The influence of aeration scheme and aeration rate on the permeate flux for wastewater treatment using membrane bioreactors: Experimental and artificial neural network modeling by Jawad, Jasir

“…The experimental data were used to develop an artificial neural network (ANN) model, which showed excellent agreement (R2 = 0.9963) with the data. The average normalized flux decreased as the MLSS concentration increased from 5 to 15 g/L and increased as the aeration rate increased from 0.5 to 1.5 LPM. …”

Moderate salinity stimulates growth and photosynthesis of Phragmites karka by water relations and tissue specific ion regulation by Abideen, Zainul

“…Higher K+ selectivity and Na+ exclusion from shoots improved photosynthesis and growth under moderately saline conditions. Decreased growth in 300mM NaCl could be attributed to leaf tissue dehydration and turgor loss leading to stomatal closure and decreased CO2 absorption. …”
