This study aims to develop a dynamic system model that describes the relationship ofwater, socio-economic, and water resources (lake size) sub-systems in Situ Binong. In addition,this study also aims to make predictions of water resources conditions (lake size) Situ Binong forthe next 5 years. The model is prepared using a dynamic system approach. The Situ Binong waterflow model is available water resources consisting of 3 sub-systems namely natural water flowsub-systems, socio-economic, and water resources Situ Binong. The result of the research showsthat the requirement of Situ Binong water resources every year is increasing so that the volume ofSitu Binong is decreasing. In addition, the volume of water resources Situ Binong influenced bysupply and demand. Supply comes from domestic waste and natural water flow such asprecipitation, infiltration and surface flow. While demand comes from WTP intake, irrigation, andevaporation.

In this paper, water flow in a 4 m height column with an unsaturated soil that is subjected to multiple infiltration events for a 62 day period is investigated. One-dimensional (1D) numerical analysis is also undertaken to analyze the flow, extending the seepage theory for unsaturated soils. Results highlight the formation of two wetting fronts; namely, wetting front I and wetting front II that are induced by the first and subsequent infiltration events, respectively. There is a stable zone where the water content is approximately constant; it forms between the two fronts. A conceptual model of the suction profile is proposed for interpreting in situ water flow by dividing the unsaturated zone into four distinct zones; namely, active, steady, transition, and capillary fringe zones. This division is helpful for providing a rational explanation of water flow in different zones. Novel contributions from this study include a relationship between the hydraulic properties in the steady zone and the flow velocity, which is determined by an average influx rate. In addition, the rate of groundwater recharge can also be estimated using the average influx rate. Results of the present study are useful to understand and interpret the relationship between water infiltration and suction or water content profile in the unsaturated zone as well as variation of groundwater table level.

Electron microscopy at 0.2nm point-to-point resolution, 10-10 torr specimei region vacuum and facilities for in-situ specimen cleaning presents intere; ing possibilities for surface structure determination. Three methods for examining the surfaces are available: reflection (REM), transmission (TEM) and profile imaging. Profile imaging is particularly useful because it giv good resolution perpendicular as well as parallel to the surface, and can therefore be used to determine the relationship between the surface and the bulk structure.

There are more supports for the view that human papillomavirus (HPV) infection might be an etiological factor in the development of cervical cancer when the association of persistent condylomata is considered. Biopsies from 318 cases with squamous cell carcinoma of uterine cervix, 48 with cervical and vulvar condylomata, 14 with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN), 34 with chronic cervicitis and 24 normal cervical epithelium were collected from 5 geographic regions of China with different cervical cancer mortalities. All specimens were prepared for Dot blot, Southern blot and in situ DNA-DNA hybridizations by using HPV-11, 16, 18 DNA labelled with 32P and 3H as probes to detect viral homologous sequences in samples. Among them, 32 cases with cervical cancer, 27 with condyloma and 10 normal cervical epitheliums were randomly chosen for comparative EM observation. The results showed that: 1), 192 out of 318 (60.4%) cases of cervical cancer were positive for HPV-16 DNA probe (Table I)

The aim of the study was to compare the concentrations of risk elements (As, Cu, Mn, Ni, Pb, Zn) in alluvial soil, which were measured by a portable X-ray fluorescence analyser (pXRF) in situ (FIELD) and in the laboratory (LABORATORY). Subsequently, regression equations were developed for individual elements through the method of construction of the regression model, which compare the results of pXRF with classical laboratory analysis (ICP-OES). The accuracy of the measurement, expressed by the coefficient of determination (R2), was as follows in the case of FIELD–ICP-OES: Pb (0.96), Zn (0.92), As (0.72), Mn (0.63), Cu (0.31) and Ni (0.01). In the case of LABORATORY–ICP-OES, the coefficients had values: Pb (0.99), Zn (0.98), Cu and Mn (0.89), As (0.88), Ni (0.81). A higher dependence of the relationship was recorded between LABORATORY–ICP-OES than between FIELD–ICP-OES. An excellent relationship was recorded for the elements Pb and Zn, both for FIELD and LABORATORY (R2 higher than 0.90). The elements Cu, Mn and As have a worse tightness in the relationship; however, the results of the model have shown its applicability for common use, e.g., in agricultural practice or in monitoring the quality of the environment. Based on our results, we can say that pXRF instruments can provide highly accurate results for the concentration of risk elements in the soil in real time for some elements and meet the principle of precision agriculture: an efficient, accurate and fast method of analysis.

The objective of this study is to demonstrate the successful functionalization of the surface of a chalcogenide infrared waveguide with the ultimate goal of developing an infrared micro-sensor device. First, a polyisobutylene coating was selected by testing its physico-chemical compatibility with a Ge-Sb-Se selenide surface. To simulate the chalcogenide platform infrared sensor, the detection of benzene, toluene, and ortho-, meta- and para-xylenes was efficaciously performed using a polyisobutylene layer spin-coated on 1 and 2.5 µm co-sputtered selenide films of Ge28Sb12Se60 composition deposited on a zinc selenide prism used for attenuated total reflection spectroscopy. The thickness of the polymer coating was optimized by attenuated total reflection spectroscopy to achieve the highest possible attenuation of water absorption while maintaining the diffusion rate of the pollutant through the polymer film compatible with the targeted in situ analysis. Then, natural water, i.e., groundwater, wastewater, and seawater, was sampled for detection measurement by means of attenuated total reflection spectroscopy. This study is a valuable contribution concerning the functionalization by a hydrophobic polymer compatible with a chalcogenide optical sensor designed to operate in the mid-infrared spectral range to detect in situ organic molecules in natural water.
