This study explored the application of whole and defatted Moringa oleifera seed-derived coagulants in powder (P-MOS DP-MOS), aqueous extraction (AEP-MOS AEDP-MOS), saline (SEP-MOS SEDP-MOS) treatment a synthetic turbid water by coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation jar test apparatus. The performance M. was quantified compared with alum terms ability to neutralize restabilize suspension char...

2) sows receiving 1 g/kg of MOS during lactation, and dietary treatment: 1) basal diet (control), and 2) basal diet with MOS at 2 g/kg in prestarter and 1 g/kg in starter diets. The experimental design was applied in both the prestarter (28 to 44 d of age) and the starter (44 to 60 d of age) periods. Nutritive value of the diets was 2.5 Mcal NE/kg and 14.8 g/kg lysine for prestarter, and 2.5 Mc...

The Mo(13) clusters we previously reported were derived from MoS(2) flakes prepared from bulk MoS(2), although the nature of the precursor species was not fully understood. The existence of the clusters in the condensed phase was a question. Here we report the preparation of MoS(2) nanoflakes from elemental precursors using the sonochemical method and study the gas-phase clusters derived from t...

The wide application and production of nanotechnology have increased the interest in studying the toxicity of nano- and micro-sized particles escaping into air from various aspects of the production process. Metal oxides (MOs) are one particular class of particles that exist abundantly in ambient PM. Studies show an emphasis on biological mechanisms by which inhalation exposure to MOs leads to ...

Establishing a European wide high quality shipping links and integrating them with the transEuropean Transport networks has been the vision of the European Commission (EC) to reduce land transport congestion under the Motorways of the Sea (MoS) concept. However, in spite of strong political backing and favourable policy initiatives, MoS projects have met with limited success. Establishing Motor...

OWL is recognized as the de facto standard notation for ontology engineering. The Manchester OWL Syntax (MOS) was developed as an alternative to symbolic description logic (DL) and it is believed to be more effective for users. This paper sets out to test that belief from two perspectives by evaluating how accurately and quickly people understand the informational content of axioms and derive i...

In this paper, a comparative performance analysis of mostly used four nonlinearity cancellation techniques used to realize the passive resistor by MOS transistors, is presented. The comparison is done by using an integrator circuit which is employing sequentially Op-amp, OTRA and ICCII as active element. All of the circuits are implemented by MOS-C realization and simulated by PSPICE program us...

Multidimensional scaling (MDS) has been suggested as a useful tool for the evaluation of the quality of synthesized speech. However, it has not yet been extensively tested for its application in this specific area of evaluation. In a series of experiments based on data from the Blizzard Challenge 2008 the relations between Weighted Euclidean Distance Scaling and Simple Euclidean Distance Scalin...

Introduction: Sample-and-hold (S/H) is an important analog building block with many applications, including analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) and switched-capacitor filters. The function of the S/H circuit is to sample an analog input signal and hold this value over a certain length of time for subsequent processing. Taking advantages of the excellent properties of MOS capacitors and switches...

After analyzing the limitations of the traditional description of CMOS circuits at the gate level, this paper introduces the notions of switching and signal variables for describing the switching states of MOS transistors and signals in CMOS circuits, respectively. Two connection operations for describing the interaction between MOS transistors and signals and a new description for MOS circuits...
