Emission Spectroscopy During High-Current Anode Modes in Vacuum Arc
Authors: Khakpour A. , Methling R. , Franke St. , Gortschakow S. , Uhrlandt D.
Published: July 2018

A vacuum interrupter reaches its interruption limit once high-current anode phenomena occur. High-current anode modes lead to an increase of the anode surface temperature and an increased generation of metal vapor, which may result in a weakening of the dielectric recovery strength after current zero. In this work, different discharge modes in a vacuum arc for AC 50 Hz including diffuse, footpoint, anode spot type 1 and type 2, and anode plume are investigated. Electrodes made of CuCr7525 with diameter of 10 mm are used. The final gap length is about 20 mm. Time and space resolved optical emission spectroscopy is used to examine the temporal and spatial distribution of atomic and ionic copper lines. The distribution of atomic and ionic lines parallel and perpendicular to the anode surface is investigated. Radiator density is also determined for CuI, CuII, and CuIII near the anode surface.
Patrimonio industrial en Magallanes
Authors: Valenzuela Blossin Arq. Maria Paz
Published: July 2018

Hacia fines del siglo xix se consolida la explotación de la ganadería ovina en Chile, teniendo como escenario la región de Magallanes. De esta manera es colonizado el vasto territorio austral en la acción de las estancias ovejeras, instalando un modelo de explotación ganadera a la par con lo que ocurría en todo el planeta, surtiendo al mundo industrializado de materias primas para la producción de textiles.

El desarrollo de estos procesos, consolidada la explotación lanar, hizo que los empresarios del rubro buscaran nuevas derivaciones a la producción ovina. Nace de esta manera la industria frigorífica en la Patagonia la que dará servicios a todas las estancias del extremo austral del continente, haciendo propia la tecnología del frío, en ciernes en el mundo.

Además de la singular arquitectura de estos conjuntos, habrá otro aporte: la generación de procesos industriales complejos que superan la sola producción de materia prima, siendo los frigoríficos un caso de vanguardia en el ámbito industrial chileno, que a la fecha se caracterizaba mayoritariamente por la extracción y producción de materias primas. Estancias ovejeras y frigoríficos serán el aporte de Magallanes a la industrialización en Chile.
Proyectar futuro reutilizando pasado
Authors: Giusto Arq. Agostina Maria
Published: July 2018

El patrimonio industrial constituye un legado reciente fuertemente influenciado por las modificaciones urbanas, sociales y culturales que se sucedieron desde mediados del siglo XIX a partir de la incorporación de nuevas tecnologías –generalmente en manos de capitales privados extranjeros- para el desarrollo de la industria.

Este proceso comenzó a ser reemplazado por otras formas de industrialización desde mediados del siglo XX, intensificándose a lo largo de la década de 1990 -de fuertes características neoliberales- culminando en  la obsolescencia y/o el abandono de aquellos sitios y sus instalaciones industriales: muelles portuarios, fábricas, galpones, usinas, estaciones ferroviarias, por nombrar sólo algunos.

El presente artículo de reflexión intenta profundizar en la idea de patrimonio industrial como proceso histórico-cultural, pieza fundamental de la memoria colectiva e identidad de una sociedad. Entendiéndolo como legado a preservar, el abordaje del caso de la Usina Ingeniero White –luego llamada General San Martin- se presenta como representativa no sólo de un proceso de auge y posterior degradación, sino también como proyecto de recuperación. En este sentido, otorgarle una “segunda vida” a las piezas del patrimonio industrial a partir de su reutilización supone un análisis que deberá poner en consideración la adaptación del sitio a los requerimientos actuales intentando –a su vez- conservar su autenticidad.

