Substituent effects on the oxidation of substituted biphenyl congeners by type II methanotroph strain CSC1
(Springer-Verlag, 2005-05)
The oxidation potential of type II groundwater methanotroph, strain CSC1, expressing soluble methane monooxygenase, was measured in the presence of 10 ortho -substituted biphenyls with varying electronics, sterics, and ...
Application of sieve-tray air strippers to the treatment of surfactant-containing wastewaters
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2001-06)
Using sieve-tray air stripping as a means of removing contaminants from surfactant solutions was studied to determine if tray air stripping can be applied successfully to treating surfactant-containing wastewaters and, if ...
Large volume, high-performance applications of fibers in civil engineering
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc., 2002-01-18)
This article presents an overview of fiber applications in cementitious composites. The socio-economic considerations surrounding materials development in civil engineering in general, and fiber reinforced cementitious ...
Inhibitory effects of the macrolide antimicrobial tylosin on anaerobic treatment
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2008-09-01)
A laboratory-scale anaerobic sequencing batch reactor (ASBR) was operated using a glucose-based synthetic wastewater to study the effects of tylosin, a macrolide antimicrobial commonly used in swine production, on treatment ...
Transformation of ortho-substituted biphenyls by Methylosinus trichosporium OB3b: substituent effects on oxidation kinetics and product formation
(Springer-Verlag, 2000-08)
The ability of Methylosinus trichosporium OB3b, expressing soluble methane monooxygenase, to oxidize a range of ortho- substituted biphenyls was examined to better understand how substituents affect both the rate and ...
Influence of Downstream Control and Limited Depth on Flow Hydrodynamics of Impinging Buoyant Jets
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2003-06)
Much study has been performed on the mixing properties of submerged, turbulent buoyant jets. It is safe to say that the problem of estimating dilution rates in vertical buoyant jets spreading in an `infinitely deep' ambient ...
Monitoring granule formation in anaerobic upflow bioreactors using oligonucleotide hybridization probes
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2006-06-20)
The process of granule formation in upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactors was studied using oligonucleotide hybridization probes. Two laboratory-scale UASB reactors were inoculated with sieved primary anaerobic ...
The Effects of Turbulence on Habitat Selection and Swimming Kinematics of Fishes
(2009)
This dissertation has investigated the role of turbulent eddies on habitat selection and swimming kinematics of fishes. First, the level of turbulent velocity fluctuations in habitat selected by brown trout (Salmo trutta) ...
Effects of Organic Base Chemistry on Interfacial Tension, Wettability, and Capillary Pressure in Multiphase Subsurface Waste Systems
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2000-01)
The presence of surfactants may have profound effects on the transport of organic contaminants in multiphase systems. It is a common practice, however, to model the subsurface migration of liquids independently of the ...
Multifunctional layer-by-layer carbon nanotube–polyelectrolyte thin films for strain and corrosion sensing
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2007-04-01)
Since the discovery of carbon nanotubes, researchers have been fascinated by their mechanical and electrical properties, as well as their versatility for a wide array of applications. In this study, a carbon nanotube–pol ...
