Optimization of Biological Sulphate Reduction to Treat Inorganic Wastewaters Process Control and Potential Use of Methane as Electron Donor

Optimization of Biological Sulphate Reduction to Treat Inorganic Wastewaters Process Control and Potential Use of Methane as Electron Donor

This work investigated two different approaches to optimize biological sulphate reduction in order to develop a process control strategy to optimize the input of an electron donor and to study how to increase the feasibility of using a cheap carbon source. Feast/famine regimes applied to design the control strategy were shown to induce the accumulation of storage compounds in the sulphate reducing biomass. This study showed that delays in the response time and a high control gain can be considered as the most critical factors affecting a sulphide control strategy in bioreactors. The delays are caused by the induction of different metabolic pathways in the anaerobic sludge including the accumulation of storage products. On this basis a mathematical model was developed and validated. This can be used to develop optimal control strategies. In order to understand the microbial pathways in the anaerobic oxidation of methane coupled to sulphate reduction (AOM-SR) diverse potential electron donors and acceptors were added to in vitro incubations of an AOM-SR enrichment at high pressure. Acetate was formed in the control group probably resulting from the reduction of CO2. These results support the hypothesis that acetate may serve as an intermediate in the AOM-SR process. | Optimization of Biological Sulphate Reduction to Treat Inorganic Wastewaters Process Control and Potential Use of Methane as Electron Donor

Rule Protest Identity Aspects of Modern South Asia

Rule Protest Identity Aspects of Modern South Asia

First published in 1978 Rural Protest Identity consists of eleven essays on modern South Asia. Its concern is with the diversity of the region to suggest how its study may be enriched by the juxtaposition of various disciplines and in particular through the examination of familiar subjects from less familiar points of view. Four papers deal with the ruling of modern India. One examines the relationship between the British government and an Indian state one the legal implications of the emergency under Mrs. Gandhi and two the role of civil servants in the formation of Indian government policy. Four more papers deal with aspects of protest movements: one with British Ceylon one with a follower of Gandhi and two with Gandhi himself. Three final papers treat questions of identity from literary or linguistic standpoints. Two discuss ideas or stereotypes as expressed in famous books and the third considers a linguistic movement in Pakistan. This book will be of interest to student of South Asian studies history economics literature and political science. | Rule Protest Identity Aspects of Modern South Asia

Children of Refugees Torture Human Rights and Psychological Consequences

Children of Refugees Torture Human Rights and Psychological Consequences

There is a wide gap between the psychological needs of the children of refugees and the services provided. Refugees' home countries cultures and social make-up are widely diversified and their needs cannot be readily consolidated. This diversity of interest and need goes unacknowledged by the service-providers who may treat them as a single homogenous group. Some refugees' needs are exaggerated while others are ignored. This approach often ignores the justifiable and legitimate interest of refugees' psychological wellbeing. Many children of refugees may struggle with questions of race ethnicity language barriers and other socio-political and economic issues that can influence their mental health and psychological wellbeing. Preoccupations of the child's emotions with those issues therefore have effects on child personality formations. Apart from having an overview of the relevant processes involved in therapeutic work and possible challenges therein it is also important for the therapist to have an overview of the child's situation in the past and any current issues which this book provides. | Children of Refugees Torture Human Rights and Psychological Consequences

Sanity Madness and the Family

Sanity Madness and the Family

In the late 1950s the psychiatrist R. D. Laing and psychoanalyst Aaron Esterson spent five years interviewing eleven families of female patients diagnosed as 'schizophrenic'. Sanity Madness and the Family is the result of their work. Eleven vivid case studies often dramatic and disturbing reveal patterns of affection and fear manipulation and indifference within the family. But it was the conclusions they drew from their research that caused such controversy: they suggest that some forms of mental disorder are only comprehensible within their social and family contexts; their symptoms the manifestations of people struggling to live in untenable situations. Sanity Madness and the Family was met with widespread hostility by the psychiatric profession on its first publication where the prevailing view was to treat psychosis as a medical problem to be solved. Yet it has done a great deal to draw attention to the complex and contested nature of psychosis. Above all Laing and Esterson thought that if you understood the patient's world their apparent madness would become socially intelligible. This Routledge Classics edition includes a new Foreword by Hilary Mantel.

Queer Crimes & Criminal Justice

Queer Crimes & Criminal Justice

The Queer/Sexual minority which interalia includes lesbian gay bisexual and transgender (hereinafter LGBT) people is not a new phenomenon in today’s scenario. LGBT share a particular experience of their own sexual desires as potentially directed toward a person of the same gender. They have transformed these experiences desires and practices into a social identity a sexual orientation which serves as a marker of individual selves and of a group. This study shows that discrimination and abuse from homophobic/transphobic world in which there is full permission to treat LGBT with cruelty makes it difficult for them to maintain a strong sense of well-being and self-esteem. Study reveals that in India LGBT lives are more secretive as they are suppress to come out easily. This book based on study concludes with some strong and viable recommendations which are requisite to ensure safe and proper place to LGBT people in society inculcating humane approach into laws and the criminal justice system. Education and awareness programmes through various means and various places can bring positive changes.

