Background and purpose: Solid waste leachate including different physical, chemical and biological pollutants is one of the most contaminated wastewater types. The limitations of conventional biological method for leachate treatment are the high energy consumption, nutrient requirement, sludge production, and cost. In this research, the efficiency of anaerobic baffled reactor modified by anaero...

most specialists in the field of foreign language teachingconsiderreading skill as an interactive process between the reader’s prior knowledge and the text.accordingly, the activation of prior knowledge for an effective comprehension is very important. it is generally agreed that the pre-reading phase is the stage where this type of interaction and activation may be enhanced throughcertain stra...

a phase-locked loop (pll) based frequency synthesizer is an important circuit that is used in many applications, especially in communication systems such as ethernet receivers, disk drive read/write channels, digital mobile receivers, high-speed memory interfaces, system clock recovery and wireless communication system. other than requiring good signal purity such as low phase noise and low spu...

fluorescence chemical sensors for the highly sensitive and selective determination of pb2+ , hg2+, co2+ and fe3+ ions in aqueous solutions are described. the ion sensing system was prepared by incorporating lipophilic ligand (l) as a neutral ion-selective fluoroionophore in the plasticized pvc membrane containing sodium tetraphenylborate or potasium tetrakis (p-chlorophenyl) borate as a liphoph...

Background and purpose: One of the solutions for sludge production is to reduce that via decreasing the yield coefficient by oxic-settling anoxic process with different oxidation reduction potential (ORP) in sequencing batch reactor (SBR) activated sludge. Materials and methods: We used 2 SBR reactors (20 L volume) that were controlled online. At a steady state in reactors, some parameters suc...
