Purification of proteins in the pharmaceutical industry is often performed with batch chromatography. For increase of productivity and yield there is a need for continuous chromatography. The purpose of this master thesis was to develop a general simulation toolbox for continuous chromatography that could simulate a defined configuration of moving beds. Recently a process for separation of tern...

In this study, SEDDEER (Sediment Deposition and Erosion), a stand-alone sediment and contaminant model which simulates one water box and the underlying multiple sediment bed layers, was incorporated into Water Quality Analysis Simulation Program (WASP7.4). WASP7.4 toxic module (TOXI7) was modified to include SEDDEER to develop WASP_SEDDEER model. Tests were designed to ensure that the coupling ...

Large wood is inherently mobile in naturally functioning river corridors, yet management commonly introduces that anchored to limit hazards. Wood periodically mobilized important for: replacing stationary large performs diverse physical and ecological functions; contributing the disturbance regime of corridor; diversifying decay states; dispersing organisms propagules; providing refugia during ...

The traditional dogma of putting mobile patients with acute deep vein thrombosis into bed for several days has been challenged by some studies that showed a better clinical outcome with walking exercises under good compression. Repeated lung scans did not show an increased risk of new pulmonary embolism. There was a faster and more intense reduction of pain and swelling and a clear quality-of-l...

The MANET networks are of prime interest for military networks. One of the proeminent routing protocols for MANET is OLSR, and indeed, OLSR has been used in many evaluations and experiments of MANETs. As OLSR is on its way to standardization, there are still a number of extensions that are useful and sometimes necessary for practical use of OLSR networks: such extensions are quality of service ...

This paper describes the design, implementation and use of a wireless data network test-bed to support a facilitator-led experiment measuring the quality of service (QoS) of selected mobile applications. The test-bed comprised a wireless LAN, wireless-capable Personal Digital Assistants acting as “3G-like” terminals, with a network performance emulator at the IP-layer providing controlled, repr...

The Ad hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing protocol is designed for use in mobile ad-hoc networks. As of the writing of this article, there exist several implementations of the AODV protocol for a range of operating systems (e.g., Unix/Linux, Windows), different devices (e.g. Notebook computers, PDAs) each developed using different techniques and programming languages. This paper descr...
