The Cuatro Ciénegas Basin (CCB) is a rare oasis in the Chihuahuan Desert in the state of Coahuila, Mexico. It has a biological endemism similar to that of the Galapagos Islands, and its spring-fed ecosystems have very low nutrient content (nitrogen or phosphorous) and are dominated by diverse microbialites. Thus, it has proven to be a distinctive opportunity for the field of astrobiology, as th...

Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have led the way in the treatment of aqueous waste and are rapidly becoming the chosen technology for many applications. In this paper, COD reduction potential of leather tanning industry wastewaters by Electro-Fenton (EF) oxidation, as one of the AOPs, was experimentally evaluated. The wastewater sample was taken from an outlet of an equalization basin in a ...

In the past several years, various techniques were proposed to analyze various types of structural errors, such as inconsistency (conflict rules), and circularity (circular depending rules), of rule-based systems. Model checking is a technique for the verification of temporal logic specifications in state transition systems. In this paper, we model the rule-based systems as finite state transit...

Image acquisition system of chestnuts has been designed in this study. After the preprocessing on the images, including image de-noising, image enhancement, image segmentation, edge extraction and edge linking, the parameters of the shape features of chestnuts such as the areas, the perimeter, the circularity, the eccentricity and the degree of circularity have been extracted. This study propos...

The lunar semidiurnal influence is already known for tidal rivers. The moon also influences inland rivers at a monthly scale through precipitation. We show that, for some non-tidal rivers, with special geological conditions, the lunar semidiurnal tidal oscillation can be detected. The moon has semidiurnal tidal influence on groundwater, which will then export it to streamflow. Long time series ...
