Membrane Aerated Biofilms: Who is There, What are They Doing, and Why are They Beneficial
Membrane aerated biofilms (MABs) are an emerging technology for wastewater treatment. Several bench scale and pilot scale studies have help to highlight the benefits of this technology. This paper will discuss experiments that examined the impact of oxygen gradients and the impact of BOD gradients on the performance of MABs, and discusses how an MAB compares to a conventional biofilm.
متن کاملWhy There Is No Statistical Test for Confounding, Why Many Think There Is, and Why They Are Almost Right
Confounding is a simple concept. If we undertake to estimate the e ect of one variable (X) on another (Y ) by examining the statistical association between the two, we ought to ensure that the association is not produced by factors other than the e ect under study. The presence of spurious association, due for example to the in uence of extraneous variables, is called confounding as it tends to...
متن کاملSmall Targets: Why are they So Difficult to Acquire?
Facilitating the acquisition of small targets is an active area of research. Despite the usefulness of the techniques proposed so far, we show why this topic can benefit from more fundamental work. We investigate three factors that might account for the observed drop in performance when selecting small targets: motor accuracy, visual legibility and quantization. Our findings suggest that visual...
متن کاملWhy Believe That There Is a God?
This article presents an argument for the existence of God, showing that the evident phenomena are best explained by supposing that a God causes them. The argument is based on the inductive force of four very evident general phenomena: that there is a physical Universe; that it is governed by very simple natural laws; that those laws are such as to lead to the existence of human bodies; and tha...
متن کاملHow many genes are there in plants (... and why are they there)?
Annotation of the first few complete plant genomes has revealed that plants have many genes. For Arabidopsis, over 26,500 gene loci have been predicted, whereas for rice, the number adds up to 41,000. Recent analysis of the poplar genome suggests more than 45,000 genes, and partial sequence data from Medicago and Lotus also suggest that these plants contain more than 40,000 genes. Nevertheless,...
