Studies on Filtration of Fermentation Wastewater Using Sand- Carbon Filter George Munyori, Gbekeloluwa Oguntimein Department of Civil Engineering, Morgan State UniversityAbstractBiofuels production from cellulosic materials as carbohydrate source is being investigated as oneof the alternatives to the solution of the energy problem. One of the potential processes involvessimultaneous hydrolysis and fermentation. The wastewater from such process must be treatedbefore being released to the environment. In order to make the process even more economicaland environmentally friendly, the wastewater needs to be treated and recycled. This study isinvestigating

This tool thus has made research process much more efficient, accurate,and productive.IntroductionThe primary objective of presented work was to develop a speech recognition engine - analysisand testing environment in MATLAB. The problem encountered when working with speechrecognition projects is the fact that the processed data comes in the form of a large collection ofvectors (e.g., matrix) that typically represent energies of a speech sounds at various frequencybands [1]. Developed testing utility is extremely useful because it provides visual representationof various complex parameters represented as patters, vectors or scalars extracted from time-dependent speech signal. In addition, there are
