In the work, the main aim was to obtain biogas, made from at least 50% methane, and a digestate that can be used in the field of agronomy, from the anaerobic digestion of the substrates. The tests were carried out by digesting different mixtures of the two-phase pomace, mulberry leaves and mud civil wastewater (pre-digested) in a batch system and in anaerobic mesophilic conditions (35 ~C). The substrates were properly homogenized in order to obtain mixtures of known and uniform composition. The initial and final STi (Total Solids) and initial SVi (Volatile Solids), the concentration of chemical oxygen demand and total phenols were measured and the process yield (m3/t SV) was quantified with standard procedure. The objectives of the study were the analysis of microbial biodiversity developed during fermentation of mixtures based products and the microbial communities corresponding to Eubacteria, Archaea and Fungiwas analyzed. The suitability of the digestate for agronomical use was evaluated by estimating pathogens bacteria that may be present and by index of inhibition of plant organisms model.展开更多

This model has been used in a Kalman filter to account for the stochastic behavior of SA dithering in estimating satellite clock information in wide area dif- ferential GPS. We have obtained fifteen percent improvement in the user positioning using the correlation information on the satellite clock information in a Kalman filter, when comparing the results obtained using a regular least square estimation.展开更多

Current methods of determining growth characteristics of microbes involve subjective graphical interpretations of linearized logarithmic data. Reducing error in logistical data decreases disparity between graphical and analytical predictions of microbial characteristics. In this study, a method has been developed to calculate the kinetics of microbial characteristics utilizing a modified Maclaurin series. Convergence of this series approaches the true kinetic value of microbial characteristics to include specific growth rates. In this research, a modified Maclaurin series is used to evaluate microbial kinetics in comparison to graphical determinations.展开更多
