We disclosed the shortcomings of current screening methods and the need for precise and dependable instruments in the detection and informed treatment of cancer via the IMC in relation to the experimental procedures required to obtain accurate results. Main body of abstract We examined the intricate technical aspects of isothermal calorimetry. The application of the IMC calscreener in cancer research is then discussed in depth, including how it can be used to evaluate the efficacy of treatments, identify metabolic inhibitors, and assess metabolic rates. We also investigated the diagnostic potential of isothermal calorimetry, particularly for early cancer detection and tracing therapy efficacy. Conclusions General findings shed light on the present issues and potential approaches for isothermal calorimetry applicat...

Six digesters (A, B, C, D, E, and F) were used with a retention time of 31 days. The dry weight content of the digesters include: 100% layer wastes (control), 100% broiler wastes (control), 95% layer wastes + 5% P. juliflora leaves, 90% layer wastes + 10% P. juliflora leaves, 95% broiler wastes + 5% P. juliflora leaves, and 90% broiler wastes + 10% P. juliflora leaves. Layer wastes plus 5% Prosopis Juliflora created 18% more biogas than layer wastes alone, and layer wastes plus 10% Prosopis Juliflora produced 22% more biogas than layer wastes alone, which was the control set-up. In comparison to digester broiler wastes alone, broiler wastes plus 5% and broiler wastes plus 10% both produced 20% and 24% more biogas, respectively. In conclusion, adding 5 and 10 percent of Prosopis Juliflora to poultry manure from layers or broilers has signifi...

The dry weight content of the digesters include: 100% layer wastes (control), 100% broiler wastes (control), 95% layer wastes + 5% P. juliflora leaves, 90% layer wastes + 10% P. juliflora leaves, 95% broiler wastes + 5% P. juliflora leaves, and 90% broiler wastes + 10% P. juliflora leaves. Layer wastes plus 5% Prosopis Juliflora created 18% more biogas than layer wastes alone, and layer wastes plus 10% Prosopis Juliflora produced 22% more biogas than layer wastes alone, which was the control setup. In comparison to digester broiler wastes alone, broiler wastes plus 5% and broiler wastes plus 10% both produced 20% and 24% more biogas, respectively. In conclusion, adding 5 and 10 percent of Prosopis Juliflora to poultry manure from layers or broilers has significantly increased the generation of biogas. Broiler wastes plus 10% Prosopis Juliflora yielded the most amount of methane and least amount of hydrogen sulfide, which makes it the most suitable substrate.

Six digesters (A, B, C, D, E, and F) with dry weight content of 100% layer wastes (control), 100% broiler wastes (control), 95% layer wastes + 5% biochar, 90% layer wastes + 10% biochar, 95% broiler wastes + 5% biochar, and 90% broiler wastes + 10% biochar were used for 31 days. The respective cumulative biogas yields of layer and broiler waste digestion were 17.9 L, 17.7 L, 21.8 L, 22.6 L, 21.3 L, and 22.0 L. This study revealed that biochar addition of 10% increased the biogas yield of both wastes by 26% and 24%, respectively. The methane content was highest in the biogas from digester F (68.12%), producing the least amount of hydrogen sulphide (0.84%). Consequently, broiler waste is found to be the most suited for biogas generation, especially when spiked with 10% biochar.
Rainfall-Runoff relationship of FUTA Southgate watershed, 2015

