Aerobic granular sludge treating shipboard slop: Analysis of total petroleum hydrocarbons loading rates on performances and stability
2018
Abstract The work focuses on the feasibility of treating slop with aerobic granular sludge. For this purpose, a 3.5 L granular sequencing batch reactor was activated and it was monitored for 156 days. The experimental campaign was divided into two periods, named Period I (100 days) and Period II (56 days). Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon (TPH) concentration in the slop was, on average, equal to 6.8 ± 1.5 mg L−1 and 13 ± 1.5 mg L−1 in Period I and Period II respectively. The obtained results during the first experimental period indicated that about 80 days were required to reach steady state with mature granules, when TPHs removal efficiency was approximately 90%. The results indicated that both…
Shortcut nitrification-denitrification by means of autochthonous halophilic biomass in an SBR treating fish-canning wastewater
2017
Abstract Autochthonous halophilic biomass was cultivated in a sequencing batch reactor (SBR) aimed at analyzing the potential use of autochthonous halophilic activated sludge in treating saline industrial wastewater. Despite the high salt concentration (30 g NaCl L −1 ), biological oxygen demand (BOD) and total suspended solids (TSS), removal efficiencies were higher than 90%. More than 95% of the nitrogen was removed via a shortcut nitrification-denitrification process. Both the autotrophic and heterotrophic biomass samples exhibited high biological activity. The use of autochthonous halophilic biomass led to high-quality effluent and helped to manage the issues related to nitrogen removal…
Circolazione e sviluppo di un modello metodologico. La critica testuale delle fonti giuridiche romane fra Otto Gradenwitz e Salvatore Riccobono
2018
La ricerca delle interpolazioni, cominciata con la Scula culta, viene ripresa in Germania alla fine del XIX secolo. Fra quanti misero a punto un metodo storico-critico per lo studio delle fonti giuridiche romane va menzionato anche Gradenwitz, che – insieme ad altri studiosi tedeschi – sarebbe stato uno dei maestri di Riccobono. La prima produzione scientifica di Riccobono, che si riconosce nel nuovo indirizzo storico-critico affermatosi in Germania, si avvale dei metodi appresi dai maestri tedeschi. Lungo questo solco, tuttavia, comincia l’elaborazione di un metodo più raffinato, che distingue fra interpolazioni formali e interpolazioni sostanziali e recupera gradualmente altri strumenti d…
Performances of a granular sequencing batch reactor (GSBR).
2007
Aerobic granulation in sequencing batch reactors is widely reported in literature and in particular in SBAR (Sequencing batch airlift reactor) configuration, due to the high localised hydrodynamic shear forces that occur in this type of configuration. The aim of this work was to observe the phenomenon of the aerobic granulation and to confirm the excellent removal efficiencies that can be achieved with this technology. In order to do that, a laboratory-scale plant, inoculated with activated sludge collected from a conventional WWTP, was operated for 64 days: 42 days as a SBAR and 22 days as a SBBC (sequencing batch bubble column). The performances of the pilot plant showed excellent organic…
A 3-week post-weaning restricted feeding as alternative to an ad libitum antibiotic-medicated feed: Effects on growth, carcass and meat of rabbits di…
2022
In this investigation, the impact of a 3-week post-weaning restricted feeding (RF) using an antibiotic-free feed, applied to rabbits from 36 to 56 days of age to preserve their health status as alternative to an ad libitum medicated feed with antibiotics (AMF), was verify in relation to rabbit genotype and slaughter age (SA). The RF and AMF treatments were compared evaluating their effects on feed intake, growth, mortality, carcass and meat quality of rabbits of two genotypes, Italian White purebred (IWP) and hybrid Hycole×IWP crossbred (HIWC), slaughtered at 78 or 92 days of age to obtain light or heavy carcasses. At 36 days of age, 256 weaned rabbits of both sexes were divided into 4 homo…
