion into Nexus. We argue that although concept of water, energy, food is relatively recent, it has been adopted by several UN agencies international organizations will continue draw emphasis research, politics communications sci...
