This thesis explored the relationship between using assistive technology (AT), and the self-esteem of students with learning disabilities (LD). A case study was created for each of two participants and were compared in a ...
Effects of feed and operating conditions on the performance and membrane fouling of a submerged anaerobic membrane bioreactor
(2012)
Anaerobic membrane bioreactors (AnMBRs) have been recognized as an effective method for enhanced wastewater treatment and re-use. However, the loss of the membrane performances due to membrane fouling remains a major ...
Positron/electron annihilation via the two-photon pathway
(2012-11-10)
When a positron/electron pair annihilate via the two-photon pathway, the emitted photons are momentum correlated. This correlation ensures that they move along a straight line path in opposite directions. An experiment ...
