Modelling bacterial selection during the plug-flow feeding phase of aerobic granular sludge biofilm reactors

Christof Holliger, David Gregory Weissbrodt

A mathematical model was developed to investigate hydraulic transport and bacterial selection during slow up-flow anaerobic feeding (0.9 m h-1) of wastewater across the settled bed of granular sludge biofilms used in column-type sequencing-batch reactors t ...

First day of an oil spill on the open sea: Early mass transfers of hydrocarbons to air and water

Jeremy Samuel Arey, Jonas Gros, Deedar Nabi

During the first hours after release of petroleum at sea, crude oil hydrocarbons partition rapidly into air and water. However limited information is available about very early evaporation and dissolution processes. We report on the composition of the oil ...

Utility-Based Mechanism for Structural Self-Organization in Service-Oriented MAS

Matteo Vasirani

Structural relations established among agents influence the performance of decentralized service discovery process in multiagent systems. Moreover, distributed systems should be able to adapt their structural relations to changes in environmental condition ...

Methodologies for predicting natural frequency variation of a suspension bridge

Ian Smith, Ngoc Thanh Trinh, Irwanda Laory

In vibration-based structural health monitoring, changes in the natural frequency of a structure are used to identify changes in the structural conditions due to damage and deterioration. However, natural frequency values also vary with changes in environm ...

Observational constraints on the distribution, seasonality, and environmental predictors of North American boreal methane emissions

Jed Oliver Kaplan, Bowen Zhang

Wetlands comprise the single largest global source of atmospheric methane, but current flux estimates disagree in both magnitude and distribution at the continental scale. This study uses atmospheric methane observations over North America from 2007 to 200 ...

Direct determination of niobium at the low nanogram level in mineral waters and freshwaters

Michaël Bensimon, Montserrat Filella, David-Julien Magnenat

The increasing use of elements such as Nb and Ta in green and information technologies makes it necessary to develop appropriate analytical methods for studying their environmental and ecotoxicological behaviour. This paper describes the first time Nb has ...

Architecture. A main factor of development and protection of the mountain environment

Estelle Lépine

The objective of this contribution is to show architecture as a major factor of development of the mountain environment against both environmental and human risks caused by the severe overcrowding of the routes leading to the main Alpine summits. The choic ...

Discussion of three definitions of spatial justice in the writing of Jacques Lévy

Ana Moura Bastos de Fernandes Póvoas

This text address the challenge of answering to two inseparable question: What is a just territory ? and What can we do to approach more just territories? The first section of this text explores three approaches of spatial justice as deployed by Jacques Lé ...
