This study investigated the microbial community in a full scale anaerobic baffled reactor and sequencing batch reactor system for oil-produced water treatment in summer and winter. The community structures of fungi and bacteria were analyzed through polymerase chain reaction–denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis and Illumina high-throughput sequencing, respectively. Chemical oxygen demand eff...

background: due to the high toxicity of aflatoxin and its effects on public health, determination of aflatoxin level in wheat flour samples in the golestan province, north of iran was investigated. to examine the effect of seasonal changes, summer and winter sampling was performed with standard sampling methods. methods: a total of 200 flour samples were collected from 25 factories. hplc method...

This paper reviews the reliability impacts occurring from the implementation of the demand response initiatives offered in New York’s Emergency Demand Response Program (EDRP) and New England’s Load Response Program (LRP) for the summer of 2001. The New York Independent System Operator, Inc. (NYISO), the New England Power Pool (NEPOOL) and the Independent System Operator of New England Inc. (ISO...

The primary aim of this study is twofold. First, the authors seek to identify the factors that influence members of the general public to conduct Internet searches for health information. Their second intent is to explore the influence such Internet use has on three types of personal empowerment. In the summer of 2007 the authors conducted a household sample survey of a population of Canadian a...

We give an overview of the K framework, following the lecture notes presented by the author at the Marktoberdorf Summer School in year 2016.

Standard Arabic (SA) is an extremely rich natural language that has unfortunately received very little interest within computational linguistics literature. We propose in this paper to explore this fertile ground and show the first steps towards the formalization of Arabic syntax and semantics by means of MultiModal Categorial Grammars. We will particularly focus on the analysis of some phenome...

Acknowledgements I wish to express my gratitude to my supervisors, Johan van Benthem and Sonja Smets. They have been excellent guides both through the technical intricacies and the philosophical subtleties that I encountered during my research. I would particularly like to thank Johan for badgering me to always keep in mind the big picture and to Sonja for her day-today supervision and careful ...
