Biofilm Control Inside Secondary Water Storage Containers Using UV LIght
… treatment for biofilm control inside secondary storage containers used in humanitarian settings. A scoping literature review investigating real‑world UV light treatment application revealed that, even though it is effective beyond controlled laboratory settings, it is underexplored as a method …

COMSOL finite-element analysis : residual stress measurement of representative 304L/308L weld in spent fuel storage containers
The ultimate storage destination for spent nuclear fuel in the United States is currently undecided. Spent fuel will be stored indefinitely in dry cask storage systems typically located on-site at the reactor or at a dedicated independent spent fuel storage installation (ISFSI). Since these …

Agricultural water quality and biofilm formation in water storage containers and irrigation pipes linked to fresh produce safety
… The long term use of medium sized water storage tanks can lead to changes in the quality of the water and the development of vast biofilm structures. In order to determine the rate of water quality deterioration in large storage tanks, rain-, ground- and potable- water, and their …

Thermal stratification in solar storage tanks
… investigate the thermal stratification in solar storage containers. Three domestic thermally stratified hot water storage containers were designed with the main object of improving and stabilizing thermal stratification of the stored water as a means of improving the overall efficiency of solar …

Qualifizierung von Polysiloxanen für die langzeitstabile Konditionierung radioaktiver Abfälle
At present German policy envisages interim storage of all radioactive waste (for approximately 30 years) until a final repository is available. This therefore leads to higher standards for storage containers. Silicone elastomers (polysiloxanes), materials on the basis of silicon and oxygen with …

Canine Platelet Concentrates: An In Vitro Study to Effectively Provide a Source of Functional Platelets
This study monitored the storage lesion of 15 units of canine platelet concentrates harvested by differential centrifugation. Canine platelet concentrates were stored at 20-24°C in a platelet rotator for a total of 9 days; the storage lesion of three second generation platelet storage containers …

Water quality analysis of the piped water supply in Tamale, Ghana
… Contamination also happens very readily during storage due to high usage of unsafe storage containers in Tamale combined with the low chlorine residuals.

The effects of an intermittent piped water network and storage practices on household water quality in Tamale, Ghana
… of water in their homes, sometimes in unsanitary storage containers. Samples taken from households around Tamale indicate that there is widespread contamination of drinking water as indicated by total coliform, E. coli, and lack of chlorine residual. Examination of data from Ghana Water Company …

Household scale slow sand filtration in the Dominican Republic
… were interviewed about general filter use, water storage methods, filter maintenance practices, and water use. Data analysis revealed that even though the majority of filters were removing large portions of both total coliform and E. coli contamination, no filters met the WHO water quality …

Construction and testing of a respiratory apparatus for equine
… series of flow meters, pumps, drying columns and storage containers were connected to the mask. Aliquots of expired gases were taken and analyzed for carbon dioxide and oxygen content to determine RQ and to calculate heat production values. All values were recorded at standard temperature, …

Prenatal exposure to di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate and high-fat diet synergistically disrupts mouse fetal oogenesis and affects folliculogenesis
… DEHP is abundant in products such as food storage containers, containers of personal care products, cosmetics, children’s toys, medical tubing, and blood storage bags. DEHP is known as an endocrine disrupting chemical and has the ability to leach out to the environment from products …

Corrosion Behavior of Nuclear Waste Storage Canister Materials
… of interaction of mild steel nuclear waste storage containers with technetium ions is not fully known. Technetium is formed during nuclear processing and some of this technetium has leaked at the Hanford nuclear waste storage site in Washington State. It is often found as highly oxidized …

Cosmic ray muons for spent nuclear fuel monitoring
… No alternative disposal path is available and storage of spent nuclear fuel in dry storage containers is anticipated for the near future. In this dissertation, a capability to monitor spent nuclear fuel stored within dry casks using cosmic ray muons is developed. The motivation stems from the …

The Effects of Water Storage and Meteorological Conditions on Enteric Infections from a Matched-Control Trial in Beira, Mozambique
… centers. However, water intermittency and water storage practices, as well as impacts of meteorological conditions, may interfere with the progress made by drinking water interventions. Results from the PAASIM study, a matched-control trial assessing a piped water supply intervention in Beira, …

The impact of bias in length frequency data on an age structured fisheries stock assessment model
… fish may become stratified in holding bins or storage containers according to size, due to their slippery texture and body shape (Hilborn and Walters 1992). With smaller, shorter individuals falling to the bottom where they are less likely to be picked up and measured, length frequency data may …
