There was no conclusive evidence for overall improvements in the levels of compliance by British zoos. Having the same zo...

In this paper, a new algorithm for the blind identification of SISO communication channels is introduced. Based on methods from computational algebraic geometry, the approach achieves a full description of the solution space and thus avoids the local minima issue of adaptive algorithms. Furthermore, unlike most symbolic methods, the computational cost is kept low by a split of the problem into ...

results the results showed that the fog amount in input raw sewage in the mwwtp from june 2011 to september 2011 was around 25.5 mg/l and the amount in treated wastewater was about 8.1 mg/l. the fog removal efficiency in this refinery was about 70% and met the environmental standards for the discharge (less than 10 mg/l) (p < 0.05). conclusions the effluent can be discharged to surface waters o...
