Article Synopsis
- A novel ATR apparatus was employed to analyze water-based substances at THz frequencies, using a diamond crystal for temperature-dependent reflectance measurements.
- The analysis revealed distinctive features in the spectrum that indicate the amounts of bound and bulk water, as well as the presence of fats and oils.
- This non-destructive technique requires little sample preparation and could enhance real-time biological analysis, supporting faster medical diagnoses and industrial applications.*
Surfactant-enhanced aquifer remediation (SEAR) is an appropriate method for DNAPL-contaminated aquifer remediation; However, due to the high cost of the SEAR method, finding the optimal remediation scenario is usually essential. Embedding numerical simulation models of DNAPL remediation within the optimization routines are computationally expensive, and in this situation, using surrogate models instead of numerical models is a proper alternative. Ensemble methods are also utilized to enhance the accuracy of surrogate models, and in this study, the Stacking ensemble method was applied and compared with conventional methods.

Methods: We performed a multicentric case-control study in 3 university hospitals in France, including 36 cases (patients older than 65 years hospitalized with hyperthermia or dehydration between 1st July and 31st August 2007) and 51 controls. We compared drugs and changes in drug dosage according to the values of renal function.