The natural microbial consortium from many sources widely used for hydrogen production. Type of substrate and operating conditions applied on the biodigesters of the natural consortium used as inoculum impact the variation of species and number of microbes that induce biogas formation, so this study examined the effect of different inoculum source and its combination of biohydrogen production performance. The hydrogen producing bacteria from fruit waste digester (FW), cow dung digester (CD), and tofu waste digester (TW) enriched under strictly anaerobic conditions at 37OC. Inoculums from 3 different digesters (FW, CD, and TW) and its combination (FW-CD, CD-TW, FW-TW, and FW-CD-TW) were used to test the hydrogen production from melon waste with volatile solids (VS) concentration of 9.65 g/L, 37°C and initial pH 7.05 ± 0.05. The results showed that individual and combined inoculum produced the gas comprising hydrogen and carbon dioxide without any detectable methane. The highest cumulative hydrogen production of 743 mL (yield 207.56 mL/gVS) and 1,132 mL (yield 231.02 mL/gVS) was shown by FW and FW-CD-TW, respectively. Butyric, acetate, formic and propionic were the primary soluble metabolites produced by all the cultures, and the result proves that higher production of propionic acid can decrease hydrogen yield. Clostridium perfringens and Clostridium baratii prominently seen in all single and combination inoculum. Experimental evidence suggests that the inoculum from different biodigesters able to adapt well to the environmental conditions and the new substrate after a combination process as a result of metabolic flexibility derived from the microbial diversity in the community to produce hydrogen. Therefore, inoculum combination could be used as a strategy to improve systems for on-farm energy recovery from animal and plant waste to processing of food and municipal waste.Article History: Received February 5th 2018; Received in revised form May 7th 2018; Accepted June 2nd 2018; Available onlineHow to Cite This Article: Amekan, Y., Wangi, D.S.A.P., Cahyanto, M.N., Sarto and Widada, J.

Published: July 2018

Solar energy is derived from photons of light coming from the sun in a form called radiation. Solar energy finds extensive application in air and water heating, solar cooking, as well as electrical power generation, depending on the way of capturing, converting and distribution. To enable such application, it is necessary to analyze the horizontal tilt angle of horizontal surfaces – in order that when the solar energy reaches the earth surface to be completely absorbed. This paper tends to describe the availability of solar radiation for south-facing flat surfaces. The optimal monthly, seasonal, and annual tilt angles have been estimated for Pristina. The solar radiation received by the incident plane is estimated based on isotropic sky analysis models, namely Liu and Jordan model. The annual optimum tilt angle for Pristina was found to be 34.7°. The determination of annual solar energy gains is done by applying the optimal monthly, seasonal and annual tilt angles for an inclined surface compared to a horizontal surface. Monthly, seasonal and annual percentages of solar energy gains have been estimated to be 21.35%, 19.98%, and 14.43%. Losses of solar energy were estimated by 1.13 % when a surface was fixed at a seasonal optimum tilt angle, and when it was fixed at an annual optimum tilt angle, those losses were 5.7%.Article History: Received February 15th 2018; Received in revised form May 12th 2018; Accepted June 2nd 2018; Available onlineHow to Cite This Article: Berisha, Xh., Zeqiri, A. and Meha, D.  (2018) Determining the Optimum Tilt Angles to Maximize the Incident Solar Radiation - Case of Study Pristina.

From the last decade, there is an increase in the demand of electricity, this will causing depletion in the fossil fuels which results increase in cost. So the focus is shifted to use of renewable energy sources along with the only utility grid but it is not sufficient to supply the power different loads. To overcome these problems, micro-grid (MG) is introduced and it is powered by renewable distributed generation (DG) systems, such as, micro turbines, fuel cells, PV and wind generation due to the limited fossil fuel. Out of the above sources, solar energy provides extraordinary benefits including environmental friendly, surplus availability and low installation cost due to the advanced technology and mass production. The solar grid connected micro inverters gain lot of intention in past few years due to its simple construction, reliability and endurability. Moreover, the grid connected micro inverter has high reliability and it can operate in abnormal conditions also like variations in voltage and current. The micro-inverter has attracted recent market success due to unique features such as lower installation cost, improved energy harvesting, and improved system efficiency. This article gives detailed review on different topologies for grid connected solar PV micro-inverter and suggests the reliable, suitable and efficient topology for micro-inverter.Article History: Received Dec 16th 2017; Received in revised form May 14th 2018; Accepted June 1st 2018; Available onlineHow to Cite This Article: Premkumar, M., Karthick, K and Sowmya, R.

Investigation of the mirrored-word reading paradigm for BCI implementation
Authors: Harnarinesingh Randy E.S. , Syan Chanan S.
Published: July 2018

