We present Visual Sedimentation (VS), a new design metaphor for visualizing streaming data inspired by the geological process of sedimentation. Our work started by early experiments visualizing political Twitter streams during the French 2012 presidential elections, and social interactions during a TV show. In both cases, the positive feedback we received expressed an unexpectedly high level of...

Sedimentary rocks are one component of the modern threefold classification of rocks. They derive from the lithification of sediments, which are produced in basically two ways: by the mechanical deposition of grains derived from the alteration of other rocks (detrital or clastic rocks), or as chemical precipitates or grains formed organically or inorganically from an aqueous solution. The whole ...

We investigate the combined effects of gravity, attractive interactions, and brownian motion in suspensions of colloidal particles and nonadsorbing polymer. Depending on the effective strength of gravitational forces, resulting from a density mismatch between the colloids and the solvent, and the magnitude and range of the depletion interactions induced by the polymer, sedimentation in these su...

A bead-based sedimentation biodetector is studied theoretically. The biodetector operates with a suspension of settling beads, non-settling reporters, and target analytes – all initially suspended in a buffer solution. The reporters can be either fluorescent molecules or small particles. The functionalized beads interact with the reporters and target analytes while settling under the action of ...

Suspensions of clays in organic liquids change considerably in theological character from liquid to liquid or when additions of a second liquid are made; thus, for example when about 15 per cent. volume of ethyl alcohol was added to a dispersion of a sample of bentonite in water the specific viscosity and thixotropy (as measured 9 by rate of the sol-->gel transition) increased to a maximum in s...

Ensuring the proper quality of environment is a foreground and important task for achieving sustainable development goals in contemporary urban societies. Therefore, aim research to study air pollution on territories neighboring multi-level interchanges assess additional load lower levels based analysis physico-chemical properties harmful substances, which are exhausts components. The scientifi...

This study summarizes five separate sedimentation studies spanning 15 years (years 3–17 following wetland creation in 1994) of two 1ha experimental flow-through wetlands. Included are methods and analyses of the most recent (2009–2010) comparative study that attempted to quantify both erosion and bioturbation processes. Depending on techniques used, two distinct types of sedimentation rates wer...

Distribution and elimination of petroleum products can be predicted in aerobic wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) using models such as multimedia fate model SimpleTreat. An advantage the SimpleTreat is that it only requires a few basic properties chemical to calculate partitioning, biodegradation ultimately emissions air, surface water produced sludge. The structure reflects WWTP scheme. Howev...

Deposition of sediment inside the conduit structures reduces the flow cross section area and increases the flow roughness which causes reduction of flow discharge passing through the conduit. Among the methods which can prevent sediment deposition is non sedimentation condition in the structure, Since the critical section of the inverted siphon in sedimentation is the outlet. In the begining of...
