Graphoto is a framework that automatically generates a photo or adjusts an existing one to match a line graph. Since aesthetics is an important element in visualizing personal data, Graphoto provides users with aesthetically pleasing displays for casual line graph information visualization. More specifically, after creating a line graph of the input data, a photo that resembles the input data o...

Photometric redshift (photo-z) estimates are playing an increasingly important role in extragalactic astronomy and cosmology. Crucial to many photo-z applications is the accurate quantification of photometric redshift errors and their distributions, including identification of likely catastrophic failures in photo-z estimates. We consider several methods of estimating photo-z errors and propose...

Abstract This article considers the impact of improved sanitation beyond physical well-being. Based on experiences women from three community-based organisations (CBOs) in rural Philippines, this expands documented non-health related outcomes health, safety and security, cleaner surroundings, ownership, to also include those linked household income, livelihood, CBOs. Drawing participatory quali...

nickel doped tio2 nano particles (1% w/w) were prepared and immobilized on nax zeolite and after characterization by x-ray diffraction (xrd) and scanning electron microscopy (sem) used as photo catalyts for degradation of orange g. the xrd patterns show that the supported tio2 are crystallized in anatase form and the intensity of the zeolite peaks decreases with the increase of tio2 loading. sc...

introduction: this study compared the efficacy of light-activated low-power laser, 2% chlorhexidine (chx) and 2.5% naocl in eliminating enterococcus faecalis ( e. faecalis) from the root canal system. methods and materials: the root canals of 60 maxillary central incisors were contaminated with e. faecalis and then the bacteria were incubated for 24 h. all the root canals were instrumented in a...

nitrate is one of the pollutants of groundwater and the great amount of nitrate in drinking water can bring about some hygienic problems such as methemoglobinema phenomena in children. therefore, this research aims to study the efficiency of photo- fenton in removing nitrate and investigating the variables affecting it in aqueous solutions. this research was carried out in water and wastewater ...
