Use of filtration and electricity analogy in simulation of underflooding protection in urban construction by V. I. Sologaev

“…The methodology for complex calculation and modelling of the joint processes of water filtration in soils, the flow of electric current and electroosmotic filtration can find useful application in the development of effective protection against underflooding in urban construction. a sequence of algorithmic modelling steps is recommended. initially, it is recommended to run rough spreadsheet simulations on personal computers and mobile phones. next, a different modelling approach should be applied. based on the initial rough models of the previous step, it is necessary to write the algorithms in the programming language. the compiled model of the investigated filtration and electroosmosis processes will significantly increase the reliability of the design of protection against underflooding.conclusion. a comparison is made of the joint use of construction dewatering means of different physical essence, with simultaneous processes of gravitational filtration of underground water and passing a direct electric current through the drained soil, which causes an additional effect of electroosmosis. it is proposed to apply in a new way the analogy of water filtration and electric current in order to achieve more effective results of engineering activities by modeling protection against underflooding of building areas, ensuring the safety of urban construction when the level of groundwater rises.…”

High responsivity UV detector based on TiO2-rGO nanocomposite material by A. Жумабеков, A. Касанова, Н. Испулов, K. Досумбеков, Ж. Оспанова, T. Досанов, A. Курманов

“…It has been illustrated that during hydrothermal synthesis further reduction of rGO occurs, i.e. the variety of oxygen-containing groups decreases. Studies of current-voltage characteristics have displayed the availability of rGO in the nanocomposite leads to an increase in the photo induced current to more than 40 µA. …”

Prevalence and coexistence of malnutrition, sarcopenia, frailty and sarcopenic obesity among older adults in the community: Results from a prospective cohort study by Zhishan Jiang, Adrian Slee, Christine Elizabeth Weekes

“…Subjects with coexistence of MSFSO also had poorer perceived QOL (EQ-5D Visual Analogue Scale: none vs. ≥2 conditions = 85 scores vs. 56 scores, P < 0.001) and generally more contacts with HSCPs. Conclusion: Coexistence of MSFSO was associated with a greater risk of mortality, a poorer perceived QOL and an increased contact with health and social care services. …”

Comparison and theoretical conceptualization analysis of statistical methods used to develop heat vulnerability indices in urban areas by Thomas Lagelouze, Julia Hidalgo, Mitia Aranda, Guillaume Dumas

“… In view of the impact of extreme temperatures on physical and psychological health, particularly in urban areas, several studies have focused on assessing social vulnerability using quantitative indexing approaches with the aim of creating a heat vulnerability index (HVI). In this context, this study employs three statistical methodologies frequently used to construct HVIs on the territory of the Toulouse Métropole, France, at the census block (IRIS) scale to assess the efficiency of this type of approach for evaluating social vulnerability in urban environments considering the current theoretical conceptualization. …”
