A combined reaction, consisting of granular activated carbon (GAC) adsorption and catalytic
oxidation, has been proposed to improve the removal efficiencies of formaldehyde, one of …

In the modern era where highly-commodified cultural products compete heavily for mass
consumption, finding the principles behind the complex process of how successful, “hit” …

The yeast strain Candida tropicalis was used for the biodegradation of gaseous toluene.
Toluene was effectively treated by a liquid culture of C. tropicalis in a bubble-column bioreactor, …

Air streams commonly emitted from industrial sources generally contain various mixtures of
volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and these complex mixtures can present challenges …

Competition is ubiquitous in many complex biological, social, and technological systems,
playing an integral role in the evolutionary dynamics of the systems. It is often useful to …

A two-stage biofilter was constructed and utilized to determine the removal efficiency when
treating dynamic loading of a mixture of odorous compounds including benzene, toluene, p-…

An electrolytic oxidation process was applied to remove odorous compounds from non-point
odor sources including wastewater pipelines and manholes. In this study, a distance …

Cultural creations such as movies can be said to be the products of the times, influenced by
successful predecessors and in turn influencing those that come afterwards. In this work we …

Silver as a metal catalyst has been used to remove odorous compounds. In this study, silver
particles in nano sizes ($5 {\sim} 30nm $) were prepared on the surface of $ NaHCO_3 $, …

The profound impact of Darwin's theory of evolution on biology has led to the acceptance of
the theory in many complex systems that lie well beyond its original domain. Culture is one …
