A single-fibre microfiltration system was employed to investigate the importance of various operating and sludge property parameters to the membrane fouling during sludge filtration. The sludge was obtained from a submerged membrane bioreactor (SMBR). A series of comparative and correlative filtration and fouling tests were conducted on the influence of the operating variables, sludge propertie...

In this paper we present a new fast tableau-based decision procedure for the ground set-theoretic fragment Multi-Level Syllogistic with Singleton (in short MLSS) which avoids the interleaving of model checking steps. The underlying tableau calculus is based upon the system KE.

This study compares the performance of Hollow Fiber (HF) and Flat Sheet (FS) types membrane bioreactors (MBRs) for treatment food beverage (F&B) industry wastewater in a pilot-scale plant (WWTP). HF FS configurations were evaluated at two different Mixed Liquor Suspended Solid (MLSS) levels: 6000 mg/L 12,000 mg/L. The each configuration was terms Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) Total (TSS) rem...

Background and purpose: The performance of full-scale moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) was evaluated as an alternative for upgrading of Kish Island Mirmohana wastewater treatment plant. In this study activated sludge process upgrade to MBBR process and different operating parameters were compared. Materials and Methods: Effect of upgrading on different parameters such as organic loading rate (...

A new hybrid membrane-aerated biofilm reactor (MABR) technology that enables energy-neutral treatment of municipal wastewater is introduced. The process, which removes nitrogen using conventional nitrificationdenitrification, was demonstrated at pilot-scale, treating primary effluent. The new MABR membrane product can operate in a high mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS) environment, making it...

AIM The aim of this study was to describe and evaluate physiological parameters as a control tool for the monitoring of training in a group of elite cyclists during one season of training. METHODS The study is divided into two periods (winter or ''volume'' mesocycle and spring or ''intensity'' mesocycle) between the tests that they carried out in the laboratory, consisting of a ramp test to e...

In this research, a sol-modified composite electrodeposition technique that combines the sol-gel method with the conventional electrodeposition process was utilized to deposit Ni-TiO2 nanocomposite coatings. Cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry techniques were applied to study the influence of the TiO2 sol concentration on the deposits’ electrochemical behavior. The results clearly showed t...

Experiment 1 investigated developmental differences at high stimulus rates by using maximum length sequences (MLSs) and cross-correlation techniques to recover auditory evoked brainstem responses (ABRs). Reliable MLS ABRs were recorded in all of the newborns tested at the highest rate presented (minimum interpulse interval = 1.1 msec). Interpreting developmental rate effects from latency and am...
