Constructed Wetland Treatment of Nitrates: Removal Effectiveness and Cost Efficiency

A constructed wetland (CW) was strategically placed to treat nitrates in groundwater as part of a watershed-based farmer engagement process. Using stream water quality data collected before and after installation, this CW was found to reduce stream concentrations of nitrogen from nitrate (NO3-N) during the growing season by about 0.14 mg/l at mean streamflow, a 17% reduction. Based upon realist...

Electrolytic Aggregation Treatment without Coagulant Dosage for Retentate

Removal of fine powders from film surface. II. Effect of operating parameters on the removal efficiency.

In the previous paper, a novel fine particle removal system composed of a corona-discharge neutralizer, a pulse-jet air unit and an image processing system has been developed and applied to the removal of fine particles from film surface. We have calculated the van der Waals and electrostatic forces between particle and film and then reported that the electrostatic force influenced the adhesion...

The Role of Information Technology in Operating Cost and Operational Efficiency of Banks: An Application of Frontier Efficiency Analysis

This study explores how information technology, operating cost, and operational efficiency are related to each other in banking. It is well known that the adoption of information technology can reduce organizational operating cost and improve operational efficiency. However, the intuitive impacts should be evaluated in greater detail. This paper proposes a framework for measuring the performanc...
