In recent years, the use of solar energy has been growing exponentially and applied in a wider range of applications; one of the important applications for using solar energy is water desalination.The current work investigates the proof of concept experimental setup for a novel solar multi-effect distillation (MED) using alternate storage tanks.The
Mercury toxicity in the Amazon: contrast sensitivity and color discrimination of subjects exposed to mercury
We measured visual performance in achromatic and chromatic spatial tasks of mercury-exposed subjects and compared the results with norms obtained from Painting healthy individuals of similar age.Data were obtained for a group of 28 mercury-exposed subjects, comprising 20 Amazonian gold miners, 2 inhabitants of Amazonian riverside communities, and 6

Self-efficacy in protecting oneself against HIV transmission: A qualitative study of female university students in Malawi
This article deals with the complexity of health behaviour from a self-efficacy perspective, and shows the naivety in assuming knowledge as the main guide to better protection against HIV.The authors accentuate the importance of local knowledge when developing health strategies as in the case of protection against HIV, in this case for female unive
Verification and validation of detonation modeling
The mathematical model used to describe the detonation multi-physics phenomenon is usually given by highly coupled nonlinear Supplements partial differential equations.Numerical simulation and the computer aided engineering (CAE) technique has become the third pillar of detonation research, along with theory and experiment, due to the detonation ph
