Wastewater treatment facilities use secondary treatment to stabilize the effect of discharged effluent on receiving waters by oxidizing biodegradable organic matter and reducing suspended solids and nutrients. The process was never specifically intended to remove trace quantities of xenobiotics, such as endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs) and pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs)...

The spatial arrangement of plants in a landscape influences wind flow, but the extent that differences in the density of conspecifics and the height of surrounding vegetation influence population spread rates of wind dispersed plants is unknown. Wind speeds were measured at the capitulum level in conspecific arrays of different sizes and densities in high and low surrounding vegetation to deter...

BACKGROUND Ethnobotanical studies are crucial in South-Eastern Europe for fostering local development and also for investigating the dynamics of Traditional Environmental Knowledge (TEK) related to plants in one of the most crucial European hotspots for biocultural diversity. The current medico-ethnobotanical survey was conducted in rural alpine communities in Kosovo. The aims of the study were...

There is a great scientific debate on homeopathic. However, despite all controversies, it has been observed that homeopathy use among cancer patient is increasing globally. In recent years a homeopathic approach called the „Psorinum‟ therapy have gained tremendous popularity among cancer patients in Kolkata, India.

15 evaluate the correction term for each triple in the left side of table 1, but for brevity of exposition we will evaluate this term only for a sample of each class (T 2 and T 4).

The double lepton pair decay modes of the KL meson are analyzed including all contributions of order p in Chiral Perturbation Theory. The experimentally established eeee mode and the recently observed eeμμ mode are discussed in detail. Typeset using REVTEX 0 In this note we reconsider the double lepton pair decays KL → llll that were studied many years ago by Miyazaki and Takasugi [1]. The two ...

Abstract Recently, pastoral ecosystem has been strongly studied by naturalists. However, phytoecological research must focus on species richness and enhance these ecosystems. The main objective of this is to prove that the Moroccan very rich in terms soil biodiversity plant formations. In such areas, some plants maintain physicochemical characteristics soil. field experiment was based Braun-Bla...
