Establishment of microbial model communities capable of removing trace organic chemicals for biotransformation mechanisms research
Abstract Background Removal of trace organic chemicals (TOrCs) in aquatic Shorts environments has been intensively studied.Some members of natural microbial communities play a vital role in transforming chemical contaminants, however, complex microbial interactions impede us from gaining adequate understanding of TOrC biotransformation mechanisms.T
Dynamic routing for efficient waste collection in resource constrained societies
Abstract Waste collection in developing nations faces multi-fold Shorts challenges, such as resource constraints and real-time changes in waste values, while finding the optimal routes.This paper attempts to address these challenges by modeling real-time waste values in smart bins and Collection Vehicles (CV).Further, waste value prioritized routes

A New Seeded Region Growing Technique for Retinal Blood Vessels Extraction
Distribution of retinal blood vessels (RBVs) in retinal images has an important role in the prevention, diagnosis, monitoring and treatment of diseases, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or heart disease.Therefore, detection of the exact location of RBVs is very important for Ophthalmologists.One of the frequently used techniques for extractio
