Abstract: The oxidation of dibenzothiophene (DBT) and benzothiophene (BT) from a model diesel fuel, using hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as an oxidant, was carried out in the presence of phosphotungstic acid and p...

Abstract: Economic evidence on sanitation supports decisions on resource allocation and selection of efficient and affordable sanitation interventions. This study presents the economic efficiency (costs versus benefits) of sanitation interventions to better manage human excreta, from 47 field sites, covering six countries of Southeast Asia (Cambodia, China, Indonesia, Lao PDR, the Philippines and Vietnam). Costs were estimated in each location, while benefits (improved health, avoided water pollution, reduced sanitation access time, resource recovery) were estimated using evidence from published studies and field sites. The economic return per currency unit invested, known as the benefit-cost ratio (BCR), and the cost per disability-adjusted life-year (DALY) averted were estimated. Across 25 rural field sites, pit latrines had a BCR of at least 5 in all countries, except Cambodia where the BCR was 2. In 22 urban field sites, septic tanks with wastewater management had a BCR of at least 2. Costs per DALY averted were found to be ‘cost-effective’ for most sanitation interventions in all countries. Economic performance declined significantly when considering non-use of facilities by households or unused infrastructural capacity. However, the economic net returns were positive under all pessimistic scenarios examined in one-way sensitivity analysis. This study demonstrates that sanitation is a highly profitable social and economic investment in six Asian countries.

TL;DR: Since B. umbellatusis a long-lived species, it is highly possible that disadvantageous mutations have accumulated in its clonal lineages causing a considerable load in terms of faulty meiosis resulting in defective meiotic products, a series of DI, and therefore, limited sexual reproduction.

TL;DR: Greater grain yields and yield components and NUE were obtained in 2014DS than in 2013WS, and higher grain yields contributed to similar values of GHGI although GWP of cumulative GHG emissions was increased in 2014 DS.

TL;DR: A number of open sites, rockshelters and caves have yielded prehistoric artefacts which can be characterized as Palaeolithic. as mentioned in this paper, which are mainly situated in Palawan Island and in Luzon Island and are mainly composed of unretouched flakes, choppers and other unifacially retouched pebble tools.
