What Does a Quality Education Look Like in Rural Schools?
Authors: Guenther John , Fuqua Melyssa
Published: March 2024

This issue of the Australian and International Journal of Rural Education features articles that describe and critically analyse rural education, the common thread being  'What Does a Quality Education Look Like in Rural Schools?'. The education settings discussed include Australia, Czechia, Iraq, South Africa, Sweden, Tanzania, and the United States. The studies presented reflect the huge diversity of rural schooling and the many factors that work to support quality education. What does quality rural education look like? It looks like teachers who have a strong connection to place, with strategies for teaching that connect with students from the place. It looks like teachers who are flexible and open to learning. It looks like a supportive system. It looks attractive to parents. It looks like contextualised learning. It looks like parents and communities engaged in their children's learning at school. It is potentially transformative. It looks like a workforce that has good access to professional learning options. It looks like good governance, with local Elders and community leaders involved and driving a vision for education. It looks like strong peer relationships, and a culturally safe learning environment. It does not necessarily look like the narrowly defined metrics that are often used to define success or the deficits that are too often described in association with rural education.

Authors: Krithika S  , Sangeetha T A
Published: March 2024

In comparison to machine learning algorithms, deep learning algorithms are more effective in terms of their ability to make accurate predictions about agricultural data. When trying to attain better outcomes, the accuracy and efficiency of the algorithm are highly crucial factors to consider. In order to help the farmers to accurately predict the yields of their crops, the study of agricultural data is of great assistance. This resulted in a significant amount of study, and the researchers used a variety of data to make predictions on the yields of the various crops. The primary objective of this study is to locate a more effective deep learning algorithm that may be used to forecast crop production. Hence the SLR was carried out and finally identified 20 opted research articles related to deep learning models utilized in agricultural data prediction.  As a result, this SLR discovered that the LSTM-based deep learning models provide more accurate predictions when applied to agricultural data sets. A great number of research papers made use of the same model for better results.
Machine Learning Based Classification of Medical Images of Melanoma Using Transfer Based Learning
Authors: Barakam Ved , Sarmadi Morteza
Published: March 2024

Over 7650 people died from the United States died from melanoma just within 2022, with this number projected to increase by 4.4% in 2023 according to the Skin Cancer Foundation. By accurately diagnosing this disease and implementing an accurate model into the healthcare space for clinical decision-making, early classification of skin lesions may increase the likelihood of treatment before cancer metastasis. Machine learning diagnosis has gained attention in the previous years and has been proven to contribute to the early diagnosis of various diseases. In the context of skin cancer diagnosis, there is a limited amount of medical images, making it challenging to utilize typical machine learning approaches for classification. Therefore, in this work, we utilize transfer learning for the automated classification of medical images of melanoma into benign and malignant. Accordingly, we develop a transfer based algorithm based on a pre-trained InceptionV3 and a VGG16 model in Python. We compared the performance of these two models in order to evaluate the optimal model. The number of epochs and the learning rate were optimized for both models. In order to assess the model, we utilize a variety of metrics, including confusion matrix, ROC, AUC, accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, precision, and F1 score. The results of this study demonstrated that an optimized VGG16 model outperformed VGG16 and was able to successfully classify at least 90% of testing images. The developed model can potentially contribute to the early and automated diagnosis of melanoma in clinical settings.
Classification of Datasets Based on Combination Algorithm of Clustering and Neural Network
Authors:   Hosei University, Japan, Yang Yingfei , Li Lei ,   Hosei University, Japan
Published: March 2024

