Abstract The development of computational tools based on urban drainage models is fundamental for the correct selection SUDS. present study proposes a systematic approach continuous modeling USEPA SWMM. objective was to select most suitable Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS) by evaluating several aspects related their design and configuration. proposed methodology applied conceptual wate...

INTRODUCTION According to a recent United States (U.S.) national survey on drug use and health, substance use disorders (SUDs) characterized by hazardous use of alcohol, nonprescribed drugs, and illicit drugs are common. In 2013, 22.7 million persons (8.6% of persons aged 12 years or older) needed treatment for an illicit drug or alcohol-use problem (1). Drug use disorders produce a wide variet...

Heat recovery and dissipation using shallow, buried exchangers are a recognised cost-effective renewable alternative to fossil fuels for space heating cooling. The efficiency of such ground heat (GHE) is dictated by the bulk thermal properties soil. These heavily influenced soil hydrological regime, which driven soil–atmosphere interaction. typically moist substrate profile Sustainable Drainage...

Objective. There is a paucity of research on substance use disorders (SUDs) in the elderly psychiatric population. This study examines SUDs in a geriatric psychiatry inpatient service over a 10-year period. Methods. Data from 1788 elderly psychiatric inpatients from a ten-year period was collected. Variables collected included psychiatric diagnoses, SUD, number of psychiatric admissions, and le...

This study explored the clinical importance of latent impulsivity subtypes within a sample of individuals with substance use disorders (SUDs) and high rates of co-occurring disorders (CODs) receiving residential treatment, aiming to assess the heterogeneity of the associations between SUDs and CODs across such impulsivity subtypes. The abbreviated Barratt impulsiveness scale was used to assess ...

BACKGROUND Children of parents with a substance use disorder (CPSUD) are at increased risk for developing problematic substance use later in life. Endophenotypes may help to clarify the mechanism behind this increased risk. However, substance use and externalizing symptoms may confound the relation between dysregulated physiological stress responding and familial risk for substance use disorder...

The shared genetic basis of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and substance use disorders (SUDs) was explored by investigating the association of candidate risk factors in neurotransmitter genes with both disorders. One hundred seven methadone maintenance treatment patients, 36 having an ADHD diagnosis, 176 adult patients with ADHD without SUDs, and 500 healthy controls were genot...

A life stage perspective is necessary for development of age-appropriate strategies to address substance use disorders (SUDs) and related health conditions in order to produce better overall health and well-being. The current review evaluated the literature across three major life stages: adolescence, adulthood, and older adulthood. FINDINGS 1) Substance use is often initiated in adolescence,...