The metabolic versatility of PAOs as an opportunity to obtain a highly P-enriched stream for further P-recovery
2015
The effects of two sequencing batch reactor operation strategies for phosphorus stream enrichment over the biological phosphorus removal performance have been studied. The objective of both strategies is of performing an extraction cycle in order to obtain a new stream highly enriched with phosphorus. In the 1st strategy the amount of influent volatile fatty acids (VFAs) is the same in each cycle; while in the 2nd strategy the influent VFAs concentration is increased during phosphorus extraction experiments. Despite the strong decrease of the stored poly-P inside the cells in both strategies after the recovery cycles, the ability of the systems to remove phosphorus was not affected. The P-r…
Jana van Reisbrūka un Avilas Terēzes praktiskās un mistiskās dzīves izpratne un pieredze: salīdzinājums
2017
Šajā bakalaura darbā tiek apskatīti un salīdzināti divi izcili kristīgie mistiķi - Jans van Reisbrūks (1293-1381, Beļģija) un Avilas Terēze (1515-1582, Spānija). Darba mērķis ir izpētīt, atspoguļot un salīdzināt Jana van Reisbrūka un Avilas Terēzes praktiskās dzīves izpratni un mistiskā ceļa pieredzi. Tas nozīmē, ka katrā mistiķī tiek pētītas divas lietas - praktiskās dzīves izpratne, kas tuvina Dievam, un mistiskā ceļa pieredze, kas rezultējas apzinātā vienotībā ar Dievu. Šīs divas izpratnes un pieredzes starp abiem mistiķiem tiek salīdzinātas. Salīdzinājums parāda, ka abiem mistiķiem ir ļoti līdzīga praktiskās dzīves izpratne un, ka mistiskā ceļa būtība ir analoģiska, kas ir pilnīga un ne…
Quantification des Brettanomyces par qPCR
2017
International audience; Brettanomyces bruxellensis est une levure d’altération du vin avec de faibles besoins nutritionnels, résistante à l’éthanol et aux faibles pH, lui permettant une implantation en vin durant ou après la fermentation alcoolique (Conterno et al., 2006). B. bruxellensis est capable de produire des phénols volatils (éthyl-4-phénol, éthyl-4-gaïacol et éthyl-4-catéchol) (Oelofse et al., 2008). Ces molécules volatiles odorantes amènent un caractère phénolé et animal au vin connu sous le nom de « caractère Brett ». D’autres molécules (2-acétyltétrahydropyridine et 2-éthyltétrahydropyridine) produites par B. bruxellensis sont également responsables d’une déviation organoleptiqu…
Predictive Capacity of Boar Sperm Morphometry and Morphometric Sub-Populations on Reproductive Success after Artificial Insemination
2021
The aim of the study was to compare the morphometric features of sperm head sizeand shape from the Pietrain line and the Duroc×Pietrain boar crossbred terminal lines, and toevaluate their relationship with reproductive success after artificial insemination of sows producedfrom crossbreeding the York, Landrace and Pietrain breeds. Semen samples were collected from 11sexually mature boars. Only ejaculates with greater than 70% motility rate and <15% of abnormalsperm were used for artificial inseminations (AI) and included in the study. Samples were analyzedusing an ISAS®v1 computer-assisted sperm analysis system for eight morphometric parameters ofhead shape and size (CASA-Morph). Sub-populat…
The Prevalence of sexual abuse in institutions : Results from a representative population-based sample in Germany
2018
The lifetime prevalence of sexual abuse in institutional settings in Germany was examined in a sample representative of the general adult population (N = 2,437). Participants completed a survey on whether they had ever experienced such abuse, its nature (contact, noncontact, forced sexual, intercourse), the type of institution (e.g. school, club), and the relationship of perpetrator to victim (peer, caregiver, staff member). Overall, 3.1% of adult respondents (women: 4.8%, men: 0.8%) reported having experienced some type of sexual abuse in institutions. Adult women reported higher rates of all types than did men, with rates of 3.9% versus 0.8% for contact sexual abuse, 1.2% versus 0.3% for …
