title: Microalgae for municipal wastewater nutrient remediation: mechanisms, reactors and outlook for tertiary treatment

description: This review explores the use of microalgae for nutrient removal in municipal wastewater treatment, considering recent improvements in the understanding of removal mechanisms and developments of both suspended and non-suspended systems. Nutrient removal is associated to both direct and indirect uptake, with the former associated to the biomass concentration and growth environment (reactor). Importantly, direct uptake is influenced by the Nitrogen:Phosphorus content in both the cells and the surrounding wastewater, with opposite trends observed for N and P. Comparison of suspended and non-suspended systems revealed that whilst all were capable of achieving high levels of nutrient removal, only non-suspended immobilized systems could do so with reduced hydraulic retention times of less than 1 day. As microalgae are photosynthetic organisms, the metabolic processes associated with nutrient assimilation are driven by light. Optimization of light delivery remains a key area of development with examples of improved mixing in suspended systems and the use of pulsating lights to enhance light utilization and reduce costs. Recent data provide increased confidence in the use of microalgae for nutrient removal in municipal wastewater treatment, enabling effluent discharges below 1 mg L<sup>−1</sup> to be met whilst generating added value in terms of bioproducts for energy production or nutrient recovery. Ultimately, the review suggests that future research should focus on non-suspended systems and the determination of the added value potential. In so doing, it is predicted that microalgae systems will be significant in the delivery of the circular economy.

title: WK5 - Experimental Design - The effect of plant density and pond distance on insect abundance.

description: The experiment was conducted over two days at the grassland beside the osoogde law school in York University. The experiment studied the relationship between plant density, pond distance and insect abundance. It involved the use of transects and quadrats. The transect was used to measure the three selected distances from the pond - 1,10, and 20 (m). The 1x1 m^2 quadrats were used to measure plant density and count insect abundance. Each quadrats was placed a meter apart from the previous one.

title: Weight controllability effects on prejudice and self-efficacy (Time 1 and 2)

description: An experiment was conducted to test for the presence of prejudice towards obesity and whether weight controllability information reduces this prejudice and impacts on a person’s own healthy weight management. The experiment randomly allocated 346 participants (49 males) into one of three conditions: controllable contributors toward obesity condition (e.g., information about personal control about diet and exercise); uncontrollable contributors toward obesity condition (e.g., information about genes, factors in society); and a control condition with no information given. Using randomised control trial design and pre- and post-measures, the present study addressed many methodological issues present in previous studies. Prejudice was present in 81% of the sample. Weight controllability information had no significant effect on prejudice levels or exercise or healthy eating self-efficacy levels. A negative relationship was found between prejudice towards obesity and level of exercise and healthy eating self-efficacy. Weight status was negatively related to level of prejudice towards obesity and positively related to exercise and healthy eating self-efficacy. These findings suggest that future studies modelling causal factors in obesity may need to incorporate measures of healthy eating self-efficacy and prejudice.

title: Human Interference/Anthropocene effects on Insect Abundance

description: The experiment was conducted on dates Tuesday, October 13th, 2015, and October 20th, 2015 at the Danby Grasslands at York University. With 6 replicates on each date. On October 13th, conditions were windy, cloudy, with temperature that fluctuated between 15 degrees celsius, and 11 degrees celsius. On October 20th, the conditions were cloudy and overcast as well with temperature somewhat constant at 12 celsius. The purpose of the experiment was to see the relative effects of human interference/disturbance gauged by articles of litter, with health of a grassland, gauged roughly by insect abundance. The tested hypothesis is that the closer to/more affected by human interference a transacted area is, the less insect abundance there would be. The study was conducted by laying a transact from the outskirts of the woodlot (near human interference) to the center, where there would be the least amount of observable interference. Each 5m from the outside to the inside was categorized from 1 - 6, 1 being closest to human interference, and 6 being closest to center of the grassland. A sweepnet was used to capture and record insect abundance in each 5 meter area along the transact, sweeping motion was consistent, side to side, for a duration of 2 minutes per 5 meter section. 12 replicates were taken, each replicate containing a 30 meter transact, split into 6 different 5 meter areas.

