Artificial neural networks, ANNs, have been widely used especially in the last two decades. ANNs have a wide range of scientific applications, they are used for pattern recognition and forecasting of natural mechanisms. In water treatment, ANNs have enormous potential, especially to support workers in plant operation. In clear water plants are taking large volumes of data, especially informatio...

Introduction: Chlorination is the most common and successful method for disinfection of drinking water, especially in developing countries. However, due to the probability of formation of disinfection by-products especially Trihalomethanes (THMs) that are known as hazardous and usually carcinogenic compounds, this study was conducted to assess the investigation of THMs in drinking water of Abba...

Humans have always done nonmonotonic reasoning, but rigorous monotonic reasoning in reaching given conclusions has been deservedly more respected and admired. Euclid contains the first extended monotonically reasoned text available to a large public. I suspect that even Euclid did nonmonotonic reasoning in arguing for the postulates. It is unfortunate that the rigorous monotonic reasoning of Eu...

(Received for publication, July 21, 1952) Many histological studies1),2),3) on the innervation of mammalian tongues have been reported and praiseworthy results achieved histherto, but much seems yet left unexplored, and in particular, many questions are still waiting solution in connection with dog tongue.

People who have gout may contend with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes, and women seem more vulnerable than men, according to a large population-based study. The researchers at Harvard Medical School analyzed data from gout patients, and from those without the disease, in the United Kingdom's Health Improvement Network (THIN) database. They found a higher incidence of type 2 diabetes among ...
