Abstract:
Abstract One major risk factor common to individuals in schistosomiasis endemic areas is water contact patterns. Effort to determine the dynamics in water contact patterns in different regions needs utmost attention in order to suggest a better control strategy for schistosome infection. Quantitative observations on human water contact activities were recorded in Yewa North Local Government Area of Ogun State for a period of two years. Frequency and duration of observed water contact activities were recorded. Males had the highest water contact during the rainy season with 51.1% compared to fe

Variations in the amount of water contact made by individuals and in the amount of water contact made at different sites may have significant impacts on patterns of human schistosome infection. Previous studies have reported variations in the rate of water contact and differences in the sites used between age/sex classes, but there is limited information on variations in individual water contact behaviour. In this paper we report and analyse observations of essentially all water contacts made over a two week period by all individuals in a rural community in eastern Zimbabwe. The mean rate of w

Human water contact patterns were studied in two resettlement communities at the Oyan Reservoir in south-west Nigeria in all four seasons in 1991 and 1992. Water contact was most intensive in the afternoon and in the hot dry season, but different types of activities exhibited different daily and seasonal patterns. Both communities were highly endemic for urinary schistosomiasis. However, knowledge regarding schistosomiasis transmission was very limited and the infection was, in spite of a very high frequency of blood in the urine, not considered a major public health problem.

We review the theoretical framework for exploring the impact of individual and spatial heterogeneities in patterns of exposure and contamination and on the basic reproduction number, R0, for human schistosomes. Analysis of water contact data for 5 communities in Zimbabwe and Mali suggests that the impact is substantial, increasing R0 by factors of up to 6·5, mostly due to highly overdispersed distributions of contact rates among individuals. Several practical conclusions emerge: concentration of contacts at a single site should be avoided; the impact of control targeted at certain sites cannot

The hand has the highest surface area-to-volume ratio of any body part. This property offers the potential for the hand to serve an important function in thermoregulation through radiative heat loss. Theoretically, the capacity for heat loss may be influenced by hand and digit proportions, but the extent to which these proportions influence the hand's radiative properties remains under-investigated. Although hand morphology is highly constrained by both integration and functional dexterity, phenotypic variation in hand and digit proportions across human populations shows broad ecogeographic pa

Abstract:
Abstract Typical flow patterns for a gas-oil-water flow encountered in pipelines with elevation changes are three-phase stratified types of flows (stratified or annular) and slug flow, where water and oil phases may not be completely mixed; and gas mixed-liquid two-phase slug flow and stratified flow, where water and oil phases are mixed. This paper reviews a number of effects of flow on the various aspects of corrosion, i.e., whether water is in continuous contact with the pipe wall, what the clock positions of contact are to the pipe wall, and how to couple the flow characteristics with corr

Abstract:
Abstract Engineered glass-ceramic coatings that contain hydraulically reactive calcium silicates have been shown to be remarkably effective in increasing the bond strength between reinforcing steel and the surrounding concrete or mortar. The coatings are a mixture of portland cement and alkaline-resistant basecoat glass enamel. X-ray diffraction patterns indicate that all of the major reactive compounds, such as dicalcium silicate and tricalcium silicate and the ferrites and even gypsum survived the firing of the frit-cement mixture onto steel.

Biomass-based energy has characteristics that could help Maui Island meet multiple long-term goals, including decreasing reliance on oil for electricity and transportation fuels, increasing use of local resources that do not need to be shipped long distances, and diversifying the island economy beyond tourism by preserving agriculture. Biomass can be used for liquid fuel production and for electricity production. On Maui, sugarcane has been grown at plantation scale for over a century. Accordingly, sugarcane-derived ethanol and combustible sugarcane bagasse have long been of interest as energy

Abstract:
Loess is a buff colored, clastic sedimentary rocky of eolian origin without stratification and laminations where the silt particles predominates (beside clay and sand). Gentle lithification with carbonate bonds makes them highly sensitive to water impacts which dissolute this rock. Its vertical breaking made steep slopes. Loess in the sedimentary record deposits are not homogenous sediments, but most contain paleosols or sand horizons which we denominated loess series or loess-paleosol sequences. In Serbia loess series are the most widespread eolian sediments on which the high quality chernoze

Abstract We report an experimental investigation on contact line dynamics, thermal patterns, and internal fluid flow during the evaporation of inverted sessile drops of pure water. This configuration of sessile drop when placed on a heated substrate should lead to thermal stratification and any internal convective flow will be governed by surface tension driven Marangoni flow. First, we report contact line dynamics and thermal patterns recorded using an optical camera and infrared camera, respectively. An interesting outcome from the present study is the resemblance observed between the evolut

Abstract:
Water is not only vital for human life but also is a critical economic input. Climate change will likely exacerbate conflicts over the multiple uses of water in Latin America. Adopting a south-south perspective approach, this study compares direct water requirement patterns over time among Brazil, Colombia, and Costa Rica, applying an environmental-extended Structural Decomposition Analysis between 2013 and 2017. While all countries experienced increased water consumption during the period, Brazils and Colombias results suggest gains in water productivity at the national level and for Agricult

While we are exposed to the physical effects of natural hazard processes, certain groups within a community often bear a disproportionate share of the negative consequences when a disaster strikes. This study addresses questions of why some places and population groups in Canada are more vulnerable to natural hazard processes than others, who is most likely to bear the greatest burden of risk within a given community or region, and what are the underlying factors that disproportionally affect the capacities of individuals and groups to withstand, cope with, and recover from the impacts and dow

As climate change intensifies in many parts of the world, more and more policymakers are concerned with its effects on human security and violence. From Lake Chad to the Philippines, including Afghanistan and Syria, some violent extremist (VE) groups such as Boko Haram and the Islamic State exploit crises and conflicts resulting from environmental stress to recruit more followers, expand their influence and even gain territorial control. In such cases, climate change may be described as a “risk multiplier” that exacerbates a number of conflict drivers. Against this backdrop, this case study lo

Abstract:
The history of Whiskeytown is primarily a history that centers around a series of resource-extraction-based human occupations. In pre-contact times the place was occupied by the Wintu and the vital resource that they exploited was salmon. In 1849, the vital resource became gold. Later it was copper. Then it was timber in the forest. And then it was water, which falls on the mountains as rain and snow and is so vital to the agriculture and population that is concentrated in the thirsty valley below. Today the vital resource is not just the mountain water itself but all the recreation that occur

Shifts in disturbance patterns across the Northeast are of increasing concern as the climate continues to change. In particular, changes in patterns of frequency, severity and extent of disturbance event may have detrimental cascading impacts on forest ecosystems and human communities. To explore how changing disturbance regimes might impact future forest health and management it is necessary to understand the historical trends and impacts of disturbance in the region.
