Determining Priorities Concerning Water Distribution Network Rehabilitation

Determining suitable model for zoning drinking water distribution network based on corrosion potential in Sanandaj City, Iran

Corrosion in general is a complex interaction between water and metal surfaces and materials in which the water is stored or transported. Water quality monitoring in terms of corrosion and scaling is crucial, and a key element of preventive maintenance, given the economic and health hurts caused by corrosion and scaling in water utilities. The aim of this study is to determine the best model fo...

Measurement techniques concerning droplet size distribution of electrosprayed water

The carefully-sized electrospraying of water is an important research problem because of wide use of sprays of water and aqueous solutions in many fields of industry and agriculture. The size of water droplets (or aqueous solutions) and its distribution is essential for various applications of aerosols. The measurement of size of electrosprayed water using laser-based measurement techniques is ...

Determining the Needs, Priorities, and Desired Rehabilitation Outcomes of Young Adults Who Have Had a Stroke

Background. Guidelines state that young adults' (aged 18-55 years) rehabilitation needs and priorities following stroke are different from older adults'. However, there is a lack of evidence regarding young adults' perspectives of their needs and priorities. Aim. To gain an understanding of young adults' experience of stroke and associated rehabilitation needs, priorities, and desired outcomes....

Water distribution network renewal planning

This paper provides an overview of the authors’ previous work in formulating a comprehensive approach to the important problem of water distribution network renewal planning, with a particular emphasis on the computing aspects involved. As pipes in a water distribution network age in service, they are characterized by increased frequency of breakage and decreased hydraulic capacity. The resulti...
