title: Data for: Stagnation leads to short-term fluctuations in the effluent water quality of biofilters: A problem for greywater reuse?

description: A key characteristic of decentralized greywater treatment and reuse is the high variability both in nutrient concentrations and flow. The variability in flow leads to stagnant water in the system and causes short-term fluctuations in the effluent water quality. Automated monitoring tools provide data to understand the underlying mechanisms behind the dynamics and to implement adapted control strategies. In this study, we investigated the fluctuations in a building-scale greywater treatment system comprising a membrane bioreactor followed by a biological activated carbon filter. Short-term dynamics in the effluent of the biological activated carbon filter were monitored with automated flow cytometry and turbidity and the impact of these fluctuations on different hygiene-relevant parameters in the reuse water was evaluated. Continuous biofilm detachment into the stagnant water in the biological activated carbon filter led to temporarily increased turbidity and cell concentrations in the effluent after periods of stagnation. The fluctuations in cell concentrations were consistent with a model assuming higher detachment rates during flow than during times with stagnant water. For this system, total cell concentration and turbidity were strongly correlated. Further, we could show that the observed increase in cell concentration was not related to a deterioration of organic carbon concentration, and the concentration of the opportunistic pathogens P. aeruginosa and L. pneumophila. We showed that turbidity measurements are sensitive to detect changes in the effluent water quality and can be used as a valuable tool to monitor the fluctuations caused by intermittent flow. The intermittent flow did not lead to an increase in opportunistic pathogens and from this study there are no indications that stagnant water in the BAC need to be prevented.

title: White diamond: Elizabeth Taylor's adventures in American empire and the ecstasy of postcolonial whiteness

description: This dissertation examines the iconicity of movie star Elizabeth Taylor and theorizes that the amalgam of her onscreen and off screen images forms a textual body that serves as a metaphor for American Empire at the apex of its power.  Taylor is also an exemplar of postcolonial whiteness, a social and political formation which she reveals is reified through the performance of a global citizenship that is characterized by encumbered transnational mobility and white noblesse oblige. ❧ This work closely investigates Taylor’s various iterations during her seventy years of unprecedented fame: her turn as the plantation mistress in a cycle of films who helps recuperate the colonial past as the U.S. emerges as the world’s greatest military power in the 1950s, her transformation as the ecstatic globetrotting oriental in whiteface whom Taylor constructs in part through her evasions of blackness in the 1960s and 1970s, and finally onto her work as the stalwart AIDS activist during the sexually repressive and politically conservative Reagan 1980s.  In these various guises the star shows an anxious and captivated audience fearing the loss of white power after the official death of empire and the rise of black liberation movements that postcoloniality actually promises whites a carte blanche to experience a modernity based on an imperative of personal liberation, pleasure, and political agency without the burdens of race. ❧ Interpreting archival materials pertaining to Taylor in the Margaret Herrick Library and the Warner Bros. Archives and using work from critical race theory, postcolonial theory, gender studies, film theory and political theory including the notion of the possessive individual for whom American citizenship was invented to protect its subjects’ rights to freedom and accumulation, this work maps how Elizabeth Taylor is the singular figure who simultaneously glamorizes capitalism and romanticizes imperialism. Through her performances of exceptional whiteness in numerous media, including Hollywood films and countless photographs which imbricate her image as both excessively glamorous and strangely beautiful star, Taylor’s signification as an unapologetic and engrossing imperial figure is used to argue that whites are indeed deserving of the exclusive privileges guaranteed by racialized juridical citizenship.
