Dilution as a Solution: Targeting Microbial Populations with a Simplified Dilution Strategy

Dilution as a model of forgetting

Dilution as a model of forgetting 2 Abstract We develop a model of long term forgetting based upon three ideas: i) Memory for a stimulus can be described by a population of accessible traces; ii) The probability of retrieval after a delay is predicted by the proportion of traces in this population that will be defined as correct if sampled; and iii) This population is diluted over time by null ...

Dilution

Load theory of attention proposes that distractor processing is reduced in tasks with high perceptual load that exhaust attentional capacity within task-relevant processing. In contrast, tasks of low perceptual load leave spare capacity that spills over, resulting in the perception of task-irrelevant, potentially distracting stimuli. Tsal and Benoni (2010) find that distractor response competit...

Towards a Solution for Dilution: Likelihood Instead of Actual Harm

Oxygenates Natural Attenuation : Is Dilution the Solution ?

The term “Natural Attenuation” (NA) has been defined as “naturally occurring processes in soil and groundwater environments that act without human intervention to reduce the mass, toxicity, mobility, volume, or concentration of contaminants in those media” (Wiedemeier et al., 1999). This popular definition goes on to mention that the “in-situ” processes of NA include biodegradation, dispersion,...

A Simplified Solution for Advection Dominated Accretion Flows with Outflow

The existence of outflow in the advection dominated accretion flows has been confirmed by both numerical simulations and observations. The outow models for ADAF have been investigated by several groups with a simple self similar solution. But this solution is inaccurate at the inner regions and can not explain the emitted spectrum of the flow; so, it is necessary to obtain a global solution for...
