Summary: The study found a correlation between resistance bacteria and the presence of virulence genes in the environment. It also revealed a negative correlation between antibiotic resistance and the presence of virulence genes. Although no significant association was found between commercial hog operations and virulence, some sub-significant associations should be further studied.

Summary: By combining 3D water flow numerical modeling with LC-HRMS/MS, this study investigated the influence of water flow on micropollutant removal in surface flow wetlands. The results showed that lower flow rate areas had higher concentrations of micropollutant metabolites or degradation products, indicating higher biological activity promoting degradation.

Summary: Considering the interaction between surface and subsurface is crucial for predicting water movement and quality in the environment. In this study, a new efficient coupling routine for 1D surface-subsurface modeling was developed by combining KINEROS2 (K2) and HYDRUS-1D (H1D) open-source codes. The approach successfully accounted for surface ponding and water exchange between the two model domains, allowing for accurate representation of subsurface behavior below each overland flow plane.

Summary: This study evaluated the suitability of data-driven models of different complexity for predicting E. coli concentrations in a river in Gothenburg, Sweden. Models with multiple predictors outperformed univariate models, with Random Forest and TPOT showing higher performance but a tendency of overfitting. Water temperature, microbial concentrations upstream and at the water intake, and precipitation upstream were identified as important predictors.

Summary: This study investigated the occurrence of Escherichia coli and antibiotic-resistant E. coli in the Dutch-German transboundary catchment of the Vecht River. The study found a higher proportion of ESBL-EC in German wastewater treatment plants compared to Dutch plants. The modeling approach predicted E. coli concentrations to be below the threshold for good bathing water quality.

Summary: This study focused on quantifying and assessing environmental flow requirements using SWAT coupled with a finite element groundwater model. The study found that neglecting environmental flow can lead to deterioration in water quantity and quality, impacting the health of the river. By implementing modified management practices, the study showed an improvement in the flow health score for the Upper and Lower Son River.

Summary: In this study, the flash evaporation of sessile droplets was investigated using aerosols with low thermal conductivity as substrates. Experimental results showed that ambient pressure, initial droplet temperature, and size have significant effects on droplet temperature evolution and evaporation rate.

Summary: In this study, a simple and efficient method for detecting and counting E. coli in water samples was developed, which involved the use of a DNAzyme sensor, microfluidics, and computer vision strategies. The method successfully isolated E. coli into individual droplets, and the reaction of DNAzyme mixture with E. coli's intracellular material resulted in fluorescence signal, indicating the presence of E. coli. The computer vision algorithm accurately detected and counted the fluorescent droplets, providing a reliable measurement of E. coli in the sample.

Summary: In this study, the behaviour of the multiphase flow in the anode-porous transport layer and a proton-exchange membrane of an aqueous electrolyzer was investigated using a mixture model. The simulation results showed good agreement between the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model pressure drop profiles and experimental data. Additionally, the effects of various improvement factors on the performance of the PEM water electrolyzer were predicted compared to a Bassline model. The study also highlighted key differences in the flow profile for different inlet and outlet flow configurations, as well as the behaviour of flow volume fraction in porous regions.

Summary: The study revealed a high prevalence of ESBL-EC colonization in humans, but it was not significantly associated with poultry exposure. In these community settings, bidirectional transmission of antibiotic resistance between humans, poultry, and the environment is likely to occur, highlighting the importance of One Health mitigation strategies.

Summary: Influenza virus mutates rapidly and traditional tools are not suitable for rapidly mutating pathogens like Influenza virus. Developing a novel capture coating using sialic acid as a binding receptor may provide a potential platform for future diagnostic and interrogation of viable Influenza virus.
