Since the development of the activated sludge process in 1913
many attempts have been made to improve it. One approach has been
to increase the oxygen available to the bio-mass. This study combined the use of elevated pressure and high-shear mixing to increase
the oxygen transfer.
The conventional method of...
Acute toxicity bioassays (96-hr TL₅₀) were employed to determine
the tolerance of coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) to inorganic
chloramines at the alevin (yolk sac fry), yolk absorption, and early
juvenile life stages. Any influence of changes in temperature, pH,
and total alkalinity on the tolerance of juvenile coho for chloramines...
Experiments were conducted to determine the effects of
certain plant regulatory chemicals on seed production of
alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.). Two plant regulators, SADH
(succinic acid 2,2-dimethylhydrazide) and TIBA (2,3,5-
triiodobenzoic acid), received particular attention.
Replicated field tests of the plant regulators were
carried out on the cultivar 'Talent' in...
Field and controlled environment chamber studies were carried out
to evaluate modes of action of post-harvest treatments on the development
and seed yield of cool season grasses. Red fescue (Festuca rubra
L.) was used as the primary test species.
There was no difference in total biomass production of red fescue...
