In  this  research,  biological  removal  of  phenol  and  orthonitrophenol  (2NP)  pollutants  from wastewater  by  continuous  moving  bed  sequencing  batch  reactor  (MSBR)  was  studied.  The experiments were conducted in various operational conditions to find out the optimum level of the significant  parameters.  Best  performance  for  removal  of  Phenols  was  achieved  when  parameter...

This article aims at identifying the factors involved in affecting the travel demand to Iran. The hypothesis of the research specifies the variable of “domestic social unrest and insecurity” as the most significant obstacle that stands against an expansion of the demand for travel to Iran. To test the above hypothesis, first several demand models that have been proposed to study demand for tour...

This paper focuses on the social-laden components of cooperation and how mixed-initiative computing must be developed with this in mind. The nature of experimental work is examined from the perspective of a real world environment unmanned air vehicles consisting of illdefined, emergent properties that demand coordinated teamwork. Mixed-initiative intelligence is hence examined from the flow of ...

In modern telecommunications industry, demand & supply chain management (DSCM) needs reliable design and versatile tools to control the material flow. The objective for efficient DSCM is reducing inventory, lead times and related costs in order to assure reliable and on-time deliveries from manufacturing units towards customers. In this paper the multi-rate expert system based methodology for d...

We have considered a distribution inventory system with one warehouse and several retailers. Customer demand arrives at the retailers and the material flow between echelons is driven by reorder point/order quantity inventory control policies. Our objective is to calculate the long-run inventory statistics. The challenge in this system is to characterize the demand arrival process at the warehou...

The demand for safety for electronic systems, especially safety critical systems, is high. Nowadays such systems are tested and simulated with a manually created set of test cases. But testing cannot reach a complete coverage for complex designs. Hence, we present a verification flow for Counting Heads for railways which are used by many electronic railway interlocking systems from SIEMENS. Our...
