A pilot scale membrane bioreactor hybrid system (MBR-HS) was evaluated for municipal wastewater treatment. This novel system comprised of a granular activated carbon-sponge fluidized bed bioreactor (GACS-FBBR) followed by a submerge membrane bioreactor (MBR) with the capacity of 2 L/min. The results indicated that the MBR-HS could effectively remove 90% DOC and 95% NH₄-N. PO₄-P removal efficien...

O artigo trata da eminência do caráter cíclico economiacapitalista, destacando que o revigoramento capital dos lucros decrescentesé dependente de modificações, fundamentais, no seio estrutura docapitalismo. Historicamente, a forma mais conhecida dessas reformas,fundamentais, estão alicerçadas em mudanças base técnica e organizacional.Na reforma estrutural submerge partir conhecidosmomentos cris...

in order to investigate the role of multi-wall carbon nanotubes (mwcnts) on fracture mechanism of epoxy nanocomposites, a series of tensile standard specimens reinforced with different carbon nanotube contents (0, 0.3, 0.6 and 1 wt%) were produced. the fracture surfaces of the produced nanocomposites were evaluated using scanning electron microscope (sem). the results show that the surface frac...

If we increase the osmotic pressure at one end of a Nitella cell by applying a solution of sucrose and if we subsequently submerge the entire cell in water we find that water enters at the end where the osmotic pressure is higher and comes out of the cell at the other end. If similar inequalities of osmotic pressure should arise as the result of metabolism we can understand how a secreting cell...

In Greek mythology, the river Styx is a river that formed the boundary between earth and the underworld or Hades, the abode of the dead. The ferryman of the river Styx was called Charon, a personification of the decision-making process between life and death. According to some versions of the myth, the river Styx had miraculous powers and could make someone immortal. Achilles was said to have b...

Next Generation Air Traac Management will allow for the possibility of free ight, in which each aircraft chooses its own optimal route, altitude and speed. In a free ight environment, the trajectories of several aircraft may be connicting, in which case aircraft may or may not cooperate in resolving the connict. This paper presents a method for noncooperative connict resolution in which each ai...
