Pumps in Water Distribution Networks (WDNs) adequately provide effective pressure where low elevation or high head losses are detected within the system. One of the most effective strategies to ensure economic sustainability is Pump Scheduling (PS), assuring the optimization of pump management and enabling significant energy cost saving. Meta-heuristic algorithms can be applied to Pump Scheduling, given their ability to provide reliable global solutions, further complemented by limited computational efforts.

Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Intestinal Failure Unit, Radboud University Medical Centre Nijmegen, Geert Grooteplein 10, 6500 HB, Nijmegen, The Netherlands. Electronic address:
Background And Aims: Measurement of the urine sodium concentration (USC) is a simple procedure that in many patients adequately indicates their hydration status. This is of particular importance in patients suffering from short bowel syndrome (SBS), who may very rapidly dehydrate and are at risk for permanently compromising their kidney function. A point of care test (POCT) that allows reliable measurement of USC would enable these patients to effectively evaluate their sodium- and water balance in the at home setting, thereby avoiding hospital visits and delayed test results.

Laoshan Laboratory, Qingdao 266237, China. Electronic address:
Seagrasses represent a significant class of marine foundation species, yet the distribution of seagrasses in the Yellow Sea and Bohai Sea remains uncertain, thereby impeding the efficacy of conservation and restoration practices. In this study, the spatial and temporal distribution pattern of seagrasses was simulated by the MaxEnt model based on the construction of marine environment and human activity datasets. The main controlling factors affecting seagrass potential distribution were analyzed, and the response of seagrass distribution to global change was clarified.

Adequate water supplies are crucial for missions to the Moon, since water is essential for astronauts' health. Ionic liquids (ILs) have been investigated for processing metal oxides, the main components of lunar regolith, to separate oxygen and metals. The IL must be diluted in the process.

Faculty of Agriculture and Life Sciences, University of Maribor, Pivola 10, 2311 Hoče, Slovenia.
Honey bees are known for their wide global distribution, their ease of handling, and their economic and ecological value. However, they are often exposed to a wide variety of stress factors. Therefore, it is essential for beekeepers to maintain healthy bee colonies.
