Nutrient concentration profiles are affected by the mass transport outside the biofilm, inside the biofilm, and by the structure of the biofilm. To understand the distribution of biofilm activity, it is necessary to correlate the local nutrient concentration, local mass transport in the biofilm and the biofilm structure. The correlations among surface averaged dissolved oxygen concentration, su...

In the manufacture of ophthalmic medicinal films, special attention should be paid to choice a film-forming substance, since both shape future film and its properties as whole depend on it. This article provides laboratory analysis with comparative assessment optimal concentrations two substances, polyvinyl alcohol gelatin. Most presented formers have number disadvantages, such thickness, insuf...

2. The dissolved-phase fraction (fdissolved) is a function of the characteristics and level of suspended solids and dissolved organic matter, which may be estimated from the following relationship, where [SS] is suspended solid content, [DOC] is DOC concentration, kd is partition coefficient between the dissolved phase and the suspended solids, and kDOC is the partition coefficient between the ...

The effect of compost and humic acid in mobility and concentration of cadmium and chromium in contaminated soil were investigated. Experiment was carried out with three levels of soil cadmium and chromium and two organic matters (compost and humic acid). The study was performed in a randomized complete block design with 3 replicates. Results indicated that application of organic substances enha...
