Batiaghata Upazila, Khulna District in south-west coastal region of Bangladesh is the mostly saline affected area, where agriculture activities are mainly dependent on rainfall. 23 water samples from surface water and shallow tube well (STW) were collected in the monsoon season and analyzed for physico-chemical properties to classify them according to salinity hazard. Electrical Conductivity (E...

We sought to examine the possible participation of dopaminergic receptors in the phasic events that occur during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, known as sawtooth waves (STW). These phasic phenomena of REM sleep exhibit a unique morphology and, although they represent a characteristic feature of REM sleep, little is known about the mechanisms which generate them and which are apparently differe...

Corn processing streams are characterized by high water content. Removal of water and recovery of solids are major economic and logistical challenges. New technologies are needed to modify processing streams and to reduce variability and improve quality of coproducts. The objective was to determine the effectiveness of microfiltration and ultrafiltration systems in altering water, solids (prote...

The work in this thesis was carried out in the context of the Artemisia project supported by PROGRESS/STW.

The ship speed through water (STW) is a critical variable for evaluation of performance. With cubic relation to the expected shaft power, even small inaccuracies in measured STW amplifies more considerable power. traditionally using log, specifically by Doppler acoustic log principle. stability and precision this technique however questionable, particularly when ships are exposed waves. For equ...

Functional gastrointestinal disorders such as functional (or non-ulcer) dyspepsia are characterized by a broad spectrum of symptoms referred to the upper abdomen without a detectable cause utilizing routine diagnostic measures. It is now believed that disordered gut function (including abnormalities like disturbances of motility such as postprandial fundic relaxation, gastric emptying and distu...

Performance analysis of manufacturing systems : queueing approximations and algorithms / Acknowledgements This thesis is the result of more than four years of work. It actually started in August 2002, when Jan van Doremalen gave me the opportunity to carry out my master's thesis at CQM. My supervisors Simone Resing and Ivo Adan played an important role in my decision to continue the research in...

Mining sequential patterns on environment sensor data is a challenging task; the data can present noises and may also contain sparse patterns, which are difficult to be detected. The knowledge extracted from environment sensor data can be used to determine climate changes. However, there is a lack of methods that can handle this kind of database. In this paper, we propose a method to mine seque...
