introduction growing use of hydrocarbon constituents in various industries have generated significant quantities of hazardous wastes which lead to environmental pollution. in recent years, the strong global demands for fossil fuels and industrial chemicals have resulted in the release of some of these compounds into soil, water and air.hydrocarbon-contaminated soils are among the important envi...

a study was performed in hybrid up flow anaerobic sludge blanket (huasb) and anaerobic filter (af) reactors to compare the start-up time and optimum hrt required for the treatment of poultry slaughterhouse wastewater under similar loading conditions. initially, the reactors were started at an olr of 0.77 kg cod/m3.d and hrt of 36 h. loading rates were increased by reducing hrt 24, 16, 12, 10 an...

We propose a method for emulating the behavior of your favorite MIMD computer on a network of workstations, so that programs written for the MIMD target can run on the distributed emulated version with just a recompilation. This is achieved by executing the computational parts as in the native run, with the message passing being simulated. The hardware of the target machine is simulated so that...