How to get the needed information from the data accurately and effectively for analysis is a hot research topic nowadays. Accurate classification of data is the basis for smooth data analysis. In order to classify data effectively, scholars have proposed some classification algorithms, and the most frequently mentioned one is k-means algorithm. However, in previous studies, scholars have directly determined the number of classes to be classified for the data set to be classified. Therefore, in this paper, a combinatorial algorithm is proposed to improve the classification of data with unknown group classes. The clustering algorithm and neural network are also combined to improve classification accuracy. The main elements of the algorithm proposed in this paper are as follows. First, one-third of a set of unknown group class data is selected as the sample data. In order to accurately assess the characteristics of a set of anonymous group class data, it is important first to choose a sample of the data. A sample of one-third of the total data set should be sufficient to provide a reliable representation of the entire population. This sample should be selected at random in order to ensure that the results of the assessment are as accurate as possible. The number of classes is determined by using hierarchical clustering method on the sample data. Then, the non-hierarchical clustering k-means method is used to classify the sample data. Finally, the classification results are trained as the training items of the neural network, and then the model generated after the training is used to classify the overall data. This paper selects three datasets with different kinds, different numbers of variables, and different amounts of data for the experiments and analysis. This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of three distinct datasets. Each dataset has its own unique characteristics, such as its type, the number of variables, and the amount of data contained therein. By leveraging the properties of these datasets, the experiments, and analysis conducted in this paper will provide valuable insights into the data structures and trends contained within. Furthermore, the results from this analysis will serve as a foundation for further research and experimentation. The experimental results show that the combination of clustering algorithm and neural network algorithm will help to improve the accuracy of data classification and identification effectively. This research provides a new way to accurately and effectively perform data classification. Keywords: hierarchical clustering; k-means; neural network; data classification.

A REVIEW ON CURRENT ASPECTS OF NUTRACEUTICALS AND DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS
Authors: Vishvakarma Prabhakar , Mandal Suraj , Verma Ashish
Published: March 2024

Using food products to promote health and cure disease is renowned.  Currently, most of the drug molecules available in the formulations were  anciently used in their crude form. Dr Stephen De Felice first coins the term  Nutraceutics in 1989 to provide medical or health benefits including the  prevention and treatment of diseases. Although the term "nutraceutical" is  now recognized internationally as a linguistic combination of “nutrient”  and “pharmaceutical”, and is accepted as “Any substance that may be  considered a food or part of a food and provides medical or health benefits,  including the prevention and treatment of disease.” The greatest challenge  will remain in the public policy and regulatory arenas, which will  encourage research and development of products providing health benefits and permit truthful, nonmisleading communications of these products  while protecting public health and maintaining public confidence.  Nutraceuticals have received considerable interest because of their  presumed safety and potential nutritional and therapeutic effects”.  Pharmaceutical and nutritional companies are aware of the monetary  success taking advantage of the more health-seeking consumers and the  changing trends resulting in a proliferation of these value-added products  aimed at heart health to cancer. Some popular nutraceuticals include  glucosamine, ginseng, echinacea, folic acid, cod liver oil, omega-3 eggs,  calcium-enriched orange juice, green tea etc. Majority of the nutraceuticals  are claimed to possess multiple therapeutic benefits though substantial  evidence is lacking for the benefits as well as unwanted effects. The present  review has been devoted towards better understanding of the nutraceuticals  based on their disease specific indications.

Authors: Amato Alessandra , Cortis Cristina , Culcasi Aleandra , Anello Gaia , Proia Patrizia
Published: March 2024

Introduction

The aim of the study was to evaluate the effects of plyometric and isometric training protocol on power in 46 team sports (basketball: n = 23; volleyball: n = 23) players, also in relation to genetic background (i.e., ACE and PPARA genes polymorphisms).

Methods

The following tests were administered: squat jump (SJ), countermovement jump (CMJ), drop jump (DJ), sprint, handgrip, and agility test. Genetic analysis was based on saliva samples.

Results

The training protocol proved to be effective in improving jump performance in basketball players and volleyball players, respectively: 25-meter sprint test (p = 0.006; p = 0.008); agility test (p = 0.000; p = 0.000); SJ test (p = 0.001; p = 0.000); CMJ test (p = 0.005; p = 0.000); and DJ test (p = 0.03 only for basketball players; DJ test improvement in volleyball players was not significant), regardless of sports practice. Furthermore, data confirm that the ‘D’ allele of ACE and the ‘C’ allele of PPARA are positive alleles associated to power and strength performances.

Conclusions

The importance to train strength skills should be emphasized, above all through isometric and plyometric exercises, not neglecting the key role played by the genetic background.

