1991 Abstract. A topological space X is called A-real compact, if every algebra homomorphism from A to the reals is an evaluation at some point of X, where A is an algebra of continuous functions. Our main interest lies on algebras of smooth functions. In AdR] it was shown that any separable Banach space is smoothly real compact. Here we generalize this result to a huge class of locally convex ...

The design storm derived from intensity–duration–frequency (IDF) curves is the main input for hydrologic analysis or hydraulic flood control. regions with higher risks due to extreme precipitation are often deficient in gauges. This study presents a detailed evaluation of IDF using IMERG Final half-hourly (V06), fitted widely used CDFs: Gumbel and MLE, MM, Pearson 3, GEV. As benchmarks followin...

Nitrogen (N) and sulfur (S) are essential nutrients for optimum plant growth. A commercial-grade biosolid-enriched ammonium sulfate (Bio/AMS) was evaluated compared with a conventional, (AMS) to investigate the release patterns of N S in soils. The laboratory-based studies included (a) characterization fertilizer sources, (b) soil leaching columns 0.01% citric acid an soil, (c) incubation follo...

This work aimed to develop a novel methodology based on aqueous micellar systems (AMS), for producing soy protein concentrates (SPC) from soybean flour and recovering high-valuable bioactive compounds as by-products. Ethoxylated aliphatic alcohols Tergitol 15-S-7 15-S-9, non-toxic biodegradable surfactants, were selected form the AMS. The consisted of an extractive stage with AMS, which rendere...
