The remediation of leachate from (municipal) landfills is becoming an increasing challenge for many government authorities. There is mounting interest in using bioremediation as a means of stripping these contaminants from the leachate and concentrating it within biological material, typically microalgae. Additionally, there is significant interest in the production of lipids from waste streams...

We consider a Yang–Mills theory in loop space with an affine Lie gauge group. The Chapline–Manton coupling, the coupling between Yang–Mills fields and an abelian antisymmetric tensor field of the second rank via the Chern– Simons term, is systematically derived within the framework of the Yang–Mills theory. The generalized Chapline–Manton couplings, the couplings among nonabelian tensor fields ...

The ability of a recent isolate, Tetraselmis sp. CTP4, for nutrient removal from sewage effluents before and after the nitrification process under batch and continuous cultivation was studied. Biomass productivities in both wastewaters were similar under continuous conditions (0.343±0.053gL-1d-1) and nutrient uptake rates were maximal 31.4±0.4mgNL-1d-1 and 6.66±1.57mgP-PO43-L-1d-1 in WW before ...

This study evaluates the nutritional value of several species of freeze-dried microalgae used to feed the seed of Ruditapes decussatus. These microalgae were: Isochrysis galbana, clone T-ISO; Tetraselmis suecica; and Phaeodactylum tricornutum. The addition of antibiotics, kaolin and fresh microalgae to the freeze-dried diet was also evaluated, and a study was made of the nutritional value of on...

Non-Rigid Point Matching: Algorithms, Extensions and Applications Haili Chui Yale University 2001 A new algorithm has been developed in this thesis for the non-rigid point matching problem. Designed as an integrated framework, the algorithm jointly estimates a one-to-one correspondence and a non-rigid transformation between two sets of points. The resulting algorithm is called “robust point mat...

We have screened for in vitro inhibition of viral replication with extracts from the following marine microalgae: Porphyridium cruentum, Phaeodactylum tricornutum, Tetraselmis suecica, Chlorella autotrophica, Dunaliella tertiolecta, Dunaliella bardawil, Isochrysis galbana, Isochrysis galbana var Tiso, Ellipsoidon sp. and Tetraselmis tetrathele. We have used as viral models two enveloped viruses...

Effective sustainable algal cultivation techniques are essential for mass production of the marine microalga Tetraselmis for biofuel and array of co-products. The phycospheric communities affect the microalgal growth and metabolism through various allelochemical and nutrient interactions; hence, their potential to affect the quantity and quality of both biomass and bioproducts is significant. I...

Low hydrocarbon concentrations stimulated the growth of Tetraselmis suecica, whereas higher concentrations (200 ppm) inhibited growth. The content of chlorophyll a in this microalga was affected in a similar way. Crude oil had the most marked effects. Dispersant SEAKLIN-101-NT and mixtures of oil and SEAKLIN-101-NT did not show selective toxicity for the microalga, although inhibitory effects c...
