Small, rural drinking water treatment (DWT) plants typically use only chlorine to implement the disinfection process. For these plants, free chlorine residual (FCR) serves as a key performance measure for disinfection. The FCR is stated as the concentration of free chlorine remaining in the water, after the chlorine has oxidized the target contaminants.Small, rural drinking water treatment (DWT) plants typically use only chlorine to implement the disinfection process.

Businesses are increasingly using artificial intelligence (AI) to generate media content, including news, to engage their customers. Now, we’re even seeing AI used for the “gamification” of news—that is, to create interactivity associated with news content.Businesses are increasingly using artificial intelligence (AI) to generate media content, including news, to engage their customers.

Levi Strauss Canada is yet another company facing allegations of forced labor in its supply chain. The allegations, which Levi Strauss denies, center on whether the company is working with suppliers using Uyghur forced labor. With over 27 million people worldwide in forced labor, we can expect to witness similar allegations elsewhere in the coming years.Levi Strauss Canada is yet another company facing allegations of forced labor in its supply chain.

This shape-changing robot just got a lot smaller. In a new study, engineers at the University of Colorado Boulder debuted mCLARI, a 2-centimeter-long modular robot that can passively change its shape to squeeze through narrow gaps in multiple directions. It weighs less than a gram but can support over three times its body weight as an additional payload.This shape-changing robot just got a lot smaller.
