Anaerobic processes have been applied to treat low-strength domestic wastewaters with significant energy saving. However, anaerobic process effluents must be further removed of residual organics and total nitrogen before discharge. Reported here are an aerobic entrapped bio-technology (EBT) system and an EBT coupled with activated sludge (EBT + AS) system being tested as a post-anaerobic treatment. Both systems have been operated under aerobic condition to provide organics and total nitrogen removal, achieving COD removal by 74-88% and TN removal by 58-65% at hydraulic retention times of 8-24 h. ΔCOD/ΔNO ratios that represent the carbon usage efficiency as electron donors for denitrification were 1.82-1.93 in the EBT and 2.01-2.02 in the EBT + AS systems, with both ratios being lower (i.e. more efficient) than 6 typically required in traditional activated sludge bioreactors. Both systems demonstrate promise for polishing removal of COD and TN.

Background: During the COVID-19 pandemia, the imaging test of choice to diagnose COVID-19 pneumonia as chest computed tomography (CT). However, access was limited in the hospital setting and patients treated in Primary Care (PC) could only access the chest x-ray as an imaging test. Several scientific articles that demonstrated the sensitivity of lung ultrasound, being superior to chest x-ray [Cleverley J et al.

Understanding the drivers of stomatal behavior is critical for modeling terrestrial carbon cycle and water balance. The unified stomatal optimization (USO) model provides a mechanistic linkage between stomatal conductance (g) and photosynthesis (A), with its slope parameter (g) inversely related to intrinsic water use efficiency (iWUE), providing a key proxy to characterize the differences in iWUE and stomatal behavior. While many studies have identified multiple environmental factors influencing g, the potential role of evolutionary history in shaping g remains incompletely understood.

Iron (Fe) (oxyhydr)oxides and natural organic matter (NOM) are active substances ubiquitously found in sediments. Their coupled transformation plays a crucial role in the fate and release risk of heavy metal(loid)s (HMs) in lake sediments. Therefore, it is essential to systematically obtain relevant knowledge to elucidate their potential mechanism, and whether HMs provide immobilization or mobilization effect in this ternary system.
