An average p,p'- DDE concentrations in pore water of contaminated soil ranged from 0.36 mu g/L to 0.55 mu g/L and there were no statistically significant among the cultivars. Conversely, the xylem sap p,p'- DDE concentration ...

In this study, we researched the main aquatic vegetation (AV) species and their orthophosphate and turbidity removal efficiencies in the Lower Kelkit Basin of Turkey. We chose an experimental area (1650 m(2)) in the field ...

Different kinds of vegetable oils and their methyl/ethyl esters have been tested in diesel engines. However, studies reporting the effects of tobacco seed oil and Tobacco Seed Oil Methyl Ester (TSOME) on emissions of diesel ...

Physical disintegration of representative toilet papers was investigated in this study to assess their disintegration potential in sewer systems. Characterization of toilet papers from different parts of the world indicated ...

Valonia tannin (VT) was gelated through polymerization with formaldehyde to prepare an adsorbent, which was found effective to remove Ag+ from aqueous solution. The adsorption-desorption behaviors of valonia tannin resin ...

We present results of ab initio theoretical investigations of the electronic structure, phonon dispersion relations, electron-phonon interaction and superconductivity in the rocksalt and tungsten-carbide phases of CrC. It ...

Protozoa and metazoan in the activated sludge in the laboratory-scaled plant were investigated. Peranema sp., Epistylis sp., Didinium sp., Chilodonella sp., Opercularia sp., Vorticella sp. as protozoa species and Habrotrocha ...

This paper presents the use of artificial neural network (ANN) to develop a model for predicting rejection rate (R-o) of single salt (NaCl) by nanofiltration based on experimental datasets. The rejection rates of NaCl were ...

In this paper, electrocoagulation (EC) has been used for the removal of color from solution containing a disperse dye (Disperse blue 56) and a basic dye (Basic Yellow 28) in the same solution. Iron electrodes were arranged ...

In this study, the effect of domestic and industrial pollutants on the water quality of Mudurnu River was searched. Water and benthic macroinvertebrate samples were taken from five stations selected on Mudurnu River during ...
