Characteristics of rural domestic wastewater with source separation

Greywater, a New Alternative Approach for Domestic Wastewater Separation and Reuse in Iran

Geometric source separation: merging convolutive source separation with geometric beamforming

Blind source separation of broad band signals in a multi-path environment remains a di cult problem. Robustness has been limited due to frequency permutation ambiguities. Increasing the number of sensors allows improved performance but introduces degrees of freedom in the separating lters that are not determined by separation criteria. We propose to further shape the lters and improve the robus...

Impact of Rural Domestic Wastewater Irrigation on the Physicochemical and Microbiological Properties of Pakchoi and Soil

Great attention has been paid to the potential of wastewater irrigation as a sustainable water source, particularly due to water scarcity and water pollution issues. However, few studies have focused on its adverse effects and on the health risks it may pose. In this study, the physicochemical properties of soils and plants irrigated with rural domestic wastewater and associated microbiological...

Biodegradation of di-n-Butyl Phthalate by Achromobacter sp. Isolated from Rural Domestic Wastewater

A bacterial strain W-1, isolated from rural domestic wastewater, can utilize the environmental hormone di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP) as the sole carbon and energy source. The isolated bacterium species was confirmed to belong to the genus Achromobacter based on its 16S rRNA gene sequence. The results of substrate utilization tests showed that the strain W-1 could utilize other common phthalates an...

Underdetermined Source Separation with Structured Source Priors

We consider the source extraction problem for stereo instantaneous musical mixtures with more than two sources. We prove that usual separation methods based only on spatial diversity have performance limitations when the sources overlap in the time-frequency plane. We propose a new separation scheme combining spatial diversity and structured source priors. We present possible priors based on no...
