A Study of Failure Events in Drinking Water Systems as a Basis for Comparison and Evaluation of the Efficacy of Potable Reuse Schemes

Potable reuse is implemented in several countries around the world to augment strained water supplies.This article presents a public health perspective on potable reuse by comparing the critical infrastructure and institutional capacity characteristics of two well-established potable reuse schemes with conventional drinking water schemes in develop

Sperm motility in modulated microchannels

Sperm cells swim through the fluid by a periodic wave-like beating of their flagellum.At low Reynolds numbers and in confinement, the directed motion of sperm and other microswimmers is strongly influenced by steric and hydrodynamic wall interactions.We model sperm motility in Jigsaw Puzzle (Chipboard Material) mesoscale hydrodynamics simulations b

Comparison of Efficiency of BG-Sentinel Traps Baited with Mice, Mouse-Litter, and CO2 Lures for Field Sampling of Male and Female Aedes albopictus Mosquitoes

Determining the abundance and distribution of male mosquitoes in the wild and establishing species seasonality in candidate pilot sites is of particular interest with respect to the use of the sterile-male technique.With the knowledge that using mice as bait in BG-Sentinel traps effectively enhances Aedes albopictus male and female trapping success

Flow Estimation by Flow Induced Vibration of Bluff Bodies

The study confirms the feasibility of using information from flow-induced vibration generated by bluff bodies for measurement of flow.The proposed methodology is based on experiments conducted for recording acceleration signals from House vibration sensors embedded along with bluff bodies in cross flow.The studies were undertaken in a wide Reynolds
