Cd and Pb removal from contaminated environment by metal resistant bacterium Cupriavidus metallidurans CH34: importance of the complexation and competition effects
The present study aims to improve the understanding of the role of complexation and competition effects on Cd and Pb accumulation by the metal resistant bacterium Cupriavidus metallidurans largely used in bioremediation. Adsorbed and intracellular metal co ...
Csiro Publishing2012The role of aquatic reservoir fluctuations in long-term cholera patterns
Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Lorenzo Mari, Lorenzo Righetto, Marino Gatto
We propose and analyze an important extension of standard cholera epidemiological models, explicitly accounting for fluctuations of water availability to the human community under study. The seasonality of water input in the reservoir drives the variation ...
2012Structured fibrous carbon-based catalysts for continuous nitrate removal from natural water
Bimetallic (Pd-Cu, Pd-Sn) nanoparticles supported on structured fibrous carbons (activated carbon fibers and carbon nanofibers grown on sintered metal fibers) were tested in nitrate removal of natural polluted water by hydrogen (a batch and continuous mode ...
Elsevier2012Brine Absorption in Concrete at Low Temperature: Experimental Investigation and Modeling
An experimental campaign supports a model named TransChlor for bringing liquid water moved by capillary suction and chloride ions into concrete. The principal objective of the experimental campaign is to represent conventional concretes under real conditio ...

Eugen Brühwiler, David Conciatori
An experimental campaign supports a model named TransChlor for bringing liquid water moved by capillary suction and chloride ions into concrete. The principal objective of the experimental campaign is to represent conventional concretes under real conditio ...
American Society of Civil Engineers2011Installation, instrumentation and testing of an exhaust gas heat recuperator for hybrid cycle
This report presents the work done in the frame of a Minor in Energy project in the school of Mechanical Engineering at the Swiss Institute of Technology of Lausanne (EPFL), in order to obtain 10 ECTS credits. It is to install, instrument and test an exhau ...
2011The origin and fate of atmospheric moisture over continents
There has been a long debate on the extent to which precipitation relies on terrestrial evaporation (moisture recycling). In the past, most research focused on moisture recycling within a certain region only. This study makes use of new definitions of mois ...
American Geophysical Union2010Dramatic enhancement of solar disinfection (SODIS) of wild Salmonella sp in PET bottles by H2O2 addition on natural water of Burkina Faso containing dissolved iron
César Pulgarin, Julian Andrés Rengifo Herrera, Frédéric Sciacca
Disinfection of surface water containing dissolved iron (0.3 mg L-1) at natural neutral pH (similar to 7.5) was carried out via solar disinfection (SODIS) treatment in PET bottles with H2O2 (10 mg L-1). Wild coliforms and Salmonella sp. were monitored for ...
2010Simultaneous E-coli inactivation and NOM degradation in river water via photo-Fenton process at natural pH in solar CPC reactor. A new way for enhancing solar disinfection of natural water
Bacteria inactivation and natural organic matter oxidation in river water was simultaneously conducted via photo-Fenton reaction at "natural" pH (similar to 6.5) containing 0.6 mg L-1 of Fe3+ and 10 mg L-1 of H2O2. The experiments were carried out by using ...
2009Characterization of perfluorodecanoate self-assembled monolayers on aluminum and comparison of stability with phosphonate and siloxy self-assembled monolayers
The long term performance of micro-/nano-electromechanical systems (MEMS/NEMS) depends on their stability to operating conditions, contact friction, adhesion, and wear. Aluminum (Al) substrates have been chemically reacted with perfluorodecanoic acid (PFDA ...
