The dataset presented in this article are related to the research article entitled "Hybrid coagulation-UF processes for spent filter backwash water treatment: a comparison studies for PAFCl and FeCl as a pre-treatment" (Ebrahimi et al., 2017) [1]. This article reports the cost estimation for treating produced spent filter backwash water (SFBW) during water treatment in Isfahan- Iran by various methods including primary sedimentation, coagulation & flocculation, second clarification, ultra filtration (UF) and recirculation of settled SFBW to water treatment plant (WTP) entrance. Coagulation conducted by PAFCl and FeCl as pre polymerized and traditional coagulants. Cost estimation showed that contrary to expectations, the recirculation of settled SFBW to WTP entrance is more expensive than other method and it costs about $ 37,814,817.6. Versus the cheapest option related to separate primary sedimentation, coagulation & flocculation in WTP. This option cost about $ 4,757,200 and $ 950,213 when FeCl3 and PAFCl used as coagulant, respectively.

Introduction: The impact of non-antibiotic feed additives on livestock performance and health is contingent upon a multitude of variables, including the animal species, dosage and type of feed additives, and duration of oral administration. However, there is a paucity of knowledge regarding the relationship between these factors and the performance of livestock animals.
Objectives: The objective of this study was to conduct a global meta-analysis based on a pool of empirical studies to investigate the effects of dietary additives on growth, production, blood metabolites, immunity, intestinal morphology, and the abundance of gut microbiota in livestock.

Background: This study aims to assess the cost-effectiveness of percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) and nasogastric tube (NGT) in older adults with advanced dementia, compared with non-artificial nutrition.
Methods: Retrospective cohort study. Medical claims data and long-term care claims data from Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan, were used.

Electrocardiographic imaging (ECGI) aims to noninvasively estimate heart surface potentials starting from body surface potentials. This is classically based on geometric information on the torso and the heart from imaging, which complicates clinical application. In this study, we aim to develop a deep learning framework to estimate heart surface potentials solely from body surface potentials, enabling wider clinical use.

Three foam collection methods - passive overflow, mesh skimmer, and mesh-belt skimmer - were iteratively designed and evaluated for continuous collection of foam forming at a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) cascade for removal of per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS). Surface tension, PFAS concentrations, and foamate collection rates were measured to assess their performance. Foam collection using a novel mesh skimmer and mesh-belt skimmer increased PFAS enrichment over that of the in situ foam, as the mesh facilitated drainage of PFAS-depleted liquid during collection.

Tobacco 21 (T21) laws (prohibiting tobacco sales under age 21) and flavor restrictions have recently been enacted, yet little is known about the extent to which these policies shifted adolescent tobacco use. To examine the associations between state-level T21 laws and flavor restrictions with adolescent tobacco use overall and by age. We linked state-level T21 laws and flavor restrictions with individual-level data on self-reported levels of cigarette, cigar, and electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) use among 979,477 (500,205 female/479,272 male) 14-18+-year-olds from the 2011-2021 Youth Risk Behavior Surveys.
