Accurate estimation of battery performance and capacity is essential for assessing the capabilities different batteries determining state health (SOH). Typically, diagnostic methods such as constant current charge/discharge, interrupt, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) are demonstrated in laboratory tests with controlled environmental conditions. In real-world applications, electric ...

In this study biomass acclimation in a side stream partial nitrification sequencing batch reactor (SBR) was performed under optimum conditions (T 30ºC, SRT 9± 1 days and hydraulic retention time (HRT) 1.2 day). Excess sludge for solids retention time (SRT) regulation was added to another batch reactor (main stream) which performed under different conditions for partial nitrification evaluation ...

Temperature dependency of radiation damage in albite and natrolite was studied quantitatively by measuring the diffraction intensity with imaging plates. Radiation damage was reduced at low temperature in albite but was enhanced in natrolite. A damage process model, in which creation and annihilation of localized defects were considered, was proposed. According to this model, Boltzmann factor i...

Numerical models are a means to increase the understanding of the processes occurring in the "black box" constructed wetland. Once reliable models for constructed wetlands are available they can be also used for evaluating and improving existing design criteria. The paper shows simulation results for outdoor experimental subsurface vertical flow constructed wetlands using CW2D, a multi-componen...

The changes in excess thermodynamic quantities upon the contact of two solutes immersed in a solvent are analyzed using the radial-symmetric and three-dimensional versions of the integral equation theory. A simple model mimicking a solute in water is employed. The solute-solute interaction energy is not included in the calculations. Under the isochoric condition, the solute contact always leads...
