Soil in the study area were also assessed for contamination factors, degree of contamination, modified degree of contamination and the pollution load index, and the result are given in Table 5.
The interpretation of the result was made based on descriptive scales developed by Hakanson (1980) and Abrahim and Parker (2008) as given in Tables 6 and 7. Table 5 Contamination factors, degree of contamination, modified degree of contamination and pollution load index of the five elements studied within study area Sample no.
The newly formed chain architecture increased the thermostability of CPI as evaluated by TGA; furthermore, the thermostability increased with the increase in cross-linking degree of the modified CPI films.
However, despite excluding the individuals with small degree of modifications, the percentage of modified individuals reached 9.7% (29 severely modified individuals out of 300 caught) in 2003.
The degree of modification and the distribution of modified groups within the films were determined using Raman spectroscopy and FTIR-ATR.
This paper proposes a two degrees of freedom modified Smith predictor scheme for controlling the outlet temperature uniformity of a crude oil preheating furnace.
Heterogeneity of covariance was tested with the Mauchly sphericity test and degrees of freedom modified using the Greenhouse Geisser adjustment, where appropriate.
Herein we report the synthesis of mannose derivatives with one or two hydrophobic chains of different length, designed with the purpose of modifying the degree of exposure of the mannose when they were incorporated into liposomes.
It managed to operate with some degree of independence under modified government sponsorship for nearly a century and a half.
Common pollution indices, such as Contamination factor (Cf), degree of contamination (Cd), modified contamination degree (mCd), potential ecological risk index (RI) and metal pollution index (MPI), were used for assessing contamination status.
