Increasing block rate tariffs and water conservation : a case study of individually metered dwellings in multi-storey buildings in the Federal District, Brazil
(International Water Resources Association (IWRA), 2017)
Clonidine and phenylephrine injected into the lateral preoptic area reduce water intake in dehydrated rats
(Elsevier B.V., 1993-09-01)
In the present study, we investigated the effect of phenylephrine and clonidine (α1- and α2-adrenoceptor agonists, respectively) injected into the lateral preoptic area (LPOA) on the water intake induced by water deprivation ...
Block copolymers in the synthesis of gold nanoparticles. Two new approaches: Copolymer aggregates as reductants and stabilizers and simultaneous formation of copolymer aggregates and gold nanoparticles
(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2014)
© 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.In this article, innovative applications of amphiphilic triblock and pentablock copolymers in the synthesis of gold nanoparticles are reported. The synthesis of gold nanoparticles is performed ...
Growth and yield traits of pickling cucumber plants to measure the impact of different irrigation management practices
(2021-01-01)
Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L) is mostly cultivated by family-based farmers worldwide and processed to pickles by small to mid-sized industries generating employment and income. But irrigation management needs better ...
Topographical, climatic, and geological controls of groundwater flow in mountainous systems - impact on mountain block recharge and groundwater-surface water interaction
(2024)
Mountains, often referred to as the world's water towers, play a vital role in global water distribution. They receive significant precipitations and redistribute these waters to lower regions, thereby sustaining a major ...
Physicochemical properties of L-alpha dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine large unilamellar vesicles: Effect of hydrophobic block (PLA/PCL) of amphipathic diblock copolymers
(Elsevier Ireland Ltd, 2020-08)
In the present work, we show how amphipathic diblock copolymers affect the physicochemical properties of the lipid bilayer of DPPC liposome. Diblock copolymers proposed for this study are focused in the difference between ...
Efficient and eco-friendly synthesis of iodinated aromatic building blocks promoted by iodine and hydrogen peroxide in water: a mechanistic investigation by mass spectrometry
(Elsevier B.V., 2012-10-03)
The reaction of aromatic and heteroaromatic compounds with molecular iodine in the presence of aqueous hydrogen peroxide using water without any co-solvent at 50 degrees C for 24 h produced versatile iodinated organic ...
Autonomous Soil Water Content Sensors Based on Bipolar Transistors Encapsulated in Porous Ceramic Blocks
(Mdpi, 2019-03-22)
We present an autonomous sensor to measure soil water content that uses a single heat pulse probe based on a transistor encapsulated in a porous block. The sensor uses a bipolar junction transistor, which performs as both ...
Effects of crude protein and sodium intake on water turnover in cats fed extruded diets
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2020-06-17)
The comprehension of strategies to increase urine production may be important, especially in kibble diets to prevent urolithiasis in cats. The effects of increasing amounts of crude protein (CP) and sodium on the water ...
