Microalgal blooms can result from anthropogenic nutrient loadings in coastal ecosystems. However, differentiating sources of nutrients remains a challenge. The response of phytoplankton and benthic microalgae (BMA) to nutrient loads was compared across tropical tidal creeks with and without secondary treated sewage. Primary productivity in the water column was limited by nitrogen availability i...

Sewage is a kind of ideal low-temperature heat sources. Sewage heat source pump system uses heat energy in sewage, and it is a method of utilizing sewage resources. In this article we analyze sewage’s characteristics and sewage source heat pump system; introduce its practical applications in sewage treatment plants in China, analyze its technical and economic characteristics, and discuss its ap...

Camelina ( sativa L.) is an industrial crop, which has been cultivated for centuries as oilseed crop human food, however, the production and its importance were not well known in Ethiopia. The current research was conducted to identify potential agroecology rate of NP (nitrogen phosphorous) fertilizer high yield camelina crop. Two major agroecological zones, namely highland (moist dega) midland...

BACKGROUND Venous ulcers have a significant impact on patient quality of life, and constitute a worldwide public health problem. Treatment is complex, with high failure rates. OBJECTIVES To identify clinical and therapeutic factors that influence healing of venous ulcers. METHODS Retrospective cohort study of patients with venous ulcers. Ulcer area was measured at the first visit (T0) and a...

Quality of life (QoL) is one of the most important factors for cancer patients related to survival. Literature supports the role of physical exercise as therapy for improving QoL in this category. This study aims to verify the impact of an unsupervised physical activity program at moderate intensity in this field. Fourteen breast and colon cancer patients, aged 63 ± 15, were prescribed a progra...

A study of the immunological properties of phage strains derived from T2 x T6 crosses revealed that the majority of the progeny differ serologically from the parental viruses. Some hybrids were found to contain head membranes having the serological specificity of both T2 and T6 phages, while others contained tail sheaths of the former and the tail fibers of the latter. Since the immunological p...

The objective was to evaluate the effect of tannery sludge vermicompost in the chemical properties of soil cultivated with tomato and irrigated with wastewater. The experimental design was completely randomized in a factorial 6 × 2, totaling twelve treatments with three replications. The treatments were: four tannery sludge vermicompost (25% Sludge tannery(LC) + manure T1, 25% Sludge tannery(LC...

The efficiency of constructed wetland to treat weak and medium primary sewage effluent was tested under three rates of sewage inflow and two types of growing plants (i.e., leaf cattail and common reed). The capability of the wetland to remove COD, BOD, TSS, TDS and F. coliform from the primary weak sewage increased with decreasing the rate of the sewage inflow from 12 L/hr. to 6L/hr., with litt...

The article presents test results on the changes occurring in sewage sludge during the process of its storage. Tests were conducted on mechanically dehydrated sewage sludge derived from large municipal sewage treatment plants equipped with biological sewage treatment systems. In testing presented in the paper the focus was on the basic fuel properties of sewage sludge: moisture content, heat of...
