The proposed touch-input system provides a convenient way for the students with hand impairment to write mathematics and has the potential to facilitate their mathematics learning. Implications for Rehabilitation Students with upper extremity disabilities often face barriers to learning mathematics which is largely based on handwriting. Conventional computer user interfaces are inefficient for them to input mathematics into computer. A touch-input system with context-specific and user-switchable keyboard layouts was designed to improve the efficiency of mathematics input. Experimental results and user feedback suggested that the system has the potential to facilitate mathematics learning for the students.
As water recycling becomes more widespread, brine disposal and the removal of nitrogen and phosphorus from a wastewater that is relatively high in chlorides have emerged as important areas of study and development. This paper discusses the use of biofilm processes for both nitrification and denitrification of saline wastewaters. Testing results from parallel pilot-scale submerged aerated filter (SAF) and moving bed bioreactors (MBBR) for nitrification followed by deep-bed denitrification filters on a municipal wastewater with an average chloride concentration of 6,000 mg/L are summarized. The lessons learned were applied to the full-scale design of a nitrification MBBR and of denitrification filters for treatment of reverse osmosis concentrate from a water recycling plant. The paper will discuss design considerations and the first year of full-scale operating data.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
