Removal of ciprofloxacin by anaerobic membrane bioreactor (AnMBR) and post-treatment of AnMBR effluent by Mai, Do Thi

“…However, there is a lack of data available in the literature on how effective AnMBRs are in removing antibiotics, as well as the effect antibiotics have on anaerobic digesters in general, and on the AnMBR specifically. Hence, the overall aim of this work was to explore the effect of CIP on the operation of an anaerobic batch reactor and AnMBR, and then investigate the mechanisms of CIP removal and the post-treatment of AnMBR effluent by adsorption, with the main aim of removing soluble microbial products (SMPs) and CIP. …”

Topics in Bayesian machine learning for finance by Spears, T

“…We show a relevant, modern case of incorporating machine learning model-derived view and uncertainty estimates, and the impact on portfolio allocation, with an example subsuming Arbitrage Pricing Theory. Hence we show the value of the Black-Litterman model in combination with information fusion and artificial intelligence-grounded prediction methods.…”

Modulation and control strategies for neutral-point-clamped converters by Beniwal, Neha

“…For bipolar dc-bus applications of NPC converters like feeding multiterminal dc-loads, back-to-back systems and grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) systems, the main challenge is to generate the required nonzero average NP current which, if not compensated, causes the CVs to diverge and hence destabilizes the converter. In order to address this issue, a dual-mode modulation technique is proposed which utilizes the inherent capability of the NPC converter to generate the required average NP current and does not employ any additional hardware. …”

Self-healing cementitious composites by encapsulation techniques by Feng, Jianhang

“…In the meanwhile, immobilized bacterial spores could revive then present high urease activities. Hence, after cracking of cementitious composites, immobilized endospores induced more calcium carbonate, which led to higher crack width reductions, more recovery in compressive strength and restoration in thermal conductivity, which could be associated with the precipitation at expanded graphite/cement matrix interfaces. …”

An evidence-based serious game app for public education on antibiotic use and resistance: randomized controlled trial by Huang, Zhilian, Ow, Jing Teng, Tang, Wern Ee, Chow, Angela

“…Serious games, any form of games that serve a greater purpose other than entertainment, could augment public education above ongoing health promotion efforts. Hence, we developed an evidence-based educational serious game app—SteWARdS Antibiotic Defence—to educate players on good antibiotic use practices and AMR through a game quest comprising 3 minigames and interaction with the nonplayer characters. …”
