Advances in the adsorptive particulate flotation process
(09/18/2003)
The removal of contaminants from liquid effluents by the adsorptive particulate flotation (APF) process, including new adsorbents and flotation devices, are reported. Herein, contaminants are adsorbed (and/or absorbed) ...
Displays and Photonics Application Group Activities
(06/01/2004)
Displays and Photonics Application Group (GDAF) is devoted to design and development of passive and active devices and sensors for their applications in WDM networks, CWDM, POF, and RF over fiber networks using different ...
From implicit to touching interaction: RFID and NFC approaches
(05/25/2008)
Intelligent environments need interactions capable of detecting users and providing them with goodquality contextual information. In this sense we adapt technologies identifying and locating people adjusting their requirements. ...
Design and tolerance analysis of a router with an amplified resonator and Bragg gratings
(04/20/2000)
A novel ring resonator configuration with Bragg gratings is presented. The stability of this configuration is studied by a z-transform technique. A router design with a FWHM of 17 MHz, a -40-dB rejection ratio, and a 15-dB ...
Climate change and environmental planning: Working to build community resilience and adaptive capacity in Washington State, USA
(07/01/2009)
This work focuses on the efforts being made by King County, Washington to respond to the challenges of global climate change, concentrating on both mitigation and adaptation. King County is a leader in the United States ...
Modeling Competitive Cation Exchange of Aromatic Amines in Water-Saturated Soils
(06/01/2001)
Competitive association to several components of soil through ion exchange processes influences the fate of organic cations in the environment. To examine these processes, the distributions of aniline and 1-aminonaphthalene ...
Role of pH in partitioning and cation exchange of aromatic amines on water-saturated soils
(08/04/2001)
Predicting the reversible interactions between aromatic amines and soil is essential for assessing the mobility, bioavailability and exposure from contaminated sites. Reversible sorption mechanisms of aniline and α-naphthylamine ...
High-Resolution Indirect Feet–Ground Interaction Measurement for Hydraulic-Legged Robots
(10/01/2009)
Feet-ground interactions influence the legged robot's stability. In this paper, a high-resolution indirect force measurement for hydraulic-legged robots is presented. The use of pressure transducers placed at one or both ...
Identification technologies to support Alzheimer contexts
(07/16/2008)
Alzheimer's disease makes great demands on care by assistants, due to the fact that they cannot distract their attention from patients while they are at the same time managing records. For that reason, technologies to ...
