An environmental classification of disease groups, such as the water-related and excreta-related diseases, groups the diseases into categories of common environmental transmission routes. Category I comprises the feco-oral diseases that are transmitted from person to person either by fecally-contaminated...

(−45.2 kcal/mol) is related to the2-S2structure, where the Tyr35 appears in a shifted configuration (Fig.3c). This conformation probably allows easier solvation of the pocket (lower resolvation energy barrier). Overall, a clear difference between the short and long residence time ...
The water chemistry of a spring is related to its geological setting. For example, in the Appalachian region of North America, limestone springs tend to have relatively alkaline hard water, rich in calcium and bicarbonate ions and low in hydrogen ions (pH ≥ 7), whereas sandstone springs tend...
