Water resource accounting constitutes a fundamental approach for implementing sophisticated management of basin water resources. The quality of water plays a pivotal role in determining the liabilities associated with these resources. Evaluating the quality of water facilitates the computation of water resource liabilities during the accounting process. Traditional accounting methods rely on manual sorting and data analysis, which necessitate significant human effort. In order to address this issue, we leverage the remarkable feature extraction capabilities of convolutional operations to construct neural networks. Moreover, we introduce the self-attention mechanism module to propose an unsupervised deep clustering method. This method offers assistance in accounting tasks by automatically classifying the debt levels of water resources in distinct regions, thereby facilitating comprehensive water resource accounting. The methodology presented in this article underwent verification using three datasets: the United States Postal Service (USPS), Heterogeneity Human Activity Recognition (HHAR), and Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). The evaluation of Accuracy rate (ACC), Normalized Mutual Information (NMI), and Adjusted Rand Index (ARI) metrics yielded favorable results, surpassing those of K-means clustering, hierarchical clustering, and Density-based constraint extension (DCE). Specifically, the mean values of the evaluation metrics across the three datasets were 0.8474, 0.7582, and 0.7295, respectively.

Vertical Farming Systems (VFS) emerge as an approach to optimize plant growth in urban and controlled environments, by enabling sustainable and intensive production in reduced spaces. VFS allow for greater control over growing conditions, such as light, temperature and humidity, resulting in higher quality crops and with less use of resources, such as water and fertilizers. This research investigates the effects of different lighting regimes (Constant and Gaussian) and spectral qualities (white, RBW, blue and red) on the growth, photosynthesis, and biomass accumulation of lentil microgreens () in VFS.

High Molecular-Weight Organics as Precursors for Toxic Iodinated Disinfection Byproducts during Chloramination.

Iodinated DBPs (I-DBPs), many more toxic than regulated chlorinated and/or brominated DBPs, are a major challenge in the supply of safe drinking water. While over 800 DBPs have been identified, the occurrence and precursors of toxic I-DBPs remain poorly understood. Herein, natural organic matter from two raw drinking waters was fractionated using ultrafiltration membranes into different groups based on molecular weight (MW).

Historical record of trace elements since MIS 2 in a sediment core of Laizhou Bay, China.

Environ Monit Assess

January 2025

Sinopec Offshore Oilfield Services Company, Shanghai, 201208, China.

The concentration of trace elements in sediments is a critical element in the quality of nearshore environments. Geochemical background values are the normal concentrations of trace elements in the natural environment, and the use of different background values has resulted in different evaluations. Trace element (Cu, Pb, Zn, Cr, Cd, As, and Hg) concentration profiles along a sediment core were investigated to obtain background values and to assess the depositional processes and contamination levels in Laizhou Bay.

A simple and inexpensive process from natural phosphate in the presence of Ag ions was used to develop AgO-loaded hydroxyapatite nanocomposites. The structural and textural characterization of the nanocomposites suggests that the AgO nanoparticles are well dispersed on the hydroxyapatite (HAp). The prepared nanocomposites show efficient Rhodamine B (RhB) dye photocatalytic degradation in water under visible and UV-visible light irradiation.
