Effect of intermittent aeration cycle (IAC=15/45-60/60min) on nutrient removal and microbial community structure was investigated using a novel fluidized bed reactor-membrane bioreactor (FBR-MBR) combo system. FBR alone was found more efficient for removing PO4-P (>85%) than NH4-N (<40%) and chemical oxygen demand (COD<35%). However, in the combo system, COD and NH4-N removals were almost compl...

We present the first application of the 3D cosmic shear method developed in Heavens et al. (2006) and the geometric shear-ratio analysis developed in Taylor et al. (2006), to the COMBO-17 data set. 3D cosmic shear has been used to analyse galaxies with redshift estimates from two random COMBO-17 fields covering 0.52 square degrees in total, providing a conditional constraint in the (σ8, Ωm) pla...

Abstract Computational homogenization is the gold standard for concurrent multi-scale simulations (e.g., FE2) in scale-bridging applications. Often are based on experimental and synthetic material microstructures represented by high-resolution 3D image data. The computational complexity of operating such voxel data distinct. inability voxelized geometries to capture smooth interfaces accurately...

Summary: Combo is a comparative genome browser that provides a dynamic view of whole genome alignments along with their associated annotations. Combo provides two different visualization perspectives. The perpendicular (dot plot) view provides a dot plot of genome alignments synchronized with a display of genome annotations along each axis. The parallel view displays two genome annotations hori...

Algorithms for fusing information acquired from different imaging modalities have shown to improve the segmentation results of various applications in medical field. Motivated by recent successes achieved using densely connected fusion networks, we propose a new architecture purpose 3D multi-modal brain MRI volumes. Based on hyper-densely convolutional neural network, our network features promo...

Many isolates of glucose-nonfermenting gram-negative bacilli (NFB) cultured from clinical veterinary specimens are not identified because of the large number of identification tests required. We evaluated two commercial identification systems to determine if they could accurately identify NFB isolated from animals. Of 182 strains of NFB, the MicroScan Urinary Combo Panel (MicroScan, Inc., Campb...

Each of the Minerva houses has a seminar room that is equipped with a limited amount of technology. In keeping with the President's initiative to build a close relationship between academic and student life, the rooms are available to both students and faculty to use. each room contains a motorized projection screen, a ceiling-mounted data projector, and a DVD/VCR combo unit. A panel in the roo...
