Abstract:

In the next fifty years world population will reach 9-10 billion of people. This increment will drastically increase energy and food demand. The current global food and energy supply chain is not sustainable and it causes increasing CO2 emissions, exacerbating the greenhouse effect and the climate change, whose effects we are already experiencing. The Climate Change conference hold in Paris in 2015 showed a global consensus on the need to drastically reduce carbon emissions to avoid the environmental disaster, which is leading to many negative effects like desertification, animal and plants sp

Abstract:

Waste sludge is frequently treated by anaerobic digestion to kill pathogens, generate methane gas and reduce odors so the sludge can be safely land applied. In an attempt to reduce sludge volumes and improve sludge dewatering properties, the use of thermal hydrolysis (TH), a sludge pretreatment method, has been adopted by numerous wastewater treatment plants, among them being the District of Columbia Water and Sewage Authority (DC WASA). The use of anaerobic digestion in collaboration with thermal hydrolysis has been shown to increase VS removal, COD removal and biogas production. The sludge

Abstract:

Coating urea to prepare controlled release N-fertilizer has been considered as an effective way to increase its nutrient use efficiency, thus reduce its waste and the consequent harmful environmental impacts. Inorganic sulphur and synthetic polymers have been used in the industry as coating materials together with utilization of various types of expensive coating equipment which commonly requires also complicated technical setup and controls. As development trends, biopolymers are attention-grabbing to replace the synthetic polymers. Alternative simple coating technique is also desired. So far

In recent years, in dairy cattle, while it was observed a gradual increase in productivity, a decrease occurred in the reproductive efficiency. Several factors, such as increased incidence of diseases, higher susceptibility to heat stress and increase of dry matter intake, have been awarded as possible causes for the decrease in fertility. Increased dry matter intake is associated with increased liver blood flow, which is associated with an increase in liver metabolism of steroid hormones. Given the high metabolism of steroid hormones in high producing dairy cows, six studies were carried out,

DAE's are not conducive to real-time implementation such as in a driving simulator, without a very expensive processing capability.

The state of global health and wellbeing is threatened by the pervasive and dangerous decision to engage in unprotected sex. Only male or female condoms can prevent the spread of both sexually transmitted infections and unintended pregnancies. Despite this, condoms remain dangerously underused because of the perception that they diminish sexual pleasure. The pleasure gap in the design and promotion of condoms cripples sexual health outcomes. Acknowledging and harnessing the power of pleasure in sexual-decision making is key to increasing condom use.

Abstract:

The number of people dealing with mental health issues like depression is increasing in Sweden. One common tool used by healthcare practitioners when treating depression is the use of self-assessment questionnaires, which estimates how severe the depression is.

Abstract:

<p> Colleges and universities in the United States could end operations in record numbers largely from financial shortfalls. The Urban Institute reported that nonprofit organizations lost $3.4 billion in reneged pledges from 2013 to 2014 from donor dissatisfaction, creating a problem because financial losses can occur from a lack of understanding on how media marketing efforts affect fundraising.

Abstract:

Relatively few pre-treatment interventions to increase out-patient mental health (MH) service use have been created and experimentally tested. Therefore, not only is there limited availability of these interventions, it is uncertain whether existing interventions are effective. Moreover, it is unclear which components of the interventions are effective. To address these gaps in knowledge, a systematic review of pre-treatment interventions was conducted, using the Cochrane Review methodology. Three primary outcomes were evaluated: attendance at any type of out-patient MH visit; number of appoi
