Abstract The EU Commission published on the 26th of October 2022 its proposal for amending three central water management Directives, Water Framework Directive, Groundwater and Directive Environmental Quality Standards. introduces a series amendments changes to remedy shortcomings that were identified in previous fitness check European legislation align legal framework with scientific technical...

This paper examines relations among safety climate (safety attitudes and communication), psychological strains (psychological distress and job satisfaction), and safety performance (self-reported accident rates and occupational injuries). A questionnaire was administered to construction workers from 27 construction sites in Hong Kong (N = 374, M = 366, F = 8, mean age =36.68 years). Data were c...

An error occurs on Page 071302–3. The independent variable associated with the derivative of Ø1and Ø2 in Eqs. (6) and (7) is not described correctly.The right expressions for are (6)−(U1+∂Ø1∂x)∂η∂x+∂Ø1∂z=∂η∂t=−(U2+∂Ø2∂x)∂η∂x+∂Ø2∂zon z=η (7)−(U1)∂η∂x+∂Ø1∂z=∂η∂t=−(U2)∂η∂x+∂Ø2∂z z=0

Abstract This erratum corrects Eqs. (6) and (15), Table 1, Fig. 2 of the original article. An additional footnote is added at end first paragraph in Section III. Finally, discussing use energy-dependent width for $$\rho ^0$$ ? 0 propagator modified.

In this paper an alternative model allowing the extension of the Debye-Hückel Theory (DHT) considering time dependence explicitly is presented. From the Electro-Quasistatic approach (EQS) introduced in earlier studies time dependent potentials are suitable to describe several phenomena especially conducting media as well as the behaviour of charged particles (ions) in electrolytes. This leads t...

In replying to the comment (cond-mat/9807402), we point out that the statements by Avella, Mancini and Villani on our papers are simply wrong. Actually, they made simple mistakes and performed false calculations. We take cautions for the assertion that the exact relations for finite temperatures we found before can be simply extended down to zero temperature. In their recent comment [1], Avella...

The author proposes an alternative estimation technique for latent variable interactions and quadraties. Available techniques for specifying these variables in structural equation models require adding variables or constraint equations that can produce specification tedium and errors or estimation difficulties. The proposed technique avoids these difficulties and may be useful for EQS, LISREL 7...

Abstract Diclofenac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory human and veterinary medicine widely detected in European surface waters, especially downstream from Wastewater Treatment Plants. With some notable exceptions, uses of diclofenac Europe are greatly restricted, so wastewater the key Europe-wide exposure route for wildlife that may be exposed via aquatic environment. Proposed Environmental Q...

For a fixed Wilson parameter, r (usually equal to one) doublers may reappear as at is made small, which hinders simulations with at ≪ as. The solution proposed here is to treat the temporal and spatial directions differently. The temporal rotations are retained since such one-hop improvement terms ensure the transfer matrix is positive definite and no “ghost” states can propagate. Thus Eqs. 1 a...

Second, note that if we initialize λ to zero, it will always satisfy ∑ s:r∈R̄s λs(r) = 0, ∀r ∈ R. (This can be easily proved by induction by inspecting the updates in Eqs. 10 and 22.) Those conditions are simply the constraints of problem D (Eq. 7); hence, each iterate of the ADMM is guaranteed to produce a dual feasible solution. Furthermore, this property allows us to simplify the u-updates (E...
