Taming Toxic Algae Blooms
The trouble began for Toledo, Ohio, in the spring of 2014, when extreme storms washed an unusually high pulse of nutrients into Lake Erie. By late summer, a massive bloom of blue-green algae, otherwise known as cyanobacteria, had shut down the city’s drinking water system. Powered by nutrients from agricultural runoff and the warm, calm summer waters, the algae spread across the lake and slowly...
متن کاملFabrication of Metal and Metal Oxide Nanoparticles by Algae and their Toxic Effects
Of all the aquatic organisms, algae are a good source of biomolecules. Since algae contain pigments, proteins, carbohydrates, fats, nucleic acids and secondary metabolites such as alkaloids, some aromatic compounds, macrolides, peptides and terpenes, they act as reducing agents to produce nanoparticles from metal salts without producing any toxic by-product. Once the algal biomolecules are iden...
متن کاملAnomic Aspirations of Youth and Their Consequences
Since a decade ago, Iran has been in economic crisis and anomic situation. Peoples’ aspirations and goals are of the factors and mechanisms that transform economic crisis into social problems and deviances. Accordingly, present research studies levels of youth aspirations, particularly economic aspirations, and their consequences. Using a survey method, youth between 25-30 years of age have bee...
متن کاملLizhbeth: Toward Autonomous Toxic Algae Bloom Monitoring
With the recent increase of toxic algal blooms in lakes, biologists are looking for new sampling methods to analyze their spatiotemporal dynamics. In this paper, we present an Autonomous Surface Vessel (ASV) capable of achieving longterm sampling missions covering up to now a transect plane (1.5 km wide and 20m deep). The ASV is equipped with a probe which can be lowered via a winch to measure ...
متن کاملAlgae need their vitamins.
Algae are simple photosynthetic eukaryotes which—owing to their colonization of the oceans—are responsible for up to 50% of the planet’s atmospheric carbon fixation (22). They comprise a diverse group that can broadly be defined as unicellular (microalgae) or multicellular (macroalgae) photosynthetic organisms that lack roots, stems, leaves, conducting vessels, and complex sex organs (55). A si...
