abstract recharge of aquifers by using wastewater, is one of the important and applicable ways for reusing this valuable water resource, especially in arid and semi-arid regions. as the necessity of local practices for finding the proper management strategies and optimum use of recharge systems (conforming to climate, soil, etc.), a preliminary study was carried out. three physical models were ...

BACKGROUND The ability to sustain brief high-intensity intermittent efforts (HIE) is meant to be a major attribute for performance in team sports. Adding changes of direction to HIE is believed to increase the specificity of training drills with respect to game demands. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of 90°-changes of direction (COD) during HIE on metabolic and neuromusc...

Oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) sensors would constitute a robust surveillance and control solution for aeration external carbon dosing in wastewater biological treatment processes if clear correlation exists between the ORP values process variables (e.g., dissolved oxygen (DO), nitrate, chemical demand (COD). In this study, other water quality were analyzed, principal component analysis (P...

When cod fish muscle oxalacetate decarboxylase catalyzes the decarboxylation of oxalacetate in the presence of NaBH4, L-lactate results from the reduction of enzyme-bound pyruvate. However, D-lactate results when borohydride reduces the binary enzyme-pyruvate complex formed by adding pyruvate from solution, as reported by others. This observation suggests that there are alternate mechanisms for...

Low-strength saline wastewater may be generated by tourist facilities, industries and communities located in coastal areas. Sea salts, mostly chlorides, when present in wastewaters at high concentrations, can cause inhibition on biological treatment processes. In this study, a laboratory down-flow anaerobic fixed bed reactor (DFAFBR) was used for treating saline wastewater. This wastewater was ...

Cork boiling wastewater pollutants were fractionated by sequential use of four ultrafiltration membranes and five fractions were obtained: four retentates (>100, 50-100, 20-50 and 10-20 kDa) and one permeate (<10 kDa); which were used to study the correlation of molecular size with biodegradability and toxicity before and after ozonation. The results show that molecular size is correlated with ...

This study aims to evaluate the use of oxidation reduction potential (ORP) to regulate the injection of a small amount of oxygen into an anaerobic digester for reducing H2S concentration in biogas. The results confirm that micro-oxygen injection can be effective for controlling H2S formation during anaerobic digestion without disturbing the performance of the digester. Biogas production, compos...

In a typical wastewater treatment fl ow sheet used by several industrial units in Indi a. various stages of treatment include primary treatment. foll owed by secondary treatment . and tertiary treatment. The concentration of total dissolved solids increases during neutrali zation of the wastewater with acid/ alkali during primary treatment. which adversely affects the activity of microorgani sm...

14 Kildin cod is a small landlocked population of Atlantic cod reproductively isolated from 15 marine counterparts for around 1500-2000 years. The Kildin cod lives in a shallow 16 meromictic lake in the five-meter intermediate layer of water with sharp gradients of oxygen 17 and salinity. The cod had an effective population size of around one hundred individuals and 18 evolved unique physiologi...