Brain-computer interface (BCI) applications such as keyboard control and vehicular navigation present significant assistive merit for disabled individuals. However, there are limitations associated with BCI paradigms which restrict a wider adoption of BCI technology. For example, rapid serial visual presentation (RSVP) paradigms can induce seizures in photosensitive epileptic subjects. This paper evaluates the novel mirrored-word reading paradigm (MWRP) for BCI implementation using an offline experimental study. The offline study obtained an average single-trial classification accuracy of 74.10%. The results also demonstrate that the use of multiple trials for classification can increase the accuracy as is common with BCIs. The developed MWRP-based BCI also utilized a low presentation frequency which averts the possibility of paradigm induced photosensitivity. However, there are multiple avenues for future work. The MWRP can be implemented in the online format for real-time device control. For example, a vehicular application platform can be used where the word orientation represents directions for travel. The MWRP can also be investigated across a wider range of stimulus presentation parameters such as timing, color and stimulus size. Such studies can be used to suggest further improvements to the paradigm which can enhance its applicability for online device control.
Modulation of TORC2 Signaling by a Conserved Lkb1 Signaling Axis in Budding Yeast
Authors: Alcaide-Gavilán Maria , Lucena Rafael , Schubert Katherine A , Artiles Karen L , Zapata Jessica , Kellogg Douglas R
Published: July 2018

Nutrient availability, growth rate, and cell size are closely linked. For example, in budding yeast, the rate of cell growth is proportional to nutrient availability, cell size is proportional to growth rate, and growth rate is proportional to cell size. Thus, cells grow slowly in poor nutrients and are nearly half the size of cells growing in rich nutrients. Moreover, large cells grow faster than small cells. A signaling network that surrounds TOR kinase complex 2 (TORC2) plays an important role in enforcing these proportional relationships. Cells that lack components of the TORC2 network fail to modulate their growth rate or size in response to changes in nutrient availability. Here, we show that budding yeast homologs of the Lkb1 tumor suppressor kinase are required for normal modulation of TORC2 signaling in response to changes in carbon source. Lkb1 kinases activate Snf1/AMPK to initiate transcription of genes required for utilization of poor carbon sources. However, Lkb1 influences TORC2 signaling via a novel pathway that is independent of Snf1/AMPK. Of the three Lkb1 homologs in budding yeast, Elm1 plays the most important role in modulating TORC2. Elm1 activates a pair of related kinases called Gin4 and Hsl1. Previous work found that loss of Gin4 and Hsl1 causes cells to undergo unrestrained growth during a prolonged mitotic arrest, which suggests that they play a role in linking cell cycle progression to cell growth. We found that Gin4 and Hsl1 also control the TORC2 network. In addition, Gin4 and Hsl1 are themselves influenced by signals from the TORC2 network, consistent with previous work showing that the TORC2 network constitutes a feedback loop. Together, the data suggest a model in which the TORC2 network sets growth rate in response to carbon source, while also relaying signals via Gin4 and Hsl1 that set the critical amount of growth required for cell cycle progression. This kind of close linkage between control of cell growth and size would suggest a simple mechanistic explanation for the proportional relationship between cell size and growth rate.

The aim of this article is to research the functions of urban place names which are used in social satires titled, Strolling along in Vilnius (1924–1927), by Czeslaw Jankowski (1857–1929), a famous Polish poet and essayist. The material of the research are social satires which render 150 names of streets, squares, residential areas, buildings and other objects found in the city of Vilnius. Descriptive and interpretive methods have been used in the article. Urban place names are analysed while focusing on (1) place (referential), (2) identifying (characterizing), (3) metaphorical, (4) allusive and (5) organisational (stylistic) functions. Place names used in publicist writing permit to localise the events described and to decipher the author’s attitude to the objects described. The reader can restore the author’s worldview, understand metaphors and allusions created with the help of place names, and assess the use of place names conditioned by the peculiarities of the genre.

The purpose of the article is to separate and describe the the substantive usage of adjectives and participles utilized in the oldest Slavonic translation of the Book of Exodus in comparison with the Greek original and the so-called “Old Bulgarian Canon”. Denomi­nations of persons and denominations of abstract and concrete concepts are successively considered. The presented material shows that on one hand the substantive usage of ad­jectives and participles depends very heavily on the Greek text. On the other hand, it is not unfamiliar to the Old Bulgarian. The substantive usage of adjectives and participles (including multi-word formations) takes an important part in the vocabulary of the Book of Exodus and has to be specially allocated in the dictionary of this book, as well as in the historical dictionary of the Bulgarian language.
Presidential Threshold Between the Threshold of Candidacy and Threshold of Electability
Authors: Suparto Suparto
Published: July 2018

Abstract. In judicial review on Article 9 of Law Number 42 of 2008 on The Election of President and Vice-President which regulates Presidential threshold, the Constitutional Court refused on the grounds that it is an open legal policy which mandated by Article 6 paragraph (5) of the 1945 Constitution that the administration of the election of President and Vice-President will be further regulated in a Law. This reasoning is insufficient because Article 6 paragraph (5) regulates procedures (phases of the process), not requirements for candidates of President and Vice President to be eligible on participating in the election. Moreover Article 9 of Law Number 42 of 2008 has the potential to expand the norms as stipulated in Article 6A paragraph (2) of the 1945 Constitution that the candidates for President and Vice President shall be nominated by a political party or coalition of political parties participating in the election before the election without any other frills (the threshold). Keywords: Presidential Election, Presidential Threshold  Abstrak.

