CHARACTERIZATION OF FECES FOR DESCRIBING THE AEROBIC BIODEGRADATION OF FECES
Open accessAbstract
Characterization of organic matter attending biodegradability is a common practice when a bio-kinetic model is used to describe the reaction rates at which organic matter of wastewater is biodegraded. However, procedures for characterizing organic matter contained in feces have not been reported yet. This paper deals with the characterization of feces; two approaches for characterizing organic matter of feces are discussed based on physicochemical determinations and biological response during aerobic degradation. Application of those procedures leaded to characterization of feces in terms of chemical oxygen demand (COD) and mass units.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
