This study investigated the temporal change in the oxidation area on a titanium (Ti) bipolar electrode (BPE) subjected to bipolar anodization in a direct current (DC) electric field using a spectrophotometer. The rectangular Ti sheet used as a BPE was horizontally positioned at the center of a cell. After the DC bipolar anodization, the oxidized area was detected nondestructively and visually using a specific interference color that depends on the thickness of the barrier-type oxide film formed on the Ti BPE. The change in the *** color space corresponding to each interference color revealed that the oxidation area increased along the longitudinal axis of the BPE with the increasing electrolysis time by reflecting the change in the potential distributions on the BPE. As visually demonstrated, the area where the anodic reaction proceeded reached saturation at 90% of the BPE surface area.

Beyond the faucet: social-geographic disparities and trends in intermittent water supply in Peru.

J Water Health

January 2025

Epidemiology and Health Economics Research (EHER), Universidad Científica del Sur, Lima, Peru.

This study aimed to estimate the percentage of households with intermittent water supply (IWS) in Peru and determine the association between socioeconomic characteristics and the presence of IWS. The National Household Surveys (ENAHO) of 2017, 2018, 2019, 2019, 2021, and 2022 were used. IWS was defined as a piped water supply for less than 24 hours per day, one or more days per week.

Background: This study aims to investigate the correlation between oxidative balance score (OBS) and all-cause, cardiovascular disease (CVD) and respiratory-related mortality within a cohort that includes older asthma patients with diabetes.

Methods: Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) spanning from 2001 to 2018, which included 611 participants, were analyzed. Mortality outcomes were determined by linking the data to National Death Index (NDI) records through December 31, 2019.
