3D water quality modelling of a eutrophic lake

Christel Marie Tartini-Chappuis

In an environment subject to anthropogenic pressures, the understanding of lakes is crucial as they are essential for ecosystems and represent a source of the scarce accessible freshwater existing on Earth. Water quality management is especially designed t ...

Levels of 48 pesticides in vegetables and water and evaluation of health risk resulting from dietary intake in gardening areas in Burkina Faso

Luiz Felippe De Alencastro, Edouard René Gilbert Lehmann

Exceedance of MRLs might induce a risk for the consumers and limits the opportunities of exportation for a sector identified by the authorities as having a great potential for the fight against poverty. In the same way, levels of some water samples exceed ...

Analysis of Ballast Transport in the Event of Overflowing of the Drainage System on High Speed Lines

Giovanni De Cesare, Tamara Ghilardi, Mona Jafarnejad Chaghooshi, Elena Battisacco

The transport of ballast caused by the overflowing of longitudinal drains is a prime example of the interactions between the railway track and its environment. In such conditions, water flowing from the platform, along with debris, may drag the ballast off ...
