Enhancement of micropollutant degradation at the outlet of small wastewater treatment plants

David Andrew Barry, Luca Rossi, Alessandro Brovelli, Jonas Margot, Pierre Claude Jean Queloz

The aim of this work was to evaluate low-cost and easy-to-operate engineering solutions that can be added as a polishing step to small wastewater treatment plants to reduce the micropollutant load to water bodies. The proposed design combines a sand filter ...

Movement of Artificial Bacterial Flagella in Heterogeneous Viscous Environments at the Microscale

Lei Zhang

Swimming microrobots have the potential to be used in medical applications such as targeted drug delivery. The challenges for navigating microrobots in the human body lie not only in the viscosity of body fluids but also in the existence of different types ...

Temperature regime in a braided river system : an indicator for morphological heterogeneity and ecological potential

Anton Schleiss, Walter Gostner, Armin Julius Peter

Water temperature is one of the most important abiotic variables in streams and strongly influences the distribution and abundance of freshwater organisms. It might be assumed that in natural streams home to heterogenous habitats also a wide range of therm ...

Visualization of proprotein convertase activity in living cells and tissues

Daniel Constam

The invention relates to a system for detecting the presence of a convertase cleaving activity, the system comprising a molecule comprising a proteolytic cleavage site with the amino acid sequence -R-X1-X2-R-, wherein R represents the amino acid arginine, ...

Transgenic mice and their impact on kidney research

Friedrich Beermann

The kidney is a key organ in the maintenance of ion and fluid homeostasis and specific transport systems localized along the nephron guarantee this function. Due to its large functional heterogeneity, experiments on the whole organ level cannot be easily p ...

Multiscale modelling of urban climate

Adil Rasheed

Climate has a direct impact on cities' energy flows due to the space conditioning (heating, cooling) needs of the buildings accommodated. This impact may be reinforced due to climate change and to the (so called) urban heat island effect. The corresponding ...

Multiscale Modelling of Urban Climate

Darren Robinson, Adil Rasheed

Climate Modelling is a complex task. One of the most important reasons is the presence of a large variety of spatio-temporal scales. There are climatic changes that take place over a time period of a few months and then there are gusts which might last onl ...

Viscosimetric biosensor for monitoring analyte levels

Jean-Michel Sallese, Eric Meurville

The invention relates to a viscosimetric sensor for monitoring an analyte level in a patient or in body fluids ex vivo. In particular, the invention relates to a sensor for monitoring analytes, such as glucose levels in a patient. The sensor comprises at l ...

Evaporation from three water bodies of diﬀerent sizes and climates: Measurements and scaling analysis

Shirit Cohen, Marc Parlange, Gabriel George Katul, Scott W. Tyler

Evaporation from small reservoirs, wetlands, and lakes continues to be a theoretical and practical problem in surface hydrology and micrometeorology because atmospheric ﬂows above such systems can rarely be approximated as stationary and planar-homogeneous ...
