During the long-distance pressure transportation of sewage, the interior of a rising main tends to become anaerobic, thereby producing a large amount of hydrogen sulphide at manholes and terminals. High concentrations of hydrogen sulphide have become a serious environmental and maintenance problem. In order to prevent the production of hydrogen sulphide in rising mains, the City of Kobe (in Japan) introduced a system to inject air directly into the main. This paper describes the results of studies on the effect of air injection on hydrogen sulphide inhibition and the relationship between water quality and the amount of air injected. 相似文献
Scientists from research institutions in the United States of America and Japan attended a USA Department of Energy sponsored joint international workshop on the subject of Compact Toroids (CT) in Santa Fe, NM, USA in September 2004. We outline here a summary of the topics that were discussed, some of the implications, and new directions that are likely to follow from this research. Experimental, theoretical and computational results were presented. The experimental devices and concepts, along with the theory and computational models comprise investigations of fundamental plasma physics, fusion science, and approaches to fusion energy that require magnetized plasmas. 相似文献
Implementation techniques for relational database management systems (DBMSs) have proven their efficiency and robustness in many existing systems. However, many of these concepts and mechanisms cannot be used when implementing a native XML DBMS (XDBMS) because of substantial differences in the processing properties of natively stored XML documents as compared to relational tables. Therefore, we have to develop new and appropriate techniques with ACID transaction guarantees tailored to the processing characteristics of tree documents and the operations on them.
For this reason, we want to provide for an efficient infrastructure of XDBMSs consisting of tree node addressing and indexing together with fine-grained locking of tree nodes. In this respect, our prime and novel contribution is to reveal the potential of our prefix-based node labeling called DeweyIDs supporting record addressing, indexing, and locking protocols. In this paper, we first sketch our version of prefix-based node labeling and summarize a quantitative study on them. An overview of our layered XDBMS architecture indicates the concepts and functionalities to be reused from relational DBMS implementations. The core part of the paper describes the infrastructural services for XML document storage with compressed DeweyIDs, the principles and methods for navigational and declarative processing of queries, as well as the lock modes and protocols to enable efficient collaboration. Selected empirical experiments evaluate the XTC system performance and support our system assessment. 相似文献
