Utilisation of Municipal Solid Waste is important to curb the ever rising demand of scarce land for its disposal. Changing life style patterns, particularly in urban areas, has led to increase in generation of MSW. Municipal solid waste from Indian cities estimated to have 40% 60% organic matter, which could be recycled as compost. The most suitable way to recycle it with low investment is aero...

Effect of in-water oxygen prebreathing at different depths on decompression-induced bubble formation and platelet activation in scuba divers was evaluated. Six volunteers participated in four diving protocols, with 2 wk of recovery between dives. On dive 1, before diving, all divers breathed normally for 20 min at the surface of the sea (Air). On dive 2, before diving, all divers breathed 100% ...

Automated computerized scoring systems (ACSSs) are being increasingly used to analyze text in many educational settings. Nevertheless, the impact of misspelled words (MSW) on scoring accuracy remains to be investigated in many domains, particularly jargon-rich disciplines such as the life sciences. Empirical studies confirm that MSW are a pervasive feature of human-generated text and that despi...

Little knowledge exists about the degree of source, sink and source: sink limitations on mean seed weight in oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.). The objective of this work was to analyze the nature and magnitude on seed weight response to assimilate availability during the effective seed-filling period in oilseed rape. Three Argentinean varieties, Eclipse, Impulse, and Master, were grown under fi...

Determining the physical and chemical characteristics of municipal solid waste (MSW) aids in assessing potential environmental impacts any management initiative. The study aimed to determine basic urban MSW from two Pakistani megacities (Lahore Rawalpindi). Physical, proximate, ultimate micronutrient analyses, as well an energy analysis, were performed on sampled MSW. Physically, there was 65–7...

site selection is an important and necessary issue for waste management in fast-growing regions. because of the complexity of waste management systems, the selection of the appropriate solid waste landfill site requires consideration of multiple alternative solutions and evaluation criteria. this paper addresses the sitting of a new landfill using a multi-criteria decision analysis (mcda) and o...

We generalise the biswapped network Bsw(G) to obtain a multiswapped network Msw(H ;G), built around two graphs G and H . We show that the network Msw(H ;G) lends itself to optoelectronic implementation and examine its topological and algorithmic. We derive the length of a shortest path joining any two vertices in Msw(H ;G) and consequently a formula for the diameter. We show that if G has conne...
