Abstract Iron permeable reactive barriers (PRBs) have been installed at sites contaminated with various reducible organic and inorganic chemicals, particu...

The dynamic behavior of ozonation with pollutants in a countercurrent bubble column is studied for the model establishment. Bubble columns have been widely used for an ozonation system in the plants and laboratories. In addition, a countercurrent bubble column has been commonly recommended than a cocurrent one because it has a higher ozone transfer efficiency. Therefore, the investigation of th...

We identify 225 filaments from an H2 column density map constructed using simultaneous 12CO, 13CO and C18O (J = 1–0) observations carried out as a part of the Milky Way Imaging Scroll Painting (MWISP) project.We select 46 long with lengths above 1.2 pc to analyze filament profiles. divide selected into 397 segments calculate profiles for each segment. The symmetries are investigated. proportion...

Generation of context profile library N = 1 million training profiles of length l = 2d+1 were generated as described in the main text and Figure 2. Each training profile is represented by a count profile cn(j, x), which specifies the counts of amino acid x ∈ {1, . . . , 20} at position j ∈ {−d, . . . , d}. These counts are obtained by multiplying the sequence profile tn(j, x) by the effective n...

The Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) spacecraft observed the X-ray pulsar GX 1+4 for a period of 34 hours on July 19/2

Abstract. Optimal estimation retrievals of trace gas total columns require prior vertical profiles the gases retrieved to drive forward model and ensure retrieval problem is mathematically well posed. For well-mixed gases, it possible derive accurate using an algorithm that accounts for general patterns atmospheric transport coupled with measured time series in questions. Here we describe used ...

The accuracy of multibeam echosounder bathymetric measurement depends on the data sound speed layers within water column. This is necessary for correct modeling ray bending. It assumed that are horizontal and static, according to profile traditionally used in depth calculation. In fact, boundaries between varying masses can be curved oscillate. difficult assess parameters these movements based ...

Of all satellite measurements of ozone, only two instruments have coincident, spatially overlapping measurements to allow direct comparison of tropospheric column ozone (TCO): the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) and the Tropospheric Emission Spectrometer (TES) on the NASA Aura spacecraft. For two years (2005–2006), we collect all observations between 60 S and 60 N from nadir (∼65 000 from OMI...
