Infrastructure Leakage Index Assessment in Large Water Systems
Procedia Engineering, 2014 AbstractThe evaluation of water loss level in water supply systems through performance indicators is a crucial issue, which has long been debated. The Infrastructure Leakage Index (ILI) is derived from the structural and operational characteristics of the network. Some parameters, such as the length of service connections, may be difficult to estimate;

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Aldehyde dehydrogenase 1A1 (ALDH1A1) is a cancer stem cell marker in several malignancies. We established a novel epithelial cell line from rectal adenocarcinoma with unique overexpression of this enzyme. Genetic attenuation of ALDH1A1 led to increased invasive capacity and metastatic potential, the inhibition of proliferation activity, and ultimately ...
