biofiltration of triethylamine (tea) vapor used as a catalyst in casting operations was evaluated in this study. the unit consisted of a 6-l three-stage biofilter containing a mixture of compost and wood chips (40:60 v/v) as the filter medium. seed microbial population from municipal activated sludge was acclimated for a period of three weeks prior to the actual experimental runs. in the startu...

Developing countries have embarked on the promotion of “ICT access for all” through subsidized Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), especially in underserviced areas of such countries. The main aim of the “ICT access for all” is to extend the communication services to the large areas of underserviced regions through subsidized communication services. In some instances, subsidies m...

If uniform coding (Gödelization) of potentially infinite sequences of numbers can be performed in PSPACEF, then PSPACE = EXPTIME 6= EXPSPACE = 2-EXPTIME, and, for all p, we have p−EXPSPACE = p+1-EXPTIME; if it can be performed in LINSPACEF, we also have LINSPACE = DTIME(2); the proof fails, when relativized to oracle-TM’s. A by-product of this research is that PTIMEF is not closed under number-...

Nitrogen (N) in plants is generally diagnosed by a soil test and plant tissue analysis.However, such analyses are costly in terms of time and money and are not easily accessible byresearchers and extension workers, let alone farmers. Alternative cost-effective methods arerequired for rapid analysis of the N status of crops and to guide N management in wheat. Theobjective of this study was to as...
