What is Class A Anaerobic Digestion?
In regards to wastewater treatment,
any website which offers free access to scientific journals?
no price or anything involved.
any help me. i need this for my research.
online journals people.
topic: wastewater treatment methods in OIL AND PETROLEUM INDUSTRY.
tnx.
*Sigh* I'm looking for work again. My spouse and I want to relocate to MN.?
We’re writers (I’m looking for technical writing work, he’s looking for pr, news, or marketing work, or jobs in the outdoor sports (hunting/fishing) industry. Any leads? Any contacts?
My strong areas for technical writing are Env Sci, Water/Wastewater treatment, Safety Engineering, And electronics.
Help!!!!!!Biology—?
You have a vial of Carchesium polypinum, a species of ciliates found in wastewater. You have just read that these protozoans produce a kind of mucus, which they secrete into the water. You wish to develop a laboratory model of wastewater treatment. As your model, you drop some India ink into a beaker of tap water and add a vial of ciliates. What effect might the mucus produced by the Carchesium have on the India ink? How might you apply your results to the effect of mucus on waste matter in water?
Estrogens from birth control pills?
a.Are excreted in urine
b.Are removed during standard wastewater treatment
c.Can cause female fish to develop male traits
d.Have different effects in fish than those of industrial estrogen mimicking pollutants
e.Do none of these
How does this look for an ENTRY LEVEL lab technician job for recent grad.?
So I have no experience work wise. ( no internships or awards either) and therefore I am worried about having too "small" of a resume.
I tried to include the labratory experience I have gained as well as textbook info of techniques that our school couldn’t afford (some are just too pricey for any school). So if you can read this and give me any suggestions on what you think can/should be changed (added or removed), that would be helpful

I figured it should be called "leaf of metal" but am not sure… I’m trying to translate some crazy stuff about wastewater treatment from Russian into English. There is a sentence there that I have problems with. "The intake chamber represents a reinforced concrete tank covered by…. (that stuff from the pictures) from the inside". Is it correct? I want to say that only the inside of this tank is covered with this material. PLEASE HELP ME!!! THANK YOU!!!!!
can anyone combine three picture for me using gimp please?
i have a hard time using it gimp…
1) http://www.trivenigroup.com/images/wastewater-treatment.jpg (this picture i want it to the bottom half of the page please
2)http://www.appgaf.org.uk/img/image_01.jpg (this picture i want to be top left side of the picture but only want 1/4 of the half of its left
3)http://assets.panda.org/img/overfish_img1_col2b_75579.jpg ( this picture i want it to have it on the top right side but only 1/4 of the half which it should have only 1/4 left or half of a half… basically
Lastly can you make two arrows from number two and three pointing at number 1 picture please thanks that would be really reall helpful and i don’t know how to thank you for this… This is a project about comparing and contrasting on fluoride and drinking water over fishing and waste watre treatment
THANKS AGAIN
yea exactly like that Quispe but if u don’t mind can u change color of the arrows to red and also can you make it arrows straight pointing at the bottom picture and not curved thanks. You help a whole lot =D
Conservatives — Can you read this summary of the Cap and Trade bill without foaming at the mouth?
Summary Of The Waxman-Markey Climate Bill: American Clean Energy and Security Act.
June 27th, 2009 • Related • Filed Under
Some of the key points of the American Clean Energy & Security Act from Grist, since they know better than I do. You can head to their site to read the nitty gritty, but here is a general summary:
Renewable electricity standard
The bill creates a renewable electricity standard (RES) that would require large utilities in each state to produce an increasing percentage of their electricity from renewable sources. Qualifying renewable sources are wind, solar, geothermal, biomass, marine and hydrokinetic energy, biogas and biofuels derived exclusively from eligible biomass, landfill gas, wastewater-treatment gas, coal-mine methane, hydropower projects built after 1992, and some waste-to-energy projects.
Emission cuts
The bill would put a cap on emissions of planet-warming greenhouse gases, and would require high-emitting industries to reduce their output to specific targets between now and the middle of the century. (This is the “cap” part of the “cap-and-trade” program.) The bill covers 85 percent of the overall economy, including electricity producers, oil refineries, natural gas suppliers, and energy-intensive industries like iron, steel, cement, and paper manufacturers.
Emission permits
Regulated industries would need to acquire permits for their emissions. (Emission permits are also referred to as “carbon credits,” “pollution allowances,” and various combinations of these words.)
If a company cuts its emissions so much that it has more permits than it needs, it can sell excess permits to other companies or bank them for future use. If a company doesn’t have enough permits, it can buy more or borrow its future credits and pay interest on them. Non-regulated entities (banks, nonprofits, people like you) can also buy and sell permits. (This is the “trade” part of the “cap-and-trade” program.) If a company’s emissions exceed its permits, it would be fined two times the fair market value of the permits it should have purchased.
How permit auction revenue would be spent
About 15 percent of the pollution permits would be sold by the federal government in the initial years of the program. Here’s how the revenue would be spent (shown as a percentage of the value of all permits):
* 15 percent would be used to offset increased energy costs for low- and moderate-income households
* 5 percent would be used to prevent international deforestation, scaling back to 3 percent from 2026 to 2030 and 2 percent from 2031 to 2050
* 2 percent would be used to help the U.S. adapt to the negative effects of climate change from 2012 through 2021, scaling up to 4 percent from 2022 through 2026 and 8 percent thereafter; half would be spent on wildlife and natural resources and the other half on other adaptation concerns, like public health
Investments in energy technology
By 2025, the bill would direct an estimated total of 0 billion to energy technologies and efficiency measures:
* billion to energy-efficiency and renewable-energy technologies
* billion to carbon-capture-and-sequestration technology
* billion to electric vehicles and other advanced automotive technologies
* billion for basic scientific research and development
Offsets
Regulated companies would be allowed to purchase carbon offsets to meet a portion of their required emission reductions—meaning they could fund clean-energy projects elsewhere instead of cutting their own emissions. This could lower the cost of complying with the new law.
Coal-fired power plants
* New coal plants could be built between 2009 and 2020, though they would be expected to adopt carbon-capture-and-sequestration (CCS) technologies when they become commercially available
* By 2025, all coal plants built after 2009 would have to capture 50 percent of their CO2 emissions
Worker transition
* Workers displaced due to new emission regulations would be entitled to 156 weeks of income supplement (70 percent of their average weekly wages), 80 percent of their monthly health-care premium, up to ,500 for job-search assistance, and up to ,500 for moving assistance
Smarter cars and smarter grids
* The bill includes a “cash-for-clunkers” program that would provide roughly 1 million vouchers, ranging from ,500 to ,500 in value, to consumers who trade in older, less-fuel efficient vehicles for new vehicles that get better gas mileage

Apparently they can’t…
Help with biology questions that I don't understand! Please!?
Alvin, a submersible vehicle used by oceanographers to study the ocean floor, has also proved invaluable in studying populations of deep-sea mollusks and segmented tube worms. The invertebrates in question live where hot seawater circulates through cracks in the ocean floor called deep-sea vents.
Suppose that you are an invertebrate biologist studying these animals. Your studies show that clams that live near the vents may grow as much as 3.8 cm per year—far more rapidly than other deep-water clams.
Suppose your data show that the temperature is the same in samples taken close to the vents and some distance away from the vents. However, the size of the clams is smaller the farther they are from the vents. What would this indicate?
You have a vial of Carchesium polypinum, a species of ciliates found in wastewater. You have just read that these protozoans produce a kind of mucus, which they secrete into the water. You wish to develop a laboratory model of wastewater treatment.
