A reduced order dynamic model for an activated sludge process performing carbonaceous removal, nitrification, and denitrification is proposed. Based on directly measurable real time data - by methods available today - all model parameters are identified on-line. A simplified extended Kalman filter is used for the actual identification. Verification of the results is based on computer simulations o
The aim of this work was to investigate the potential of a selection of household salts (NaCl) as a retrospective dosemeter for ionising radiation using optically stimulated luminescence (OSL). The OSL-response of five brands of salt to an absorbed dose in the range from 1 mGy to 9 Gy was investigated using a Risø TL/OSL-15 reader and a (60)Co beam, allowing low dose-rate irradiations. The salt wa

The article begins from critical accounts addressing the crisis of politics and citizenship today, to study the civic potential that several media and social scholars view in informal practices that include the usage of new media and information and communication technologies. On one hand, new media and ICT are noted to empower individual users and groups, to provide spaces of voice and debate and
The numerical computation of expectations for (nearly) singular multivariate normal distribution is a difficult problem, which frequently occurs in widely varying statistical contexts. In this article we discuss several strategies to improve the algorithm proposed by Genz and Kwong (2000) when either a moderate accuracy is requested, the correlation structure is strong, and, most importantly, the
Household food insecurity (HFI) is insufficient access to nutritionally safe and adequate foods to meet the dietary needs for an active and healthy life. We examined the prevalence and determinants of HFI in Bangladeshi children under five with diarrhoea.
