The objective of this study was to evaluate the physical compatibility of micafungin injection with selected other drugs during simulated Y-site co-administration. Physical stability was assessed by both visual observation and turbidity measurement. Micafungin in 0.9% sodium chloride injection was combined with each of 48 other drugs, including antineoplastics, analgesics, anti-infectives, and ...

—Despite recent interest in assessing the condition of fish assemblages in Great Lakes coastal wetlands and a concern for increasing turbidity as a major stressor pathway influencing these ecosystems, there is little information on fish tolerance or intolerance to turbidity on which to base wetland assessment metrics. Existing studies have borrowed tolerance designations from the stream literat...

High levels of turbidity and suspended solids are the major disadvantages of aerated lagoons. Aerated lagoon effluent filtration was investigated by Horizontal Roughing Filter (HRF). Removal efficiencies were determined by examining total phosphorus (TP) and total Kjeldahl Nitrogen (TKN) from HRF influent and effluent, simultaneously. HRF pilot system located on effluent pump station of Qom was...

During the past 50 years, the turbidite paradigm has promoted many myths related to deep-water turbidite deposition. John E. Sanders (1926–1999), a pioneering process sedimentologist, first uncovered many of these turbidite myths. This paper provides a reality check by undoing 10 of these turbidite myths. Myth No. 1: turbidity currents are non-turbulent flows with multiple sediment-support mech...

Biomass harvesting is a bottleneck in microalgae culture and microalgae-based wastewater treatment systems. Sedimentation coupled to coagulation flocculation has been experimentally studied for long time, however, full scale sedimentation experiences have not addressed so far literature, scaling up from experimental results may be straightforward. The aim of this study was evaluate the performa...

Penaeus japonicus juveniles were exposed for 3 wk to different turbidities of suspended sediments: control [2 + 2 nephelometric turbidity units (NTU)], medium turbidity (35 f 15 NTU) and high turbidity (65 f 15 NTU). The mortality rate increased after exposure to high turbidity Exposed late luveniles became less tolerant to changes in ambient salinity and showed hlgher mortalities at low salini...

Coagulation-flocculation followed by sedimentation and filtration is the most commonly used water treatment process , in which turbidity or particles removal is strongly dependent on proper coagulant dosage, effect of pH ,effect of time, jar test and settling column tests were perform. In the method the seeds were treated with different solvents of NaCl and NaOH to extract the active coagulant ...

—Turbidity in aquatic systems can change rapidly, affecting the visual ability of predators. Increased turbidity is known to reduce the reactive distance and foraging success of some planktivores and insectivores, leading to decreased growth rates. However, little is known about the effects of turbidity on prey selection by piscivores. We examined the interactions between largemouth bass Microp...

Turbidity sensors can be used to continuously monitor the evolution of pollutant mass discharge. For two sites within the Paris combined sewer system, continuous turbidity, conductivity and flow data were recorded at one-minute time intervals over a one-year period. This paper is intended to highlight the variability in turbidity dynamics during wet weather. For each storm event, turbidity resp...

Seasonal turbidity patterns and event-level hysteresis analysis of turbidity verses discharge in four 1 km headwater catchments in California’s Sierra Nevada indicate localized in-channel sediment sources and seasonal accumulation-depletion patterns of stream sediments. Turbidity signals were analyzed for three years in order to look at the relationships between seasonal turbidity trends, event...
