Domestic waste water treatment using Onsite Sewage Treatment and Disposal Systems (OSTDS) (also known as septic systems) is a source of nitrogen contamination in groundwater and surface water. Estimating nutrient load from septic systems as a storm water source to surface water bodies is important to reduce nutrient load in support of Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) programs. Software packages ...

Monte Carlo (MC) simulation includes a wide range of stochastic techniques used to quantitatively evaluate the behavior of complex systems or processes. Microsoft Excel spreadsheets with Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) software is, arguably, the most commonly employed general purpose tool for MC simulation. Despite the popularity of the Excel in many industries and educational institutions,...

The recent development in high-resolution mass spectrometry (MS) has afforded powerful analytical equipments, e.g., ultra performance liquid chromatography coupled to time-offlight mass spectrometry (UPLC TOFMS), for rapid qualitative analysis of samples as complex mixtures in biomedical research. This is especially beneficial for the research fields as untargeted metabolomics and pharmaceutica...

A Cross sectional data based study was performed on the demographics of patients labelled as rifampicin resistant using Genexpert® from the period of January 2014 to June 2015 at the Provincial TB reference Laboratory, Dow University of Health Sciences. The records of the patients diagnosed as rifampicin resistant by Genexpert® were tabulated using Microsoft Excel® with anonymization and analyz...

The aim of this paper is to describe the evolution of GIS applications development process, based on the SDKs transformations, especially by considering the ESRI ArcGIS development platform. On the one hand, this study relies on our previous experience in GIS software engineering; on the other hand, it reflects the features and particularities of the projects we conducted within the bachelor an...

Three of the primary enhancements of ArcGIS 8.3 include improved support for linear referencing, the ability to do disconnected editing, and topology. This presentation will focus on the application of these enhancements as they relate to pipeline GIS. Dynamic Segmentation of linear pipeline features in a geodatabase will be discussed with particular attention to ArcGIS 8.3 features. Disconnect...
