High-Temperature – Aquifer Thermal Energy Storage (HT-ATES) can significantly increase Renewable Sources (RES) capacity and storage temperature levels compared to traditional ATES, while improving efficiency. Combined assessment of subsurface performance surface District Heating Networks (DHN) is key, but poses challenges for dimensioning, energy flow matching, techno-economic the joint system....

Maintaining the quality of hydrochemical parameters during trout farming in open farms is one key tasks aquaculture. This article examines composition well water and determines its suitability for commercial breeding rainbow (Oncorhynchus mykiss). It also noted that on from artesian springs has many advantages, such as: constant water, microbiological purity optimal temperature growing marketab...

Few field measurements are available to constrain the diffuse discharge (or vertical leakage) component of the water balance of the Great Artesian Basin (GAB), even though numerical modelling indicates that it accounts for over half of the outflow of the GAB in South Australia. High leakage rates are observed along the southwestern margin of the GAB where the aquifer is close to the surface wit...

A cloud-point extraction (CPE) method using the surfactant (30)p-tert-octylphenol polyoxyethylene (OPEO30) was proposed as the preceding step for the determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Given the need for surfactant derivatization before the chromatographic analysis, the reaction conditions of coacervate derivatization were s...

Chronic arsenic intoxication has been an issue of public health concern in some countries in Asia, such as Taiwan, Mainland China, Bangladesh, India, and Thailand. In Taiwan, an endemic peripheral vascular disease known as ‘blackfoot disease’ (BFD) located in a confined area along the southwestern coast of Taiwan attracted the attention of the government and the scientific professionals since m...

GEOLOGISTS have long known that carbon dioxide may collect in underground workings and in sufficient concentration may cause loss of consciousness and death (Geological Survey and Museum, 1951). It is known that the gas is likely to be expelled when the barometric pressure falls abruptly to low levels. Asphyxiation by carbon dioxide produced in the process of fermentation in breweries and durin...
