The document discusses rethinking resource recovery from wastewater by focusing on human urine as a valuable nutrient source. It provides examples of projects that recover nutrients from urine through processes like struvite precipitation and treatment with willow plants. These approaches can help close nutrient loops and reduce costs compared to conventional wastewater treatment. The document advocates for viewing human excreta as a resource rather than a waste and designing sanitation systems accordingly.
The document discusses the development of composting toilets on Christmas Island to address water scarcity issues. It summarizes that community consultation was crucial to the success of the toilets. The designers conducted extensive community meetings and incorporated local needs and preferences into the toilet design, such as reducing the height and incorporating local materials. As a result of these efforts and an education program run by local liaisons, over 100 toilets have been successfully built and accepted by the community. The paper concludes that while technical design is important, community support is key to project success.

The document discusses water usage and conservation. It notes that only 0.007% of water on Earth is potable and that all living things require water. Billions of people lack access to clean water, resulting in millions of deaths each year from water-related diseases. While developed countries like Spain have expanded water infrastructure, conservation is still important given unequal water distribution and the costs of treatment. Small actions like fixing leaks, limiting shower time, and catching rain water can significantly reduce individual water usage.
Kupple Waterless Urinals provide a hygienic solution that does not require water, cartridges, or chemicals. Unlike conventional urinals, Kupple urinals use a nano-silver glaze coating and flap technology to prevent odor and staining without the need for flushing water. This makes the urinals completely maintenance-free and allows significant water and cost savings compared to traditional flush urinals. Kupple urinals are estimated to save around 100,000 liters of water per unit per year.
- The document describes a wastewater processing system called BionomicTM that uses anaerobic digestion and microalgae to treat wastewater in a more sustainable way.
- Organic materials are broken down anaerobically to produce biogas for energy. Pathogenic microbes are also digested. Dissolved nutrients are removed by microalgae without chemicals.
- The treated water has higher oxygen levels and no greenhouse gases are emitted since gases are captured for energy. Infrastructure costs are reduced by 76% through energy generation and avoided costs.

Developing the urban circular water economyRobert Brears
Around the world, there is a transition towards the ‘circular economy’ that focuses on the 3Rs of reducing material
consumption, reusing materials, and recovering materials from waste. In the context of urban water resources management, a variety of cities and their respective water utilities are implementing circular economy concepts that promote the reduction of water consumption, reuse of water, and recovery of materials from wastewater.
This document discusses ways to save water and money at home using water efficient devices from Eco365days. Installing aerators on taps can reduce water usage by up to 75% without affecting rinse ability. Flow restrictors on sinks can lower water usage by 60%. Water efficient showers cut usage by 33-60% without compromising bath experience. Displacement devices in toilet tanks save 3 liters per flush, potentially saving a family of 4 around 17,500 liters annually. Adopting these water saving devices provides significant savings on water bills and helps the environment.
This document discusses ways to save water in sustainable buildings. It notes that buildings account for a large portion of energy, electricity, carbon emissions, and water usage in the US. To reduce water consumption, it recommends using water efficient appliances like low-flow faucets and showerheads, dual-flush toilets, and waterless urinals. It also suggests using alternative water sources like greywater recycling, rainwater harvesting, and captured air conditioning condensation. With these strategies, the document cites an example of a LEED platinum school that achieved a 93% reduction in water usage from the local supply.
Human excretion and water are important topics. Human excretion is the process by which the body removes waste, with key parts being the urinary system, intestines, lungs and skin. Water, or H2O, makes up 70% of the human body and is vital for life. It is also important for excretion, as sweat and urine contain water. The document discusses human excretion, water, and how water aids the excretion process.

Comparative analysis between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquapon...bijceesjournal
The aquaponic system of planting is a method that does not require soil usage. It is a method that only needs water, fish, lava rocks (a substitute for soil), and plants. Aquaponic systems are sustainable and environmentally friendly. Its use not only helps to plant in small spaces but also helps reduce artificial chemical use and minimizes excess water use, as aquaponics consumes 90% less water than soil-based gardening. The study applied a descriptive and experimental design to assess and compare conventional and reconstructed aquaponic methods for reproducing tomatoes. The researchers created an observation checklist to determine the significant factors of the study. The study aims to determine the significant difference between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquaponics systems propagating tomatoes in terms of height, weight, girth, and number of fruits. The reconstructed aquaponics system’s higher growth yield results in a much more nourished crop than the traditional aquaponics system. It is superior in its number of fruits, height, weight, and girth measurement. Moreover, the reconstructed aquaponics system is proven to eliminate all the hindrances present in the traditional aquaponics system, which are overcrowding of fish, algae growth, pest problems, contaminated water, and dead fish.

Optimizing Gradle Builds - Gradle DPE Tour Berlin 2024Sinan KOZAK
Sinan from the Delivery Hero mobile infrastructure engineering team shares a deep dive into performance acceleration with Gradle build cache optimizations. Sinan shares their journey into solving complex build-cache problems that affect Gradle builds. By understanding the challenges and solutions found in our journey, we aim to demonstrate the possibilities for faster builds. The case study reveals how overlapping outputs and cache misconfigurations led to significant increases in build times, especially as the project scaled up with numerous modules using Paparazzi tests. The journey from diagnosing to defeating cache issues offers invaluable lessons on maintaining cache integrity without sacrificing functionality.

DEEP LEARNING FOR SMART GRID INTRUSION DETECTION: A HYBRID CNN-LSTM-BASED MODELijaia
As digital technology becomes more deeply embedded in power systems, protecting the communication
networks of Smart Grids (SG) has emerged as a critical concern. Distributed Network Protocol 3 (DNP3)
represents a multi-tiered application layer protocol extensively utilized in Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA)-based smart grids to facilitate real-time data gathering and control functionalities.
Robust Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are necessary for early threat detection and mitigation because
of the interconnection of these networks, which makes them vulnerable to a variety of cyberattacks. To
solve this issue, this paper develops a hybrid Deep Learning (DL) model specifically designed for intrusion
detection in smart grids. The proposed approach is a combination of the Convolutional Neural Network
(CNN) and the Long-Short-Term Memory algorithms (LSTM). We employed a recent intrusion detection
dataset (DNP3), which focuses on unauthorized commands and Denial of Service (DoS) cyberattacks, to
train and test our model. The results of our experiments show that our CNN-LSTM method is much better
at finding smart grid intrusions than other deep learning algorithms used for classification. In addition,
our proposed approach improves accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score, achieving a high detection
accuracy rate of 99.50%.

Gas agency management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
The project entitled "Gas Agency" is done to make the manual process easier by making it a computerized system for billing and maintaining stock. The Gas Agencies get the order request through phone calls or by personal from their customers and deliver the gas cylinders to their address based on their demand and previous delivery date. This process is made computerized and the customer's name, address and stock details are stored in a database. Based on this the billing for a customer is made simple and easier, since a customer order for gas can be accepted only after completing a certain period from the previous delivery. This can be calculated and billed easily through this. There are two types of delivery like domestic purpose use delivery and commercial purpose use delivery. The bill rate and capacity differs for both. This can be easily maintained and charged accordingly.
Advanced control scheme of doubly fed induction generator for wind turbine us...IJECEIAES
This paper describes a speed control device for generating electrical energy on an electricity network based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used for wind power conversion systems. At first, a double-fed induction generator model was constructed. A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.
