Advancements in information and communication technologies have enhanced our possibilities to communicate worldwide, eliminating borders and making it possible to interact with people coming from other cultures like never happened before. Such powerful tools have brought us to reconsider our concept of privacy and social involvement in order to make them fit into this wider environment. It is p...

Since the Law of Offensive Odor Control was enacted, many enterprises have made efforts to prevent odor nuisance. Odor survey was conducted at each factory and characteristics of odor emission for each kind of business were made clear. And many researches and developments have been carried out to confirm reliable technique. In order to remove odorants from exhaust gas, deodorizing plants have b...

BACKGROUND Changes caused by clonidine in rodent electroencephalograms (EEG) have been reported with some inconsistency. For this reason, a pre-clinical study was conducted in order to confirm previous findings with both a standard spectral analysis and a sleep stage scoring procedure. In addition, a nonlinear technique for analysing the time-varying signals was implemented to compare its perfo...

While the functions of sleep remain largely unknown, one of the most exciting and contentious hypotheses is that sleep contributes importantly to memory. A large number of studies offer a substantive body of evidence supporting this role of sleep in what is becoming known as sleep-dependent memory processing. This review will provide evidence of sleep-dependent memory consolidation and sleep-de...

This study reviews the available and most commonly used methods of gas deodorization. Comparing various odor removal, undoubtedly biological pollution degradation have an advantage over others—chemical physical. is manifestedmainly in ecological economic terms. The possibility using to remove H2S NH3, as common emitted by municipal sector companies, was analyzed terms their removal efficiency. ...

one of the most important stages in sugar industry that making wastewater and contamination is the water obtained to washing of co2 in mazoot furnace and related pumps. amount of water consumption in this stage is about 30 to 35 percent of weight of sugar beet, so amount of this stream is considerable. mixing of carbon black and water compose the colloid in liquid phase. these colloids do not s...

Network data envelopment analysis models assess efficiency of decision-making unit and its sections using historical data but fail to measure efficiency of its units and their internal stages in the future. In this paper we aim to measure efficiency of stages of bank branches and obtain efficiency trend of stages during the time, then to estimate their efficiency in the future therefore we can ...
