Background: Application of potassium ferrate is a chemical oxidation approach used for water and wastewater treatment. The aim of this study is to apply central composite design (CCD) and response surface methodology (RSM) to optimize potassium ferrate consumption in the treatment of wastewater from carpet industries. Methods: Samples in this experimental study were collected from wastewater...

in this research prediction methods of artificial neural network and chaos theory are employed to predict daily, weekly and monthly runoff. for this, runoff series data observed at pole-kohneh located in the qareh-soo river. the nonlinear predictions of chaos are found to be in close agreement with the observed runoff, with high correlation coefficient for daily and weekly time scales. predicte...

This article presents the results of a study algorithms, methods and approaches to depersonalization enrichment data, including personal data. Among types data enrichment, demographic, geographic behavioral enrichments were considered, as well statistical, semantic pragmatic algorithms studied. In addition categories ontology namely expressive ontologies, lightweight ontologies such taxonomies,...

one of the most important impact of climate change is reduction of precipitation in some areas including iran. hence, climate change studies are essential in these areas. besides, according to ipcc, some meteorological stations of iran, such as tabriz (capital of east azerbaijan province) have showed a downward trend in precipitation. therefore, east azerbaijan province was selected as the stud...

THE Bureau of Economic Analysis has adopted a new method for the interpolation of quarterly and monthly estimates in the national accounts. The new method uses a variant of the Denton procedure. National statistical agencies routinely face the task of compiling a large number of quarterly and monthly estimates using relatively complete annual data and less complete quarterly and monthly informa...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Environmental factors including weather variables may play a significant role in the transmission of dengue. This study investigated the effect of seasonal variation on the abundance of Aedes aegypti and Ae. albopictus larvae and explored the impact of weather variability on dengue transmission in Sisaket, Thailand. METHODS The monthly mosquito larval surveys were carr...

Seasonal rainfall in many regions is influenced by global climatic parameters such as El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO), La Nina. Seasonal rainfall predictions are based on such Global climatic parameters. However, for operational purposes, such as reservoir operation or river basin management in a larger context, rainfall data at a finer time interval are required. In this paper, a temporal ...
