A large database of in SiLU bio-optical measurements were collected at the LEO-IS (Long-tcrm Ecosystem Observatory) off the southern coast of New Jersey, USA. The data were used to quantify the impact of coastal upwelling on near-shore bulk apparent (AOP) and inherent (lOP) optical properties, There was good qualitative agrecment between the AOPs and lOPs in space and time. The measured lOPs we...

1. Abstract An approach to multiobjective optimization is to define a scalar substitute objective function that aggregates all objectives and solve the resulting aggregate optimization problem (AOP). In this paper, we discern that the objective function in quasi-separable multidisciplinary design optimization (MDO) problems can be viewed as such an aggregate objective function (AOF). We consequ...

According to previous survey, about two million of people were expected to suffer from toxic effects due to humidifier disinfectant (HD), regardless of healing or not. Extremely small group are recognized as HDs' victims. Up to now, previous research tried to focus on interstitial fibrosis on terminal bronchiole because it is specific finding, compared with other diseases. To figure out overall...

A perovskite catalyst combined with various advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) to treat organic wastewater attracted extensive attention. The physical and chemical catalytic properties of were largely related oxygen vacancies (OVs). In this paper, the recent advances in regulation OVs for enhancing functionality was reviewed, such as substitution, doping, heat treatment, wet-chemical redox rea...

Ozone is a powerful antimicrobial agent that is suitable for application in food in the gaseous and aqueous states. Molecular ozone or its decomposition products (for example, hydroxyl radical) inactivate microorganisms rapidly by reacting with intracellular enzymes, nucleic material and components of their cell envelope, spore coats, or viral capsids. Combination of ozone with appropriate init...

The code that provides solutions to key software requirements, such as security and fault-tolerance, tends to be spread throughout (or cross-cut) the program modules that implement the “primary functionality” of a software system. Aspect-oriented programming is an emerging programming paradigm that supports implementing such cross-cutting requirements into named program units called “aspects”. ...

Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) are a family of unintentionally produced persistent organic pollutants (POPs) that have received considerable public and scientific attention due to the toxicity of some of their congeners, more specifically those with chlorine substitution in the 2,3,7,8 positions. The environmental management and control of PCDD/Fs is addressed at ...

Applications of advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) in water and wastewater treatment have been the subject growing interest throughout last decade. Although UV/hydrogen peroxide (UV-H2O2) is most established technology among UV-AOPs, UV-chlorine (UV-Cl) emerging as a reliable potentially more cost-effective alternative. Recent studies indicated that UV-Cl may be efficient economically favourab...

The use of AOPs (Advanced Oxidation Processes) for the treatment of industrial wastewaters has increased during the last years. The process efficiency depends on the treatment conditions (temperature, pH, reagent dosage etc.) and it is very difficult to predict it because the reaction mechanisms are strongly affected by the mutual relationship among these parameters and the wastewater compositi...
