Abstract Over the recent years, ever-increasing population growth and higher wastewater production has been a challenge for decentralized wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs).In addition, sludge treatment due to high cost for equipment and place make authorities to find a sustainable approach in both of economical and technical perspectives.One of t
In this article, we extend our previously suggested categorization of metaphors to literal statements, and categorize metaphorical and literal statements into four pairs of corresponding metaphorical and literal statements: (1) motion-based metaphorical/literal statements; (2) static space-based metaphorical/literal statements; (3) static object-ba
Abstract Background Multi-modal therapy has attracted increasing attention as it provides enhanced effectiveness and potential stimulation of the immune community.However, low accumulation at the tumor sites and quick immune clearance of the anti-tumor agents are still insurmountable challenges.Hypothetically, cancer cell membrane (CCM) can homolog
A model of ion temperature anisotropy for 2D plasma transport in the scrape-off layer (SOL) of tokamaks is described and implemented in the UEDGE fluid transport code.Two ion energy equations are used to describe the evolution of the separate parallel and perpendicular ion temperatures.The temperature anisotropy generates viscous forces in both Pre
