The International Arid Lands Consortium (IALC) was established in 1990 to promote research, education, and training activities related to the development, management, and reclamation of arid and semiarid lands in the Southwestern United States, the Middle East, and elsewhere in the world. The Consortium supports the ecological sustainability and environmentally sound stewardship of these lands ...

Lime flocculation/sedimentation in the first process unit of a 4,500-m3/day wastewater reclamation plant reduced numbers of microorganisms extensively when operated at pH 11.2. The efficiency was much less at lower pH values, and some bacteria even multiplied at pH 9.6. Data on reduction in the number of microorganisms in the lime treatment and subsequent units indicate that inactivation by hyd...

Abstract While databases of taboo language word norms exist, none focus specifically on slurs as a category language. Furthermore, no existing include measures linguistic reclamation, phenomenon which may affect the processing slurs. I produced database in 155 native or near-native speakers British English rated 41 LGBTQ+ for number properties and reclamation. then ran correlation demographic g...

desertification leads to decrease in the ecosystem c pool and attendant reduction in soil organic carbon (soc). reclamation of sandy land in arid and semi-arid has a high potential to increase carbon sequestration and improving soil quality. our objective as to examine the changes in the soil carbon sequestration and soil properties of two soil layers (0–20 and 20-50 cm) under two types of recl...

As one of the most important wetland systems, coastal wetlands play an role in conserving water, regulating climate and protecting biodiversity. However, due to large-scale long-term tidal flat reclamations, landscape structure function have been greatly affected. Therefore, it is necessary understand spatio-temporal characteristics impact reclamation on regional ecology quantitatively assess r...

The composting process is a proven method of stabilizing organically-based substrates into high quality organic matter sources which are suitable for horticultural, turf and agricultural applications. Composting has also become a popular waste treatment process, used by many nations around the world, to transform society’s by-products into valuable products that can actually benefit society. As...
