Volcanic activity has a great impact on terrestrial ecosystems, including soil algae in general and diatoms in particular.To understand the influence of volcanoes on the biodiversity of diatoms, it is necessary to explore the flora of these microorganisms in regions with high volcanic activity, which includes the Kamchatka peninsula.During Suspensi
Temporal variation of bacterial population and response to physical and chemical parameters along a petrochemical industry wastewater treatment plant
Abstract: The petrochemical industry has played a considerable role in generation Dry Food Dispensers and release of waste in the environment.Activated sludge and facultative lagoons are commonly used for domestic and industrial wastewater treatment due to their low-cost and minimal need for operational requirements.Microorganisms present in wastew
Lipid Oxidation in Emulsions Fortified with Iron-Loaded Alginate Beads
The potential use of iron-loaded alginate beads to fortify oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions was studied.Iron-loaded alginate beads with different sizes (0.65, 0.84, 1.5 and 2 mm) were produced by ionic gelation with calcium chloride, leading to 81% encapsulation efficiency (EE) of ferrous sulfate.These beads were added to O/W emulsions to investigate t
An Experimental Study of Strategic Voting and Accuracy of Verdicts with Sequential and Simultaneous Voting
In a model of simultaneous voting, Feddersen and Pesendorfer (1998) consider the possibility that jurors vote strategically, rather than sincerely reflecting their individual information.This results in the counterintuitive result that a jury is more likely to convict the innocent under a unanimity rule than under majority rule.Dekel and Piccione S
