Accordingly, this paper employs the Monte Carlo method with 999 simulations to plot the impulse response function graph, with a time span of 0–10 phases. The impulse response results are depicted in Fig. 4. The horizontal axis represents the number of response periods of the variable, the ...
Reusable cloth masks generate the highest score in the category of water scarcity, and the second and third-lowest score in the category of ionising radiation, following Scenario M3. Hot-spot analysis revealed that both categories are highly affected by the cleaning of face masks in washing ...
The presence of visible plastic debris, including MPs, can create an unattractive appearance in rivers, lakes, oceans, and other water sources. This pollution can be particularly noticeable along shorelines and beaches [22]. According to Ref. [23], MPs can change the soil's physical structure...
The graph is generated using the Energy-Water nexus tool (http://nexus.hydroviz.org) Full size image The impact on the water system due to thermal power generation may vary according to the configurations of the power plant under consideration (e.g., fuel type, cooling type, and plant ...
The diversity of the measures highlighted by the respondents is low and mostly short-term adjustments. This raises the question of what prevents respondents from adopting new technologies as adaptation measures. The analysis of constraints listed by respondents showed that water scarcity and accessibility...
Thus, the assessment of impacts by CC and LUC have garnered considerable attention from the scientific community, as well as decision-makers, for the optimal management of water resources from the perspective of increasing water scarcity [13,14]. Studies have been conducted to examine climate ...
The horizontal axis on the graph represents the number of periods before and after the implementation of the PARP, while the vertical axis indicates the average education investment per-student for the relocated households. Each dot plotted along the trend line corresponds to the estimated coefficient...
44 ARGs subtypes were found in the water, and 38 were discovered in the sediment; we then explore the factors influencing the behavior of ARGs within the coastal lagoon. The principal Antibiotic Resistance Gene (ARG) type was macrolides-lincosamides-streptogramins B, while macB was the most...
The Budyko water balance is a fundamental concept in hydrology that links aridity to how precipitation is divided between evapotranspiration and streamflow. While the model is powerful, its ability to explain temporal changes and the influence of human a
