Slow Sand Filtration
This report, Slow Sand Filtration, was prepared by the Task Committee on Slow Sand Filtration of the Water Supply Committee of the Environmental...

A Low Pass Filter for Incident Detection
A new algorithm for automatic incident detection was developed after observing that existing algorithm performance can improve if detector data are filtered before use. The new algorithm...

Development of Method for Measuring Near-Surface Turbulence
New techniques for tracking particles in fluid are presented. A method to make micro-capsules which are filled with pure water and covered with a thin film of polystyrene is developed....

Adaptive Parameter Estimation for Multisite Streamflow Forecasting
An adaptive procedure for parameter identification and noise statistics estimation for multisite streamflow forecasting is presented in this work. The model is a multivariate ARMAX model,...

Identification of Power Spectra—Linear and Nonlinear Approaches
Linear dynamical filter systems driven by white noise can be used for the generation of stationary and Gaussian processes. A linear approximation method proposed by W. Wedig is presented...

Identification of Bilinear Severely Hysteretic Systems
An identification method is investigated on bilinear severely hysteretic systems subjected to a strong earthquake motion by means of the Extended Kalman Filter incorporated with a weighted...

Parameter Identification and State Estimation of Structure Models in Shaking Table Test
In this paper physical parameters and inner states of structure can be estimated from the input and responses in shaking table test by means of Extended Kalman Filter (SIEKA). Comparing...

Damage Assessment of Bridge Structures by System Identification
A method for the damage estimation of bridge structures under seismic ground excitation is developed based on system identification approach. The dynamic behavior of a damaged structure...

O2 Limitations in CH4 and NH4+ Utilizing Biofilms

Two-Dimensional Modeling of Dewatering in a Belt Filter Press

Particle Size and Filter Performance: Model Studies

Evaluation of Vegetative Filter Strips as a Management Practice for Non-point Source Pollution

Artificial Recharge in the Southern Ogallala—Experiences with Playa Lake Water and Filter Underdrains
Ground water in southern portions of the Ogallala Aquifer has declined significantly over the past several years. Attempts to recharge playa water in the past have failed due to the clogging...

The Influence of Uniformity on Riprap Stability
Studies have shown that size uniformity influences the stability of riprap. The ratio of fractional sizes of the riprap mixture, D60/D10,...

Anaerobic Filter Treatment of Septic Tank Effluent at Low Temperatures

Reliable Displacements from Integrated Quick-Release Accelerograms
A new baseline correction method has been developed which allows accelerograms collected during quick-release tests of full scale structures to be doubly integrated to displacements. The...

Design and Construction of Slow Sand Filters
The belief that large area requirements are necessary is based on old concepts and contemporary engineering designs that overstate area requirements. Large area requirements result from...

Comparison of Preozonation and Prechlorination in the Treatment of Several Raw Water Supplies
Bench scale testing of 18 raw water supplies from various locations throughout the eastern United States was conducted to evaluate their susceptibility to ozonation, and to compare preozonation/conventional...

Biological Phosphorus Removal Using a Fixed and Suspended Growth Combination: A First Year Appraisal
As an alternative to the activated sludge process for biological phosphorus removal, this paper discusses an alternative which avoids high costs of air supply and large suspended growth...

Peat Filtration for Oil Removal
An investigation was carried out to assess the potential of horticultural peat produced in Saskatchewan as a filter medium in treating five oil-in-water emulsions (standard mineral oil,...
