4. An integrative review of granular sludge for the biological removal of nutrients and recalcitrant organic matter from wastewater.

Author

Abstract

Granular sludge aggregates are particular types of biofilms that display significantly different metrics and physical-chemical characteristics than activated sludge flocs. The efficiency of intensified processes using granular sludge relies on the application of selection pressures. Operational conditions are engineered to force microorganisms to form specific intrinsic physiological, phenotypic, and metabolic traits for granulation and high-rate biological removal of nutrients and/or recalcitrant organic matter. Granular sludge and conventional activated sludge share a core microbiome, while the distribution of the underlying populations can significantly differ in relative abundance and localization in the architecture of granules and flocs. Analogous ecological principles of microbial selection apply from activated sludge to granular sludge ecosystems with the essential difference that granules are governed by diffusion limitations through which different redox potentials are created on micrometre scale. Integrating the microbiology dimension together with the physical–chemical features of granules in engineering practice will make a difference at process level, besides offering new opportunities for bioaugmentation of granules in existing infrastructure. With this review article we critically examine the macro-scale factors impacting granulation, the physical-chemical characteristics of granular sludge, and fundamental and applied questions driven by the microbial ecology of granular sludge, to generate useful concepts for process design and evaluation in engineering practice.

5. Broadcast and network optimization : essays on approximation algorithms and experiments on problems in latency cover, network fragmentation and routing on the internet

Author

van der Zwaan, G.R.J., van Hoesel, Constantinus, Berger, Andre, Quantitative Economics, and RS: GSBE

Subjects
automated solution methods, fundamental aspects
Abstract

Ordering search results, network stability and routing on the Internet are applications of which the performance almost entirely depends of automated solution methods. This dissertation studies fundamental aspects of solution methods for these problems. The simplest solution methods that will always find the best solution is trying each possible solution one by one and selecting the best one. Even on the fastest computer this method takes too much time: years instead of days! Finding a solution method that is both fast and finds the best answer, appears unfortunately not always possible. This dissertation describes solution methods that are very fast, but find a very good answer instead of the best answer. Moreover, for various problems better and simpler solution methods are described.

6. The essential aspects of building a therapeutic relationship.

Author

Rizvi, Sanah

Subjects
*PSYCHOTHERAPIST-patient relations, *PEOPLE with mental illness, *MENTAL illness treatment, *NEEDS assessment, *PSYCHOLOGICAL research
Abstract

The therapeutic relationship is one of the most important aspects of any therapy sessions. As times change and patient needs evolve, what are the most essential aspects of a therapeutic relationship? Here we look at relevant literature and discuss some of the aspects of a therapeutic relationship that are relevant and important today and elaborate on why they matter. We further provide a condensed list for therapists to use and incorporate in their practice. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Background: Pernicious Anemia (PA), the most common cause of cobalamin deficiency anemia worldwide, is an autoimmune disease of multifactorial etiologies involving complex environmental and immunological factors. Although it was first reported by Addison in 1849 with subsequent advances in understanding of pathogenesis and molecular biology, diagnosis of PA is still challenging for clinicians because of its complexity and diverse clinical presentations., Conclusion: Herein, we provide an overview of PA, mainly focusing on its scientific and practical aspects in diagnosis. We also discuss the limitations of currently available diagnostic tools for the evaluation of cobalamin deficiency and PA., (Copyright© Bentham Science Publishers; For any queries, please email at epub@benthamscience.org.)
