Overview and Analysis of Public Sewerage System Maintenance: Case Study Republic of Croatia

Engineering Proceedings
The sewerage system is a vital part of the infrastructure in every settlement, and thus, of the state itself. It ensures the conveyance of sanitary wastewater from its sources (households, buildings and industrial facilities) and stormwater from urban ...

Synergistic Advanced Oxidation and Physicochemical Treatment Strategies for Antibiotic Removal and Resistance Mitigation in Water

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The presence of antibiotics in water not only causes environmental pollution but also increases the growth of antibiotic‐resistant bacterial genes, which pose serious threats to human beings and other water residents. Large numbers of people are reportedly affected by the resistant bacterial genes, as many broad‐spectrum antibiotics are not ...

Evaluation of Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Sludge Characteristics in Typical AAO Process WWTPs in Taihu Lake Basin, China

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigated sludge characteristics and greenhouse gas (GHG) emission from 16 anaerobic‐anoxic‐oxic (AAO) process wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), 11 municipal and 5 industrial WWTPs, located in the Taihu Lake Basin, China. Influent/effluent water quality, sludge properties, operational parameters, GHG emission patterns, and ...

Additives Enhancing Biodegradability in Plastics and Potential Implications for Textiles: A Mechanistic Review

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Mechanistic insights from additive‐assisted plastic degradation guide the design of environmentally adaptive textile fibers. Functional additives enhance oxidative, hydrolytic, enzymatic, and microbial degradation pathways. Translating these strategies requires control of fiber architecture, additive distribution, and environmental interactions ...

Influence of Returned Water from Sludge Treatment and Return Activated Sludge on 2-Methylisoborneol and Geosmin Behaviors and Concentrations during Wastewater Treatment

Journal of Water and Environment Technology
Compounds such as 2-methylisoborneol (2-MIB) and geosmin present in the final effluents of wastewater treatment plants may affect water treatment in downstream areas. To reduce the concentrations of 2-MIB and geosmin, we investigated the influence of the

Paleopathology of a putative colossosaurian caudal vertebra (Neosauropoda: Titanosauria) from the Presidente Prudente Formation, Brazil

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Studies investigating paleopathologies in sauropods remain scarce despite their relative abundance in the fossil record. In this study we report new occurrence of paleopathological features, corresponding to a neoplasm found in a middle caudal vertebra (MCT.R.2120) of an advanced titanosaur from the Presidente Prudente Formation (Bauru Basin ...

Drivers of tail evolution in squamates and their implications for the fossorial origin of snakes

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The axial skeleton serves as the primary structural support in all vertebrates and is subdivided into five distinct regions: cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral, and caudal. Relaxation of constraints acting on the terminal end of the axial skeleton has led to remarkable variation in caudal vertebrae number across Squamata.