Published: March 2024

Esta pesquisa se desenvolveu por meio da caracterização das ocorrências de grafitas associadas a três zonas de cisalhamento no Domínio Ceará Central da Província Borborema a saber: Senador Pompeu, Orós e Vazantes. As grafitas ocorrem em rochas metacarbonáticas carbonosas e em xistos grafitosos das unidades Independência e Acopiara. A grafita ocorre tanto disseminada na matriz dos xistos e dos mármores, como na forma de lente em contato discordante com o xisto carbonoso. Uma associação mineral composta por calcita, quartzo, plagioclásio, flogopita e grafita foi observada nas rochas metacarbonáticas, enquanto nos xistos foi observado uma paragênese mineral composta por actinolita-tremolita, quartzo, plagioclásio, biotita, muscovita e grafita. A grafita ocorre disseminada, em todas as amostras estudadas, com forma anedral. Pontualmente, ocorrem com hábito hexagonal e na forma flake. A caracterização mineral permitiu a identificação dos picos característicos da grafita com ângulo 2θ e 31.5º e d-spacing de 3.35 angstroms. A identificação dos picos G nas quatro amostras analisadas em 1577cm-1, sugere altos graus de ordenamento na estrutura cristalina, entretanto a presença dos picos D1 (ca. 1315cm-1) e D2 (ca. 1610cm-1) nos espectros Raman em todas as amostras ainda sugerem defeitos na estrutura cristalina das grafitas analisadas. A partir dos espectros Raman sugere-se valores de temperatura de pico metamórfico entre 585 e 513ºC nas amostras da região de Forquilha-Sobral (DCD-03) e Senador Pompeu (SEP-01), sugerindo condições na fácies anfibolito. Os valores obtidos estão de acordo com a paragênese mineral que também sugere condições na fácies anfibolito. Por fim, é discutido a aplicabilidade tecnológica das grafitas estudadas na indústria.

Authors: Temidayo Olorunsogo  , Boma Sonimiteim Jacks  , Olakunle Abayomi Ajala
Published: March 2024

This paper proposes a novel conceptual framework that integrates the advanced capabilities of quantum computing to address the urgent need for responsible and inclusive Artificial Intelligence (AI) development. It reviews current challenges in AI, such as bias, lack of inclusivity, and the computational limitations faced by classical computing methods in solving complex societal problems. By harnessing quantum computing, this framework aims to overcome these barriers, enabling faster, more efficient AI solutions that are ethically grounded and universally accessible. By adopting a holistic approach that integrates technical innovation with ethical considerations and stakeholder engagement, we believe that quantum computing can serve as a catalyst for the development of AI technologies that are not only more advanced but also more inclusive, responsible, and beneficial for society as a whole. This concept paper serves as a foundational framework for further research, collaboration, and action in the intersection of quantum computing and AI, with the ultimate goal of harnessing the transformative potential of these technologies to address pressing societal challenges and promote human well-being.

The Knight of the Rueful Countenance. M.A. Bulgakov’s Play Don Quixote. Characters, Actors, and the Contemporaries’ Reviews on the Performances
Authors:   State Institute for Art Studies, Gudkova V.V.
Published: March 2024

M.A. Bulgakov created his play Don Quixote, based on the novel by M. de Cervantes, by order of the Moscow Vakhtangov Theatre within a short period of time between finishing the novel The Master and Margarita and starting Batum, the play about I.V. Stalin. This article is devoted to two performances of M. Bulgakov’s Don Quixote staged at the Leningrad Pushkin Theatre (directed by V.P. Kozhich) and the Moscow Vakhtangov Theatre (directed by I.M. Rapoport). The author of the article compares the director’s concepts and interpretations of the principal parts of Don Quixote and Sancho Panza and analyses the critical reviews of contemporaries (A.K. Dzhivelegov, G.N. Boyadzhiev, N. Ya. Berkovsky, P.A. Markov, Yu. Yuzovsky) on the premieres. Of particular interest are the reviews of the Main Repertoire Committee members who were first to review the play, the discussion of the Moscow Vakhtangov Theatre performance which unfolded on the pages of The Vakhtangovets internal theatre newspaper, and the materials of the Vakhtangov Theatre artistic expert board meetings. The article highlights an appeal to the speeches of Stalin (in relation to his mention of the name of Don Quixote), examines and places in the historical and cultural context of the 1930s some later reviews on the premieres, which took place in the year of the 325th anniversary of Cervantes’ death, and reflections on the interpretations of the characters who were given a new life in M. Bulgakov’s play.
Moscow Conceptualism in a Monologue with the Avant-garde
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Lazareva E.A. ,   State Institute for Art Studies
Published: March 2024

