Abstract Dive studies across mammals, birds, reptiles and fish often focus on deep dives, shallow water diving has tended to be overlooked. For air-breathers, foraging in poses challenges since the lungs generate buoyancy, divers must trade off extent of inhalation against negative buoyancy needed avoid floating surface. Using high-resolution depth loggers, we addressed this knowledge gap aroun...

the growing scarcity of fresh water is driving the implementation of wastewater treatment and water reuse on an increasingly large scale. various methods have been developed and used for water reuse from wastewater; however, the membrane distillation (md) process, as a promising separation technology, has recently gained more attention. the md process is a non-isothermal membrane-based separati...

There is a pressing need to improve the water-use efficiency of rain-fed and irrigated crop production. Breeding crop varieties with higher water-use efficiency is seen as providing part of the solution. Three key processes can be exploited in breeding for high water-use efficiency: (i) moving more of the available water through the crop rather than it being wasted as evaporation from the soil ...

This whitepaper describes a highly scalable fluidic technology that presents a transformative approach to the practice of conventional water treatment. Features include: a high throughput, purely fluidic, continuous flow, membrane-less, size selective method for particulate extraction; and accelerated agglomeration kinetics from mixing and transporting chemicals and raw water in confined channe...

A computed list of H2 O infra-red transition frequencies and intensities is presented. The list, BT2, was produced using a discrete variable representation two-step approach for solving the rotation-vibration nuclear motions. It is the most complete water line list in existence, comprising over 500 million transitions (65% more than any other list) and it is also the most accurate (over 90% of ...

2 Research method Different methods of coal processing into fuel [1, 6, 12] usually require its intensive comminution. Such situation needs the creation of new technologies for coal micronization [4, 11, 17] that enlarge specific surface of coal micro particles what finally intensifies burning process of such coal dust. Some interesting effects of water-coal mixture ensure waterjetting technolo...
