Fundamentals and Applications of Renewable Energy
Energy efficiency is a big factor in fossils fuels in order to reduce energy consumption without reducing the quality of living, however renewable energy can replace fossil fuels. Fossils fuels when used emits pollutants that accumulates overtime in the atmosphere, oceans, and land which when it reaches a certain threshold it might not be possible to reduce these pollutants. Renewable energy cannot be fully utilized as of now because of economical and technological limitations but with time we will be able to fully utilize the Renewable Energy that abundant all around us.
Nalco Water Handbook, Fourth Edition
Water is the most important resource which is essential in our daily activities. We can survive without electricity however the same could not be said when water is absent. This handbook covers water management fundamentals, impurity removal, cooling water systems, post treatment and other topics. With todays prevailing issues, including water scarcity, stressors and business risks. We must take good care of our water sources to ensure that we always have clean and usable water available.
Practical Hydrogeology: Principles and Field Applications, Third Edition
One of the main tasks of a hydrogeologist is to predict the future behavior of an aquifer system based on different analyses of past and present observations. Using a simulation of hydrologic system (using numerical models or analytical equations), different factors also affect the aquifer system such as its properties and boundaries. Hydrogeology focuses on the legal interactions between soil, water, nature and society. This has the combined knowledge of various experts in the field as the Hydrogeology is a fairly broad topic to provide a fairly comprehensive single reference.

Serological determinants of COVID-19
There are many commercial rapid tests that have been developed over the course of the pandemic with different effectiveness, the introduction of the serological tests became the main diagnostic tool. When it comes to the effectiveness of the tests, the IgM POCT FIA method vs CLIA method (gold standard) has a low sensitivity (0.526), while IgG POCT FIA method vs CLIA method (gold standard) test has a much higher sensitivity (0.937). When it comes to rapid test efficiency and accuracy is what is important.
The immune system view of the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2.
The coronavirus SARS CoV-2 has various effects on a person immune system because each individual has a certain response when dealing with a certain virus. The way this virus is lethal is that when it comes to individuals with a weakened or compromised immune system, they develop various complications which could prove fatal. Understanding how the virus interacts with our immune system could lead to finding a vaccine or other preventive measures to lessen the effect of the symptoms.
Can COVID-19 pandemic boost the epidemic of neurodegenerative diseases?
Due the pandemic neurodegenerative disease cases are increasing because of the change in lifestyle and environment. Drastic changes affect our bodies in different ways some can adapt easily while others might struggle with these changes, it might not affect us immediately but in the long run it will definitely cause some problems, the brain and every other part of our body are interconnected once something is affected others will definitely be impacted as well. So in this time of a pandemic take good care of your body and mind.