This article is the first to explore the relationship of Moscow conceptual artists with the creative and moral legacy of the Russian avant-garde of the 1910s-1920s. In the 1960s, the previous generation of Soviet non-official artists resonated with the avant-garde legacy upon getting acquainted with it and attempted to continue the tradition seen precisely as a formal experiment. Meanwhile, the Moscow conceptualist circle recognized Russian avantgarde as a conceptual source for the consequent ideologization of the entire reality and as a project of the violent transformation of life. And if social realism was a more obvious opponent for conceptualists, the forbidden art of the avant-garde became its own Other, alien in a very close and uncomfortable sense. The relations articulated in Moscow conceptualism over several decades were different and ambiguous; they developed and evolved as the legacy of the avant-garde became more familiar and as the socio-political and cultural context changed. In the 1970s, the conceptual art practice did not seek a ‘dialogue’ with the avant-garde, and the reflections of the older generation of Moscow conceptualists were marked with intention to dissociate themselves from the avant-garde and its aesthetic systems (the discussion of the political engagement of the avantgarde was pushed forward for later reflections, mainly into the 2010s). The 1980s brought liberalization into the study and exhibiting of the Russian avant-garde, and its admiration became a kind of duty that was taken ironically by the next generation of Moscow conceptual artists. To get international recognition, contemporary Russian art required to establish any affiliation (negative, if not positive) with the brand of the ‘Russian avant-garde’. The artistic practice of Ilya Kabakov has radically escalated the polemics with the avant-garde, which was subsequently projected onto the entire Moscow conceptualism. However, the exploration into the history of Moscow conceptualism as a response to the avant-garde project reveals heterogeneity of such a response, comprising individual halftones and historical dynamics.
Some Characteristics of the Representation of Stalin’s Image in Soviet Feature Films of the 1930s-1940s
Authors:   S.A. Gerasimov All-Russian State University of Cinematography (VGIK), Palshkova M.A.
Published: March 2024

The article analyzes a number of films shot in the 1930s and 1940s, in which the process of gradual sacralization of the image of I.V. Stalin on the Soviet screen can be clearly traced. The main attention is paid to the films which can be included in two different groups. The first group is called “Leniniana” (Lenin films) whose function was to establish Stalin as the only true successor of V.I. Lenin and to legalize the political course for absolute power and the policy of “great terror”. The other group of films is “Staliniana” (Stalin films) which reached its peak in the years after the end of the Great Patriotic War. As part of the analysis of these films, the author also touches upon one of the key myths of Soviet historiography about the defense of Tsaritsyn. Performing in several roles in the 1930s from “earthly”, i.e. political (as the only legitimate successor of Lenin), to symbolic (the all-father of the Soviet people) — in the post-war period the figure of Stalin was literally sacralized, acquiring the features of all three divine hypostases: “god the father”, “god the son” and “the god of the holy spirit” (The Fall of Berlin movie). The process of sacralization manifests itself at all levels: in terms of the plot, figuratively and verbally.
Vasily Gushchinsky — the Last ‘Tramp’ on Stage
Authors:   State Institute for Art Studies, Sarieva E.A. ,   Russian University of Theatre Arts — GITIS
Published: March 2024

The article examines the establishment and development of stage feuilletons in the 1920s-1930s on the example of Vasily Gushchinsky. On the pre-revolutionary stage, couplet singers performing as ‘tramps’ were very popular. After the revolution, Vasily Gushchinsky (1893–1940) continued the traditions of the ‘ragged genre’, trying to adapt it to the challenges of new times. Gushchinsky managed to preserve the language and speech style of ‘tramps’ and appeared in the image of either a militant renegade dissatisfied with innovations and the Soviet order or a plain fellow, an active member of the society under construction. Theatricalism and clown tricks helped to enhance the artistic expressiveness of the performed repertoire, while complex props allowed remaining within the framework of the attraction-feuilleton and the created image, playing on current events. Basically, those were poetic feuilletons in the form of rayok and couplet songs combined into ‘evenings of satire and laughter’. The years of the first five-year plan posed the question of new content even more acutely for Gushchinsky. He began to perform mostly free poetic feuilletons. They continued to expose the true face of an average man, a tradesman, and a former nepman, and at the same time, glorified the pathos of heroic deeds and positive changes in the construction of a new society, which was the first step towards the general trend of creating a positive feuilleton. In the 1930s, the image of an average man lost its acuteness. The variety art was forced to raise the subjects of historical changes and a new person. In search of a new feuilleton form, variety artists started to attract ‘partners’, thus artificially creating a conflict and performing ‘false dialogues’.
From X to Z: Examining Generational Differences in Sustainable Food Consumption in Portugal

