The data on the occurrence of keratinolytic fungi in sewage, municipal solid waste and waste-contaminated habitats are reviewed. In these habitats, keratinolytic fungi occur with extreme abundance. The factors influencing qualitative and quantitative compositions of the fungi in the habitats are discussed. It is concluded that keratinolytic fungi can be the bioindicators of environmental pollut...

Fault Trees are well-known models for the reliability analysis of systems, used to compute several kinds qualitative and quantitative measures, such as minimal cut-sets, system failure probability, sensitivity (importance) indices, etc [...]

Item-level analysis allows for the examination of qualitative age and individual differences in skill acquisition, which are obscured when aggregating data across items. In the present study, item-level strategy shifts were generally gradual and variable, rather than abrupt and collective. Strategy shift reversions were frequent, and the total transition space was extensive, for both younger an...

An interactive cased based reasoning tool for assisting engineers with the mathematical modelling tasks associated with the analysis of thermal problems is described. By representing fundamental thermal modelling scenarios as cases, complex physical systems are modelled in a piecewise fashion by successive application of matching cases. Retrieval is based on the use of qualitative indices, deri...

This study investigates whether phonological working memory is associated with spoken language development in preschool children. Assessments were made of speech corpora taken from 3-year old children grouped in terms of their phonological memory abilities. Both quantitative and qualitative indices of the children's spontaneous speech output were taken in a structured play session. Significant ...

background: unsustainable development of human societies, especially in arid and semi-arid areas, is one of the most important environmental hazards that require preservation of groundwater resources, and permanent study of qualitative and quantitative changes through sampling. accordingly, this research attempts to assess and analyze the spatial variation of quantitative and qualitative indica...

The aim of the study was to investigate the Cassia auriculata and cardiospermum halicacabum leaf for Phytochemical compounds and GC-MS analysis. The presence of phytochemical compounds was screened by qualitative method. The results showed the presence of Phytochemical compounds of carbohydrates, phenol, lipid, protein, saponin, flavonoids and tannin. GC-MS analysis 13,15 bioactive phytochemica...

This paper aims to present an approach for modeling and analyzing an M/G/1//2 retrial queue, using the MRSPN ( Markov Regenerative Stochastic Petri Nets ) tool. The consideration of the retrials and finite source population introduce analytical di culties. The expressive power of the MRSPN formalism provides us with a detailed modeling of retrial systems. In addition to this modeling, this form...
