the aim of this paper is to study the popular models used for the simulation of major elements of a water quality system. the present study compares results of the ce-qual-w2 model with the wasp5 and mike11 models to assess the water quality of pasikhan river. the contaminant loadings of nitrate and phosphate are utilized in the ce-qual-w2, wasp5 and mike11 simulations. this study is the first ...

The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of epigenetic inactivation of the runt-related transcription factor 3 gene (RUNX3) in the malignant transformation of ovarian endometriosis. Samples obtained by microdissection and scraping included 30 malignant ovarian endometriotic cyst tissues and 30 corresponding eutopic endometrium tissues from the endometriosis-associated ovarian ca...

Résumé. Très populaire et très efficace pour l’estimation de paramètres d’un modèle de mélange, l’algorithme EM présente l’inconvénient majeur de converger parfois lentement. Son application sur des tableaux de grande taille devient ainsi irréalisable. Afin de remédier à ce problème, plusieurs méthodes ont été proposées. Nous présentons ici le comportement d’une méthode connue, LEM, et d’une va...

Environmental sustainability is driving firms to extend their green effort across their supply chain. However, the literature has not thoroughly examined the multiple relationships among supply chain (SC) strategy, corporate environmental (CE) strategy, and firm performance. As such, this paper, adopts an alignment perspective to empirically examine the complex links between four SC strategies ...

In today’s global economy, assessing costs of compliance is crucial to understand how environmental regulations infl uence fi rms’ behaviour and in particular their ability to compete at an international level. A three step methodology is used to conduct a comparison of Scotland’s industry with the international community. The fi rst step compares environmental protection expenditures among the...

The main problem of segmentation in spectral images that containing mixed pixels is addressed. Linear spectral unmixing is a procedure by which mixed pixels are decomposed into a collection of pure spectra, or endmembers, with their corresponding proportions, or abundances. Markov random field (MRF) is used to model the spatial correlation between pixels and segment the image into multiple clas...
