This study analyzed data collected during the Broward County beach renourishment project yearly monitoring site visits. Twenty four sample sites throughout the county were established to monitor the coral reef community during beach renourishment efforts sponsored by Broward County and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. Data collected during each site visit included stony coral cover, density, and colony size. Octocoral and sponge density were also collected. A sediment bottle trap was deployed at each site in order to record the sedimentation rates and grain sizes. These trap

Abstract:

Wingecarribee and Fitzroy Falls Reservoirs are part of the Shoalhaven system within the Sydney metropolitan water supply network and are both shallow, well mixed, polymictic water bodies. After construction in 1973, land use activities within the catchments changed from low intensity grazing to more intensive practices such as dairying, particularly on the northern foreshore of Wingecarribee Reservoir, and vegetable farming around Fitzroy Falls Reservoir. The change in land use practice raised concerns about the possible impact on water quality of the reservoirs. This study sought to different

Abstract:

Although food waste is known to have a negative impact on the environment, little research about the causes for food waste in school and kindergarten kitchens has been made. In order to identify factors with a significant influence on food waste in schools and kindergartens, divided into plate and serving waste, correlation analysis was performed on quantitative factors. Among the factors that were analyzed, children’s age (n=35, p<0.001, Kendall’s rank correlation tau=0.44), the number of semesters with food waste measurements (n=151, p<0.05, Kendall’s rank correlation tau=0.15) and por

Quartz fields contribute significantly to plant diversity in the Succulent Karoo biome. They are distinctly different from surrounding habitats and have high levels of plant endemism. Biological soil crusts are features of quartz field soils and fulfill a vital function in that they stabilize soils. It is important for managers of nature reserves and agricultural rangelands to know what factors influence quartz field soils and vegetation. Both stakeholders could benefit from new information that would allow for informed decision-making regarding land-use on quartz fields. The present study too

Abstract:

Although clays are generally considered stable materials under seismic conditions, recent failures initiated in clay layers after earthquakes have emphasized the need to study the cyclic and post-cyclic behavior of these materials. Moreover, if strength loss as a result of cyclic loading were to occur in the material comprising the dam and/or dam foundation, the consequences of failure could be substantial. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of plasticity characteristics, mineralogical composition, and accumulated energy on the cyclic behavior, post-cyclic shear strength and

Abstract:

One of ecology’s primary goals is to comprehend biodiversity and its patterns of distribution over space and time. Since microorganisms play a pivotal role in key ecological processes, the diversity of microbial communities may have important implications for the stability and functioning of Earth’s ecosystems. Thus, it is of utmost importance to develop a theoretical foundation but also a conceptual understanding for the mechanisms that generate and maintain microbial diversity. The aim of this thesis is to investigate to what extent local freshwater bacterioplankton diversity, i.e. richness

Abstract:

Aquatic bacteria respond to changing environmental conditions through a variety of mechanisms including changes in abundance, shifts in community composition and variable activity states. In the tidal-freshwater James River, variation in bacterial abundance was linked to nutrient availability and autochthonous production with highest bacterial densities associated with low-nutrient, high-chlorophyll a conditions. Laboratory experiments revealed that bacterial growth rates were nutrient limited at the low-nutrient site, while co-limitation (nutrients, glucose, light) was apparent at the high nu

The goal of an analytical laboratory is to have a high sample throughput, quick turnaround time and reduced operating costs. In most of the cases, a sample preparation step is necessary to prepare the sample for the specific analysis. Generally, a sample preparation step is incorporated in the analysis to eliminate interferences from the sample and to result in a "cleaner" sample that produces a signal with an enhanced signal response. In chromatographic analysis, the sample preparation step is in most cases the rate determining step. This is because most of the sample preparation steps are ou

Abstract:

Swedish people today are generally interested in environmental issues. One can assume that this would affect the way people act in their daily lives. However, research has shown that when it comes to attitudes and behavior, there is what has been described as “a gap”. Concern for the environment does not automatically mean that people act in an environmentally friendly way. The fact is that there are many barriers that prevent a so-called pro environmental behavior. This study deals with some of the factors that can influence a specific behavior, namely the sorting of food waste in the City of

Among three pure strains of broiler chickens obtained from a Canadian breeder (Shaver), the Cornish 2 strain grew the fastest and contained the highest body fat (p<0.05). The White Rock strain grew most slowly, and the Cornish 1 strain was intermediate. Among three commercial strains obtained from Shaver, all had very similar growth rates and carcass lipid content.
