Paleogeographic maps are essential tools for understanding Earth system dynamics. They provide boundary conditions climate and geodynamic modelling, analysing surface processes biotic interactions. However, the temporal spatial distribution of key features such as seaways mountain belts that govern changes interchange differ between various paleogeographies require regular updates with new data...

In bioreactor landfill, the leachate flow and moisture distribution depend upon saturated and unsaturated hydraulic properties of municipal solid waste (MSW). The effects of unsaturated parameters have not been studied because of scarcity of the data and variation in unsaturated parameters due to MSW heterogeneity, degree of decomposition, and pore structure. In this study, a numerical two-phas...

Cities around the world should prioritize management of municipal solid waste (MSW). For this to be effective, there is a strong need buildup complex system that involves social, economic, and environmental processes, leading supply chain (SC). The actors involved in dealing with MSW—from suppliers, collectors, distributors, industries, managers—should engaged strategic planning. This paper foc...

Municipal solid waste management (MSWM) is one of the major environmental problems of Indian cities. Improper management of municipal solid waste (MSW) causes hazards to inhabitants. Various studies reveal that about 90% of MSW is disposed of unscientifically in open dumps and landfills, creating problems to public health and the environment. In the present study, an attempt has been made to pr...

Portugal, with 210,422 tonnes of glass recycled in 2011, did not attain the target for glass (227,060 tonnes), and this happened probably due to three factors: the reuse of this material since glass is a durable material, non-declaration of glass received by MRF (Material Recovery Facilities) and nondeposition in the specific stream. In 2011 were produced in Portugal, 5.159 million tonnes of Mu...

Clinical efficacies of mutant prevention concentration (MPC) and mutant selection window (MSW) hypotheses have been evaluated for human clinical isolates. We tested the MSW hypothesis by evaluating the relationships between MPCs and mutation frequencies against enrofloxacin for avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) isolates. Mutation frequencies of strains with MPC:MIC ratios of 8 to 16 were...
