Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Water Movements
The flow of water in enviromental bodies of water such as rivers, oceans, water supplies, aquariums, etc. It includes currents, tides, and waves.
Water Pollutants
Substances or organisms which pollute the water or bodies of water. Use for water pollutants in general or those for which there is no specific heading.
Water Purification
Any of several processes in which undesirable impurities in water are removed or neutralized; for example, chlorination, filtration, primary treatment, ion exchange, and distillation. It includes treatment of waste water to provide potable and hygiene water in a controlled or closed environment as well as provision of public drinking water supplies. (From McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 4th ed)
Fresh Water
Water containing no significant amounts of salts, such as water from RIVERS and lakes.
Water Supply
Source, means, or process of supplying water (as for a community) usually including reservoirs, tunnels, and pipelines and often the watershed from which the water is ultimately drawn. (Webster, 3d ed)

Microencapsulation using an oil-in-water-in-air 'dry water emulsion'.
We describe the first example of a tri-phasic oil-in-water-in-air 'dry water emulsion'. The method combines highly stable oil-in-water emulsions prepared using branched copolymer surfactants, with aqu...
RADON CONCENTRATIONS IN WATER IN THE REGION OF TOKAT CITY IN TURKEY.
The aim of this study is to measure the radon ((222)Rn) concentrations in drinking water and river water in the region of Tokat city in Turkey. The measurements were performed by analysing the water s...
A water-in-supercritical CO(2) microemulsion is a reverse micelle encapsulating a nanometer-size water droplet dispersed in supercritical CO(2). In the microemulsion solution, water exists not only in...
Structures of water molecules at solvent/silica interfaces.
The adsorption of water at solvent/silica interfaces was studied using IR-visible sum frequency generation (SFG) vibrational spectroscopy. We discovered a water layer between toluene and silica with n...
Samples of artesian well, shallow well, surface water, tap water, and bottled water were collected from different areas in Khartoum; these were chemically analyzed and used as diluents to vaccinate ch...
Clinical Trials
The study will evaluate whether the blood concentrations of eletriptan administered using two test formulations of oral disintegrating tablets are comparable to those observed with the sta...
Study of the Effects of a Mineralized Water Ingestion Upon Lipidic Absorption Mechanisms
The principal objective of this research is the evaluation of the effect of mineralized water consumption upon evolution of LDL Cholesterol and triglycerides, compared to a low mineralized...
Water Induced Thermogenesis in Obese Children
Drinking water is largely advocated for obesity prevention and management. Recent studies have suggested that water has a thermogenic effect, this has not been examined in children. In thi...
Oral Water Ingestion in Heart Transplant Patients
In this study the investigators propose to assess the hemodynamic response to the ingestion of 16 fl oz of water. The investigators will test the hypothesis that water ingestion will incr...
Effects of Naturally Silicon-Rich Water on Bone Metabolism in Women
The aim of this research study is to determine by laboratory analyses the effects of drinking silicon-rich water on bone health. This will be determined from blood and urine samples from...
