Abstract: Disclosed are a method and a device for treating high ammonia-nitrogen wastewater using a microbial electrolysis cell (MEC) assisted SANI system, including an SANI system, an MEC and a power supply. The cathode chamber and anode chamber of the MEC are separated by a separator and are respectively connected to the cathode and anode of the power supply, and a cathode electrode is enriched with hydrogen autotrophic denitrifying bacteria. The cathode chamber has two main functions. Firstly, a higher denitrification efficiency is achieved due to the enriched hydrogen autotrophic denitrifying bacteria; and secondly, the alkalinity produced in the cathode can adjust the pH of the nitrification chamber. In addition, the cathode chamber can oxidize the residual sulfide in the effluent to meet the discharge standard. This system retains the advantage of less sludge in a SANI process, but also can be applied to the treatment of wastewater with high ammonia-nitrogen.

Abstract: Implementations are described herein for adapting existing source code snippets to new contexts. In various implementations, a command may be detected to incorporate an existing source code snippet into destination source code. An embedding may be generated based on the existing source code snippet, e.g., by processing the existing source code snippet using an encoder. The destination source code may be processed to identify one or more decoder constraints. Subject to the one or more decoder constraints, the embedding may be processed using a decoder to generate a new version of the existing source code snippet that is adapted to the destination source code.
