the objective of this research was to develop a laboratory test procedure to predict full-scale primary clarifier performance using chemically enhanced primary treatment (cept). a method was developed that simulated actual primary clarifier performance, with chemical enhancements, based on simulating full-scale surface overflow rate (sor) and flocculation time in the laboratory. the method used...

objective(s): to investigate the chronopharmacological effects of growth hormone on executive function and the oxidative stress response in rats. materials and methods: fifty male wistar rats (36-40 weeks old) had ad libitum access to water and food and were separated into four groups: diurnal control, nocturnal control, diurnal gh-treated, and nocturnal gh-treated animals. levels of cu, zn sup...

In this study, the direct method including evaluation criteria of handling qualities as optimization method’s constraints are carried out to complement problems of the indirect method that assesses whether a flight control system designed by existing optimization techniques satisfies handling qualities or not. For the direct method, co-evolutionary augmented Lagrangian method is used. F-16 long...

Due to changeable nature of the industrial wastewaters, proper operation of an industrial wastewater treatment plant is of prior importance in order to keep the process stability at the desired conditions. In this mean, simulation of the treatment system behavior using artificial neural network (ANN) can be an effective tool.  This paper evaluates long term performance and process stability of ...

oily wastewaters from oil refineries and oil distribution centers are one of the most important environmental concerns in recent decades; therefore, it is critical to treat these types of wastewaters. in this study, the performance of different polyethersulfone hollow fiber membranes in oily wastewaters treatment was investigated and the effects of operating conditions such as transmembrane pre...
