Upslope flows are a crucial mechanism in the transport of air pollutants in complex terrain, both as separate flow systems and as part of other thermally driven flows. Resolving steep complex terrain in numerical models requires horizontal resolutions that are difficult to achieve. Water-tank models of upslope flows provide additional insights but require idealizations that have typically limit...

With the rapid development of intelligent buildings, a lot of researchers have found that it is difficult to establish mathematical model when the problem that energy-saving in water supply system of an intelligent building tank is focused, because that the outflow of the tank volume is volatile when the water is daily living water. In this paper, fuzzy control theory is used to establish a flu...

Worldwide transfer and introduction of non-indigenous species in ballast water causes significant environmental and economic impact. One way to address this problem is to remove or inactivate organisms that are found in ballast water. In this study, 3 experiments were conducted in Puget Sound, Washington, USA, using a prototype ozone treatment system installed on a commercial oil tanker, the S/...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of the quality of publicly supplied water in domestic water tanks on egg laying by female Aedes aegypti. METHODS Laboratory study on immature Ae. aegypti, collected from water-tanks in the municipality of Potim, SP, Southeastern Brazil. Each cage contained three types of water in which eggs could be laid: Three choice per test were simultaneously used to depos...

Background: The proportion of households that use tank rainwater as their main source of drinking water is similar to the proportion using reticulated public mains supplies in South Australia. However, little is known about risk to health from consuming rainwater. Aims: (1) To determine whether the risk of gastroenteritis among children who drank tank rainwater differed from that of children wh...