International Conflict and Conflict Management

International Conflict and Conflict Management

This book asks scholars to reexamine international conflict and its management—in order to move the field toward directly theorizing about and examining the interdependence between conflict events and conflict management attempts. Despite decades of work research on international conflict and its management remains siloed in three fundamental ways. First scholars do not thoroughly address international conflict dynamics within studies of conflict management even though the former give rise to the latter. Second existing work generally investigates one conflict management strategy (e. g. mediation) at the expense of others (e. g. adjudication). These strategies however are not independent of one another; they exist on a single menu from which potential third parties choose. Third parties therefore implicitly—if not explicitly—consider and select among the various strategies when deciding how to manage a conflict thereby inviting and incorporating comparisons. Finally researchers tend to treat conflict management efforts—even within the same conflict—as independent events even though some efforts (e. g. adjudication or arbitration) follow and explicitly relate to other earlier efforts (e. g. an earlier negotiation or mediation). In short elements of sequencing and interaction influence conflict management even as scholars rarely consider such elements. This book will be of great value to scholars and researchers of Political Science International Relations and Conflict Management and Resolution. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of International Interactions. | International Conflict and Conflict Management

Notes from the Margins The Gay Analyst's Subjectivity in the Treatment Setting

Notes from the Margins The Gay Analyst's Subjectivity in the Treatment Setting

Much has been written about the impact of gender and sexual orientation on the intersubjective field. Yet remarkably little has been written about the unique dilemmas faced by gay clinicians who treat patients of different genders and sexual orientations. Given the particularities of growing up gay in our culture issues of secrecy shame alienation difference and internalized homophobia necessarily enter into any gay therapist's developmental history. These factors have a shaping impact on the gay analyst's sensibility on the way he learns to listen to his patients. In Notes from the Margins Eric Sherman courageously reveals a wide range of subjective reactions to eight different patients. In detailed clinical vignettes that highlight his thoughts feelings personal history and countertransference struggles he conveys the experiential immediacy of working as an analyst-and more specifically as a gay analyst. Although Sherman is not the first author to write thoughtfully about working in the countertransference he is among the very few to portray analytic work particularly in the working through of enactments as an often untidy affair marked not only by success but also by the blind spots and insecurities that contribute to failure. Notes from the Margins is not only an illuminating overview of the special challenges faced by gay and lesbian analysts but a window to grasping the messy realities intrinsic to the psychotherapeutic process. | Notes from the Margins The Gay Analyst's Subjectivity in the Treatment Setting

Photography and Making Bedouin Histories in the Naqab 1906-2013 An Anthropological Approach

Photography and Making Bedouin Histories in the Naqab 1906-2013 An Anthropological Approach

Introducing a novel anthropological study of photography in the Middle East Emilie Le Febvre takes us to the Naqab Desert where Bedouin use photographs to make and respond to their own histories. She argues Bedouin presentations of the past are selective but increasingly reliant on archival documents such as photographs which spokespersons treat as evidence of their local histories amid escalating tensions in Israel. These practices shape Bedouin visual historicity that is the diverse ways people produce their pasts in the present with images. This book charts these processes through the afterlives of six photographs (c. 1906–2013) as they circulate between the Naqab’s entangled visual economies – a transregional landscape organised by cultural ideals of proximity and assemblages of Bedouin iconography. Le Febvre illustrates how representational contentions associated with tribal civic and Palestinian-Israeli politics influence how images do history work in this society. She concludes Bedouin visual historicity is defined by acts of persuasion during which photographs authenticate alternating history projects. Here Bedouin value photographs not because they evidence singular narratives of the past. Rather the knowledges inscribed by photography are multifarious as they support diverse constructions of history and society with which members mediate a wide range of relationships in southern Israel. This book bridges studies of anthropology photography Palestinian-Israeli politics and Bedouin Middle East history. | Photography and Making Bedouin Histories in the Naqab 1906-2013 An Anthropological Approach

Statistical Thermodynamics Of Surfaces Interfaces And Membranes

Statistical Thermodynamics Of Surfaces Interfaces And Membranes

Understanding the structural and thermodynamic properties of surfaces interfaces and membranes is important for both fundamental and practical reasons. Important applications include coatings dispersants encapsulating agents and biological materials. Soft materials important in the development of new materials and the basis of many biological systems cannot be designed using trial and error methods due to the multiplicity of components and parameters. While these systems can sometimes be analyzed in terms of microscopic mixtures it is often conceptually simpler to regard them as dispersions and to focus on the properties of the internal interfaces found in these systems. The basic physics centers on the properties of quasi-two-dimensional systems embedded in the three-dimensional world thus exhibiting phenomena that do not exist in bulk materials. This approach is the basis behind the theoretical presentation of Statistical Thermodynamics of Surfaces Interfaces and Membranes. The approach adapted allows one to treat the rich diversity of phenomena investigated in the field of soft matter physics (including both colloid/interface science as well as the materials and macromolecular aspects of biological physics) such as interfacial tension the roughening transition wetting interactions between surfaces membrane elasticity and self-assembly. Presented as a set of lecture notes this book is aimed at physicists physical chemists biological physicists chemical engineers and materials scientists who are interested in the statistical mechanics that underlie the macroscopic thermodynamic properties of surfaces interfaces and membranes. This paperback edition contains all the material published in the original hard-cover edition as well as additional clarifications and explanations.
