In-situ air sparging has evolved as an innovative technique for soil and groundwater remediation impacted with volatile organic compounds (VOCs), including chlorinated solvents. These may exist as non-aqueous phase liquid (NAPL) or dissolved in groundwater. This study assessed: (1) how air injection rate affects the mass removal of dissolved phase contamination, (2) the effect of induced ground...

Keeping the water table at a favorable level is quite significant for a sustainable management of groundwater plans. Various management measures need to know the spatial and temporal behavior of groundwater. Therefore, the measurement of groundwater levels are generally carried out at spatially random locations in the field; whereas, most of the groundwater models requires these measurement at ...

The back-propagation (BP) artificial neural network (ANN) is applied to forecast the variation of the quality of groundwater in the blackfoot disease area in Taiwan. Three types of BP ANN models were established to evaluate their learning performance. Model A included five concentration parameters as input variables for seawater intrusion and three concentration parameters as input variables fo...

We investigate the possible regular solutions of the boundary Yang-Baxter equation for the vertex models associated with the A (1) n−1 affine Lie algebra. We have classified them in two classes of solutions. The first class consists of n(n − 1)/2 K-matrix solutions with three free parameters. The second class are solutions that depend on the parity of n. For n odd there exist n reflection K-mat...

Groundwater Exploration is the one of the burning issue in nature and environmental science. At present time, India is leading towards major water crises. Groundwater will be the most exploited natural resource in future. Therefore, it is need of the time to have efficient and precise exploration of groundwater resources. There can be various methods to save earth from these groundwater crises ...

information on nitrate in groundwater resources requires periodic measurements are accurate. despite the measure in some areas due to sensitive social and health community are not reported. therefore, be informed of the status of each area of water quality, modeling is essential. the purpose of this study was the application of artificial neural network method for estimating nitrate and compare...

background: masticatory ability as a subjective response to masticatory function indicates patients’ perception of their mastication. to the best of our knowledge, there has been no study on association between masticatory ability and psychological status. this study investigated the association between self-assessed masticatory ability (sama) and psychological status among a large sample of ir...

As a developing country the protection of groundwater resources is extremely important in India. Landfills are a major source of water pollution. The filling for the disposal site in Ahmedabad, occurs at a distance of about 50 meters from Ahmedabad plant water intake. In addition, there are several holes are near the tip, which is used for drinking and domestic use. A survey of the composition ...

this paper presents a three-dimensional numerical investigation carried out in turbulent forced convection in a tube with helical ribs. enhancement of heat transfer using helically corrugated tubes has beenstudied experimentally by many researchers but there exist a few published numerical analyses results. the paper also introduces the results of heat transfer and friction factor data for inco...
