Hooray! Sign into academic works to request Lilja Nielsen‘s PhD thesis via interlibrary loan! Abstract In an effort to enable wastewater treatment that is more economical and environmentally friendly, alternative adsorbents composed of sewage sludge and fish waste were tested for the removal of pharmaceuticals from aqueous phase. Sewage sludge, fish waste and their homogenized mixtures (90:10, 75:25, 50:50) were carbonized at two temperatures (650 and 950 °C). The obtained materials were extensively characterized in terms of their chemistry and porosity. Adsorption isotherms were used to determine adsorption capacity for 3 model pharmaceuticals: carbamazepine, sulfamethoxazole, and trimethoprim. To simulate the …

#EESpublishes: New Book by Prof @TammyL_Lewis of @BklynCollege411 on Ecuadors’ Environmental Revolution
Make sure you pick up a copy of Professor’s Lewis new book entitled “Ecuador’s Environmental Revolutions: Ecoimperialists, Ecodependents, and Ecoresisters“! Read the overview from MIT below or by clicking this link. Overview Ecuador is biologically diverse, petroleum rich, and economically poor. Its extraordinary biodiversity has attracted attention and funding from such transnational environmental organizations as Conservation International, the World Wildlife Fund, and the United States Agency for International Development. In Ecuador itself there are more than 200 environmental groups dedicated to sustainable development, and the country’s 2008 constitution grants constitutional rights to nature. The current leftist government is committed both to …
#EESpublishes Prof @ecosciencelab on #RemoteSensing and #drought patterns
Professor Kyle McDonald of City College coauthored a paper in Remote Sensing of Environment: ASCAT MetOp-A diurnal backscatter observations of recent vegetation drought patterns over the contiguous U.S.: An assessment of spatial extent and relationship with precipitation and crop yield Highlights •Satellite backscatter was evaluated for drought detection over the contiguous U.S. •Backscatter, precipitation and crop yield time series data were well-correlated. •Diurnal backscatter differences vanished during periods of acute drought.
#EESpublishes Prof @yklein of @ on reducing #UrbanWater & #EngerySystem demands in NYC
Professor Yehuda Klein (@yklein) of Brooklyn College Coauthored a paper in the Journal of Environmental Studies and Science on: Hybrid green infrastructure for reducing demands on urban water and energy systems: a New York City hypothetical case study Abstract: Green infrastructure shows promise as a “best management practice” for controlling stormwater runoff, particularly in older cities with combined sewer systems. Green infrastructure systems have been used to both mitigate pollutant loading to adjacent waterways as well as to reduce burdens on municipal wastewater and stormwater collection and treatment systems during storm events. Although the electric and water/wastewater networks are closely linked, …

#EESpublishes Prof Flynn of @AMNH on feeding strategies #Kolponomos
Coauthored by Professor JJ Flynn of the American Museum of Natural History A unique feeding strategy of the extinct marine mammal Kolponomos: convergence on sabretooths and sea otters Abstract Mammalian molluscivores feed mainly by shell-crushing or suction-feeding. The extinct marine arctoid, Kolponomos, has been interpreted as an otter-like shell-crusher based on similar dentitions. However, neither the masticatory biomechanics of the shell-crushing adaptation nor the wayKolponomos may have captured hard-shelled prey have been tested. Based on mandibular symphyseal morphology shared by Kolponomos and sabre-toothed carnivores, we hypothesize a sabretooth-like mechanism for Kolponomos prey-capture, whereby the mandible functioned as an anchor. Torque …
