The characteristics of palm oil mill wastewater (POMW) were brown color, pH 3.8-4.3, temperature 48-55oC, total solids 68.2-82.1 g/l, suspended solids 26.2-65.6 g/l, oil and grease 19.1-25.1 g/l, COD 49.9-160.7g/l and BOD 32.5-75.3 g/l.After centrifugation (3,184 xg) of 50 ml POMW for 10 min, the POMW was separated into 3 layers: top (oil), middle
Coral reefs are exceptionally biodiverse and human dependence on their ecosystem services is high.Reefs experience significant direct and indirect anthropogenic pressures, and provide a sensitive indicator of coastal ocean health, climate change, and ocean acidification, with associated implications for society.Monitoring coral reef status and tren
Conflicts between national and local governments over land use in floodplains have been well documented in the US and elsewhere.The US National Flood Insurance Program offers subsidized flood insurance to communities that agree to prevent further development in floodplains, but the requirements are poorly enforced and local governments are commonly
QUESTIONS UNDER STUDY/PRINCIPLES: Although probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy (pCLE) is on the edge of entering daily practice in gastroenterological endoscopy, findings in the field of respiratory medicine are only rarely reported, keeping pCLE during flexible bronchoscopy as a mere preclinical research tool.Since the endomicroscopic aspect
Longitudinal bunch usc trojans snapback hat shaping is gaining increasing attention due to the large impact it has on modern accelerators.The existing methods for controlling the density profile fall into three categories: laser shaping, emittance exchange, or correlations between the energy and one of the other coordinates.These methods require ei
