Urban knowledge parks, knowledge cities and urban sustainability

Urban knowledge parks are a new mechanism for the transformation of cities into knowledge cities, in which the leit motif is knowledge and information. These cities offer one of the desirable paradigms for the sustainable cities of the future. Urban knowledge parks are a subset of knowledge parks. Their distinguishing characteristics and the processes by which they come into being are briefly ...

Impact of hydraulic loading rate and media type on removal of bulk organic matter and nitrogen from primary effluent in a laboratory-scale soil aquifer treatment system

The effect of hydraulic loading rate (HLR) and media type on the removal of bulk organic matter and nitrogen from primary effluent during soil aquifer treatment was investigated by conducting laboratory-scale soil column studies. Two soil columns packed with silica sand were operated at HLRs of 0.625 and 1.25 m/d, while a third column was packed with dune filtering material and operated at HLR ...

Soil erosion impact on soil organic carbon spatial variability on steep tropical slopes

The main objectives of this study were to evaluate soil organic C (SOC) variability in a representative hillslope of Laos and to quantify the impact of some environmental factors. We collected 2348 soil samples from 581 georeferenced soil pits within a hillslope of northern Laos under traditional shifting cultivation at 0- to 0.05-m depth and then every 0.1 m to 0.35-m depth. The SOC stocks at 0- ...

Patterns of plant species richness along the drawdown zone of the Three Gorges Reservoir 5 years after submergence

This study was conducted to understand the patterns of plant species richness in the Three Gorges Reservoir after 5 years after 175 m submergence. We hypothesized that hygrophyte and xerophyte species would show different species richness patterns, which was tested by collecting species composition and environmental variable data in 50 m long and 5 m wide transects in the drawdown zone from ...

The cytotoxic and genotoxic effects of metalaxy‐M on earthworms (Eisenia fetida)

As the main optical isomer of metalaxyl, metalaxyl‐M has been widely used worldwide in recent years due to its notable effect on the prevention and control of crop‐diseases. Together with the toxicity and degradation of metalaxyl‐M, the chemical has attracted the attention of researchers. The present study examined the toxic effects of metalaxyl‐M on earthworms at 0, 0.1, 1 and 3 mg kg−1 on ...

Floodplain hydraulics in a glaciated bedrock river valley

Data and one dimensional, unsteady theory document the average, seasonal, and diurnal hydraulics of an unconfined aquifer in the surficial floodplain deposit of the Neponset River, which flows through a glaciated bedrock valley in eastern Massachusetts. The 20 m thick silty sand deposit has a permeability of 1.4 × 10−11 m2, a porosity of 0.37, a 600 m halfwidth, and an ...

Rotating belt sieves for primary treatment, chemically enhanced primary treatment and secondary solids separation

Fine mesh rotating belt sieves (RBS) offer a very compact solution for removal of particles from wastewater. This paper shows examples from pilot-scale testing of primary treatment, chemically enhanced primary treatment (CEPT) and secondary solids separation of biofilm solids from moving bed biofilm reactors (MBBRs). Primary treatment using a 350 microns belt showed more than 40% removal of ...

Airborne endotoxin concentrations at a large open-lot dairy in Southern Idaho

Endotoxins are derived from gram-negative bacteria and are a potential respiratory health risk for animals and humans. To determine the potential for endotoxin transport from a large open-lot dairy, total airborne endotoxin concentrations were determined at an upwind location (background) and five downwind locations on three separate days. The downwind locations were situated at of the edge of ...
