The quality of data in wireless sensor networks has a significant impact on decision support, and data cleaning is an effective way to improve data quality. However, if the data cleaning strategies are not correctly designed, it might result in an unsatisfactory cleaning effect with increased system cleaning costs. Initially, data quality evaluation indicators and their measurement methods in w...

Cleaning of organic-fouled reverse osmosis membranes with concentrated salt solutions has been investigated. Polysaccharides (alginate and pectin) and Suwannee River natural organic matter were used as model organic foulants. By systematically varying the chemical and physical factors affecting salt cleaning efficiency, we were able to elucidate the processes and mechanisms involved during salt...

The Tagouchi method was used for providing the instruction of ultra-filter dairy membrane cleaning. The goal function with using of four undimentionalized parameter, i.e., water and milk serum flux, percent of protein and dry mass of permeate, as quality indicator of cleaning of cleaned membrane, was defined. As a result, basic cleaning solution was found as follows: 0.8% NaOH, 1.0% EDTA, 1.0% ...

Increasing the use of hygienic high-touch surfaces with antimicrobial properties in health care and public spaces is one way to hinder spread bacteria infections. This study investigates efficacy surface reactivity commercial laminate powder coated treated silver-doped phosphate glass as additive towards two model bacterial strains, Escherichia coli Bacillus subtilis, relation weathering repeat...

Background: Epidemiological studies have shown an association between cleaning work and asthma, but the risk factors are uncertain. The aim of this study was to assess the risk of asthma in women employed in domestic cleaning. Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted in 4521 women aged 30 to 65 years. Information on respiratory symptoms and cleaning work history was obtained using a posta...

OBJECTIVE This study was intended to optimize perlite particle size and morphology for better tooth cleaning and lower tooth abrasion, and to evaluate the performance of a whitening toothpaste containing the optimized perlite abrasive for tooth cleaning, abrasion, and polishing. METHODS Perlite toothpaste abrasive samples were prepared by air classifying a commercial expanded perlite product....

Laser removal of particles from solid surfaces was investigated both theoretically and experimentally. A cleaning model was established for laser-induced removal of particles from solid surfaces by taking Van der Waals force, capillary force and cleaning force into account. Laser cleaning forces are induced by fast thermal expansion of particles and/or solid surfaces irradiated by laser for dry...