Argumentasi tersebut kurang tepat karena Pasal 6 ayat (5) mengatur tata laksananya (proses tahapan pelaksanaan) bukan persyaratan bagi pasangan calon Presiden dan Wakil Presiden untuk menjadi peserta pemilu. Selain itu, Pasal 9 Undang-Undang Nomor 42 Tahun 2008 tersebut berpotensi memperluas norma sebagaimana yang diatur dalam Pasal 6A ayat (2) Undang-Undang Dasar Negara Republik Indonesia Tahun 1945 bahwa pasangan calon Presiden dan Wakil Presiden diusulkan oleh partai politik atau gabungan partai politik  peserta pemilu sebelum pemilu  tanpa adanya embel-embel lain (adanya ambang batas).Kata kunci: Pemilu Presiden, Presidential Threshold.

Abstract: The impact of the development of Sharia Banking System in Indonesia has led to the establishment of Sharia Supervisory Board and the National Sharia Board. Each institution has a different role. As for the DSN which is an institution under the Indonesian Council of Ulama has the authority in regulating the fatwa (a binding rule in religion) of Islamic financial fatwa which later can be referred as the reference of sharia banking actors, so that this role will close the chance of legal uncertainty in the world of Syariah banking. This is as the rule: "Judge's law eliminates dissent.” Herein lies the significant presence of the National Sharia Board. So that the legislative efforts of DSN-MUI fatwa are an Islamic political stance that seeks to convince that Islamic law can not be separated from the state. Therefore, the legislation of the DSN-MUI fatwa is a necessity for the Muslim community of IndonesiaKeywords: Legislation, National Economy, National Sharia Board. Abstrak: Dampak perkembangan Sistem Perbankan Syariah di Indonesia menimbulkan adanya kebijakan pembentukan Dewan Pengawas Syariah dan Dewan Syariah Nasional.

Published: July 2018

AbstractThe growth of franchise business is so fast in Indonesia, involving many local businessmen and foreign businessmen who act as franchisor and franchiser. The development of the franchise business is greatly influenced by the protection of the law by the state. Currently, the legal protection of franchise business activities in Indonesia is regulated in Government Regulation no. 42 of 2007 concerning Franchise and Regulation of the Ministry of Trade of the Republic of Indonesia No. 57/M-DAG/PER/9/2014 concerning Franchise Operation. The role of local government to the local franchise and franchise business activities is very helpful to increase franchise activities to be advanced and as one source of local revenue. The importance of the attention of local governments in the issue of franchise business arrangement is a concrete manifestation of the spirit of regional autonomy. The implementation of regional autonomy focuses more on the role of regional level II (regency/city) as the spearhead of development. From that, coaching and legal supervision on franchise business is the most important part of the implementation of government regulations and trade minister regulations as a form of government concern to the uniqueness of franchise businesses that have distinctive characteristics of business in general.Keywords: Franchise, Local Government, Coaching, Supervision  Abstrak Pertumbuhan bisnis waralaba begitu pesat di Indonesia, melibatkan banyak pengusaha lokal dan pengusaha asing yang berperan sebagai pemberi waralaba dan penerima waralaba.

Published: July 2018

Dolphins are one of the most interesting cetacean types included in family Delphinidae or known as the oceanic dolphins from genus Stenella sp. and Tursiops sp. Migration and abundance of dolphins are affected by the presence of food and oceanographic conditions. The purpose of this research is to determine the composition and distribution of dolphins in relation to the water quality parameters. Benefits of this research are expected to provide information on the relationship between distributions of the family Delphinidae cetacean (oceanic dolphins) and oceanographic conditions. The method for this research is descriptive exploratory, with models onboard tracking survey. Field observations were done in November 2015 and period of March-April 2016 outside and inside Savu Sea National Marine Park waters. The sighting of dolphin in November and March-April found as much seven species: bottlenose dolphin, fraser’s dolphin, pantropical spotted dolphin, risso’s dolphin, rough-toothed dolphin, spinner dolphin and stripped dolphin. The highest species distribution noted in the Savu Sea is spinner dolphin, pantropical spotted dolphin, rough-toothed dolphin and frazer’s dolphin. The existence of dolphins in Savu Sea is more related with sea surface temperature than others oceanographic parameters. This condition is suspected due to the influence of sea surface temperature to body temperature of dolphin especially for foraging activities. The habit of dolphin is more active around Sumba Island and Daratan Timor waters while in the evening the animal is usually going to Manggarai and Rote Ndao Islands waters to rest.
Layered double hydroxides modify the reaction of sodium silicate-activated slag cements

