Treatment and desalination of domestic wastewater for water reuse in a four-chamber microbial desalination cell by Lu, Yaobin

“…Several strategies such as controlling catholyte pH, increasing influent COD concentration, adopting the batch mode, applying external voltage, and increasing the alkalinity of wastewater were investigated for improving the SMDC performance. Under a condition of 0.4 V external voltage, anolyte pH adjustment, and a batch mode, the SMDC decreased the wastewater salinity from 1.45 to below 0.75 mS cm−1, which met the salinity standard of wastewater for irrigation. …”

GetJacobianInv.m from Dynamics and locomotion of flexible foils in a frictional environment. by Xiaolin Wang (303612)

“…When the foil is oscillated by heaving at one end but is not free to locomote, the dynamics change from periodic to non-periodic and chaotic as the heaving amplitude increases or the bending rigidity decreases. For friction coefficients lying in a certain range, the transition passes through a sequence of <i>N</i>-periodic and asymmetric states before reaching chaotic dynamics. …”
