Abstract: Long regeneration time and substantial water usage in desorption cycles impose potential barriers for practical applications of capacitive deionization (CDI). In this research, a single-pass continuous-flow CDI cell was ...

Abstract: In the present paper, a methodology is described for the integrated thermal analysis of a laminar natural convection air cooled nonventilated electronic system. This approach is illustrated by ...

Abstract: The paper investigates the independent joint control of flexible manipulators which are acted upon by gravity. Both finite-dimensional coordinates, and infinite-dimensional, spatially varying, ...

Abstract: This paper concerns techniques of systems analysis and operations research used to select the optimal—or most appropriate—wastewater treatment in the developing world. Existing treatment optimization models apply techniques ...

Abstract: This paper describes the testing of a wastewater treatment optimization model for the developing world (described by Ellis and Tang in 1991) in applications to four existing wastewater treatment units (in Puchong, Malaysia; ...

Abstract: Client satisfaction, as a very important total quality management philosophy, lately has been incorporated in the 2000 edition of the ISO 9000 quality management system. Senior construction professionals in Hong Kong were ...

Abstract: Newly developed approaches for construction simulation have been used to model the one-plant-multisite ready mixed concrete (RMC) production system, validated by real-life operations data in Hong Kong.

Abstract: Design is one of the most important aspects in the engineering project cycle. To improve the quality of engineering consulting firms, various quality techniques and practices have been proposed by researchers. Most researchers ...

Abstract: Crumb rubber media have been beneficially invented for ballast water and tertiary wastewater treatment. There is a critical need for precise prediction of clean-bed head loss for engineering design purposes. Pilot crumb ...
