Recycling copper from waste copper wire using an applied voltage
We have found a very easy, low-cost, highly-efficient technique for recycling copper (Cu) materials from polymer-coated waste Cu wire (WCW) by applying voltages using an induction-heating furnace. Voltages ran...

Phytoplankton estimation using plant primary production rates in streams
A new approach is proposed to simulate the daily variation of chlorophyll a in one-dimensional streams. This approach uses the plant primary production rate to quantify the phytoplankton growth rate. The delta me...
