t is the purpose of this paper to contribute to the discussion initiated bywachter about the parallelism between principal component (pc) and atypological grade of membership (gom) analysis. the author testedempirically the close relationship between both analysis in a lowdimensional framework comprising up to nine dichotomous variables and twotypologies. our contribution to the subject is also...

factors that affect stability. The interaction of pharmaceutical solids with water can affect their chemical stability as well as their physical and mechanical properties. The influence of moisture on solid-state stability has therefore been extensively documented. It is important now to understand and to anticipate the behaviour of a product exposed to a variety of environmental conditions (e....

Sorption of P to the bed sand medium is a major removal mechanism for P in subsurface flow constructed reed beds. Selecting a sand medium with a high P-sorption capacity is therefore important to obtain a sustained P-removal. The objective of this study was to evaluate the P-removal capacities of 13 Danish sands and to relate the removal to their physico-chemical characteristics. The P-removal ...

A previous study involving lead(II) [Pb(II)] sorption onto ferrihydrite over a wide range of conditions highlighted the advantages of combining molecular- and macroscopic-scale investigations with surface complexation modeling to predict Pb(II) speciation and partitioning in aqueous systems. In this work, an extensive collection of new macroscopic and spectroscopic data was used to assess the a...

Using a soil improvement biotechnology based on microbial-induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) to form horizontal water barrier in foundation pit dewatering can not only achieve good control effect, but also the cost and obtain economic environmental benefits. In this study, taking Shanghai layer ⑨ sand as research object, solution injected into by MICP grouting technology includes bacterial ...

Abstract Neonicotinoid pesticides can persist in soils for extended time periods; however, they also have a high potential to contaminate ground and surface waters. Studies reported negative effects associated with neonicotinoids nontarget taxa, including aquatic invertebrates, pollinating insect species, insectivorous birds. This study evaluated factors clothianidin (CTN) degradation sorption ...

First we show that the cosets of a fuzzy ideal μ in a BCK-algebraX form another BCK-algebra  X/μ (called the fuzzy quotient BCK-algebra of X by μ). Also we show thatX/μ is a fuzzy partition of X and we prove several some isomorphism theorems. Moreover we prove that if the associated fuzzy similarity relation of a fuzzy partition P of a commutative BCK-algebra iscompatible, then P is a fuzzy quo...
