Cost-effectiveness of comparative survey designs for helminth control programs: Post-hoc cost analysis and modelling of the Kenyan national school-based deworming program. by Mark Minnery, Collins Okoyo, Grace Morgan, Andrew Wang, Olatunji Johnson, Claudio Fronterre, Antonio Montresor, Suzy J Campbell, Charles Mwandawiro, Peter Diggle

“…<h4>Interpretation</h4>Efficiency gains are possible for deworming surveys when considering cost alone, such as through minimizing sample or analysis costs. However further efficiency maximization is possible when designing surveys using MBG given its improved precision and ability to optimize the balance between number of schools and sample size per school.…”

Novel palm peat lignocellulosic adsorbent derived from agricultural residues for efficient methylene blue dye removal from textile wastewater by Mohamed Mohamed Gaber, Hassan Shokry, Ahmed H. Hassanin, Said Awad, Mahmoud Samy, Marwa Elkady

“…Although higher temperatures enhanced MB removal efficiencies, room temperature (30 °C) was chosen for subsequent experiments to assess adsorption performance under ambient conditions and minimize energy consumption. Stirring speeds exceeding 900 rpm reduce MB removal efficiency, likely due to shear forces disrupting the interaction between MB molecules and PP or causing desorption of previously adsorbed dye molecules. …”
