The photodegradation rate of a perylene dye (Lumogen F Yellow 083) in methyl isobutyrate was found to increase with ketone concentration for two different ketones. Of the ketones employed, methyl pyruvate, an impurity in ...

A pilot-scale study of pharmaceutical wastewater treatment by a membrane bioreactor (MBR) process in southern Taiwan is presented in this paper. A 10 m3/day capacity MBR plant consisting of an aeration tank and a membrane ...

The application of semiconductor photocatalysis in treating wastewater has attracted growing interest due to its complete mineralisation of organic matter. Furthermore, coupling of photocatalytic process with microfiltration ...

The utilisation of industrial waste products as supplementary cementitious materials to produce blended Portland cement has increased worldwide in recent years. This study aims to investigate physical and mechanisal ...

This paper details two parallel physical model studies associated with the preliminary design for the proposed Eidsvold Weir project on the Burnett River in Queensland. The project incorporates a fishway to facilitate the ...

In this study, different pretreatment methods such as microfiltration (MF), ultrafiltration (UF), nanofiltration (NF), powdered activated carbon (PAC) adsorption and ferric chloride (FeCl3) flocculation were evaluated in ...

Small-sided games (SSGs) are played on reduced pitch areas, often using modified rules and involving a smaller number of players than traditional football. These games are less structured than traditional fitness training ...

The effect of corbels on the state of continuity in timber bridges is investigated. Full-scale twospan beams with corbels were erected in the Structures Laboratory at UTS using laminated veneer lumber (LVL) elements for ...

Global warming presents an ever-challenging battle to humankind, as emissions arising from industrially produced gteenhouse gases are predicted to alter the long-term climatic patterns of earth. Harmful environmental ...
