Urban Hydrogeology Studies
Urbanization worldwide is a pervasive phenomenon of our time, and sustainable urban development is one of the greatest challenges faced by the contemporary world. The subsurface plays a range of roles in such developments through the complex processes of urbanization, including building development, constructing roads, and providing water supplies, drainage, sanitation, and even solid waste disposal.Urban groundwater problems are usually predictable; however, they are not predicted early enough. During recent decades, progressive advances in the scientific understanding of urban hydrogeological processes and the groundwater regimes of a substantial number of cities have been documented.

Transport in Transition
Water transport is a major feature of the traditional Chinese economy because of its magnitude and comparative efficiency. Yet this feature has all too often been ignored by scholars, with the notable exception of Japanese scholars. We cannot hope to gain any real conception of how the Chinese economy worked in the past, or works now, until we have a clearer picture of the circulation of men and commodities. In this circulation, water transport has been and is of crucial importance. Transport in Transition collects and translates notable Japanese articles to throw some light on the evolution of traditional junk shipping during a key transitional phase, 1900–1940, when it was absorbing the influences of various forms of modernization and on the eve of its major organizational transformation under the direction of the Communisty Party.

The Role Of The Extra-Man Play Actions In Elite Water Polo Matches: Which Elements Lead To A Good Shot?
In water polo, two teams comprised of six outfield players and a goalkeeper compete for four quarters of 8 minutes’ real play in a playing area of 30x20m. Each team has 30 seconds to complete an action. A frequent situation thought to be very significant to the final result of a match is the extra-man play action. After a major foul a player is sent out of play for 20 seconds. The attacking team, with a series of passes and player movements must quickly try to disrupt the defence and enable a shot. And defence has to work on coordination of movement between players so that the attack finds it difficult to score too easily. Coaches dedicate a lot of time to training their team to attack and defend in an extra-man situation.

Preparation of Nanomaterial Modified Electrode and Its Sensing Application
Electrochemical sensors have attracted enormous attention for their precision, high sensitivity, rapid response, and ease-of-use for analysis. Electrochemical sensors use an electrode as transducer element for the target.

Quantitative Assessment of Environmental/ Human Health Risks
Abstract: Trace elements were measured in soil and groundwater collected within the Fornaci di Barga urban area (Serchio River Valley, Tuscany, Italy), a territory that integrates natural assets with touristic vocation, impacted by long-lasting metallurgical activity.

Prevalence, Fate and Effects of Plastic in Freshwater Environments
At a time when a global pandemic rightly holds our collective attention, environmental issues have taken a backseat to the ongoing battle against Covid-19. However, when normality resumes (or a new normal emerges), these environmental concerns will return to the fore and few issues are as tangible or emotive as plastic pollution.

Phenolic Compounds in Food
Oxidative stress is involved in the onset and development of several human diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, ageing, cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases. Antioxidants from one’s diet, which counteract oxidative stress, may offer protection toward these pathological conditions.
