Water Contamination, Sanitation Practices, and Public Health Risks: A Cross-Sectional Study
Abstract: Contaminated water remains one of the biggest obstacles to public health, especially in developing countries, partly due to a lack of sanitation systems and lack of knowledge about the dangers. This paper describes the causes of water resource contamination and the ways in which they are transmitted, the lack of knowledge of the public, and what can be done to make it less of a problem, including a cross-sectional study …

A Survey on Hydrogen Storage System using Composite Material and its Alloys
Abstract: The transition to a carbon-neutral energy landscape hinges on the ability to store hydrogen safely, densely, and reversibly. While high-pressure tanks and cryogenic vessels dominate today’s infrastructure, solid-state storage in metallic alloys offers a compelling alternative by combining high gravimetric capacity with intrinsic safety to form a composite material. This work presents a systematic investigation of a family of reversible hydrogen-absorbing composite material alloys—principally Mg-based intermetallics (Mg₂Ni, MgFeMn) and TiV-based …

Perturbant Effect of Iron in Free and Complexed Form on the Briggs-Rauscher Oscillating Reaction
Abstract: The present work is aimed to investigate the perturbations of the oscillatory regime of Briggs-Rauscher (BR) reaction by Fe(bipy)32+ and Fe(C2O4)33‑ complexes in a continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR). The path of the perturbation (immediate quenching of oscillation -inhibition time- resumption of oscillations) provoked by the ferrous complex (Fe(bipy)32+) was found different to that of the ferric complex (Fe(C2O4)33‑). The initial concentration of Fe(bipy)32+ complex showed a linear dependence on …

RADAR IMAGING THEORIES AND PRINCIPLES OF OCEAN WAVES CAPILLARY WAVES AND TYPES OF RADAR
Abstract: Capillary waves caused by the wind were measured in a wave tank. The capillary waves' height, slope, and frequency composition were all measured. The wave heights (from trough to crest) were found to be between 0.06 and 8.8 mm for winds between 2.2 and 7.6 m/sec. Wind speed affects the distribution of frequencies (wavelengths), with more high frequency waves occurring at faster wind speeds. An S-shaped curve with the sharply …
