Solid lines show the correlation slope parameter; dashed lines the 95% confidence interval of the slope parameter. For correlations with identified outliers, standardized residual plots are included in Supplementary Figure S2. For correlations where log-normalization was used to correct for inconsistent...
13. Oil contaminated soil samples representing Indian oil refineries (I) were collected from Noonmati Oil Refinery in Guwahati and Barhola oilfields, both in Assam, India. Soil samples were collected in both sites from the surface (0–10 cm) and beneath...
a value of the tested parameter for control soil. P 0 : a value of the tested parameter for contaminated soil. D 0 : C 0 − P 0. The RS index takes values from − 1 to + 1. RS with a value of 1 means full resistance; 0—a 100% decrease, or a 100% increase of th...
Toxic substances have a deleterious effect on biological systems if accrued in ecosystems beyond their acceptable limit. A natural ecosystem can become contaminated due to the excessive release of toxic substances by various anthropogenic and natural activities, which necessitates rehabilitation of the envi...
It was found that all of the three algorithms perform similarly in terms of estimating the source parameter but with PSO being computationally superior. In [65] PSO was used for the purpose of optimization of hydraulic demands of a water distribution network. The particles which form a swarm ...
