We present a novel up-resing technique for generating high-resolution liquids based on scene flow estimation using deep neural networks. Our approach infers and synthesizes small- large-scale details solely from low-resolution particle-based liquid simulation. The proposed network leverages neighborhood contributions to encode inherent properties throughout convolutions. also propose interpolat...

The present work aimed to investigate the microbial dynamics during the anaerobic treatment of the azo dye blue HRFL in bench scale upflow anaerobic sludge bed (UASB) reactor operated at ambient temperature. Sludge samples were collected under distinct operational phases, when the reactor were stable (low variation of color removal), to assess the effect of glucose and yeast extract as source o...

The application of granular biomass has enabled energy efficient, high-rate wastewater treatment systems. While initially designed for high-strength treatment, systems can also play a major role in resource recovery. This study focused on the formation purple phototrophic bacteria (PPB) during synthetic treatment. Liquid upflow velocity was applied as driving force granulation. Separate reactor...

From the Håkon Mosby Mud Volcano (HMMV) on the southwest Barents Sea shelf, gas and fluids are expelled by active mud volcanism. We studied the mass transfer phenomena and microbial conversions in the surface layers using in situ microsensor measurements and on retrieved cores. The HMMV consists of three concentric habitats: a central area with gray mud, a surrounding area covered by white mats...

Observations from the special UK EISCAT program UFIS are presented. UFIS is a joint UHF-VHF experiment, designed to make simultaneous measurements of enhanced vertical plasma flows in the F-region and topside ionospheres. Three distinct intervals of upward ion flow were observed. During the first event, upward ion fluxes in excess of 1013 m~2 s~1 were detected, with vertical ion velocities reac...

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of chitosan coatings, oregano essential oil, and their combination on microbial quality of chicken fillet during 12 days in refrigerator temperature. Methods: Oregano oil was extracted by water distillation and then different concentrations of oregano oil (1% and 2%) were used for film preparation. Microbiological tests were carri...

This study investigated the efficiency of nanoscale zero-valent iron combined with persulfate (NZVI/PS) for enhanced degradation of brilliant red X-3B in an upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor, and examined the effects of NZVI/PS on anaerobic microbial communities during the treatment process. The addition of NZVI (0.5 g/L) greatly enhanced the decolourization rate of X-3B from 63.8%...

Recent DNS studies of buoyant bubbly flows in vertical channels are discussed. Simulations of nearly spherical bubbly flows in vertical channels show that the bubbles move towards the wall for upflow and away from the wall for downflow in such a way that the core is in hydrostatic equilibrium. For downflow the wall layer is free of bubbles but for upflow there is an excess of bubbles in the wal...

In this study granular sludge taken from a denitrifying upflow sludge reactor was characterized. Denitrification rates were determined in batch tests with and without external carbon source addition and pH microprofiles of the granules were studied. The microbial community structure was also determined. The results showed that denitrification without carbon source addition occurs; however, the ...
