the offered approach is based on the establishment of the functional dependence between river water discharge (q) and suspended ms ,in a number of observations, which noticeably differs from the mean value (r) of subsequent allocated period(s). the earliest period anthropogenic component during the subsequent period(s) is the difference between an actual suspended sediment yield and its hypothe...

reaction constants and heat release during thermophilic aerobic digestion of typical secondary and mixed sludges were determined. maximum reaction constant, determined by measuring the amounts of biodegradable volatile suspended solids (bvss) removed, occurred in the temperature range of 55-60 ºc. measurement of heat releases were carried out, at the same range, by the aid of a temperature prog...

correct estimation of suspended sediment transported by a river is an important practice in water structure design, environmental problems and water quality issues. conventionally, sediment rating curve used for suspended sediment estimation in rivers. in this method discharge and sediment discharge or concentration related using regression relation that generally is exponential model. respect ...

Cancer stem cells (CSCs) play important roles in the biological behaviour of malignant tumours. To study their properties, they must be carefully identified and purified. Cancer cells can acquire three different morphological types during single cell cloning. A small subpopulation of clones acquires a regular and compact shape, and these clones ar...

The between-population genetic architecture for growth and maturation has not been examined in detail for many animal species despite its central importance in understanding hybrid fitness. We studied the genetic architecture of population divergence in: (i) maturation probabilities at the same age; (ii) size at age and growth, while accounting for maturity status and sex; and (iii) growth plas...

algal growth and the water quality effects were studied and modeled in the lower reaches of the colusa basin drain as a stream system. statistical techniques such as the correlation matrix and the stepwise multiple regression are performed on such variables as algal biomass, ammonia, nitrate, orthophosphate, temperature, and the solar radiation intensity in deriving an algae statistical model. ...

Probiotics can improve growth, survival and resistance to pathogenic organisms of the cultivated species in aquaculture systems with water recirculation. However, their possible benefits on biofloc systems have been less studied. In this study, the benefits of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens bacterium, on a biofloc culture of Litopenaeus vannamei were evaluated. B. amyloliquefaciens was applied as d...

1. Sections of Avena coleoptiles are found to show a considerable elongation when suspended in solutions of growth substance. 2. This elongation does not take place in the absence of O(2) and is inhibited by KCN and phenylurethane. 3. The rate of respiration of sections of coleoptiles is increased by the addition of growth substance in concentrations which cause growth. High concentrations of g...
