The influence of nutrients in wastewater from dairy lagoons on the survival of Escherichia coli O157:H7 was monitored. Initially, the survival of E. coli O157:H7 in wastewater from which the competing native organisms had been removed by filter sterilization or autoclaving was compared with that in wastewater from which competing organisms had not been removed. Numbers of E. coli O157:H7 or E. ...

No single mine sensor has the potential to increase the probability of detection and decrease false alarm rates for all types of mines under the wide variety of environmental conditions in which mines exist. As is clear from the previous chapter, each innovative method is subject to limitations under certain conditions of environment and mine type. Thus it is unlikely that any one technology wi...

A line source sprinkler was used to irrigate corn (Zen ?nays L.) plots with potato (Soianum tuberosum L.)-processing wastewater in 1979, 1980, and 1981. Nitrogen applications ranged from about 4 to 600 kg/ha. Corn yields were measured for each row, the grain and stalks were analyzed for total N, and N uptake was calculated. The plots were split by years, one-third of the area was fertilized wit...

This report assesses innovative technologies for detecting antipersonnel mines at close range. The Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), concerned about the slow pace of mine detection and clearance in postconflict areas, asked the RAND Science and Technology Policy Institute (S&TPI) to assess the performance potential of innovative mine detection systems and to carry out the followin...

Injury from anti-personnel mines remains a serious threat to military and civilian populations, even after conflict has ceased (Groom 1984; Jeffreys 1996). It was estimated that in 1996, there were approximately 100 million anti-personnel mines laid worldwide and many of these were, and still are, situated in unmarked mine fields. This article discusses the mechanism, medical management and out...
