With the current focus on water reuse projects and the role they play in the water cycle, the search for cost competitive advanced wastewater treatment technologies has never before been so important. Australia in particular has a need to develop new strategies for water management and will continue to move towards water reuse where such projects are shown to be financially viable. This paper d...

The growing scarcity of fresh water is driving the implementation of wastewater treatment and water reuse on an increasingly large scale. Various methods have been developed and used for water reuse from wastewater; however, the membrane distillation (MD) process, as a promising separation technology, has recently gained more attention. The MD process is a non-isothermal membrane-based separati...

drought stress is the most important factor that reduces yield in crops including chickpea and causes some changes in seed composition. this study was performed in order to evaluate the effects of drought stress and starter nitrogen fertilizer on four cultivars of chickpea. experiment was performed in a split-factorial using randomized complete block design with three replications. drought stre...

Abstract Artificial intelligence (AI) is gaining acceptance for modern control systems in various applications daily life including the Chemical process industry. Above all, application of AI increasing field membrane-based treatment where it shows great potential until now. Membrane separations are generally recognized as energy-efficient processes. In particular, membrane desalination, forwar...

purpose: the aim of this study was to compare higher-order aberrations between personalized treatment (pt) versus personalized treatment advanced (pta) photorefractive keratectomy (prk) for myopia and myopic astigmatism. methods: in this clinical trial, 80 eyes of 40 patients who met inclusion criteria were enrolled. they underwent prk using pt or pta algorithm randomly. higher-order aberration...

During recent years, many advanced oxidation techniques have been investigated for water and wastewater treatment to overcome the shortage of clean water. This review summarizes the background and principles of photocatalysis applied as an advanced oxidation technology. In particular, this paper focuses on modification of photocatalysts with various dopants as well as the novel photocatalytic r...

The occurrence of trace organic contaminants in wastewaters, their behaviour during wastewater treatment and drinking water production are the key issues in relation to the reuse of water resources. Elimination of different classes of emerging contaminants, such as surfactant degradates, pharmaceuticals and polar pesticides in wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) was found to be rather low and co...
