Chemical recovery of methyl acetoacetate from the amoxicillin plant’s waste stream was investigated. In process of amoxicillin production for activation of amoxicillin molecule, hydrolysis takes place at final stage. As a result methyl acetoacetate is formed. Liquid-liquid extraction was employed for the recovery of methyl acetoacetate from the waste stream. Diluted alkaline solution was used a...

We study the formation of the Milky Way’s halo in a ΛCDM cosmology by scaling down a high resolution simulation of the formation of a cluster of galaxies. We determine how much phase-space substructure is left over from the objects that merge to build up the present galaxy. We study the debris streams originating from such objects and find that their evolution can be explained simply in terms o...

We seed a large real-world social network with binary information and analyze subsequent social learning. A unique feature of our field experiment is that we measure both the pre-existing social networks and the actual conversation network. Our experiment allows us to test how rational agents behave when processing information that originates within their social network. We find that informatio...

An experimental study of scalar mixing in a laminar vortex is presented for vortices generated between two gas streams flowing parallel to each other in a rectangular flow channel. An isolated line vortex is initiated on demand by momentarily increasing one stream velocity in relation to the other using an electromagnetically actuated piston. The temporal piston motion profile is tailored to ge...

Data stream classification is one of the most vital areas contemporary machine learning, as many real-life problems generate data continuously and in large volumes. However, research this area focuses on vector-based representations, which are unsuitable for capturing properties more complex multi-dimensional structures, such images video sequences. In paper, we propose a novel methodology lear...

An erosion hazard index methodology (EHIM) was developed for assessing stream erosion. The index of stream erosion is designed as a management tool. Assessing stream erosion involves consideration of a range of aspects of streams and a value judgment about a desirable state. The assessment of the erosion indicators of streams was based on a state-wide assessment of physical stream condition. A ...

Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication systems use antenna arrays at both the transmitter and the receiver to offer substantial benefits in terms of rate and reliability. Two standard approaches for communicating in MIMO systems are spatial multiplexing and transmit diversity. Multiplexing sends independent information streams across the transmit antennas to maximize rate while tra...

To assess environmental health of a stream, field, or other ecological object, characteristics of that object should be compared to a set of reference objects known to be healthy. Using streams as objects, we propose a k-nearest neighbors algorithm (Bates Prins and Smith, 2006) to find the appropriate set of reference streams to use as a comparison set for any given test stream. Previously, inv...

In this paper we present an approach to symbol anchoring that is based on mapping sequences of distance measurements from simple sensors. The sensory space of the mobile robot is pre-structured according to its experiences when it first moves around in unexplored environments. Such pre-structuring depends not only on environmental features, but also on the type of behaviour the robot exhibits. ...