title: The effect of soil moisture and plants on insect diversity and abundance

description: This experiment was done at Danby grassland, York university, to determine whether plant species and soil conditions affect insect species diversity and abundance. The data was collected over two days. The temperature on October 12, 2015 was 11°C with cloudy sky and little sunlight. On October 19, 2015, the temperature was 14 °C with cloudy sky and some rain. My group members Nicole, Michael, Tonia and I split up into two groups. Nicole and I partnered up to collect the necessary data for this experiment The materials used in this experiments were a sweep net, a transect and a tape measure. The experiment started with laying down 20 meters long transect on one side of the field. Then, a 1-meter long measuring tape was placed perpendicular to the transect belt. We then caught as many insects as possible with sweep net within that 1-meter range for 2 minutes. The total number of insects caught, the insect RTUs (recognizable taxonomic units), and different plant species number within this range was recorded. Also, soil moisture in the center of the transect was also recorded ranging from 0 to 4 (0 being very dry to 4 being extremely moist). We then moved about 2 meters away from our first transect to set up our second. No random number generator application was used in this experiment, as we ended up collecting data from the entire grassland, and did not miss any spot. In two days, Nicole and I repeated this method 60 times. At the end of the experiment, we had 120 replicates in total from both groups to test our hypothesis. After analyzing the data above, we will be able to observe if there is a correlation between these three variables.

title: The Abundance of Invertebrates at Different Grass Heights

description: The experiment was conducted from 2:30 pm – 4:30 pm on Tuesday October 13th 2015 with a temperature around 17°C with strong wind and occasional showers and on Tuesday October 20th 2015 with a temperature around 17°C with cloudy skies and light rain showers. The experiment was done together with Rachel Titus, Laiba Khan and Maleeha Maleeha. The experiment happened around the grassland area near Stong Pond at York University. We used 18 pan traps (6 of each colour: blue, white and yellow) in 3 different heights of grass locations: tall unmowed grass, short mowed grass and grass patches around the parking lot area. In the pattern blue, white and yellow approximately one metre apart from each other in all 3 locations. Each pan trap was filled with soapy water enough to cover the bottom of the pan trap. We checked the pan traps around 30 minutes after the pan traps were placed. Counting the amount of invertebrates found and identified what species they were in each pan trap for all three locations. In this experiment it allowed us to study if the number of invertebrates found in different locations would vary based on the height of grass.

title: Insect abundance as a result of plant abundance and location

description: This dataset was designed to observe how plant abundance and location may affect insect abundance in a positive (as one variable increases so does the other variable) or negative way (as one variable increases the other moves in the opposite direction). This experiment was completed by myself, Katie, Katherine, Ashley and Ava. The data collection was spread out between two separate days one week apart, on October 13th 2015 and October 20th 2015 between the times of 2:45pm and 5:00pm. The collection took place on York University Keele campus at the Danby Woodlot and the Danby Grassland. The total number of replicates (120) was split in half between the two days of collection as to gain a more accurate representation of the data set throughout the varying temperatures and weather conditions the two locations might experience. Within each of the days the 60 replicates were split into 30 replicates for the woodlot and 30 replicates for the grassland. Each time the quadrat had to be placed we used a random number generator to determine the number of steps to take before placing the quadrat down and completing another replicate. To ensure consistency between the quadrat placements, Katie was the group member to walk the steps to ensure the stride was consistent each time. Plant abundance was graded on a scale, excluding fallen leaves, dead plants and grass. We felt a scale would help with explain the abundance between the different plants that grew in the different locations. The plant abundance grade was agreed on all members of the group before being documented. The insects were counted by all members of the group with an approximate time of 5 minutes of counting for each quadrat. Insects on plants were also counted, including trees, we stopped counting insects on trees at the height of my chest, as it was impossible to count any higher on some trees. The first day the weather was mostly clear with some cloud coverage, no rain and a temperature of 19 °C. The soil in both the woodlot and the grassland were fairly dry, with some moisture. On the second day of data collection there was a constant downpour of precipitation in the form of rain. The temperature was 18°C with the soil being damp from the previous day and from the current precipitation.

title: Techniques Lab Animals : Birds, Abundance and Diversity

description: We as a group of four students conducted an experiment on the abundance and diversity of bird species and count the number of birds in different areas of natural and urban areas. We used binoculars, transects and dichotomous keys to study the number of different bird species found in every location. We used transects to measure the distance of the areas where the birds were found. About 8 transects were used at a particular date of October 13 and about 10 transects were used on October 20th, 2015 in both areas of urbanised and Natural areas of Woodlot and Grassland. Transects were placed in different areas of Urbanised and Grassland habitats of York University. Each transect was observed at a 120 metre distance. The number of bird species found on every transect were observed by binoculars or human eye. Later, the birds found were looked into the dichotomous key and correct species were noted. We also observed whether food, garbage or people affect the abundance of bird species in urbanised areas whether greater abundance is due to all these aspects, or birds are less adapted to people in urbanised areas and have lesser abundance in urbanised areas.
