Assume a factory releases a continuous flow of wastewater into a local stream, resulting in an in-stream carcinogen concentratio

n of 0.72 mg/L just below the outfall. Suppose this carcinogen has an oral potency factor of 0.45 (mg/kg-day)-1 and that it is degradable with a reaction rate coefficient k of 0.23/day. To keep the problem simple, assume that the stream is uniform in cross section, flowing at the rate of 2 mph, and that there is no other sources or sinks for this carcinogen. At a distance of 150 miles downstream, a town uses this stream as is only source of water. Estimate the individual residential lifetime cancer risk caused by drinking this water.

Answer:

Calculate the individual residential lifetime cancer risk.  

Risk = Potential factor x CDI  …… (1)

Calculate the value of C  

C =  C_{o} * e^{-kt}

t = d / v

t = 150 miles / 2 mile per hrs.

t = 75 hrs

t = 75/24

t = 3.13 days

Substitute the obtained value in (2).

C = C_{o} * e^{-kt}

C = 0.72 x e^(-0.1*3.13)

C = 0.72 x 0.7313  

C = 0.526 mg/L

Substitute the obtained value in (1).

Risk = Potential factor x CDI

Risk = 0.30kg.d/mg x 0.526mg/L x 2L/d x 350day/365days

Risk = 0.3026

6. Construct a neural network that computes the XOR function of two inputs. Make sure to specify what sort of units you are usin
IgorC [24]

Answer:

Figure 1 shows the neural network that computes the XOR of two inputs.

Two Input unit: X₁ and X₂

One hidden layer with two hidden units: h₁ and h₂

Two Weights for hidden unit 1 = 20, 20

Bias for hidden unit 1 = -10

Two Weights for hidden unit 2 = -20, -20

Bias for hidden unit 2 = 30

Weights for output layer = 20, 20

Bias for output layer = -30

Activation function = sigmoid (σ)

Output at hidden unit and at the output unit Y is shown in Table attached in Fig 2

A technique for resolving complex repetitive waveforms into sine or cosine waves and a DC component is known as:
tatiyna

Answer:

(A) Fourier Analysis

Explanation:

Fourier Analysis  

It is the form of study of the way a general functions can be represented via the sum of the simple trigonometric functions .

It is named after Joseph Fourier , who represented a function as a sum of its trigonometric functions and it simplifies the study of the heat transfer .

Hence ,  

The technique for resolving the complex repetitive waveforms into the sine or the cosine waves and the DC component is known as the Fourier Analysis .

Serratia marcescens bacteria are used for the production of threonine. The maximum specific oxygen uptake rate of S. marcescens
Sati [7]

Answer:

The rate of cell metabolism is limited by mass transfer since the value of maximum cell concentration obtained (38 g/l) is lower than 50 g l-1, the value planed.

Explanation:

                                                     Data

<u>kLa</u> = 0.17/s

<u>Solubility of oxygen</u> =  8 × 10^-3 kg / m^3

<u>The maximum specific oxygen uptake rate </u>= 4 mmol O2 / g h.

<u>Concentration of oxygen</u> =  0.5 × 10^-3 kg/ m^3

<u>**The maximum cell density</u> = 50 g/l

___________________

The calculated maximum cell concentration:

xmax=  kLa · CAL*/ qo

CAL* is the solubility of oxygen in the broth and qo is the specific oxygen uptake rate

Replacing the data given

xmax= ( 0.17/s ) ·   (8 × 10^-3 kg / m^3)  /  4 mmol O2 / g h

4 mmol O2 / g h  to kg O2/ g s

4 \frac{mmol}{gh} \frac{1 gmol}{1000mmol}\frac{1h}{3600s}\frac{32 g}{gmol} \frac{1Kg}{1000g}

= 3.56 x 10^-3 kg O2/ g s

So then,

xmax= ( 0.17/s ) ·   (8 × 10^-3 kg / m^3)  / 3.56 x 10^-3 o kg O2/ g s

xmax= 3. 8 x 10^4 g/ m^3   = 38 g/l

Chemical compounds that are created by a string or smaller repeating units are
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

The correct approach will be "Polymer".

Explanation:

  • A polymer, because it has a very broad molecular structure, seems to be a class or kind of organic solid. It is indeed a material consisting of long sequences, or monomers, of simplified components.
  • The existence of a large number of monomers which have been mentioned several times seems to be the principal design characteristic of polymeric materials.

This test should be performed on all cord sets, receptacles that aren't part of a building or structure's permanent wiring, and
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

A continuity test

Explanation:

A continuity test is used to verified that current will flow in an electrical circuit, it performed by placing a small voltage across the chosen path. continuity test ensure that the equipment grounding conductor is electrically continuous and this test is perform on all the cord sets, receptacles that aren't part of a building or structure's permanent wiring, and cord-and-plug connected equipment required to be grounded. example of equipment used in testing current flow in continuity test are Analog multi-meter, voltage/continuity tester etc.

Continuity test and terminal connection test are the two test required by OSHA on all electrical equipment
