History of the toilet
Download as PPTX, PDF1 like1,528 views
Toilets have evolved significantly over time, starting as early as the 1500s when Sir John Harington invented the first flush toilet, though it did not gain widespread popularity until the late 1800s and early 1900s as indoor plumbing became more commonplace. Modern toilets continue to be improved for better sanitation and convenience.

The Aqueduct of Rome carried clean water into the city to supply the large public baths and support the massive population. Romans built aqueducts to transport fresh water from distant sources to sustain their baths and allow the population to access clean water for drinking, bathing, and flushing waste systems.Toilets

The history of toilets began over 2800 years ago when King Minos of Crete had the first recorded flushing water closet. During Roman times, sewer systems with running water were developed. In 1596, Sir John Harington invented the first modern flush toilet, installing it in Queen Elizabeth I's palace. The first patent for a flushing toilet was issued in 1775 to Scottish inventor Alexander Cummings. Throughout the 1800s and 1900s, improvements were made such as indoor plumbing, elevated tanks, and the modern close tank and bowl design. Today, various technologies exist such as gravity fed, water saving, pressure assisted, and vacuum toilets.Public toilet

This document provides construction guidelines for a waterless composting toilet. It begins with background information on pathogens found in sewage and how composting toilets can provide sanitation without spreading disease. It then details the materials and step-by-step instructions for building the composting toilet chambers, false floor, evapotranspiration garden, and surrounding structure. Technical drawings and specifications are also included to ensure proper construction and operation of the toilet. The guidelines aim to demonstrate how composting toilets can be a sustainable sanitation option.Toilets

The document summarizes the inauguration of the first bio sewage treatment plant (STP) at Anusandhan Vihar in Delhi. The STP uses a bio-digester technology developed by DRDO that reduces the size and cost of STPs by 30-40% compared to conventional designs. The bio-digester breaks down human waste completely through anaerobic bacteria into reusable treated water and gas. The STP installed at Anusandhan Vihar treats the sewage of 112 flats through an eco-friendly, low maintenance design.Intro to bathroom Design

Blind spots in AI and Formulation Science, IFPAC 2025.pdfAjaz Hussain
Ìý
The intersection of AI and pharmaceutical formulation science highlights significant blind spots—systemic gaps in pharmaceutical development, regulatory oversight, quality assurance, and the ethical use of AI—that could jeopardize patient safety and undermine public trust. To move forward effectively, we must address these normalized blind spots, which may arise from outdated assumptions, errors, gaps in previous knowledge, and biases in language or regulatory inertia. This is essential to ensure that AI and formulation science are developed as tools for patient-centered and ethical healthcare.EDL 290F Week 3 - Mountaintop Views (2025).pdf

Blind Spots in AI and Formulation Science Knowledge Pyramid (Updated Perspect...Ajaz Hussain
Ìý
This presentation delves into the systemic blind spots within pharmaceutical science and regulatory systems, emphasizing the significance of "inactive ingredients" and their influence on therapeutic equivalence. These blind spots, indicative of normalized systemic failures, go beyond mere chance occurrences and are ingrained deeply enough to compromise decision-making processes and erode trust.
Historical instances like the 1938 FD&C Act and the Generic Drug Scandals underscore how crisis-triggered reforms often fail to address the fundamental issues, perpetuating inefficiencies and hazards.
The narrative advocates a shift from reactive crisis management to proactive, adaptable systems prioritizing continuous enhancement. Key hurdles involve challenging outdated assumptions regarding bioavailability, inadequately funded research ventures, and the impact of vague language in regulatory frameworks.
The rise of large language models (LLMs) presents promising solutions, albeit with accompanying risks necessitating thorough validation and seamless integration.
Tackling these blind spots demands a holistic approach, embracing adaptive learning and a steadfast commitment to self-improvement. By nurturing curiosity, refining regulatory terminology, and judiciously harnessing new technologies, the pharmaceutical sector can progress towards better public health service delivery and ensure the safety, efficacy, and real-world impact of drug products.Principle and Practices of Animal Breeding || Boby Basnet
