Sequential washing techniques using single or dual agents [sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and hydrochloric acid (HCl) solutions] were applied to arsenic-contaminated soils in an abandoned iron-ore mine area. We investigated the best remediation strategies to maximize arsenic removal efficiency for both soils and arsenic-containing washing solution through conducting a series of batch experiments. Base...

We develop a theoretical context in which to study the future-sequential regularization method developed by J. V. Beck for the Inverse Heat Conduction Problem. In the process, we generalize Beck's ideas and view that method as one in a large class of regularization methods in which the solution of an ill-posed rst-kind Volterra equation is seen to be the limit of a sequence of solutions of well...

Text mining used on texts and publications in the biomedical molecular biology fields is referred to as "biomedical text mining." It a relatively new area of study at intersection computational linguistics, bioinformatics, natural language processing. Superior usefulness goal sequential pattern identify statistically significant patterns among data instances when values are presented sequential...

In his 1963 PhD thesis, Wilson proposed the first sequential quadratic programming (SQP) method for the solution of constrained nonlinear optimization problems. In the intervening 48 years, SQP methods have evolved into a powerful and effective class of methods for a wide range of optimization problems. We review some of the most prominent developments in SQP methods since 1963 and discuss the ...
