As fontes que abastecem o sistema público de água em Florianópolis, Santa Catarina-Brasil são muito diversificadas e foram usadas na investigação da formação de trihalometanos (THM). Os resultados obtidos apresentaram relação com os mananciais onde são feitas as captações de água. Nos mananciais onde há maior contato com vegetação a quantidade de trihalometanos totais (TTHM) foi maior. As amost...

This paper presents the numerical analysis of an experimental soil drying test carried on initially slurry specimen with controlled temperature and relative humidity in a laboratory environmental chamber. The imposed conditions lead to evaporation consequent shrinkage, triggering perimeter crack between body mould. follows THM approach two objectives: identify parameters that govern drying, det...

In this article, superstitions prevailing in India. attached to medicinal plants have been compiled. The author opines that there must be some rationale behind each of these superstitious practices which merits painstaking study to understand thm in the proper perspective.

I:n this paper, we describe a new corpus-based approach to prepositional phrase a t t achment disambiguation, and present results colnparing peffo> mange of this a lgori thm with other corpus-based approaches to this problem.

In France, a deep geological disposal for high level radioactive waste (HLW) and intermediate-level long-lived (ILW-LL) called Cigéo is planned to be constructed in Callovo-Oxfordian claystone (COx) formation. The heat released from the HLW packages leads temperature increase host rock, which causes pore pressure essentially due difference between thermal expansion of water solid skeleton. low ...

OBJECTIVES To report trihalomethane (THM) and haloacetic acid (HAA) concentrations in drinking water, assess variations in these concentrations depending on source and over time, and estimate individual intake during pregnancy. METHODS Water taken from 33 representative points of the water supply network of the 25 municipalities in the study area was analyzed from 2006-2008. Water drinking ha...

Over 1.1 billion people in the world lack access to improved drinking water. Diarrheal and other waterborne diseases cause an estimated 2.2 million deaths per year. The Safe Water System (SWS) is a proven household water treatment intervention that reduces diarrheal disease incidence in users in developing countries. Because the SWS recommends the addition of sodium hypochlorite to unfiltered w...

Abs t rac t At the heart of many optimizat ion procedures are powerful pruning and propagation rules. This paper presents a case study in the construction of such rules. We develop a new algor i thm, Complete Decreasing Best F i t , that finds the opt imal packing of objects into bins. The algor i thm use a branching rule based on the well known Decreasing Best Fi t approximat ion algor i thm. ...

Accumulating herbage mass to facilitate the extension of grazing season in autumn is commonly practised. The objective current study was investigate effect accumulating varying target masses (THM) and imposing different defoliation dates (DD), on mass, sward quality water-soluble carbohydrates subsequent spring. A 4 × 3 factorial split plot design assigned with four THM (Low ? 500 kg·DM·ha?1, M...
