To investigate the diurnal variations of the ocular blood flow in healthy eyes using laser speckle flowgraphy (LSFG), and to determine the relationship of the diurnal variations between the ocular blood flow and other ocular parameters.This prospective cross-sectional study was conducted at Nagoya University Hospital. We studied 13 healthy volunteers whose mean age was 33.5 ± 7.6 years. The mea...

The performance of combined Fenton oxidation and membrane bioreactor (MBR) process for the advanced treatment of an effluent from an integrated dyeing wastewater treatment plant was evaluated. The experimental results revealed that under the optimum Fenton oxidation conditions (initial pH 5, H2O2 dosage 17 mmol/L, and Fe2+ 1.7 mmol/L) the average total organic carbon (TOC) and color removal rat...

The long-term performance of a submerged membrane fungi reactor was observed while a synthetic textile wastewater containing either or both of the two structurally different azo dyes was continuously fed. Compared to the Acid Orange II dye (simpler structure), higher biosorption but slower biodegradation of the polymeric dye (Poly S119) was observed in sterile batch tests. In the membrane biore...

Membrane fouling presents the greatest challenge to the application of membrane bioreactor (MBR) technology. Formation of biofilms on the membrane surface is the suggested cause, yet little is known of the composition or dynamics of the microbial community responsible. To gain an insight into this important question, we applied 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing with a curated taxonomy and fluor...

Wastewater treatment plants play a critical role in reducing point source pollution watersheds; however, taking on the task of pollutants such as COD and NH3-N, they also consume energy intensively, which can result additional greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions operating (OAM) costs. Therefore, appropriate effluent targets should be implemented to achieve balance between load reduction, costs, depe...

Pemerintah Kota Surabaya berupaya mengatasi permasalahan kemiskinan di melalui Peraturan Walikota Nomor 58 Tahun 2019 Tentang Tata Cara Pengumpulan, Pengolahan, Pemanfaatan dan Pelaporan Data Masyarakat Berpenghasilan Rendah. Namun dalam realisasinya terdapat beberapa permasalahan, salah satunya Kelurahan Simolawang warga yang mampu memiliki mobil serta sudah meninggal masih terdaftar sebagai R...

Membrane bioreactors (MBRs) can be broadly defined as systems integrating biological degradation of waste products with membrane filtration. They have proven quite effective in removing organic and inorganic contaminants as well as biological entities from wastewater. Advantages of the MBR include good control of biological activity, high quality effluent free of bacteria and pathogens, smaller...

In this paper, the minimal backup reprovisioning (MBR) problem is studied, in which, the failure-independent path protecting pcycles (FIPP p-cycles) scheme is considered for single node-failure on WDM networks. After recovering the affected lightpaths from a node failure, the goal of the MBR is to re-arrange the protecting and available resources such that working paths can be protected against...

In our recently published paper [1], we presented a risk-based lattice cutting procedure to segment ASR word lattices into smaller sub-lattices as a means to to improve the efficiency of Minimum Bayes-Risk (MBR) rescoring. In the experiments reported [1], some of the hypotheses in the original lattices were inadvertently discarded during segmentation, and this affected MBR performance adversely...
