This study examined how forest edges, fruit display size, and fruit colour influenced rates of seed dispersal in an endemic, bird-dispersed, New Zealand mistletoe species, Alepis flavida. To examine rates of seed dispersal, fruit removal rates were compared between plants growing on forest edges and in forest interior, and also between two morphs of plants with different coloured fruits. Two as...

in this research we described the effective hamiltonian theory and applied this theory to the calculation of current-current (q1,2) and qcd penguin (q3,…,6) c quark decay rates. we calculated the decay rates of semileptonic and hadronic of charm quark in the effective hamiltonian theory. we investigated the decay rates of d meson decays according to spectator quark model (sqm) for the calculati...

A low cost adsorbent Fly Ash was used for the removal of Reactive Red 194 dye (RR 194 dye) from textile effluent. The Fly ash was activated by chemical treatment by N/2 H2SO4. Batch adsorption experiments were performed as functions of adsorbent doses, initial dye concentration, contact time, and pH. The percentage of colour removal was increased with decreasing dye concentration and increasing...

the textile industry has long been one of the largest of water users and nolluters and there has been little success in developing low cost treatment methods , which the industry urgently needs to lessen the pollution loads it discharges to streams. the obiective of this preparatory study was to determinen the effects o f coagulants and aid coagulant s as alum, ferrous sulfate , ferric sulfate ...

In this paper a new fuzzy filter for the removal of additive Gaussian noise in colour image sequences is presented. The proposed method, which is a colour extension of our previous work on greyscale images, consists of two subfilters. The first subfilter averages the noise in each of the colour bands separately. In this averaging, the weights of the neighbouring pixels are determined by fuzzy r...

This paper reports the potential of watermelon seed as a natural coagulant for water treatment. It was aimed at identifying watermelon seed as a possible replacement for alum and other synthetic polyelectrolytes in treating water. Laboratory scale studies using jar test experiments were performed on medium turbid water to determine the effect of dosage, pH stirring time and speed on coagulation...
