Urban water management has somewhat changed since the publication of The Sustainable Drainage System (SuDS) Manual in 2007 [1], transforming from building traditional sewers to implementing SuDS, which are part of the best management practice techniques used in the USA and seen as contributing to water-sensitive urban design in Australia. Most SuDS, such as infiltration trenches, swales, green ...

No single energy resource can sustainably meet the energy demands of any country. Integrating all exploitable energy sources is a viable way of achieving stability in energy supply for Nigeria. Hence, the paper focuses on the role of energy mix in sustainable development of Nigeria. Secondary data was analyzed using linear regression (Ordinary Least Square) estimation procedure to measure the i...

The purpose of this thesis is to study how synergies of Total Quality Management (TQM) and Sustainable Development (SD) can be realized. Emphasis has been on increasing the focus on processes. A process based change model for SD has been developed. The model should be applicable for all types of organizations, but with a particular focus on organizations in the Third World. During the last deca...

Emerging zoonoses with pandemic potential are a stated priority for the global health security agenda, but endemic zoonoses also have a major societal impact in low-resource settings. Although many endemic zoonoses can be treated, timely diagnosis and appropriate clinical management of human cases is often challenging. Preventive 'One Health' interventions, e.g. interventions in animal populati...

Abstract Chromium manganese austenitic stainless steel is exhibiting an admirable amalgamation of higher strength and stress corrosion resistance. This economical developed to fulfill the requirement a variety consumers for high temperature structural applications. Hitherto, limitation associate with TIG welding process low depth penetration which reduces productivity. Activated tungsten inert ...

A convenient and sustainable protocol for the aerobic oxidation of benzyl alcohols to carbonyl compounds, based on the use of 1,2,4-triazole-type ligands and nickel(II) bromide, is described. This combination leads to the formation of an exceedingly active, enzyme-like system that allows for other oxidative processes, such as benzylic C-H oxidation and oxygen-mediated cleavage of C-C triple bon...
