Harmful Algae Blooms in Drinking Water Removal of Cyanobacterial Cells and Toxins

Harmful algal blooms (HABs) occurring in freshwater and the associated toxins they produce are dangerous to animals and humans. Mitigating the increasing presence of HABs presents a major challenge to water managers and drinking water utilities across the world. This book explores the current research on removal of HABs and toxins from drinking water. It provides the necessary tools so that treatment plant operators engineers and water managers can understand the vulnerability of drinking water treatment plants to HABs and develop treatment processes to minimize the impact of these contaminants. Although conventional treatment processes can be effective for the removal of HAB cells and some HAB toxins under optimal conditions the potential exists for significant breakthrough of toxins during normal operation. As a result there is a recognized need for more advanced techniques. Possible advanced processes for removing HAB toxins include granular activated carbon (GAC) powdered activated carbon (PAC) or oxidative processes. This book reviews both conventional and advanced treatment processes and presents clear and easy-to-understand procedures for the design of systems for optimal cell or toxin removal. | Harmful Algae Blooms in Drinking Water Removal of Cyanobacterial Cells and Toxins

Manganese Removal from Groundwater Role of Biological and Physico-Chemical Autocatalytic Processes

In The Netherlands Belgium and other European countries manganese is removed by conventional groundwater treatment with aeration and rapid (sand) filtration. Such a treatment process is easy to operate cost effective and sustainable because it does not make use of strong oxidants such as O3 Cl2 ClO2 and KMnO4 with the associated risk of by-product formation and over or under dosing. However application of aeration-filtration is also facing drawbacks especially the long ripening time of filter media. Due to the long ripening time water companies have to waste large volumes of treated water making this process less sustainable. Also costs associated with filter media ripening (man power electricity operational and analysis costs) are high. Therefore decreasing the filter ripening time regarding manganese removal is a big issue. Although already extended research has been carried out into manganese removal the controlling mechanisms especially of the start up face of filter media ripening are not fully understood yet. The emphasis of this thesis is to provide a better understanding of the mechanisms involved in the ripening of virgin filter media regarding manganese removal and how to shorten or completely eliminate the long ripening period of filters with virgin material. This thesis therefore highlights the role of the formation of a manganese oxide coating on virgin filter media. Characterization and identification revealed that the responsible manganese oxide for an effective manganese removal was Birnessite. It was found that Birnessite formed at the beginning of the ripening process was of a biological origin. Based on the knowledge that manganese removal in conventional groundwater treatment is initiated biologically long ripening times may be reduced by creating conditions favouring the growth of manganese oxidizing bacteria e. g. by limiting the back wash frequency and / or intensity. Additionally this thesis also shows that the use of freshly prepared manganese oxide containing Birnessite can completely eliminate filter media ripening time. | Manganese Removal from Groundwater Role of Biological and Physico-Chemical Autocatalytic Processes

Removal of the Property Qualification for Voting in the United States Strategy and Suffrage

In Colonial America democracy was centered in provincial assemblies and based on the collection of neighbors whose freehold ownership made them permanent stakeholders in the community. The removal of the property qualification for voting in the United States occurred over three-quarters of a century and was among the more important events in the history of democratization functioning to shift voting from a corporate privilege toward a human right. Moving beyond the standard histories of property standard histories of property qualification removal Justin Moeller and Ronald F. King adopt the theories and methods of social science to discover underlying patterns and regularities attempting a more systematic understanding of subject. While no historical event has a single cause party consolidation and party competition provided a necessary mechanism making background factors politically relevant. No change in franchise rules could occur without the explicit consent of incumbent politicians always sensitive to the anticipated impact. Moeller and King argue that political parties acted strategically accepting or rejecting removal of the property qualification as a means of advancing their electoral position. The authors identify four different variants of the strategic calculation variable significantly helping to explain both the temporal differences across states and the pattern of contestation with each state individually. | Removal of the Property Qualification for Voting in the United States Strategy and Suffrage

