THE AESTHETICS OF URBAN METABOLISM: Landscape, Design and the Politics of In/Visibility
Abstract In this article, we chart the evolving aesthetic contours of urban metabolism across London, focusing on the River Lea and Thamesmead to the north and south of the River Thames, respectively. We begin in the nineteenth century, when these two sites formed critical nodes within a new sewerage system that relegated the city’s circulatory flows ...

Cytochrome P450 1A1 influences obesity‐induced pulmonary hypertension
Background and Purpose The contribution of obesity to pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) pathophysiology remains poorly understood. Adipose tissue synthesises estrogens via cytochrome P450 (CYP) 19A1 (aromatase), whereas circulating estrogens are metabolised in the lung by CYP1A1.

Performance evaluation of anoxic and facultative wastewater stabilization ponds
The performance of anoxic and facultative ponds in Jordan was investigated for 12 months. Calculated values of the first order kinetic equation rate for CBOD removal (KCBOD) has resulted in different KCBOD's for different ponds in the same month, at the same temperature.

Intergration of control chart and pattern recognizer for bivariate quality control [PDF]
Monitoring and diagnosis of mean shifts in manufacturing processes become more challenging when involving two or more correlated variables. Unfortunately, most of the existing multivariate statistical process control schemes are only effective in rapid ...

Modelling Nematode Egg Elimination in Wastewater Stabilization Ponds
The paper analyses data on intestinal nematode egg numbers (NNE) taken over a 30-month period in a large wastewater stabilization pond system. The retention time of 8-10 days suggested by WHO as the treatment expected to achieve an effluent with less than 1 nematode egg per litre was not supported by the results.

Facilitated Transport of Organic Contaminants in a High Concentration, Multicomponent Plume
Abstract A field experiment evaluated the transport of organic contaminants in a plume from hazardous waste disposal areas at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal. The plume contained many xenobiotic contaminants, with widely varying expected mobilities.

Evaluation of the Influence of Reactor Design on the Treatment Performance of an Optimized Pilot-Scale Waste Stabilization Pond [PDF]
Waste stabilization pond (WSP) is globally one of the most popular wastewater treatment options due to its high efficiency and low cost. A field scale prototype was designed and scaled down to a pilot-scale model using dimensional analysis in the ...

ABSTRACT In fish, sex determination and gonadal development are controlled by various genetic and environmental factors. In this study, experiments were conducted on the estuarine mummichog (Fundulus heteroclitus) to investigate gonadal differentiation following exposure to the synthetic estrogen, 17α‐ethinylestradiol (EE2).

Degradation of Benzotriazole from aqueous solutions: A synergistic effect of nano- Fe2O3@Alg-TiO2 on UV/Fe2O3@Alg-TiO2 process [PDF]
In this study, the decomposition of BTA was examined using a photocatalytic process (UV/Fe2O3@Alg-TiO2). The effects of various operational parameters such as the initial pH(3-7-10), catalyst dosage (0.05, 0.1, 0.15 g/L), BTA initial concentration (15–45
