The quest for an effective alternative means for effluent treatment is a major concern of the modern-day scientist. Fungi have been attracting a growing interest for the biological treatment of industrial wastewater. In this study, Saccharomycescerevisiae and Torulasporadelbrueckii were isolated from spoiled watermelon and inoculated into different concentrations of effluent. The inoculants wer...

Four different strategies of pulping and bleaching were carried out to develop alternative mechanistic ecoenvironmental friendly approaches and generated effluent was characterised. Strategy-I included Phanerochaete sp. fungal pretreatment followed by conventional bleaching, whereas in strategy-II, fungal pretreatment was followed by enzyme xylanase aided bleaching. Strategy-III also included x...

OBJECTIVE To determine the most effective and biodegradable dispersant of spilled oil in water surrounding two Persian Gulf provinces. METHODS This study compared the effects of three dispersants, Pars 1, Pars 2, and Gamlen OD4000 on removal of oil in two Persian Gulf provinces' water. Overall, 16 stations were selected. Using the Well method, the growth rate of isolated bacteria and fungi wa...

Intermittent demand patterns are very difficult to forecast and they are, most commonly, associated with spare parts’ requirements. Most research in this area focuses on the control of inventories assuming that an appropriate estimator is in place to forecast demand and that the demand is represented by one of the standard statistical distributions. The choice of a demand distribution has an im...

We estimate the relative importance of alternative labour supply and demand mechanisms in explaining rise female force participation over last 55 years Mexico. The growth Mexico between 1960 2015 followed an S-shape, with a considerable acceleration during 1990s. Using decomposition methods shift-share design, we show that, put together, factors can account for period, led by increases women’s ...

the aim of this study was to represent effective componentsin demand chain which help organizations attain high performance levelsthrough identification of these components and determining theirdegree of importance. the following questions were major ideas of thisstudy: what are the most effective components in demand chain? andhow are they effective on organizational performance? to this end,m...

Abstract In this paper we propose a modification to the standard forecasting, periodic order-up-tolevel inventory control approach to dealing with intermittent demand items, when the lead-time length is shorter than the average inter-demand interval. In particular, we develop an approach that relies upon the employment of separate estimates of the interdemand intervals and demand sizes, when de...

A TiO2/Ti mesh electrode by laser calcination was prepared in this article. The resulting TiO2 film was investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and it illuminated that the prepared electrode mainly consisted of anatase TiO2 nanoparticles on its surface and exhibited a superior photocatalytic activity. The photodegr...