Published: March 2024

The main objective of this research was to analyze the attitudes and sustainable purchasing behaviors of food products among Portuguese consumers from different generations. The study sought to identify statistically significant differences regarding ecological awareness, understanding of ecological issues, adoption of ecologically conscious purchasing habits and conscious planning of these purchases. Consequently, the research aimed to reveal sustainable attitudes and behaviors during the food purchasing process considering the generational factor. In order to achieve these objectives, a quantitative and cross-sectional study was developed based on a questionnaire adapted from Kuźniar, Surmacz and Wierzbiński (2021). Between September 2022 and the first half of January 2023, the questionnaire was applied to a non-probabilistic sample of 686 Portuguese consumers. Statistical tools such as the Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests were used to discern statistically significant differences between two and three independent groups, respectively. The results confirm that generation is a differentiating factor of sustainable attitudes and behaviors. Obviously, the discernible existence of statistically significant differences between Generations Z, Y and X with regard to ecological awareness, ecologically oriented purchasing patterns, and the manifestation of sustainable attitudes and behaviors during food purchases serves as a robust validation of this assertion. Furthermore, it was observed that Generations X and Y exhibited congruent attitudes and behaviors, demarcating them from Generation Z.

Ce chapitre présente le dioxyde d'uranium (UO2) et le carbure de bore (B4C) qui sont deux matériaux céramiques présents dans le cœur des réacteurs à eau sous pression actuels. Servant respectivement de combustible et d'absorbant neutronique, ces matériaux sont soumis à des conditions extrêmes de température et d'irradiation. Leur élaboration et les lois qui régissent l'évolution de leurs propriétés sont détaillées en se focalisant sur l'impact de l'irradiation.

Abstract. Using state-of-the-art satellite ozone profile products, and a chemical transport model, we provide an updated estimate of the tropospheric ozone radiative effect (TO3RE) and observational constraint on its variability over the decade 2008–2017. Previous studies have shown the short-term (i.e. a few years) globally weighted average TO3RE to be 1.17 ± 0.03 W m−2. However, from our analysis, using decadal (2008–2017) ozone profile datasets from the Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer, average TO3RE ranges between 1.21 and 1.26 W m−2. Over this decade, the modelled and observational TO3RE linear trends show a negligible change (e.g.  ± 0.1 % yr−1). Two model sensitivity experiments fixing emissions and meteorology to 1 year (i.e. start year – 2008) show that temporal changes in ozone precursor emissions (increasing contribution) and meteorological factors (decreasing contribution) have counteracting tendencies, leading to a negligible globally weighted average TO3RE trend.

Abstract. We present the first study using decadal re-forecasts to simulate global glacier climatic mass balance, bridging the gap between seasonal and long-term simulation of glacier contribution to catchment hydrology and sea level rise. Using the Open Global Glacier Model, driven by Coupled Model Intercomparison Project 6 ensembles of initialised decadal climate re-forecasts of temperature and precipitation, we demonstrate the skill of glacier mass balance re-forecasts on the decadal timescale, for respectively 279 reference glaciers and all land-terminating glaciers globally. For comparison, the glacier model is also forced with a simple persistence forecast and general circulation model historical time series and projections, representing the current state of the art. The results from forcing with decadal re-forecasts provide improvement over the other two methods. Simulating single years, especially at short lead times, decadal re-forecasts show the highest Pearson correlations and lowest mean absolute errors, compared to observed mass balance. Simulating cumulative mass balance over full decades for the 279 reference glaciers, forcing with decadal re-forecasts yields a decrease in mean absolute error of 18 % and 16 % compared to forcing with persistence forecasts and historical global circulation model simulations, respectively. Globally, comparing average mass balance over the time period 2000–2020, forcing with decadal re-forecasts results in the highest number of regions with ’good fit’ to observations (difference from observed regional mass balance =< 0.1 m w.e.), compared to the persistence and historical climate model forcing. These findings indicate that the use of decadal predictions for glacier modelling is operationally feasible and holds significant potential for future hydrological applications.

