Abstract: In recent years, miniaturized particulate matter (PM) sensors have been studied intensively as an alternative device for air quality measurement due to their price advantage, moderate accuracy, and portable size. The ...

Abstract: Release of lead (Pb) in drinking water from lead service lines has been extensively studied in single pipes, and the importance of water chemistry has been reported. However, the impact of variations in water chemistry ...

Abstract: Smart water infrastructures are prone to cyber-physical attacks that can disrupt their operations or damage their assets. An algorithm was developed to identify suspicious behaviors in the different cyber-physical components ...

Abstract: A novel dimensionless formulation for water flow in two-dimensional variably saturated media is presented. It shows that scaling physical systems requires conservation of the ratio between capillary forces and gravity ...

Abstract: Steady‐state substrate utilization in biofilms has traditionally been modeled by coupling Fickian diffusion with Monod reaction kinetics. An inherent assumption in most of the previous models was that the pH remains constant ...

Abstract: Biofiltration of a gaseous stream contaminated with benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and the three xylene (BTEX) compounds was evaluated in this study. Experimental investigations were conducted on a pilot-scale biofilter ...