Fluoride Removal from Groundwater by Adsorption Technology

In the Eastern corridor of Northern region of Ghana presence of high fluoride concentration in the groundwater has made many drilled boreholes unusable for drinking. Little is however known about the factors contributing to the occurrence of high fluoride in this part of Ghana and it’s spatial distribution. Treatment of the fluoride-contaminated groundwater by adsorption is also hampered by the lack of suitable adsorbents that are locally available. Based on principal component analysis and saturation indices calculations this thesis highlights that the predominant mechanisms controlling the fluoride enrichment probably include calcite precipitation and Na/Ca exchange processes both of which deplete Ca from the groundwater and promote the dissolution of fluorite. The mechanisms also include F-/OH- anion exchange processes as well as evapotranspiration processes which concentrate the fluoride ions hence increasing its concentration in the groundwater. Spatial mapping showed that the high fluoride groundwaters occur predominantly in the Saboba Cheriponi and Yendi districts. The thesis further highlights that modifying the surface of indigenous materials by an aluminium coating process is a very promising approach to develop a suitable fluoride adsorbent. Aluminum oxide coated media reduced fluoride in water from 5. 0 ± 0. 2 mg/L to ≤ 1. 5 mg/L (which is the WHO health based guideline for fluoride) in both batch and continuous flow column experiments in the laboratory. Kinetic and isotherm studies thermodynamic calculations as well as analytical results from Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy suggest the mechanism of fluoride adsorption onto aluminium oxide coated media involved both physisorption and chemisorption processes. Field testing in a fluoritic community in Northern Ghana showed that the adsorbent is also capable of treating fluoride-contaminated groundwater in field conditions suggesting it is a promising defluoridation adsorbent. The adsorbent also showed good regenerability potential that would allow re-use which could make it practically and economically viable. Additional research is however required to further increase the fluoride adsorption capacity of developed adsorbent. | Fluoride Removal from Groundwater by Adsorption Technology

Autotrophic Nitrogen Removal from Low Concentrated Effluents Study of System Configurations and Operational Features for Post-treatment of A

This book reports the first systematic monitoring and modelling study on water availability water quality and seawater intrusion of the Shatt al-Arab River (SAR) on the border of Iraq and Iran where causes and concentration levels of salinity have not yet been fully understood let alone addressed leading to conflicting perceptions of its origin (external or internal) the natural conditions and the practices that can explain the current critical conditions. Current scientific knowledge on the SAR salinity problem is deficient partially due to the complex and dynamic interaction between marine and terrestrial salinity sources including return flows by water users of the different water sectors in the Euphrates and Tigris rivers upstream of the SAR. The development of a new series of monitoring stations and various modelling approaches helped to better understand the interactions between these different sources. The comprehensive and detailed dataset formed the basis for a validated analytical model that can predict the extent of seawater relative to other salinity sources in an estuary and for a hydrodynamic model that can predict salinity changes. The adaptability of the models to changing conditions makes them directly applicable by water managers. The procedure can be applied to other comparable systems. | Autotrophic Nitrogen Removal from Low Concentrated Effluents Study of System Configurations and Operational Features for Post-treatment of A

When Cats Reigned Like Kings On the Trail of the Sacred Cats

In her fascinating exploration of feline history Georgie Anne Geyer explores the connections between the royal and sacred felines of ancient civilizations and the beloved domestic cats of today. Chasing an irresistible mystery across the globe Geyer conducts exhaustive research into the little-known puzzle of how cats came to occupy their unique position in the lives of humans. Treated with the tenacity resourcefulness and narrative instinct of a seasoned foreign correspondent the investigation yields unexpected answers and poses tantalizing new questions. It was Geyer's curiosity about her own cats that inspired her to study the history of human-feline relations and especially the exalted status of cats among the ancients as royal or sacred beings. In Egypt Geyer learned of the cat-goddess Bastet and of the cat's role in the transmigration of souls. In Myanmar she saw Leonardo DiCaprio Ricky Martin and the other incongruously named cats of the Nga Phe Kyaung monastery trained by the monks to jump through hoops. She even met a family who dutifully guards the heritage of the Japanese Bobtail cultivating the line in of all places rural Virginia. Richly illustrated with photographs of Geyer's journeys and historical cat images When Cats Reigned Like Kings describes forty-one recognized modern cat breeds plus other popular cats. Every cat lover can thus trace his or her cat to these breeds and their many relatives. The result is a remarkable book bound to delight and amaze cat fanciers and adventure seekers. | When Cats Reigned Like Kings On the Trail of the Sacred Cats

