Short time dynamics of water coalescence on a flat water pool

A simplified model to predict diurnal water temperature dynamics in a shallow tropical water pool.

Water temperature is a critical regulator in the growth and development of malaria mosquito immatures, as they are poikilothermic. Measuring or estimating the diurnal temperature ranges to which these immatures are exposed is of the utmost importance, as these immatures will develop into adults that can transmit malaria. Recent attempts to predict the daily water temperature dynamics in mosquit...

Response time of a canal pool for scheduled water delivery

Estimating the response time of a canal is essential for the open-loop control of an irrigation canal, since upstream flow releases must be anticipated in order to satisfy scheduled demands at irrigation outlets. We consider a flow release at the upstream end of a pool in order to satisfy a side withdrawal at its downstream end. When theflow is released, wave travel time causes the flow change ...

Cell water dynamics on multiple time scales.

Water-biomolecule interactions have been extensively studied in dilute solutions, crystals, and rehydrated powders, but none of these model systems may capture the behavior of water in the highly organized intracellular milieu. Because of the experimental difficulty of selectively probing the structure and dynamics of water in intact cells, radically different views about the properties of cell...

Allergic to Pool Water

To identify the allergy problem of a 36-year old swimming instructor, who experiences heavy itching and rashes whenever she comes in contact with pool water. Patch tests were performed with European standard series and materials from the work floor. A positive patch test to aluminum chloride and flocculant was observed. Occupational dermatitis is, based on a contact allergy to aluminum chloride...
