09/234248

Abstract:

The present invention provides a method of reducing the concentration of recalcitrant organic contamination in a soil matrix. The method includes the steps of incubating the contaminated soil matrix with unacidified ozone sufficient to reduce the concentration of the recalcitant organic contamination in the soil matrix by about 10% to about 15%; and then applying unacidified ozone to the soil matrix sufficient to substantially reduce the concentration of the recalcitrant organic contamination in the soil matrix. During the incubation phase, the ozone demand of competitive, non-contaminant ozone consumers in the soil is satisfied. Additionally, during the incubation phase, ozone conditions the contaminated soil matrix to prepare the recalcitrant organic contamination for subsequent rapid and substantial destruction. When the concentration of the recalcitrant organic contamination has been reduced by from about 10% to about 15% in the soil, the incubation phase has ended such that the application of additional unacidified ozone to the soil matrix rapidly and substantially reduces the concentration of the recalcitrant organic contamination in the soil matrix.

Abstract:

A system for use-case software development includes an interface renderer for interpreting a user interface definition code and displaying a user interface, a request dispatcher for processing a request from the interface renderer, and a request handler for processing the request and checking a use-case name contained in the request. The system further includes a use-case handling program, invoked by the request handler, for performing logic defined by a use-case corresponding to the use-case name and according to a use-case state and returning an interface definition specifying an interface layout and controls that are interpretable by the interface renderer, and a server page container for receiving the interface definition and providing the user interface definition code to the interface renderer.
