Decomposition of Organic Matter in Sea Water by Bacteria: I. Bacterial Multiplication in Stored Sea Water.

The organic matter in the sea is unevenly distributed between the living plant and animal population, the suspended detritus, the organic matter in the sea bottom, and that present in the water in true and in colloidal solution. The living forms and the detritus make up only a small part of the total organic matter in the sea; the ratio between the organic matter in solution and that present in...

Corrosion of Concrete in Sea Water (RESEARCH NOTE)

Attack and disintegration of concrete structures under the influence of aggressive fluids, wet gases, etc. are understood as corrosion of concrete. The corrosion of concrete is a chemical, colloidchemical process, yet often a physico-chemical one, while that of reinforced concrete supported oil platforms are subjected to marine environment in the Persian Gulf and therefore corroded. In the pres...

Effects of Caspian Sea water level fluctuations on existing drains

This study is an attempt to develop an integrated methodology to predict the impact of the Caspian Sea on flooding using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and hydrodynamic modeling. A rise in the sea level might lead to major flooding events, and have a severe impact on the spatial development of cities and regions. The feasibility of simulating a flood event along a drain channel is evaluat...

Possibility of Sea Water as Mixing Water in Concrete

In the near future, fresh water will be very difficult to get and scarce. It is said that in 2025 half of the mankind will live in the areas where fresh water is not enough. Also, UN and WMO are predicting 5 billion people will be in short of even drinking water. Also, in the present, there are some areas where sea water or chloride contained sand are used as mixing water with or without intens...
