An efficient failure-resilient mutual exclusion algorithm for distributed systems leveraging a novel zero-message overlay structure by Mouna Rabhi (17086969)

“…., node queue dimension, number of exchanged messages, and number of disconnected nodes) indicate a graceful degradation in performance with decreasing number of functioning nodes. For instance, for 4,096 nodes organized in a logical tree of arity 4 and with 4 physical nodes for logical node, a negligible number of nodes is disconnected from the tree after 250 epochs when the per-node per-epoch failure probability is p f ≤ 0 . 0008 . …”

Detailed organic characterization of process water to evaluate reverse osmosis membrane fouling in industrial wastewater treatment by Minier-Matar, Joel

“…Moreover, LC-OCD analysis showed that the ACF inlet has a TOC concentration of approximately 3.06 mg/L; of those 1.29 mg/L (42 %) are hydrophobic, and 1.77 mg/L (58 %) are hydrophilic. After ACF treatment, the hydrophobic organics decreased to 0.65 mg/L, revealing that the ACF is removing >50 % of hydrophobic organics which are likely responsible for membrane fouling. …”
