A laboratory-scale membrane bioreactor (MBR) was fed with synthetic wastewater to investigate the possibility of simultaneous removal of organic, nitrogen and phosphorus by intermittent aeration. The MBR consists of two compartments using a microfiltration membrane with 0.2 μm pore size and a surface area of 0.35 m2. Hydraulic retention time was set at 24 hours and solid retention time 25 days....

We present measurements of the transverse momentum spectra for K 0 S , Λ , Ξ − and their antiparticles in p+p collisions at √ s = 200 GeV. The extracted mid-rapidity yields and pT are in agreement with previous p + ¯ p experiments while they have smaller statistical errors. We compare the measured particle spectra and pT values to predictions from the PYTHIA leading order pQCD model (v6.221) an...

Vermicomposts processed commercially from food wastes and paper wastes were applied, to 4.5 m(2) field plots, under high plastic hoop tunnels, at rates of 5 or 10 tha(-1) to evaluate their effects on the growth and yields of strawberries (Fragaria ananasa) var. 'Chandler'. The vermicomposts were incorporated into the top 10 cm of soil and supplemented, based on chemical analyses, with amounts o...

We studied the suitability of municipal solid waste compost (MSWC) application to submerged rice paddies in the perspective of metal pollution hazards associated with such materials. Experiments were conducted during the wet seasons of 1997, 1998 and 1999 on rice grown under submerged condition, at the Agriculture Experimental Farm, Calcutta University at Baruipur, West Bengal, India. The treat...

Caltech-UCSD Birds 200 (CUB-200) is a challenging image dataset annotated with 200 bird species. It was created to enable the study of subordinate categorization, which is not possible with other popular datasets that focus on basic level categories (such as PASCAL VOC, Caltech-101, etc). The images were downloaded from the website Flickr and filtered by workers on Amazon Mechanical Turk. Each ...

This study aimed to evaluate the efficiency of energy consumption and economic analysis of different watermelon cultivation systems in Fars Province of Iran. Watermelon production systems were classified into five systems, namely, custom tillage (group 1), conservation tillage (group 2), traditional planting (group3), semi mechanized planting (group 4), and mechanized planting (group 5). Data w...
