Performance of electrical stimulated anaerobic baffled reactor for removal of typical pollutants from low-strength municipal wastewater at low temperatures

Background: Although anaerobic system has been successfully used for treating the strong industrial wastewater, its efficiency for low-strength wastewater as municipal wastewater is not satisfying. This study aimed to enhance the capability of an anaerobic baffled reactor (ABR) for treating municipal wastewater. Methods: A 7-L ABR with 5 compartments was operated for a 287-day period fed with ...

High magnetic field corrections to resistance thermometers at low temperatures

Low evolutionary potential for egg-to-adult viability in Drosophila melanogaster at high temperatures.

To cope with the increasing and less-predictable temperature forecasts under climate change, many terrestrial ectotherms will have to migrate or rely on adaptation through plastic or evolutionary means. Studies suggest that some ectotherms have a limited potential to change their upper thermal limits via evolutionary shifts, but research has mostly focused on adult life stages under laboratory ...

Sample environment at low temperatures

2014 A review of low temperature techniques as applied to neutron scattering studies is presented. Methods of temperature measurements especially carbon thermometry are discussed. Problems of heat transfer are treated in detail for different kind of samples and some solutions are proposed. Revue Phys. Appl. 19 (1984) 677-683 SEPTEMBRE 1984, The number of neutron scattering studies at temperatur...

Reset Noise at Low Temperatures

This paper presents results of the measurement and modelling of reset noise in charge-detection circuits of detector array multiplexers at low temperatures. To explain the temperature dependence of reset noise, it is proposed to take into account the source of noise associated with emission of electrons from interface states under the gate of reset transistor. It was found that at very low temp...
