A sinusoidal grating can be viewed as a series of light and dark bars. Here we measure the contrast discrimination thresholds for light and dark bars individually, and find that the contrast discrimination thresholds for the whole sinusoid can be explained as ideal summation of the light and dark bar thresholds. We propose a model for light bar, dark bar, and sinusoidal contrast discrimination ...

The FullSWOF-ZG (Full Shallow Water Overland Flow with infiltration determined by Zones and Grate-inlet submodules) program was used to simulate the road-bioretention (RB) stripe evaluate performance of RB three types curb inlet. revised from open-source FullSWOF-2D validation results indicated predicts accurately. model cases 27 different longitude slopes (S0), cross (Sx), inlet lengths (Lci) ...

The genus Emmenomma is revised and now includes three species from Southern Chile, Argentina and Falkland Islands (Islas Malvinas). The type species Emmenomma oculatum is redescribed and considered a senior synonym of E. beauchenicum. Emmenomma oculatum obscurum is removed from synonymy with E. oculatum, raised to the species level and redescribed; the male of this species remains unknown. A ne...

Recent years have seen significant increases in the average heating values of wastes in Central Europe. Essentially, this can be attributed to recycling measures, separate recovery of waste streams, and treatment and processing procedures in modified waste management concepts. As a result of the above and due to the increasingly frequent application of energy recovery procedures for commercial ...

Emissions of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/F) from waste incineration into the air have been a major focus of interest during the last two decades. An integrated approach to clean waste disposal has to take the occurrence of PCDD/F in all residues into account. This paper compiles published data on concentration ranges of PCDD/F and the related compounds polychlorina...
