XII. The Carboniferous Sediments around Strathaven

Coliform Bacteria in Sediments Around Three Marine Sewage Outfalls

The distribution of coliforms in the sediments around three marine sewage outfalls was investigated. It was found that coliform fields extended for considerable distances around the two outfalls discharging unchlorinatcd primary treatment effluent and that a less extensive field existed around the outfall discharging more highly treated sewage. In general, the coliforms in the sediments were fo...

Lead distribution in coastal and estuarine sediments around India.

This study describes the geochemical distribution of lead (Pb) and identifies the critical factors that significantly control Pb distribution and speciation in coastal and estuarine sediments around India by using published data from the literature. Crustal sources influence the abundance of Pb in coastal sediment from the south-east and central-west coast of India. Parts of north-east, north-w...

When vertebrates invaded land during the Carboniferous

period, they were exposed not only to new ecological opportunities but also to a desiccating environment (Williams and Tieleman, 2002). To maintain cellular water homeostasis in such an environment, natural selection modified the integument of pioneering terrestrial animals, enabling them to reduce water loss through the skin. Nowhere is this modification of the integument more important than f...

xii Preface

As information modeling takes a more prominent role in organizations and the implications become more widespread, researchers, practitioners and academicians alike will need to have access to the most up-to-date research and practice in information modeling techniques and applications. The chapters in this book address the timely topics of unified modeling language, enterprise resource planning...