The unit hydrographs were developed based on the NRCS method; and the NRCS method was used to estimate the excess from the rainfall depth of different return periods. The NRCS method is recommended since it incorporates most hydrological and morphological characteristics of the basin such as watershed area, main channel length, river channel slope which were gotten through the Geographic Information System (G.I.S). The runoff volumes were also computed using both methods described above. The model developed was calibrated with ten different storms events for different Curve number (CN) and initial abstraction Ia values. A CN value of 86 and Ia of 0.07S was chosen. Nash Sutcliffe coefficient of efficiency (NSE) and percent bias (PBIAS) statistical methods were used in testing the goodness-of-fit between the simulated and observed stream flows and they had values of 0.98 and 9.59 as NSE and PBIAS. For the development of the model, the antecedent moisture condition was considered and the RS images when analysed with GIS tools was used in getting the information on land use, hydraulic length and average slope and area of the watershed. Geotechnical tests were also carried out to determine the hydrological soil group and the velocity area method was used in getting the rating curve for the observed stream flow. The model was then combined with the IDF curves for Akure township to develop stream flow at the outlet for 25 years return period rainfall of duration equal to the time of concentration (85 minutes) which generates a stream flow hydrograph with peak discharge of 103m^s⁄s and 100 years rainfall for 24 hours duration which also generates a stream flow hydrograph of peak discharge of m for the design of culverts and flood elevation is 2.9m for delineation of flood prone areas in the flood plain.

However, water pollution is a significant challenge that threatens the availability and quality of water resources. The presence of persistent organic substances in water sources is one of the most significant and pressing water pollution problems that affect the environment and human health (Giwa et al., 2021). Persistent organic substances (POPs) are toxic, organic pollutants that are resistant to degradation and can persist in the environment for years or even decades. POPs are found in various water sources, including industrial effluents, municipal wastewater, agricultural runoff, and groundwater, and they are considered to be emerging contaminants. Due to their persistence, bioaccumulation, and toxicity, many of these substances are classified as carcinogens, mutagens, or endocrine disruptors, which can have severe impacts on human health, aquatic organisms, and ecosystems (Daramola & Adebayo, 2022). Conventional biological treatment methods are not effective in removing these trace pollutants, and therefore, the development of advanced and innovative water treatment technologies is needed to address this issue.

The survey revealed a dramatic increase in the number of people residing in urban areas, from 752 million in 1950 to 4.2 billion in 2018. (H. Nasiri et al., 2018). This growth has led to modern urbanization, which in turn has prompted governments in the developed world to implement measures to make their cities more intelligent through the use of technology, data, and better allocation of scarce resources. By utilizing pre-existing infrastructure, the vast majority of countries have completed multiple smart-city initiatives. When faced with a rapidly aging population and a shrinking workforce, Japan is taking the novel approach of creating smart cities from start. It is an impoverished country with a high risk of natural disasters. Japan was startled into pursuing energy efficient and resilient smart city initiatives by the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami of 2011.

They maintained that by urine dehydration technology, dried urine per person is 40kg per year compared to the 550kg liquid urine passed per person per year. According to Lyn Broaddus 2021, urine diversion and reuse will be a disruptive dimension of how human sanitation is done given the circumstances of shortage in energy, water, feedstock for agriculture and industries, food insecurity and global ballooning population. While the concept has been widely studied, extant resources research has been on urine separation, diversion, treatment, production, processing, reuse and recycling. this review will focus on the extant treatment technology-Alkaline Urine Dehydration Technology. This review will be based on research conducted from the early 1990s to 2000s by renowned researchers from Sweden, the US, Australia, Switzerland, Finland, South Africa amongst others. Their findings will provide the background context to this review on the propriety and effectiveness of alkaline urine dehydration technology. Alkaline dehydration technology is used in the treatment of human urine to produce dry and nutrient rich fertilizers. This technology is a subset of the wider wastewater management and sanitation technology.

Its most visible application has been to tokenize digital art and collectibles. These tokens are untouchable because they are digital (photograph, movie, music) (Wang et al., 2021). Internet markets, which have seen a boom in appeal in early 2021, are often used to trade NFTs. An NFT digital mosaic by artist Mike Winkelmann was recently sold at Christie's auction house for $69.3 million, one of the highest fees previously spent for any piece of artwork (at least so far). According to Google Trends, prior to January 2021, when it peaked in popularity, the word NFT received almost no attention.
