background & aims of the study: drinking polluted water can transmit diseases, so potable water treatment is one of the most challenging and complex systems in countries. continuous monitoring for evaluation process in water treatment plant is important. this study aims to investigate performance evaluation of qom water treatment plant to remove turbidity and coliform in 2005 - 2014. materials ...

Production of halloumi cheese in Cyprus has increased rapidly over the last decade since popularity is growing. This results excess production whey streams that pose serious environmental concerns and are difficult to manage. In our study, poorly investigated second (SCW) generated after extraction anari, a by-product manufacture, was examined for dairy industry lactic acid bacteria (LAB) cultu...

Root systems consist of different root types (RTs) with distinct developmental and functional characteristics. RTs may be individually reprogrammed in response to their microenvironment to maximize adaptive plasticity. Molecular understanding of such specific remodeling--although crucial for crop improvement--is limited. Here, RT-specific transcriptomes of adult rice crown, large and fine later...

This study measured the extinction coefficients of supercritical water (SCW)-based multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) nanofluids by using an in-house developed chamber. A He–Ne laser with a wavelength 632.8 nm was employed as light source. Rod-shaped quartz diameter 3 mm and length 305 installed at top bottom chamber so that could pass through To maintain SCW-based MWCNT in chamber, designed ...

BACKGROUND Fungal components have been shown very effective in generating Th17 responses. We investigated whether exposure to a minute amount of C. albicans in the arthritic joint altered the local cytokine environment, leading to enhanced Th17 expansion and resulting in a more destructive arthritis. METHODOLOGY Chronic SCW arthritis was induced by repeated injection with Streptococcus pyogen...

During the period of mitosis, two surface contraction waves (SCWs) progress from the animal to vegetal poles of the Xenopus egg. It has been shown that these SCWs occur in parallel with the activation of MPF and with its subsequent inactivation in the animal and vegetal hemispheres, suggesting that they are responses to propagated waves of MPF activity across the egg. We have analysed the mecha...

Background Our knowledge of signaling mechanisms involved in secondary cell wall (SCW) formation is quite limited. To discover novel markers of SCW, a genomics approach using Zinnia elegans xylogenic cultures was undertaken that identified hundreds of gene candidates expressed at the onset of secondary wall formation [1]. Arabidopsis homologs and the corresponding T-DNA mutants for each Zinnia ...

In this paper, we propose a new Soft Confidence-Weighted (SCW) online learning scheme, which enables the conventional confidence-weighted learning method to handle non-separable cases. Unlike the previous confidence-weighted learning algorithms, the proposed soft confidence-weighted learning method enjoys all the four salient properties: (i) large margin training, (ii) confidence weighting, (ii...

Abstract Fe/Ti-based compounds were synthesized from ferro-titaniferous mineral sands using aqueous oxalic acid under subcritical water (sCW) conditions (135°C/50 bar/4 h) and their photocatalytic activity was evaluated against methylene blue or caffeine UV-A visible radiation. The X-ray diffraction Raman spectroscopy analyses revealed that the as-synthetized mainly comprised of ferrous oxalate...
