The commercially available fluorescence dye 8-hydroxypyrene-1,3,6-trisulfonate (HPTS) can be used as a selective molecular probe for the detection of caffeine in aqueous solution. ...
This thesis deal with experimental, field and modeling studies on reactive solute transport within hydrologic control volumes. The substances used in open environments for plant protection and other purposes are likely to be flushed by rainfall and enter i ...
This first semester spent working on the Solar Decathlon project aims at defining a compelling concept for the competition. The need for a support for energy considerations was quickly identified to complement the analysis carried out by the architects. Th ...
Chapter in the exhibition catalogue outlining the instigation and concept for the creation of the exhibition at the Biennale. The text focuses on the relation of urban development in Bahrain with the traditional and cultural connection to water and the sea ...
Urban quality has become a pervasive concern not only in China but also in most contemporary cities. Yet before considering how urban planning could be done in order to achieve quality, it is necessary to question how this concept is defined and measured. ...
A theoretical analysis of transport in a controlled hydrologic volume, inclusive of two willow trees and forced by erratic water inputs, is carried out contrasting the experimental data described in a companion paper. The data refer to the hydrologic trans ...
Accurate estimates of water losses by evaporation from shallow water tables are important for hydrological, agricultural, and climatic purposes. An experiment was conducted in a weighing lysimeter to characterize the diurnal dynamics of evaporation under n ...
The continuous surveillance of drinking water is extremely important to provide early warning of contamination and to ensure continuous supplies of healthy drinking water. Isolation and detection of a particular type of pathogen present at low concentratio ...
Biocide contamination of receiving waters is generally linked with agriculture. However, recent studies have shown that urban contributions should be also considered. One of the suspected biocide sources in the urban environment is building paint. Biocides ...
A sensor arrangement (1) and a method for the permanent remote monitoring of water quality in a water supply line (2) is disclosed. The sensor arrangement (1) comprises a number of sensors (3) for the detection of different attributes of water quality and ...
