Effect of wastewater treatment and environmental exposure on an enterovirus population

Odile Marie Clotilde Hervás de Nalda-Larivé

The presence of viruses in recreational water can present a risk for human health and wastewater effluent is a source of virus in the environment. Their persistence in the environment influences their probability to find a new host. Studies have shown that ...

On Approximations of Data-Driven Chance Constrained Programs over Wasserstein Balls

Daniel Kuhn, Zhi Chen, Wolfram Wiesemann

Distributionally robust chance constrained programs minimize a deterministic cost function subject to the satisfaction of one or more safety conditions with high probability, given that the probability distribution of the uncertain problem parameters affec ...

Effect of cetyltrimethylammonium chloride on various Escherichia coli strains and their inactivation kinetics by ozone and monochloramine

Urs von Gunten, Florian Frédéric Vincent Breider, Margaux Océane Voumard

Cethyltrimethylammonium chloride (CTMA) is one of the most used quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) in consumer products. CTMA and other QACs are only partially eliminated in municipal wastewater treatment and they can interact with bacteria in biological ...

Towards Interactions Through Differentiable-Non-Differentiable Scale Transitions In Scale Relativity Theory

Maria-Alexandra Paun

It is shown that, in the framework of Scale Relativity Theory, correlations of type informational entropy/cross entropy - probability density, in the description of the dynamics of any complex system, can be perceived as interactions. Explaining these inte ...

Co-culture of microalgae and bacteria for wastewater treatment

Thierry Mounir

To address the problem of insucient wastewater treatment and eutrophication of lakes and rivers, the symbiotic association of microalgae and bacteria has shown great potential and numerous advantages. First, co-cultures can exhibit ecient treatment of dome ...

Statistical Aspects of Wasserstein Distances

Victor Panaretos, Yoav Zemel

Wasserstein distances are metrics on probability distributions inspired by the problem of optimal mass transportation. Roughly speaking, they measure the minimal effort required to reconfigure the probability mass of one distribution in order to recover th ...

Assessment of the effects of wastewater treatment plant effluents on receiving streams using oligochaete communities of the porous matrix

Régis Lionel Vivien

Human activities can disturb the natural dynamics of exchanges between surface water and groundwater in rivers. Such exchanges contribute to the self-purification of the environment and an excess of infiltration can lead to contamination of groundwater. In ...

Efficient learning of smooth probability functions from Bernoulli tests with guarantees.

Volkan Cevher, Paul Thierry Yves Rolland, Ali Kavis

We study the fundamental problem of learning an unknown, smooth probability function via pointwise Bernoulli tests. We provide a scalable algorithm for efficiently solving this problem with rigorous guarantees. In particular, we prove the convergence rate ...

Fate of Cr(III) during ozonation of secondary municipal wastewater effluent

Urs von Gunten, Caroline Gachet Aquillon

In the present study, the fate of trivalent chromium (Cr(III)) during ozonation of ultrapurified water and wastewater effluent was investigated. In experiments conducted in phosphate buffered ultrapurified water, O3 alone in excess was inefficient to oxidi ...
