Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractELECTROLYSIS OF SWINE MANURE EFFLUENTS USING THREE DIFFERENT ELECTRODES Fe-Fe, Al-Al AND Fe-AlS. Rahman, M. S. BorhanSwine effluent with high organic strength need to be treated to make it suitable for applying to crop/pasture fields, or discharging to any waterways. Electrocoagulation is a relatively simpler and cheaper technique over biological and chemical treatment methods currently used to treat high-strength industrial and municipal wastewater. The performance of an electrocoagulation system mainly depends on the pH, Electrical Conductivity … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 9 Oct 2014 · 9,182 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Efficient Image Generation Algorithm Using Fractals and Chaos TheoryK. Thamizhchelvy, G. GeethaAn Efficient Image Generation Algorithm is proposed. It generates Message Authentication Image (MAI) by using Fractals and chaos theory. The fractal images are generated by using Iterated Function System (IFS) techniques. We implemented and generated the fractal images exploring the properties of chaos. Chaos is an unpredictable behavior arises in a dynamical system so that the future behavior is not … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 10 Sep 2014 · 7,432 accessesView PDFCite
