Abstract:
... Trust is generally assumed to be an essential precondition for effective water resource management. However, there is piecemeal evidence about the extent to which trust matters for water management and the conditions under which it is more or less important. Moreover, most evidence comes from research in a small number of liberal-democracies. We seek to advance knowledge of the importance of trust ...

Abstract:
... The determination of sulfide anion in a variety of waters (e.g. wastewaters and natural waters) even at low concentration (i.e. in the μM range) is essential due to its high toxicity, corrosivity and unpleasant smelling proprieties. Despite several methodologies are dedicated to aqueous sulfide determination, most of them need sampling/transport steps – which is no adequate to sulfide due to its r ...

Abstract:
... One-dimensional model for heat and mass transfer within a cake during a one-sided baking process is presented. Thermophysical properties from literature do not simulate temperature and mean moisture content trends close enough to experimental measurements. This makes reliable estimation of these properties extremely important. Hence, thermophysical properties are approximated as effective constant ...

Abstract:
... Traditional water retention models that use the residual water content parameter fail to accurately describe the dry end of the soil water retention curve (SWRC). We developed two- and three-segment smooth, continuous SWRC models, acknowledging the existence of three saturation states, for water contents ranging from saturation to oven-dryness. The equations near the oven dryness end in both model ...
