Controlling Nitrate Concentrations in Large Seawater Facilities
Curators of large aquaria where there is no significant primary production and water changes are impractical have been using biological denitrification to control high nitrate concentrations. The two denitrification systems described in this study operate in different ways: the Living Seas uses a batch system, while the New Jersey State Aquarium uses a flow-through system. The rate of denitrifi...

Healthcare workers, patients, and visitors were at increased risk for infection. Nonetheless, the ability of individual SARS patients to transmit disease was quite variable. Unrecognized SARS case-patients were a primary source of transmission, and early detection and...
متن کاملApplying Lean Production in Healthcare Facilities
Escalating healthcare costs and a sense of urgency to decrease medical errors and improve quality have increased efforts to improve efficiency in the delivery of healthcare services. One strategy to address these problems began many years ago in an unlikely place. The Toyota Production System (also known as Lean Production), originally inspired by Henry Ford’s assembly line approach to manufact...
متن کاملControlling Ant-Based Construction
This paper investigates the dynamics of decentralised nest construction in the ant species Leptothorax tuberointerruptus, exploring the contribution of, and interaction between, a pheromone building template and a physical building template (the bodies of the ants themselves). We present a continuous-space model of ant behaviour capable of generating ant-like nest structures, the integrity and ...
