چکیده
The occurrence and behavior of wastewater indicator compounds in the Santa Arm River (SAR) water and the underlying aquifer recharged by the SAR has been studied. The SAR contains a high proportion of tertiary treated wastewater effluents, up to 100% during summer and fall. The following water quality parameters were quantified: four specific wastewater indicator compounds, ethylene diaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA), a naphthalene dicarboxylate (NDC) isomer, alkylphenol polyethoxy carboxylates (APECs), and selected haloacetic acids (HAAs), nitrate, dissolved oxygen (DO), DOC, total carbohydrate, and phenolic substances. Statistical analysis indicated that normal distribution was adequate to describe the probability distribution of the constituents in most cases. In the river, the concentrations of wastewater indicator compounds decreased as the fraction of storm runoff increased. EDTA and NDC were detected in a monitoring well near the river and in two production wells 1.8 and 2.7 km down gradient with little apparent attenuation. By contrast, NTA, APECs, bromochioroand dibromoacetic acids appeared to be attenuated significantly during infiltration of river water and groundwater transport. © 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd.

A new cell immobilization method based on the replacement of KC1 by KC1 +chitosan as gelling agent was developed. The results showed that through addition of chitosan into gelling agent, the mechanical strength and thermal stability of the carrageenan gel were greatly improved. The new immobilization method was used to entrap a chlorophenol-degrading microorganism. The immobilized microbial cel...

The objectives of this research work was to evaluate the reduction of THM precursors by cationic pDADMAC and determine the correlations between the chlorine demand and trihalomethane formation in the presence of electrolyte solutions and ambient light. The chlorine demand was found to be significantly reduced provided that the H2SO 4 electrolyte was fed to the sample solutions. The amount of CH...

Relevance has become a major area of research in the ®eld of Information Retrieval, despite the fact that the concept relevance is not well understood. This paper models manifestations of relevance within a system of relevance attributes to show that the attributes function in dierent dimensions for the dierent manifestations of relevance. It is shown that motivational relevance, as a manifes...

Performance evaluation of multiple-bus multiprocessor systems is usually carried out under the assumption of uniform memory reference model. Hot spots arising in multiprocessor systems due to the use of shared variables, synchronization primitives, etc. give rise to non-uniform memory reference pattern. The objective of this paper is to study the performance of multiple bus multiprocessor syste...
متن کاملCholinergic modulation of spike timing and spike rate
Little is known about the constraints that neuromodulation places upon neural coding. We investigated the relationship between cholinergic modulation of spike timing and rate in a compartment model of a neocortical neuron. Our results suggest that cholinergic modulation of spike timing is directly related to the modulation of spike rate via the insertion of new spikes, and that spike timing is ...
