This paper proposes a novel type of Output-Output Correspondence (OO-Corr) termed Transparadigmatic Output-Output Correspondence, which I contrast against two other types of OO-Corr. This is summarized in Table 1. One is Classic OO-Corr (case studies in Benua 1997), which involves a correspondence relation between an output (candidate) [X-Y] and another output [X], which is referred to as the b...

Youth with Tourette syndrome (TS) exhibit, compared to healthy, abnormal ability to lateralize digital sequential tasks. It is unknown whether this trait is related to inter-hemispheric connections, and whether it is preserved or lost in patients with TS persisting through adult life. We studied 13 adult TS patients and 15 age-matched healthy volunteers. All participants undertook: 1) a finger ...

Among the numerous non-point sources of diffuse water pollution with nitrogen, agriculture is counted one of the main sources. The agricultural policies of the Agenda 2000 and a decoupling of direct payments for farmers from their production decisions are exemplarily evaluated as nitrogen reduction measures using the Regional Agricultural and Environmental Information System RAUMIS. The results...

In Denmark, the first Action Plan for the Aquatic Environment (I) was introduced in 1987. The target was a 50% reduction in nitrogen emissions to the aquatic environment by 1993. Measures were directed towards the individual farmer and included the establishment of slurry tanks with 9 month storage capacity and obligations to grow winter crops on 65% of the area. In the early 1990s, it was obvi...

This research was aimed to investigate the capability of a combined system of activated sludge and microfiltration processes with backflushing technique to reduce organic carbon and nitrogen compounds in hazardous landfill leachates. The experiments included acclimation, batch and continuous processes. The continuous process was conducted with a 24 hour HRT (Hydraulic Retention Time), and the S...

The decimal elimination capacity (DEC) of slow sand filters (SSF) for viruses, bacteria and oocysts of Cryptosporidium has been assessed from full-scale data and pilot plant and laboratory experiments. DEC for viruses calculated from experimental data with MS2-bacteriophages in the pilot plant filters was 1.5–2 log10. E. coli and thermotolerant coliforms (Coli44) were removed at full-scale and ...

The concentration profiles of the potential endocrine disrupting nonionic alkylphenol ethoxylate (APEO) surfactants in Israel’s rivers, groundwaters and coastal water of the eastern Mediterranean Sea, were found to be within the range of 12.5–74.6, trace – 20.2 and 4.2–25.0 μg/L respectively. Determination of the APEO’s homologic distribution revealed “skewing” towards the more toxic shorter-ch...

Laboratory studies have indicated that calcite may be used in separate, exchangeable filter units in constructed wetland systems to remove phosphorus. Based on these studies we built a full-scale experimental constructed wetland with a calcite-based filter unit to study its performance, under real-life conditions. The system consists of a 2-m3 sedimentation tank and two vertical flow constructe...

The present paper deals with the wastewater pond accident in Nagybánya (Romania) in 2000 of which the result was an about 100 tons of highly toxic cyanide spill into the River Tisza. Measurements and laboratory tests were performed during the toxic wave transport. On the basis of this data set mass balance calculations were performed by hydraulic and transport models to investigate and better u...
