The environmental issues associated with residual colour in textile efnuents have posed a major challenge to environmental scientists as well as the textile colouration processors. The requirements to remove colour from textile efnuent on si te prior to discharge to sewer have been progressively tightened due to increased public complaints about coloured watercourses. Dyes are highly dispersibl...

Predictive models of Li-ion battery lifetime must consider a multiplicity of electrochemical, thermal, and mechanical degradation modes experienced by batteries in application environments. To complicate matters, Li-ion batteries can experience different degradation trajectories that depend on storage and cycling history of the application environment. Rates of degradation are controlled by fac...

Experiments were conducted to evaluate the influence of sediment concentration, slope and discharge on sediment deposition rates and patterns associated with a reduction in bed slope. Analysis of the data shows that up to a certain unit discharge a simple settling equation without a transport term gives a good prediction of the sediment delivery ratio and the grain-size distribution of the depo...

The Amur River is one of the largest rivers of the world. Its length is 4350 km and its total discharge is about 390 km from a river basin of 1,855,000 km. The regime of the Amur River is distinguished by the spring–summer flood, summer low water, summer– fall flood, and winter low water. The spring flood is caused by melting snow and the summer–fall flood is caused by monsoon rains in the rive...

Although there can be few conditions which are Wore common, there are few which are less responsive to ordinary treatment than a chronic vaginal discharge. Most of the women who attend my Outpatient Department complain of some discharge to a greater or less degree, and I find that very many of them consider some amount of muco-purulent discharge to be normal. In patients of a better class the c...

ion studies to ensure data completeness and consistency resulting in increasing accuracy over time.(103,104) CIHI Discharge Abstract Database The CIHI Discharge Abstract Database (CIHI-DAD) contains information about every hospital stay at most acute care hospitals in Canada. It includes data on patient demographics

Various forms of psychotic disorders, including schizophrenia, can influence how we speak. Therefore, clinicians assess speech and language behaviors of their patients. While it is difficult for humans to quantify speech behaviors precisely, acoustic descriptors, such as tenseness of voice and speech rate, can be quantified automatically. In this work, we identify previously unstudied acoustic ...
