In recent years, sewage sludge (SS) and bio-waste management have attracted increasing environmental attention. this study, hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) technology is investigated in the framework of a co-treatment digestate (SSD) an organic fraction municipal solid waste (OW). The proposed configuration integrates HTC with anaerobic digestion (AD) inter-stage (AD1 + AD2). effects different...

This paper considers the identical jobs, single end-item cyclic scheduling problem (CSP) of determining good schedules for repetitive production systems with a exible manufacturing capability. The goal is to optimize system throughput and work in process inventory by determining the eecient trade-oo frontier between cycle length and ow times. We present a new, tighter integer programming formul...

Reduction of Mach wave emission from a dual-stream jet is modeled via a linear temporal analysis in the frame of reference of the jet instability. The interface between the primary and secondary streams is simulated by a exible wavy wall with zero phase speed and arbitrary growth rate. The interface between the secondary and ambient streams is simulated by a vortex sheet. The secondary stream, ...

The main drawback in the utilization of geothermal resources arises from precipitation secondary minerals within wells, pipelines, steam separators, turbines and other surface equipment form scales. Scale formation is an outcome alteration various rocks dissolved fluids that find their way into a reservoir. Once ascend to surface, hydrostatic pressure decreases toward phase separation level per...

This Application Note details a reliable and reproducible method for performing the recommended quality control (QC) steps of total RNA starting materials and corresponding cDNA libraries synthesized for RNA Sequencing (RNA-Seq) applications using the Agilent 2200 TapeStation system. Starting total RNA and fi nal cDNA libraries generated with the Agilent Strand Specifi c RNA library preparation...

An approach to hierarchical scheduling for assembly in a fully automated exible manufacturing system is presented. The three-level production system consists of a master production plan, which incorporates new customer requests and makes long-term production guarantees; a production ow level, which plans and monitors the ow of subassemblies among workstations; and a scheduler level, which seque...

| Precoding at the transmitter side is a practicable method for transmission over intersymbol interference channels. In contrast to decision{feedback equalization no error propagation occurs and coded modulation can be applied as for the intersymbol interference free channel. In this paper, Tomlinson{Harashima precoding and exible preco-ding are analyzed and compared. The dualities and diie-ren...

Reliable estimates of river stream fl ow and fl ood zoning maps are needed for water resourcesmanagement such as fl ood mitigation, water supply, dam construction and irrigation. Flood zoning needsaccurate data and is one of the non-structural fl ood management methods. This paper describes theapplication of HEC-RAS and GIS model to determine fl oodplains maps for the part of Sardabrud Rivertha...

We consider the fast solution of large, piecewise smooth minimization problems as typically arising from the nite element discretization of porous media ow. For lack of smoothness, usual Newton multigrid methods cannot be applied. We propose a new approach based on a combination of convex minization with constrained Newton linearization. No regularization is involved. We show global convergence...
