A conceptual model of water and solute transport pathways was developed and applied to a pasture hillslope in the southwestern Brazilian Amazon basin using select field measurements. Infiltration-excess or Horton overland flow (HOF), saturation overland flow (SOF), and groundwater in both the near-stream zone and upslope were sampled on a hillslope draining a 3Ð9 hectare pasture for a total of ...

In this study, the efficiency of household reverse-osmosis system (HROS) with and without neutralizer accessory was investigated in both real and synthetic samples. The real samples were collected from rural and urban public drinking-water systems with and without primary refinery treatment. The selected areas were situated in the Kurdistan province, Iran. The HROS model RO100GPD with and witho...

Compost from pine bark has been previously suggested as an effective low-cost biosorbent for different classes of textile dyes, although the existing studies have performed in non-competitive batch conditions, so effect competition or adsorption continuous-flow conditions not assessed. In this work, removal Basic Violet 10 (BV10) and Direct Blue 151 (DB151) by compost single bi-solute mixtures ...

T he greatest benefit of peritoneal dialysis (PD) is the continuous nature of the therapy, which results in steady-state levels of electrolytes as well as fluid and acid–base balance. A continuous sodium removal reduces water intake and makes appropriate fluid management possible, even if the ultrafiltration (UF) volume is small. Peritoneal dialysis is also beneficial in maintaining residual re...

Ice-templating has become an increasingly popular synthetic tool in the materials science community. In this review, we focus on role of solute–freezing front interactions, and particularly solute–solute determining self-assembled structure that results from ice templating.

A stream solute workshop was held February 1-5,1989, at The University of Mississippi with the goals of 1) suggesting a conceptual model for stream solute studies that integrates physical, chemical, and biological processes, and 2) identifying advantages and limitations of various methods for studying solute transport and exchanges. Solute dynamics refers to the spatial and temporal patterns of...
