Holy springs and holy water: underestimated sources of illness?

Use of holy springs and holy water is inherent in religious activities. Holy spring water is also used extensively for personal drinking water, although not assessed according to drinking water standards. Holy water in churches and chapels may cause infections via wetting of lips and sprinkling on persons. Our aim was to assess the microbiological and chemical water quality of holy springs and ...

Evaluation of the Valuable Oxygenated Components in Iranian Rose Water

Rose water is one of the most important products obtained from Rosa genus (Rosaceae). Although Iran is one of the main producers of rose water, limited research has been done on it. A simple distillation and a Clevenger-type apparatus were used to obtain rose water and rose oil. All the volatile concentrates were investigated for their chemical composition by gas chromatography (GC) and gas chr...

Interpreting the temperature of water at cold springs and the importance of gravitational potential energy

[1] Circulating groundwater transports heat. If groundwater flow velocities are sufficiently high, most of the subsurface heat transport can occur by advection. This is the case, for example, in the Cascades volcanic arc where much of the background geothermal heat is transported advectively and then discharged when the groundwater emerges at springs. The temperature of spring water can thus be...

Koopmans' springs to life.

The meaning of orbital energies (OOEs) in Kohn-Sham (KS) density functional theory (DFT) is subject to a longstanding controversy. In local, semilocal, and hybrid density functionals (DFs) a Koopmans' approach, where OOEs approximate negative ionization potentials (IPs), is unreliable. We discuss a methodology based on the Baer-Neuhauser-Livshits range-separated hybrid DFs for which Koopmans' a...
