Standard roadside vegetated swales often do not provide consistent pollutant removal. To increase infiltration and removal, bioswales are designed with an underlying soil media underdrain. However, there little data on the ability of these stormwater control measures (SCMs) to reduce concentrations. A bioswale treating road runoff was monitored, volume-proportional, composite samples taken for inlet, overflow, underdrain outflow. Samples were tested total suspended solids (TSS), volatile...
Bridge deck runoff sometimes directly discharges through drains to water bodies. As such, the is usually not treated; however, recent pressures have led Departments of Transportation install closed pipe drainage systems beneath bridges deliver stormwater a control measure (SCM). This can be costly both in terms up-front and long-term maintenance capital. study compared bridge concentrations nutrients, sediment, heavy metals effluent from six commonly used SCMs. Runoff quality samples 15...
The regulatory γ subunit and an αβ complex were isolated from the catalytic F1portion of chloroplast ATP synthase. was devoid activity, whereas exhibited a very low ATPase activity (∼200 nmol/min/mg protein). migrated as hexameric α3β3complex during ultracentrifugation gel filtration but reversibly dissociated into α β monomers after freezing thawing in presence ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid absence nucleotides. Conditions are described which preparations combined to rapidly efficiently...
Bioswales are a promising stormwater control measure (SCM) for roadway runoff management, but few studies have assessed performance on field scale. A bioswale is vegetated channel with underlying engineered media and perforated underdrain to promote improved hydrologic water quality treatment. rip-rap lined forebay was constructed along state highway NC 211 in Bolivia, North Carolina, USA, monitored 12 months. Thirty-seven of the 39 rain events exfiltrated into soils, resulting no...
Zebrafish have become a go-to model organism for in vivo studies, part because of their reputation as being inexpensive to rear and house. Multiple do-it-yourself designs are currently available that provide laboratories with cost-effective housing systems. Unfortunately, these suffer from range issues ranging poor water cycling rates fragile tanks inconsistent conditions prohibitively expensive smaller construct maintain. These cause many systems fall far short the quality commercially...
Road runoff has been identified as a source of urban stormwater pollution. Bridges represent special case, they often directly discharge through deck drains near or into open water. As such, the is usually not treated with swale and filter strip, it would be in typical highway cross-section; recently, departments transportation have begun using closed pipe drainage systems to deliver control measure (SCM) for treatment. This costly retrofit both terms up-front long-term maintenance capital....