Published: July 2018

The impact of adding two types of layered double hydroxides (LDHs), commercial hydrotalcite (HT) and its thermally treated form (CLDH), on the reaction kinetics and phase assemblage development of a sodium silicate-activated slag cement was investigated. The reaction kinetics of LDH-modified cements was assessed by isothermal calorimetry, and the results were correlated with in situ attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy results collected over the first days of reaction, to identify the structural evolution of the main binding phase forming in these cements: a sodium-containing calcium aluminosilicate hydrate (C-(N)-A-S-H)-type gel. The addition of either HT or CLDH into sodium silicate-activated slag paste accelerates the precipitation of reaction products and increases the formation of HT in these cements, without causing significant changes to the C-(N)-A-S-H binding phase. This is extremely relevant in terms of the durability of alkali-activated slag cements, as a higher content of the HT-like phase has the potential to reduce their chloride permeability and enhance carbonation resistance.
Engineering innovations in Canada’s public–private partnerships
Authors: Yuan Xian-Xun , Zhang Jing
Published: July 2018

Public–private partnerships (PPPs) have long been touted as an innovative project delivery method that encourages technological innovation and chases delivery efficiency. However, literature based on European PPP practices seems to provide conflicting evidence. To help better understand and further improve this prevailing delivery method, this study collected and analysed empirical evidence of engineering innovations that have been successfully used in existing PPP projects in Canada. Drawing on literature review and an intensive interview programme involving 19 interviewees from 15 successful PPP projects, the study answered the what, who, when, why and how questions about innovation in PPPs. The study concluded that the PPP delivery system does provide unique innovation opportunities and scope that traditional delivery models cannot support. Performance-based output specifications, vertical integration and communication are the three key areas for improvements to enhance innovation in PPPs further.
Experimental study of shear behaviour of concrete-encased non-prismatic girder with CSWs
Authors: Deng Wenqin , Zhang Jiandong , Zhou Man , Liu Duo , Hu Jun
Published: July 2018

In a large-span continuous and rigid non-prismatic girder bridge with corrugated steel webs (CSWs), a large shear force is produced at the intermediate supports, which are usually concrete-encased to improve the shear performance of the CSWs. To study the shearing behaviour of a non-prismatic girder bridge with CSWs with concrete encasement (CSWC), experimental and analytical models were investigated. Experimental results show that concrete encasement contributes to the prevention of local buckling in CSWs; moreover, shear stress was found to be reduced by approximately 45% with the help of concrete encasement. The results also reveal that the theoretical ratios of shear force are in good agreement with the experimental results in the elastic stage and that the shear ratio of the CSWs increases rapidly with load, while that of the concrete-encased structures decreases, owing to yielding of the CSWs after cracking of the concrete encasement; the shear ratio of the CSWs then decreases with an increase in load, while that of the concrete-encased structures increases again after the CSWs yield. Finally, a reasonably thick concrete encasement that can effectively resist shear force is recommended, based on the analytical equations examined in this study.

Authors: Umarusman Nurullah
Published: July 2018

Every system in nature evolved in order to carry on their existence and reach their targets with minimal losses. The fundamental condition of a system’s success lies on making the correct decision by evaluating multiple, complicated, and conflicting goals based on the present constraints. Many mathematical programming problems are make up of objective functions combined by the decision maker based on the constrains. This study investigates how an optimal design can be reached based on Minmax approach. Goal Programming and a Fuzzy Goal Programming known as MA approach are used in this study. The solution of a problem organized as a Multiple De novo programming in order to determine the resource amounts for a business in handcrafts is carried out based on these two approaches. Budget constrain is organized as a goal to solve the problem based on MA approach, and a solution is proposed accordingly. The acquired results suggest that the solution results of Minmax Goal Programming and MA approach are the same.

