Objectives: (State the relevant objectives of the project; 75 words or less.) This study was designed to contribute to a better understanding of the fate of chloramines in distribution systems. The project objectives were to: 1) characterize the influence of water quality parameters on chloramine decomposition rates; 2) evaluate and compare chloramine decomposition rates in distributions system...

At first glance, correcting mistakes while speaking seems like purely a performance issue, of little interest to theoretical linguists. We think this phenomenon deserves a second glance. (1) Anders, uh ..., [Andrew]F broke the window. We will refer to the portion of the utterance preceding the disfluency as the anchor, and the portion following it as the correction. A first analysis might be th...

[1] Numerical modeling of mantle convection is challenging. Owing to the multiscale nature of mantle dynamics, high resolution is often required in localized regions, with coarser resolution being sufficient elsewhere. When investigating thermochemical mantle convection, high resolution is required to resolve sharp and often discontinuous boundaries between distinct chemical components. In this...

Due to the large amount of chemical data available, it is essential to organize them and given the numerous problems derived from applying spreadsheets, it motivated us to construct an improved tool geared to contain large amounts of data. This paper presents ThermInfo, a public web tool that integrates a database based upon a relational data specification for describing structural and thermoch...

Conversion of biomass into biofuels (gaseous and liquid fuels) can be achieved primarily by biochemical and thermochemical processes [2]. Although biochemical technologies are well developed and widely used for biofuels production [3], however, the types of biomass can be used are limited. Thermochemical gasification appears to be a promising technology that can exploit the embedded energy with...

Several research works have investigated the direct supply of renewable electricity to electrolysis, particularly from photovoltaic (PV) and wind generator (WG) systems. Hydrogen (H2) production based on solar energy is considered be newest solution for sustainable energy. Different technologies which allow hydrogen are presented study their benefits inconveniences. The technology water decompo...