Abstract. The mid-Pliocene is the most recent geological period with similar atmospheric CO2 concentration to the present-day, and similar surface temperatures as projected at the end of this century for a moderate warming scenario. While not a perfect analogue, the mid-Pliocene can be used to study the functioning of the Earth system under similar forcings as a near future, especially regarding features in the climate system for which uncertainties exist in future projections. According to the mid-Pliocene modelling ensemble PlioMIP2, the variability of El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) was suppressed. In this study, we investigate how teleconnections of ENSO, specifically variability in the North Pacific atmosphere, responds to a suppressed ENSO, according to the PlioMIP2. The multi-model mean shows a similar sea-level pressure (SLP) variability in the Aleutian Low (AL) in the mid-Pliocene and pre-industrial, but a per-model view reveals that the change in AL variability is related to the change in ENSO variability. Even though ENSO is suppressed, the teleconnection between ENSO sea-surface temperature anomalies, tropical precipitation and North Pacific SLP anomalies is quite robust in the mid-Pliocene. We split AL variability in a part that is ENSO-related, and a residual variability which is related to internal stochastic variability, and find that the change in ENSO-related AL variability is strongly related to the change in ENSO variability itself, while the change in residual AL variability is unrelated to ENSO change. Since the internal atmospheric variability, which is the dominant forcing of the AL variability, is largely unchanged, we are able to understand that the AL variability is largely similar even though ENSO variability is suppressed. We find that the specific change in ENSO and AL variability depends on both the model equilibrium climate sensitivity ánd Earth system sensitivity. Finally, we present a perspective of (extra-)tropical Pacific variability in the PlioMIP2, combining our results with literature findings on changes in the tropical mean climate as well as the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO).
Effects of high-quality elevation data and explanatory variables on the accuracy of flood inundation mapping via Height Above Nearest Drainage

Abstract. Given the availability of high-quality and high-spatial-resolution digital elevation maps (DEMs) from the United States Geological Survey's 3D Elevation Program (3DEP), derived mostly from light detection and ranging (lidar) sensors, we examined the effects of these DEMs at various spatial resolutions on the quality of flood inundation map (FIM) extents derived from a terrain index known as Height Above Nearest Drainage (HAND). We found that using these DEMs improved the quality of resulting FIM extents at around 80 % of the catchments analyzed when compared to using DEMs from the National Hydrography Dataset Plus High Resolution (NHDPlusHR) program. Additionally, we varied the spatial resolution of the 3DEP DEMs at 3, 5, 10, 15, and 20 m (meters), and the results showed no significant overall effect on FIM extent quality across resolutions. However, further analysis at coarser resolutions of 60 and 90 m revealed a significant degradation in FIM skill, highlighting the limitations of using extremely coarse-resolution DEMs. Our experiments demonstrated a significant burden in terms of the computational time required to produce HAND and related data at finer resolutions. We fit a multiple linear regression model to help explain catchment-scale variations in the four metrics employed and found that the lack of reservoir flooding or inundation upstream of river retention systems was a significant factor in our analysis. For validation, we used Interagency Flood Risk Management (InFRM) Base Level Engineering (BLE)-produced FIM extents and streamflows at the 100- and 500-year event magnitudes in a sub-region in eastern Texas.
Technical note: A model of chemical transport in a wellbore–aquifer system

Abstract. Wellbore is proven to be the only effective way of delivering chemicals to a target aquifer during a tracer test or aquifer remediation. The volume of original water in the operational well is a critical parameter affecting the concentration of injected tracers or chemicals in the wellbore in the early stages. We found that the calculation of the wellbore water volume by previous numerical methods was correct when the wellbore penetrates an unconfined aquifer but incorrect when the wellbore penetrates a confined aquifer, further resulting in errors in describing the solute transport of injected chemicals in confined aquifers, such as MODFLOW/MT3DMS or FEFFLOW. Such errors caused by MODFLOW/MT3DMS and FEFFLOW increased with increasing wellbore water volume. This was because the groundwater in both the wellbore and aquifer was assumed to be confined where the water level was higher than the aquifer's top elevation and the groundwater thickness was assumed to be equal to the aquifer thickness. Actually, when the wellbore penetrated a confined aquifer, the groundwater was only confined in the aquifer, while it was unconfined in the wellbore. In this study, the solute transport model is revised based on the mass balance in a well–aquifer system, with special attention given to the wellbore water volume. The accuracy of the new model was tested against benchmark analytical solutions. The revised model could increase the accuracy of reactive transport modeling in aquifer remediation through the wellbore.
