Article Abstract
An event-driven, urban, drinking water quality early warning and control system (DEWS) is proposed to cope with China's urgent need for protecting its urban drinking water. The DEWS has a web service structure and provides users with water quality monitoring functions, water quality early warning functions, and water quality accident decision-making functions. The DEWS functionality is guided by the principles of control theory and risk assessment as applied to the feedback control of urban water supply systems. The DEWS has been deployed in several large Chinese cities and found to perform well insofar as water quality early warning and emergency decision-making is concerned. This paper describes a DEWS for urban water quality protection that has been developed in China.

Correlations Between Textural Properties of Potato Chips and Diffusion Coefficients of Frying Oils.

In this study, potato slices were fried in four different vegetable oils (corn, olive, palm olein, and sunflower) to investigate how oil type influences the characteristics of potato chips. The diffusion coefficient of oils was attempted to be correlated with the final moisture, oil uptake, and textural parameters of potato chips. The diffusion coefficients were determined using two approaches.

This review discusses the research progress of regulating tree dwarfing in fruit tree rootstocks, including its definition, manifestation, mechanism and application of different rootstocks. Studies indicate that dwarfing rootstocks reduce vegetative growth while promoting reproductive growth. Compared with vigorous rootstocks, the contents of indole-3-acetic acid, cytokinin, and gibberellin in leaves is lower, while the content of abscisic acid is higher.

Horticultural crops are increasingly exposed to simultaneous abiotic stresses such as drought, salinity, and temperature extremes, which often exacerbate each other's effects, leading to severe yield and quality losses. Addressing these multifaceted challenges necessitates the development and application of integrated and innovative strategies. This review highlights recent advancements in methodologies to enhance the resilience of horticultural crops against combined abiotic stresses.

Pipeline cleaning is essential for maintaining water quality and safeguarding public health within water distribution networks. Although ice slurry pigging is widely adopted due to its effectiveness and environmental advantages, challenges remain in accurately quantifying cleaning efficacy and optimising maintenance intervals. This study develops a stress-driven wall material removal model calibrated using field-measured turbidity data, allowing for a comprehensive assessment of cleaning effectiveness based on post-cleaning shear resistance.

Chlorine dioxide (ClO) has been emerging as an alternative to chlorine for disinfection due to the lower formation of regulated organic disinfection byproducts (DBPs). This pilot-scale study investigated the impacts of ClO pre-oxidation and delayed chlorination on regulated and unregulated DBPs. These included trihalomethanes (THMs), haloacetic acids (HAAs), halonitromethanes (HNMs), chloral hydrate, chlorite, and chlorate.
