The operation of an activated sludge process at a paper mill (AIPM) in Hedera, Israel, was often characterized by disturbances. As part of a research and development project, a study on new biological treatment was initiated. The study included the operation of three pilot units: a. anaerobic treatment by upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB); b. aerobic treatment by two pilot units including ...

Benzodiazepine binding sites were studied in mitochondria of unicellular eukaryotes, the amoeba Acathamoeba castellanii and the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and also in rat liver mitochondria as a control. For that purpose we applied Ro5-4864, a well-known ligand of the mitochondrial benzodiazepine receptor (MBR) present in mammalian mitochondria. The levels of specific [(3)H]Ro5-4864 bindin...

With stringent wastewater discharge limits on nitrogen and phosphorus, membrane bioreactor (MBR) technology is gaining popularity for advanced wastewater treatment due to higher effluent quality and smaller footprint. However, higher energy intensity required for MBR plants and increased operational costs for nutrient removal limit wide application of the MBR technology. Conventional nitrogen r...

introductioncurrently, treated industrial wastewater is discharged to the environment in most industrial towns in iran. it is, however, a potential water resource for produce industrial process water. for reach this reuse application, further treatment would be needed. nowadays membrane separation processes are becoming quite popular in wastewater treatment and reclamation, since they combine p...

A private information retrieval (PIR) scheme allows a user to retrieve file from database without revealing any on the being requested. As of now, PIR schemes have been proposed for several kinds storage systems, including replicated and MDS-coded systems. However, problem constructing regenerating codes has sparsely considered. code is whose codewords are distributed among nodes, enabling effi...

Background & Aims of the Study: In order to design membrane bioreactors (MBR) properly, it is essential to comprehend the behavior of microorganisms in such wastewater treatment processes. Materials & Methods: In this study, a lab-scale MBR process was operated to determine the biokinetic coefficients of the MBR system under different MLSS concentrations of 6800, 7000, 74...

Classification learning applies to a wide range of tasks, from diagnosis and troubleshooting to pattern recognition and keyword assignment. Many methods have been used to build classification systems, including artificial neural networks, rule-based expert systems (both hand-built and inductively learned), fuzzy rule systems, memorybased and case-based systems and nearest neighbor systems, gene...

Oily wastewater is generated from various sources within the petrochemical industry, including extraction, refining and processing, storage, transportation. Over years, large volumes of oily this industry have made their way into environment, negatively affecting human health, economy. The raw waters can differ significantly complex features, making them difficult to treat. Membrane bioreactors...
