Nanocolloids (Ncs) are highly dispersed mixtures of nanoscale (1–100 nm) heterogeneous systems, which ubiquitous in aquatic environments. Ncs considered a vital pollutant carrier due to their special surface properties and unique hydrodynamic characteristics. They play an essential role the process promoting migration transformation. In recent years, with increase chemicals environment complexi...

Cesium is the heaviest stable alkali metal (with only one isotope – 133Cs) and it occurs mainly as a potassium-substituting cation. It an important trace element in rocks typical for Earth crust, its content biomass also relatively high compared to those abiogenic elements which are little soluble. Low-cost analytical methods like X-Ray Fluorescence inadequate quantify cesium natural samples, s...

ecological destruction in human-dominated landscapes has significant impacts on environment sustainability internationally. landscape planning can play a role in mitigating the effects of human-related activities. one element of landscape planning involves the analysis of the biological, spatial and social arrangement of areas in an urban environment and identifying characteristics that are und...

Today existing speech recognisers differ not only in their technology from single word to natural language understanding, from hardware based and software-only solutions but also in the recognition accuracy under realtime conditions in the whole variety of environments and networks. Standardised APIs for a defined state diagram of recognition process are the key requirement for integrating diff...

König (1989) argues that there is a relation of duality between concessive and causal constructions. Therefore, he maintains, any account of the meaning of causal connectives like because, via duality, also provides an account of the meaning of concessive connectives such as although. This paper lists a number of problems with König's account. Appealing to notions central to relevance theory, i...

Previous experimental studies on concessive connectives have only looked at their local facilitating or predictive effect on discourse relation comprehension and have often viewed them as a class of discourse markers with similar effects. We look into the effect of two connectives, but and although, for inferring contrastive vs. concessive discourse relations to complement previous experimental...

one of the major aspects of quality of life is place-attachment which is affected by human-nature interactions. looking at such a critical issue in human settlements requires the study of the relationship between architecture and nature. it is a critical issue in the contemporary literature of built environment and is discussed in specific frameworks such as phenomenology and environmental psyc...

Industrial effluents are a menace to the environment and the fact that their characteristics vary from industry-to-industry only adds to the complex challenge they offer to the engineers and scientists. Resource-efficient and environment-friendly solutions to this hazard are a call of the hour. Coagulation, by synthetic chemicals, has been used as a cost-effective and efficient method for manag...
