A Procedure For Optimizing Tactical Response In Oil Spill Clean Up Operations
"... The Tactical Decision Problem (TDP) associated with oil spill clean up operations allocates available components to compose response systems so that the clean up requirement for each time period over the entire planning horizon is met. The objective is to minimize total response time to allow for th ..."

Prescribing Tactical Response For Oil Spill Clean Up Operations
- Management Science
, 1996

The Tactical Decision Problem (TDP) associated with oil spill clean up operations prescribes the time-phased allocation of available components over the planning horizon so that the clean up requirement at each critical time point is met. The objective is to minimize response time to allow for the m ..."

Heavy Metals Resistant Rotifers from a Chromium Contaminated Wastewater can Help in Environmental Clean-up,
- Pakistan J. Zool.,
, 2008
"... in metal containing media by Notommata copeus was 82%, 61% and 97%, respectively after two days of inoculation and 96%, 81% and 99% after 8 days. The resistance of rotifers against heavy metals and their uptake ability can be exploited for metal detoxification and environmental clean-up operations. ..."

Document Image Clean-Up And Binarization
- In Proc. SPIE Symposium on Electronic Imaging
, 1998
"... Image binarization is a difficult task for documents with text over textured or shaded backgrounds, poor contrast, and/or considerable noise. Current optical character recognition (OCR) and document analysis technology do not handle such documents well. We have developed a simple yet effective algor ..."

algorithm for document image clean-up and binarization. The algorithm consists of two basic steps. In the first step, the input image is smoothed using a low-pass (Gaussian) filter. The smoothing operation enhances the text relative to any background texture. This is because background texture normally has
Clean-up of the Grasbrook Gasworks in Hamburg’s
"... In HafenCity, Hamburg’s city development project, the Overseas Quarter is to be realised by 2009 as the largest and most important measure and will cover a surface area of approximately 10 hectares. Here, covering an area of nearly 7 hectares, are the former premises of the oldest gasworks in Hambur ..."

in Hamburg. The Grasbrook Gasworks was built in 1844 (!) and operated up until 1976 with many modifications. Now this area is to be cleaned up by means of soil excavation (approx. 195,000 m3). Here, there are a multitude of various boundary conditions that must be observed.
Assessment Of Beneficiation Routes Of Tantalite Ores From Key Locations In Nigeria
"... The beneficiation methods for some tantalite ores from selected deposits in Nigeria have been assessed through mineralogical and compositional analyses of the ores. Tantalite ores obtained from eight different well-known locations of the mineral in the country were analyzed with 109Cd excitation sou ..."

The Volgoneft-248 Oil Spill in the Marmara Sea
"... On December 29th, 1999, oil tanker Volgoneft-248, carrying over 4,000 tons of heavy fuel oil, broke into two pieces off the southern coast of Istanbul in the Marmara Sea. While the bow section sank at 30 meters of water, the stern was driven aground near the Menekşe Shores of Istanbul. Approximately ..."
Abstract
- Add to MetaCart
. Approximately 1,300 tons of oil were initially spilt to the sea, affecting more than five kilometers of shoreline. Buildings, roads, fishing ports and coastal structures located in the area were heavily affected from the oil pollution. Clean-up operations at the shore continued for more than four months. Field
Impacts of Motor Vehicle Operation on Water Quality in the United States- Clean-up Costs and Policies
"... This paper investigates the costs of controlling some of the environmental impacts of motor vehicle transportation on groundwater and on surface waters. We estimate that annualized costs of cleaning-up leaking underground storage tanks range from $0.8 billion to $2.1 billion per year over ten years. ..."
