Crystal structure of bis-(azido-κN)bis[2,5-bis(pyridin-2-yl)-1,3,4-thia-diazole-κ(2) N (2),N (3)]cobalt(II).
2015
The structure of the title compound is isotypic with that of the analogous nickel(II) complex, in which the CoN6 core shows an axially weakly compressed octahedral geometry as opposed to the almost regular geometry exhibited by the NiN6 octahedron.
Cultura, transformación urbana y empoderamiento ciudadano frente a la gentrificación: Comparación entre el caso de Getsemaní (Cartagena de Indias) y …
2016
La cultura se ha convertido en un elemento esencial en los procesos de transformación urbana, especialmente en los barrios céntricos de las ciudades históricas. Ello se explica por lo decisivo de su rol en cuanto a fomentar el consumo y la marca territorial en el marco de la globalización de flujos económicos y turísticos. Este papel de la cultura en la refuncionalización del espacio urbano ha sido reiteradamente criticado por diversos autores. Sin embargo, también se plantea que la cultura puede contribuir a revalorizar los barrios marginales construyendo una imagen positiva, y a empoderar a la ciudadanía contra la gentrificación. Asimismo, como se analizará en el caso de Getsemaní y del R…
Comparativa entre lentes intraoculares multifocales: TECNIS Symphony vs AcrySof PanOptix
2016
PROPOSITO: Evaluar el rendimiento visual de la LIOM TECNIS® Symfony y compararla con la LIOM AcrySof® IQ PanOptix™. MÉTODO: Treinta y ocho pacientes (68 ojos) se dividieron en dos grupos: dieciocho pacientes fueron asignados al grupo de Symfony y veinte pacientes al grupo de PanOptix. Los parámetros analizados fueron UDVA, UIVA, UNVA, CDVA, CDIVA, CDNVA, la SC y las curvas de desenfoque monocular ambas en condiciones fotópicas y en un rango de +3 a -5 D en pasos de 0.5 D junto con un cuestionario de calidad de vida. RESULTADOS: Las diferencias de UDVA, CDVA, UIVA, CDIVA no fueron estadísticamente significativas (test Mann-Whitney; p-valor>0.31). Sin embargo, la PanOptix obtuvo mejores resul…
Selective enrichment of heterotrophic nitrifiers
2019
Removal of nitrogen from wastewaters (WW) represents a global problem. The low nitrification rate during WW treatment is often caused by ecotoxicity. This problem is attributed mostly to the industrial WW. Our study was focused on the testing of industrial WW and activated sludge (AS) with the aim to reveal the abundance of nitrifiers and increase their biomass, thus, providing the additional step, i.e., bioaugmentation, within the technological process of WW treatment. Plating of AS on the selective solidified media designated for the 1st and 2nd nitrification stages, resulted in the shift in bacterial community structure with dominated Alcaligenaceae and Alcanivorax for the 1st stage, and…
Salinity affects nitrate removal and microbial composition of denitrifying woodchip bioreactors treating recirculating aquaculture system effluents
2019
Abstract This study investigated the effect of salinity on microbial composition and denitrification capacity of woodchip bioreactors treating recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) effluents. Twelve laboratory-scale woodchip bioreactors were run in triplicates at 0, 15, 25, and 35 ppt salinities, and water chemistry was monitored every third day during the first 39 days of operation. Microbial communities of the woodchips bioreactors were analyzed at the start, after one week, and at the end of the trial. Woodchip bioreactors removed nitrate at all salinities tested. The highest NO3-N removal rate of 22.0 ± 6.9 g NO3-N/m3/d was obtained at 0 ppt, while 15.3 ± 4.9, 12.5 ± 5.4 and 11.8 ± 4.0…
Functional stability of the nitrate-reducing community in grassland soils towards high nitrate supply
2006
Abstract To study the effects of short-term fluctuation of nitrate concentrations on the nitrate-reducing community, repacked soil cores were amended with 0, 100 and 300 μ g NO 3 - ‐ N g - 1 soil and incubated for 3, 7 and 14 days, respectively. The nitrate reductase activity was determined in a laboratory-based enzyme assay. In parallel, the community structure of nitrate-reducing microorganisms was characterised by RFLP-PCR using the functional gene narG , which encodes the catalytic site of the membrane-bound nitrate reductase. The community structure remained constant over the experimental period indicating that this functional community is characterised by a high resistance towards flu…
BIOLOGICAL DENITRIFICATION OF GROUNDWATER: BIO-PRB COLUMN TEST PERFORMANCES EVALUATION
2012
The occurrence of nitrates in groundwater is steadily raising concern due to possible health consequences of nitrate ingestion. Biological denitrification in BIO-PRB is the enhancement of a natural process that occurs naturally when bacteria live in an environment void of oxygen with carbon availability. Bio-PRB represent a perspective of development for PRB technique but, despite the fact that this technology has already been widely used for chlorinated solvents, data on denitrification PRBs are still scarce. This paper reports on the results of an experimental study carried out for 214 days on a bench-scale pilot column (10 cm in internal diameter and 100 cm in length with sampling ports …
Denitrifying microbial communities along a boreal stream with varying land-use
2019
Streams have an important role in regulating nitrogen (N) transportation from terrestrial ecosystems to downstream waters. Here, we examined how catchment land-use affects potential denitrification rates and the function and composition of denitrifier communities in boreal stream sediments, using stable isotope incubations and qPCR and 454-pyrosequencing targeted on nirS, nirK and nosZ genes. Although land-use influenced the water chemistry as higher nitrite + nitrate (NO x − ) concentration at the agriculture-affected sampling point, sediment organic matter content was found to be the key factor in regulating potential denitrification rates. However, the abundance as well as the diversity …
Methylophilaceae and Hyphomicrobium as target taxonomic groups in monitoring the function of methanol-fed denitrification biofilters in municipal was…
2017
Abstract Molecular monitoring of bacterial communities can explain and predict the stability of bioprocesses in varying physicochemical conditions. To study methanol-fed denitrification biofilters of municipal wastewater treatment plants, bacterial communities of two full-scale biofilters were compared through fingerprinting and sequencing of the 16S rRNA genes. Additionally, 16S rRNA gene fingerprinting was used for 10-week temporal monitoring of the bacterial community in one of the biofilters. Combining the data with previous study results, the family Methylophilaceae and genus Hyphomicrobium were determined as suitable target groups for monitoring. An increase in the relative abundance …
Microbial Community Response on Wastewater Discharge in Boreal Lake Sediments
2017
Despite high performance, municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) still discharge significant amounts of organic material and nitrogen and even microbes into the receiving water bodies, altering physico-chemical conditions and microbial functions. In this study, we examined how nitrified wastewater affects the microbiology of boreal lake sediments. Microbial community compositions were assessed with next generation sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene, and a more detailed view on nitrogen transformation processes was gained with qPCR targeting on functional genes (nirS, nirK, nosZI, nosZII, amoAarchaea, and amoAbacteria). In both of the two studied lake sites, the microbial community compo…
