9 This study investigates the occurrence of all priority substances (n = 41) listed in the 10 Water Framework Directive and additional substances (n = 47) in raw sewage, as well as the 11 removal performance of lamella clarification and biofiltration techniques. Once the efficiency 12 of both types of techniques has been assessed for typical wastewater parameters, the 13 differences in each tec...

Since its publication by the European Society of Radiology (ESR) and the European Association of Nuclear Medicine (EANM), the Multimodality Imaging Training Curriculum has given rise to numerous discussions regarding its aims and applicability [1–4]. Both societies therefore wish to clarify specifically the purpose and scope of the document. The aim of the Multimodality Imaging Training Curricu...

The pseudotumor cerebri syndrome (PTCS) may be primary (idiopathic intracranial hypertension) or arise from an identifiable secondary cause. Characterization of typical neuroimaging abnormalities, clarification of normal opening pressure in children, and features distinguishing the syndrome of intracranial hypertension without papilledema from intracranial hypertension with papilledema have fur...

as funct/onal/sm. It is my contention that his argument is seriously mistaken and rests on a misunderstanding of the functionalist position. While my primary aim is to defend functionalism from Thagard’s attack, in the process I hope to provide some much needed clarification of matters both philosophical and computational. Since I intend to untangle issues that are often troublesome in cognitiv...

A suspension of wastewater and treatment organisms in an aerated tank is known as the activated sludge process. The activated sludge process can be used for onsite wastewater treatment, generally requiring the addition of an air pump to deliver oxygen to the system and provide mixing energy. Suspended growth treatment systems can be secondary only (require supplemental primary treatment) or com...

For the TREC 2004 Novelty track, UMass participated in all four tasks. Although finding relevant sentences was harder this year than last, we continue to show marked improvements over the baseline of calling all sentences relevant, with a variant of tfidf being the most successful approach. We achieve 5–9% improvements over the baseline in locating novel sentences, primarily by looking at the s...
