A self-design bioreactor system employing a fixed bed operation process with immobilized Bacillus subtilis AYC beads for NH4+-N removal from slightly polluted water was proposed. Polyvinyl alcohol and Na-alginate were used as a gel matrix to entrap Bacillus subtilis AYC to form the immobilized beads. The NH4+-N removal process was studied in a intermittent operation mode to examine the start-up...

The antifungal activities of three supercritical CO2 (SCC) extracted cedar oils, Port-Orford-cedar (POC) (Chamaecyparis lawsoniana), Alaska yellow cedar (AYC) (Chamaecyparis nootkatensis), and Eastern red cedar (ERC) (Juniperus virginiana L), were evaluated against two common wood decay fungi, brown-rot fungi (Gloeophyllum trabeum) and white-rot fungi (Trametes versicolor). The statistical anal...

Trimethoprim-MIPs were prepared by using (TMP) as the template well allylchloride (AYC) or allylbromide (AYB) monomer, used (TMPTA) tri methylol propane acrylate ethylene glycol di methyl (EGDMA) cross-linker and initiator (BP) benzyl peroxide. By different plasticizers (di butyl Phthalate (DBPH), Nitrobenzene (NB), oleic acid (OA) paraffin) for TMP-MIP1 (Di sebecate (DBS), Di (DMA), Tributylph...

In automated container terminals (ACTs), quay cranes (QCs), guided vehicles (AGVs), and yard (AYCs) interact intensively to handle containers at seaside side. This work investigates interacting equipment in ACTs that employ AGVs with the capability of lifting a temporarily buffered transfer area front storage block. By establishing using Petri net model interaction system (EIS) for transportati...

Nesting (Cutting and Packing) problems are optimization problem encountered in many areas of business that look for good arrangement of multiple items in larger containing regions. The objective of this problem is to maximize the utilization of resource material. There is a large range of the applicability of these problems as there are many diverse instances of it that are encountered in the i...

Abstract. This study validates large-eddy simulation (LES) for predicting the flow through a wind turbine array subjected to active yaw control. The consists of three miniature turbines operated in both non-yawed and yawed configurations under full-wake partial-wake conditions, which tunnel measurements are available. turbine-induced forces parametrised by different models: standard actuator di...
