Abstract Background Populations of the earthworm, Lumbricus rubellus, are commonly found across highly contaminated former mine sites and are considered to have under-gone selection for mitigating metal toxicity.Comparison of adapted populations with those found on less contaminated soils can provide insights into ecological processes that demonstr
Design Storms for First Flush Modelling at Sewer Inlets
First flush is one of the key phenomena Sofa in the dynamics of pollutants in urban drainage.It is affected by a number of factors, like the characteristics of urban surfaces and drainage systems, the rainfall patterns, the street sweeping frequency and efficiency, and the gully pot features.This paper discusses how a storm event can maximize pollu
Diaquabis(dimethyl sulfoxide-κO)bis(saccharinato-κN)cobalt(II)
The title complex, [Co(C7H4NO3S)2(C2H6OS)2(H2O)2], contains a Co2+ cation in an octahedral coordination environment.The metal atom is surrounded by two different neutral ligands, namely dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) and water, each coordinating through the O atom.The anionic saccharinate (sac; 1,1,3-trioxo-2,3-dihydro-1λ6,2-benzothiazol-2-ide)

Evaluation of Rust code verbosity, understandability and complexity
Rust is an innovative programming language initially implemented by Mozilla, developed to ensure high performance, reliability, and productivity.The final purpose Swaddle of this study consists of applying a set of common static software metrics to programs written in Rust to assess the verbosity, understandability, organization, complexity, and ma
