This paper seeks to contribute to pipeline leakage detection research through collecting and simulating leakage signals under different pressure strengths by combining experiments with numerical simulation. The findings point towards better detection in a real noise environment. Such research is vital in the context of increasing worldwide demand for water and insufficient water supply caused by pipeline leakage.

Current Developments in Nutrition, Volume 8, February 2024
The United Nations urges governments to promote sustainable, healthy diets to combat undernutrition, obesity, and climate change. This paper examines policy insights from high-income countries (HICs) and their applicability to low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Alternative proteins (AP) should be affordable, locally sustainable, and culturally acceptable. Food-based dietary guidelines (FBDGs) should guide AP product development, ensuring they complement traditional proteins. Harmonizing multisectoral policies is crucial for LMICs to achieve a protein transition and food systems transformation by 2050.
