Studies were undertaken of the adsorption of chlorinated phenols from aqueous solution on granular activated carbon (Filtrasorb-400, 30x40 mesh). Single-component equilibrium adsorption data on the eight compounds in two concentration ranges at pH 7.0 fit the Langmuir equation better than the Freundlich equation. The adsorptive capacities at pH 7.0 increase...
A series of TiNbHf alloys ranging from 0-40 atomic %
Nb and 0-15 atomic % Hf were evaluated to investigate
low-elastic modulus phenomena which occur in this ternary
system. The desirability of utilizing corrosion-resistant, biocompatible alloys with elastic modulus values
approaching that of human bone for medical prosthetic
implants provides...
In real-time control systems, the value of a control decision depends not
only on the correctness of the decision but also on the time when that decision
is available. Recent work in real-time decision making has used machine learning
techniques to automatically construct reactive controllers, that is, controllers
with little...
