Abstract Falling coffee filters are a common object of study in introductory physics laboratory classes. They usually used to demonstrate the terminal velocity, and determine how drag force depends on this velocity. However they can also be other ways that air affects motion falling filter. In particular, qualitatively different fluid acts during initial acceleration from rest, causes much less...

waste water from a molasses alcoholic fermentation plant (mww) was treated biologically with phanerochaete chrysosporium. the ability of this white-rot fungus to degrade the dark colored pigments present in mww and the consequent decrease the effluent's color was examined. the optimum concentration of mww for color removal was determined and set at the ratio of 1:10. the color changes during in...

In the present study, ranges and correlation among different physicochemical parameters viz., air temperature, water temperature, pH, turbidity, total dissolved solids, conductivity, dissolved carbon dioxide, ammonia, nitrate, dissolved oxygen, biological oxygen demand, chloride, total alkalinity, total hardness and phosphate were taken into consideration. The water quality of Baidya fish pond ...

The temporal fluctuation of the average slope of a ricepile model is investigated. It is found that the power spectrum S(f) scales as 1/f with α ≈ 1.3 when grains of rice are added only to one end of the pile. If grains are randomly added to the pile, the power spectrum exhibits 1/f behavior. The profile fluctuations of the pile under different driving mechanisms are also discussed. PACS number...

Businesses that rely on a value-added network to provide information processing and communications services are only as secure as the network itself. The customer should understand the types of processing and control services provided by such vendors, and the potential exposures that use of these networks can entail. This article describes the control issues that must be addressed, the controls...