Cognitive Analytic Therapy and the Politics of Mental Health

Cognitive Analytic Therapy and the Politics of Mental Health provides an overview of the development of cognitive analytic therapy (CAT) and illuminates how the political context affects the way in which therapists consider their work and facilitates their practice. This book examines how CAT contributes to wider debates over ‘the politics of mental health’. With contributions from those working in services – including adult mental health learning disabilities and child and adolescent therapists – the writers consider how contemporary politics devolves responsibility for mental illness onto those suffering distress. The evolving political and social attitudes clients bring to therapy are also addressed in several chapters and there is a focus on groups in society who have been marginalized and neglected in mental and physical health services. Cognitive Analytic Therapy and the Politics of Mental Health offers a fresh understanding of the contemporary politics of mental health that will be of interest to all therapists and mental health professionals.

Comprehensive Aphasia Test

The Comprehensive Aphasia Test (CAT) is a test for use with people who have acquired aphasia that can be completed over one or two assessment sessions. The test includes a user manual a cognitive screen and language battery and a scoring booklet which are all unchanged since the previous edition and - new to this release - a concise Aphasia Impact Questionnaire which replaces the Disability Questionnaire. The cognitive section assesses people's abilities across a range of task that can affect rehabilitation. Forming the main body of the test the language battery provides a profile of performance across all modalities of language production and comprehension. The Aphasia Impact Questionnaire is a pictorial Patient Reported Outcome Measure which produces both qualitative and quantitative information. It was co-produced with people with aphasia. It supports the person with aphasia to give a subjective rating of how language difficulties identified in the Language Battery affect their daily life enabling first steps towards goal setting. By capturing this information the CAT helps the therapist track changes over the course of recovery and provides a guide to likely outcomes on the basis of an early assessment. The first two sections of the CAT are supported by normative data on people both with and without aphasia and extensive data on reliability and clinical validity. The CAT allows users to: Identify underlying impairments Find where to focus assessments using PALPA and other batteries Ascertain the practical psychological and social impact of aphasia from the perceptive of the person with aphasia Create a profile of strengths and weaknesses to guide therapy. Structured around fully up-to-date models of language assessment from cognitive neuropsychology to patient reported outcome measures test is an indispensable resource for speech and language therapists and researchers. It provides as much information about people's language ability as possible in a relatively brief test designed to be completed in 90-120 minutes.

Grothendieck Construction of Bipermutative-Indexed Categories

The Grothendieck construction provides an explicit link between indexed categories and opfibrations. It is a fundamental concept in category theory and related fields with far-reaching applications. Bipermutative categories are categorifications of rings. They play a central role in algebraic K-theory and infinite loop space theory. This monograph is a detailed study of the Grothendieck construction over a bipermutative category in the context of categorically enriched multicategories with new and important applications to inverse K-theory and pseudo symmetric E∞-algebras. After carefully recalling preliminaries in enriched categories bipermutative categories and enriched multicategories we show that the Grothendieck construction over a small tight bipermutative category is a pseudo symmetric Cat-multifunctor and generally not a Cat-multifunctor in the symmetric sense. Pseudo symmetry of Cat-multifunctors is a new concept we introduce in this work. The following features make it accessible as a graduate text or reference for experts: Complete definitions and proofs Self-contained background. Parts of Chapters 1–3 7 9 and 10 contain background material from the research literature Extensive cross-references Connections between chapters.