Published: July 2018

Young people in Ghana, like young people globally, need access to information and services to have safe, healthy sexual and reproductive lives. Young people in Ghana, though, face a number of challenges accessing the sexual and reproductive health information and services they need, as evidenced by high levels of unmet need for family planning, early pregnancy and childbirth, and unsafe abortion. This project aims to explore the internal and external determinants of contraception use and use of services that address early/teen pregnancy, unintended pregnancy, and unsafe abortion among youth in Accra. To do this, we plan to perform a cross-sectional survey with 250 sexually active females and 100 sexually active males aged 18-24 years living in Accra-Tema. If we are able to secure additional funding, we also plan to perform four focus group discussions (8-12 participants each) with sexually active females aged 18-24 years on determinants of reproductive health care utilization so as to get a more nuanced understanding of these issues and the survey findings. Participants of both study components will be recruited from 1-2 low- and middle-income communities in Accra-Tema. The findings of this study will help service providers to tailor programs to better meet the needs of young people in urban Ghana. This project is being conducted by Ibis Reproductive Health, the University of Ghana School of Public Health, and Marie Stopes International/Marie Stopes International Ghana (MSI/MSIG).
Risk-adapted approach to prostate cancer screening
Authors: Kirichek A. A. , Lyubchenko L. N. , Matveev V. B.
Published: July 2018

Mass prostatic specific antigen (PSA) testing (population-based PSA screening) has remained controversial, nevertheless there are men cohorts likely to benefit from PSA screening. Heritable factors contribute to 60 % risk for developing familial prostate cancer. Despite the fact that its clinical application is challenging due to polygenic inheritance, advances in new generation sequencing technologies permit identifying highly penetrant germline mutations in genes BRCA1, BRCA2, CHEK2, HOXB13 and MMR associated with tremendous increase in risk of developing the prostate cancer. Several germline mutations are associated with clinically aggressiveness of disease and shortened survival. Targeted screening that is based on family history and genomic aberrations should be the next step towards the precision medicine. Men at elevated risk should been performed for early detection are those with familiar history of prostate cancer, or BRCA1, BRCA2, CHEK2, HOXB13 and MMR pathogenic germline mutation carriers, or first line relatives diagnosed with certain types of cancer.

Vendiendo tequila a China: una fiesta de coctel sin ganadores claros
Authors: Valenzuela Varela María Basilia , Verduzco Chávez Basilio
Published: July 2018

El objetivo de este artículo es explorar la relación entre acciones cooperativas de empresas tequileras y los avances en la exportación de tequila a China como producto con denominación de origen. Se usa una metodología cualitativa que incluye entrevistas, análisis de contenido de la literatura, estadísticas oficiales y de plataformas chinas de comercio electrónico. Los resultados sugieren que los escasos avances se deben al predominio de estrategias no cooperativas dirigidas a impulsar marcas de cada empresa, lo que es explicable dada la estructura industrial oligopólica del sector tequilero de exportación, las características del producto y las especificidades del mercado chino. Se derivan recomendaciones para seguir un repertorio de acciones cooperativas para lograr aceptación del producto en vez de privilegiar el posicionamiento de marcas.

Authors: Shlekova I.Yu. , Knysh A.I.
Published: July 2018

The use of industrial wastes as alternative adsorbents for wastewater treatment is proposed. The effective concentration of the adsorbent was determined experimentally. The results of a study of the intensification of biological wastewater treatment using activated carbon and a pulverized coke fraction are presented. The efficiency of treatment in terms of "chemical oxygen demand" during the intake of highly concentrated sewage sludge with the use of an alternative adsorbent averaged 85 %. In the biosorption system, the conservation of the species diversity of the biocenosis of activated sludge and its purifying ability was noted. In the biological treatment system, purification efficiency was recorded on average 16 % less and destabilization of the system as a whole. The carried out researches prove expediency of use of adsorbents, including production wastes, for intensification of biological wastewater treatment in aero tanks.

Published: July 2018

The metal deposit, as an object of natural leaching, is a natural and technogenic system within which processes of natural processing of metal-bearing ores take place, with the extraction of metals into solution. Modernization of mining on an environmental-based basis is possible with the use of innovative technologies for extracting metals from solutions of natural leaching. The ecological efficiency of the purification of mine drains with the capture of metals dissolved in them is described by a model linking the totality of processes up to the realization in the form of marketable products, including damage from the removal of metals and chemicals to the ecosystems of the environment. Under appropriate conditions, natural leaching processes can be corrected by technological methods.
