An optimal control strategy for municipal wastewater MBR treatment was applied to investigate its efficiency in minimizing the pumping energy of the system. Based on a simple mathematical model to capture the dynamic evolution of the TransMembrane Pressure (TMP), an optimal switching instant between filtration/backwash was determined to reduce the ...

Limitations and utility of three measures of water use characteristics were evaluated: water use efficiency (WUE), intrinsic WUE and marginal water cost of carbon gain ( ∂ E / ∂ A ) estimated, respectively, as ratios of assimilation (A) to transpiration (E), of A to stomatal conductance (gs ) and of sensitivities of E and A with variation in gs . O...

No overall estimate of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)-associated hospitalizations in children aged under 5 years has been published for the European Union (EU). We aimed to estimate the RSV hospitalization burden in children aged under 5 years in EU countries and Norway, by age group. We collated national RSV-associated hospitalization estimates...

The paper presents a model designed to analyse port governance. It considers that the stakeholders ability to adopt cooperative behaviors constitutes the key element to port development. Its focus is on medium-sized European ports and fifteen cases were studied. Each territory was first subject to a qualitative survey and analysis of the contents o...

The stand level gross volume increment models are used to estimate the future production of tree stands. Very often, the stand growth and yield in the models used in practice are described by the tree volume increment that includes the diameter growth function with the tree height together with stem taper as the input variables. The currently used ...

Small reservoirs have proliferated in the latest decades in many watersheds, often drawn by more frequent and severe droughts. Reservoirs decrease streamflows and may threaten river ecosystems, while the sustainability of their uses in a changing climate is questioned. At the catchment scale, several models of varying complexity are available to qu...

Project failure is a persistent challenge in the construction industry, rendering it one of the most demanding sectors. Many obstacles, including safety concerns, quality management issues, environmental preservation challenges, economic sustainability, privacy constraints, and legal regulations, weigh heavily on construction projects. However, a b...

Background Infections caused by both Schistosoma mansoni and Schistosoma haematobium are endemic in Kenya, with over six million children at risk. A national school-based deworming programme was launched in 2012 with the goal of eliminating parasitic worms as a public health problem. This study used a model-based geostatistical (MBG) approach to de...
