Measuring Virtual Community Cohesion
This paper presents findings of a preliminary study on virtual community cohesion with the aim to measure the social cohesiveness of users of the social media. Whilst social media can be a medium for social integration, it can be a tool to instigate disunity and social calamity. This study attempts to gauge the perception of ordinary Malaysian citizens who are users of the social media on the e...
متن کاملMicrobial Community Structure and Arsenic Biogeochemistry in Two Arsenic-Impacted Aquifers in Bangladesh
Long-term exposure to trace levels of arsenic (As) in shallow groundwater used for drinking and irrigation puts millions of people at risk of chronic disease. Although microbial processes are implicated in mobilizing arsenic from aquifer sediments into groundwater, the precise mechanism remains ambiguous. The goal of this work was to target, for the first time, a comprehensive suite of state-of...
متن کاملMicrobial Community in High Arsenic Shallow Groundwater Aquifers in Hetao Basin of Inner Mongolia, China
A survey was carried out on the microbial community of 20 groundwater samples (4 low and 16 high arsenic groundwater) and 19 sediments from three boreholes (two high arsenic and one low arsenic boreholes) in a high arsenic groundwater system located in Hetao Basin, Inner Mongolia, using the 454 pyrosequencing approach. A total of 233,704 sequence reads were obtained and classified into 12-267 o...
متن کاملCommunity-level cohesion without cooperation
Recent work draws attention to community-community encounters ('coalescence') as likely an important factor shaping natural ecosystems. This work builds on MacArthur's classic model of competitive coexistence to investigate such community-level competition in a minimal theoretical setting. It is shown that the ability of a species to survive a coalescence event is best predicted by a community-...
متن کاملMolecular analysis of microbial community structures in pristine and contaminated aquifers: field and laboratory microcosm experiments.
This study used phylogenetic probes in hybridization analysis to (i) determine in situ microbial community structures in regions of a shallow sand aquifer that were oxygen depleted and fuel contaminated (FC) or aerobic and noncontaminated (NC) and (ii) examine alterations in microbial community structures resulting from exposure to toluene and/or electron acceptor supplementation (nitrate). The...
