Sensors for Biomass Monitoring in Vegetated Green Infrastructure: A Review.

Bioretention cells, or rain gardens, can effectively reduce many contaminants in polluted stormwater through phytoremediation and bioremediation. The vegetated soil structure develops bacterial communities both within the soil and around the vegetation roots that play a significant role in the bioremediative process. Prediction of a bioretention cell's performance and efficacy is essential to the design process, operation, and maintenance throughout the design life of the cell.

Effect of various carbon sources on biomass and lipid production of Chlorella vulgaris during nutrient sufficient and nitrogen starvation conditions.

In this research, a two-stage process consisting of cultivation in nutrient rich and nitrogen starvation conditions was employed to enhance lipid production in Chlorella vulgaris algal biomass. The effect of supplying different organic and inorganic carbon sources on cultivation behavior was investigated. During nutrient sufficient condition (stage I), the highest biomass productivity of 0.
