BLOCKCHAIN-ORCHESTRATED INTELLIGENT WATER TREATMENT PLANT PROFILING FRAMEWORK TO ENHANCE HUMAN LIFE EXPECTANCY

Blockchain-Orchestrated Intelligent Water Treatment Plant Profiling Framework to Enhance Human Life Expectancy

Water quality degradation has turned out to be of crucial importance due to various factors over the past decade.Pollution, climate change, and population growth are the factors that affect water quality.Contaminations such as microorganisms, heavy metals, and excessive nitrogen and phosphorous disrupt water pH levels, posing significant health ris

Highly competent native snake hosts extend the range of an introduced parasite beyond its invasive Burmese python host

Abstract Invasive Burmese pythons (Python bivittatus) have introduced a nonnative pentastomid parasite (Raillietiella orientalis) to southern Florida that has spilled over to infect native snakes.However, the extent of spillover, regarding prevalence and intensity, is unknown.We examined native snakes (n = 523) and invasive pythons (n = 1003) colle

In-situ measurement of the meniscus at the entry and exit of grease and oil lubricated rolling bearing contacts

The lubricant inlet meniscus in a rolling element bearing acts as a reservoir that feeds the elastohydrodynamic contact, resulting in a sufficiently thick film to avoid wear.A shortening and/or thinning of the inlet meniscus towards the contact centre is an indicator of bearing starvation and impaired lubricant performance.This work introduces an u
