A regularized linear programming problem of finding permissible air pollution emission rates for Beverages multiple sources of a number of industrial plants is formulated in the paper.The objective of solving that problem is to obtain the maximum profit under emission rate limits and conditions of proportional distribution of permissible emission r
There has been increased salinization of fresh water over decades due to the use of road salt deicers, wastewater discharges, saltwater intrusion, human-accelerated weathering, and groundwater irrigation.Salinization can mobilize bioreactive elements (carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur) chemically via ion exchange and/or biologically via influenc
Background: Studies indicate older adults have increased risk for alcohol-related harms (e.g., risk for falls) that can manifest at lower levels of consumption than younger adults.Specifically, age-related changes in alcohol metabolism, physiology, increased morbidity, and potential interactions with medications to manage chronic conditions increas
Topography is commonly viewed as a passive backdrop on which vegetation grows.Yet, in certain circumstances, a bidirectional feedback may develop between the control of topography and the spatial distribution of vegetation and landform development, because vegetation modulates the erosion of the land surface.Therefore, if reinforcing feedbacks are
