Endocrine effects in the aquatic environment are in the focus of scientists and media along with debates on the necessity of further steps in wastewater treatment. In the present study VTG responses were compared to evaluate upgrades at wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). We investigated several advanced sewage treatment technologies at two WWTPs connected to the Schussen, a tributary of Lake ...

studies on adsorption, desorption and reaction kinetics of carbendazim in grey-brown podzolic soil derived from loamy sand (Albic luvisls), grey-brown podzolic soil derived from silt (Haplic luvisols) and brown soil derived from sandy clay loam (Haplic Cambisols) were carried out. Five concentrations of carbendazim (5.0, 3.8, 2.6, 1.0 and 0.2 μg ⋅ cm-3) in 0.01 mol ⋅ dm-3 CaCl2 were used for th...

Physician to the Bristol General Hospital. I have recently attended two patients both of whom passed gallstones , and both of whom noticed a quantity of fine gritty sand in their stools for several days and even weeks during the time that the stones were passing. The stones were of the ordinary type, facetted, varying in size from a hemp seed to a pea, and composed almost entirely of cholesteri...

Hydraulic conductivities of sands with different gradation and grain shape were estimated experimentally at a relative density (Dr) of about 40 % and a 22 ± 2 °C of constant temperature. Narli Sand (NS) with 0.67 of sphericity (S) and 0.72 of roundness (R), and Crushed Stone Sand (CSS) with 0.55 of S and 0.15 of R values were artificially graded into sixteen different grain-size fractions (4.75...

A laboratory study was made of the effects of crushed particles, both coarse and fine aggregate, on the stability of bituminous-aggregate mixtures. Crushed limestone and varying percentages of crushed and uncrushed gravel were used as the coarse aggregate while variation in the shape of the fine aggregate was obtained by using rounded natural sand and crushed-stone sand. These aggregates were u...

Impact tests of stones on a geotextile or two loosely connected geotextiles (composites) have been performed and analysed to investigate the mechanisms that lead perforation. The were mounted concrete cylinder 0.8 m internal diameter, filled with uniformly graded dry sand. Drop blocks different shapes weighing approximately 40 kg. drop heights varied between 0.25 5.5 m. Results show shape stone...

Artificial live rock is an artificial that shaped like living in nature. designed to mimic natural which capable of being a substrate for corals, habitat epibenthic and the biological filter saltwater aquarium. The purpose this research know technique making development are suitable export on scale. method used experimental with quantitative descriptive analysis. level suitability product stand...
