The media has been found to have an impact on public debate, public opinion, and public policy agendas. Public debate, and public opinion about water conservation and water supply management projects matter because they can influence specific outcomes. For example, public opinion can potentially lead to positive behaviour, like increased water conservation, or potentially negative behaviours su...

Fractal models of porous media are of interest in numerous scientific disciplines, including hydrology and soil science. This interest arises in part from the ability of these models to parsimoniously produce highly complex and richly structured geometries. Examination of the soil hydrology literature suggests that there are at least two different ways these models are being constructed. We rev...

Rose plants (Rosa x hybrida L. CV. Kardinal, grafted on Natal Brier) were grown in UC mix and in coconut coir. Water release curves and hydraulic conductivity of the media were measured. Water tensions in the media were maintained within a predetermined narrow range by tension-actuated irrigation, using high-flow electronic tensiometers. Transpiration rate of plants sitting on load cells was me...

1. Certain water-soluble esters of long chain fatty acids (in particular of oleic acid) favor submerged and diffuse growth of mycobacteria throughout the depth of synthetic liquid media. 2. Esters of oleic acid increase considerably the amount of growth yielded by avian strains in synthetic media. 3. The addition of serum albumin to synthetic liquid media permits visible growth of minimal inocu...

THE use of contrast media in the orbit dates from 1927, when Staunig and Herrenschwand injected air into the episcleral space, and since that time various media have been used. The ideal medium should provide good contrast in small quantities, be non-irritant, and have suitable qualities of permeation and absorption. The following media will be considered: (1) Air or other gas, (2) Oily media, ...

abstract bottom rack intake is one of the most popular structures used for diverting water in mountain region. corrosion and rotten problems of bottom racks inspire the introduction of a new system of bottom intake in which a porous media is replaced by the bottom rack. obviously, clogging and reduction of diverted discharge are the most important problems in this new system, too. in this paper...

This study, sponsored by the Water Environment Research Foundation, focused on innovative methods for the capture of metals from stormwater. The two areas of focus were media filters and swales. This paper will focus on the filter studies. Twelve media were chosen for initial evaluation. Equilibrium and kinetic studies were formed on these media to assess their performance in capturing metals f...

current global water shortage and water pollution problem are some of the crucial issues in theworld, especially in the arid zones. the wastewater reuse was investigated the efficiency of fecal coliform(fc) removal using the intermittent media infiltration (imi) with varying soil content and natural porousmedia (sand, zeolite, vermicompost and charcoal), and its prediction was introduced by app...

the ion_ osmoregulation and salinity tolerance capabilities of juvenile acipenser persicus of different age and size groups with 90 fry for each treatment in freshwater (fw :< 0.5 ‰), estuary water (ew: 9.5 ‰) and the caspian sea water (csw: 12.5 ‰) were investigated. the fishes are directly transferred from fw to ew and csw. the possible repercussions of ion_osmoregulatory processes on some cl...
