The fitness of sensitive and resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa in different aquatic environments depends on genetic capacities and transcriptional regulation. Therefore, an antibiotic-sensitive isolate PA30 and a multi-resistant isolate PA49 originating from waste waters were compared via whole genome and transcriptome Illumina sequencing after exposure to municipal waste water and tap water. A ...

The paper reports the outcome of research to demonstrate the proof of concept for simulating individual, collective and interactive household waste management behaviours to provide a tool for efficient integrated waste management planning. The developed model simulates whole communities as distributions of individual households engaged in managing their own domestic waste, through home composti...

In the last five years or so, biofuels have been given notable consideration worldwide as an alternative to fossil fuels, due to their potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by partial replacement of oil as a transport fuel. The production of biofuels using a sustainable approach, should consider local production of biofuels, obtained from local feedstocks and adapted to the socio-economi...

The experimental study was conducted to investigate the effects of different opening ranges of waste gate of a turbocharged medium displacement spark ignition engine on improving work parameters such as exhaust emission, torque characteristics and fuel consumption. The object of the experimental tests was an engine with modified intake and exhaust manifolds. The intake and exhaust manifold modi...

Household food waste has serious negative consequences for the environment and society. Food results from provisioning behaviors, however, there is little evidence regarding consumer-related factors that drive such behaviors. The aim was to investigate antecedents of key behaviors related motivation reduce waste. A cross-sectional online survey (N = 508) conducted in Denmark showed excessive bu...

Technology progress is a cause of industrial hazardous wastes increasing in the whole world . Management of hazardous waste is a significant issue due to the imposed risk on environment and human life. This risk can be a result of location of undesirable facilities and also routing hazardous waste. In this paper a biobjective mixed integer programing model for location-routing industrial hazard...

The selection of adequate substrate for soilless culture is based on technical and economic considerations. Therefore, the search alternatives by valorization natural by-products gaining importance. main objective this study was to compare effects local farm resources, date-palm waste, as substrate, coconut fiber (CF) (commonly used in culture) melon (Cucumis melo L.) plant growth, water relati...

We investigate some simple and surprising properties of a one-dimensional Brownian trajectory with diffusion coefficient D that starts the the origin and reaches X either: (i) at time T or (ii) for the first time at time T . We determine the most likely location of the first-passage trajectory from (0, 0) to (X,T ) and its distribution at any intermediate time t < T . A first-passage path typic...
