Insulator-based dielectrophoresis for fouling suppression in submerged membranes bioreactors: Impact of insulators shape and dimensions
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
The application of insulator-based dielectrophoresis (iDEP) has the potential to enhance membrane fouling suppression in submerged membrane bioreactors without extra energy consumption. In this study, the effect of the ...
A hybrid forward osmosis/reverse osmosis process for the supply of fertilizing solution from treated wastewater
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
This work investigates the application of a hybrid system that combines forward osmosis (FO) and reverse osmosis (RO) processes for the supply of a fertilizing solution that could be used directly for irrigation purposes. ...
Reveal the hidden layer via entity embedding in traffic prediction
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
The neural network-based models have been widely used in traffic prediction. They have improved accuracy and efficiency in traffic flow, speed, passenger flow, and delay. Many variables are considered to predict traffic ...
Using pavements to generate electricity

Optimal dilation time for combined small endoscopic sphincterotomy and balloon dilation for common bile duct stones: a multicentre, single-blinded, randomised controlled trial
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
Background
Endoscopic sphincterotomy is the established treatment for common bile duct stones. Balloon dilation offers an alternative. Prolonged dilation (300 s) with a 10 mm diameter balloon decreases the occurrence of ...
