THE SPECIFIC OBJECTIVE OF THIS STUDY IS TO EVALUATE THE TECHNICAL FEASIBILITY OF EMPLOYING A FIXED FILM ANAEROBIC DIGESTER SYSTEM TO ACHIEVE AN ADEQUATE DEGREE OF BIOLOGICAL SLUDGE DIGESTION WITH A RETENTION TIME WHICH IS ONE ORDER OFMAGNITUDE SHORTER THAN THAT OF THE CONVENTIONAL SUSPENDED- GROWTH DIGESTER. IN ORDER TO MAXIMIZE THE BIOLOGICAL REACTION RATE, THE INFLUENT SLUDGE WILL BE TREATED WIT ...

KNOWLEDGE SOFTWARE PROPOSES TO DETERMINE THE TECHNICAL FEASIBILITY OF USING A MICROCOMPUTER BASED EXPERT SYSTEM TO ASSIST EDUCATORS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF INSTRUCTIONAL OBJECTIVES. THIS EFFORT SUPPORTS THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION'S GOAL OF DEVELOPING METHODS TO SIMPLIFY AND IMPROVE COURSEWARE CREATION. WE PROPOSE TO DETERMINE FEASIBILITY BY DEVELOPING A MICROCOMPUTER BASED EXPERT SYSTEM. OUR PLAN I ...

PROVISION OF MEANINGFUL INSERVICE TRAINING FOR THE EDUCATORSOF HANDICAPPED CHILDREN IS INCREASINGLY COSTLY AND DIFFICULT TO ADMINISTER. OUTDATED DELIVERY MODELS ARE UNABLE TO PROVIDE FOCUSED CONTENT, AND ARE UNRESPONSIVE TO STAFF REQUIREMENTS. THIS PROPOSAL ADDRESSES THE NEED FOR BETTER INSERVICE TRAINING WITH A DECENTRALIZED, SELF-PACED MODEL THAT PROVIDES FOCUSED CONTENT WITH COMPUTERIZED REVIEW ...

PHASE I WILL DETERMINE THE FEASIBILITY OF A SIMPLE, COST EFFECTIVE PROCESS FOR THE ON-SITE REGENERATION AND REACTIVATION OF SPENT CARBONS. THE SPENT CARBONS MAY CONTAIN HAZARDOUS COMPONENTS, BOTH ORGANIC AND INORGANIC. THE REGENERATION IS ACCOMPLISHED WITH AN INNOVATIVE THERMAL PROCESS WHICH PRODUCES HIGHLY REACTIVE CHEMICAL SPECIES AT HIGH TEMPERATURE ON THE SURFACE OF THE CARBON MATRIX WHERE THE ...

Hexavalent chromium, Cr(VI), in the usual form of oxo species, is used in manyindustrial processes and products. As a consequence, Cr(VI)= containingcompounds are often found in wastewater and contaminated sites. Since Cr(VI) isconsidered highly toxic and carcinogenic, it is extremely important to have areliable, easy-to-use, sensitive monitor for determining Cr(VI) concentrationsin process, on ...

Not Available Vector waveform estimation theory implies that a GPS signal processor be constructed as a centralized estimator, in which inter-path statistical information is utilized in extracting state dynamics information from the spread spectrum signals. TISI has developed and implemented such a scheme, known as Integrated Demodulation Navigation (IDN), which addresses robust carrier phase tra ...
