a general overview on the prospective of various oxidation and combined processes in the treatment of tannery industry effluent are reported. various oxidation and combined processes such as uv/h2o2/hypochlorites, fenton and electro-oxidation, photo-chemical, photo-catalytic, electro-catalytic oxidation, wet air oxidation, ozonation, biological followed by ozone/uv/ h2o2, coagulation or ele...

■ Abstract The sociological, economic, political, and anthropological literatures are devoting increasing attention to globalization. This chapter discusses the various connotations of the term and puts it in historical perspective. Existing theoretical and empirical research on globalization is organized around five key issues or questions: Is it really happening? Does it produce convergence? ...

We present non-clausal resolution systems for propositional modal logics whose Kripke models do not involve symmetry, and for first order versions whose Kripke models do not involve constant domains. We give systems for K, T , K4 and S4; other logics are also possible. Our systems do not require preliminary reduction to a normal form and, in the first order case, intermingle resolution steps wi...

Photo-labile molecules have been widely used not only in organic synthesis but also in biological study. The chemistry of the typical photo-labile organic molecules, including their structure, mechanism underlying their photo-lability and strategies to integrate them with biomolecules, is reviewed to illustrate the structural basis for photo-activable caged compounds. Biological applications of...

In this paper a new approach for matching aspect ratio of a digital photo for borderless printing by complementing it with fragments extracted from the same photo is proposed. This approach comprises analysis of side strips of the source photo in order to estimate the possibility to complement it without visible artifacts; complementing one or both opposite sides of the photo, matching the desi...

Photo-induced force microscopy (PiFM) is a new-frontier technique that combines the advantages of atomic with infrared spectroscopy and allows for simultaneous acquisition 3D topographic data molecular chemical information at high spatial (~ 5 nm) spectral 1 cm?1) resolution nanoscale. This non-destructive time efficient as it requires only conventional mirror-polishing has fast mapping rates o...
