Two series of 10 artificial substrates each were placed in Douglas Lake, Michigan, and their colonization by species fresh-water protozoans studied. Identifications made to whenever possible at intervals approximately one week, rough estimates density as well. Although the aggregations colonizing not identical, process itself was remarkably similar for entire series. When number plotted against time days, a simple exponential curve adequately described relationship. Colonization rates...

Abstract The antimicrobial triclosan was analyzed in unfiltered samples from influent, effluent, and receiving stream before after a pilot‐scale constructed wetland at North Texas municipal wastewater treatment plant. Triclosan concentrations were reduced by 97 to 99% the activated sludge Effluent further passage through wetland, but not statistically significantly different effluent concentrations. of seasonal with highest occurring during summer months. effluent‐dominated maximum months...

:This article explores two conflicting ethical systems: neoliberalism and institutionalism. Neoliberalism's foundations support an overarching ethic of individual autonomy responsibility. Institutionalism contrasts this conception with a view human beings as relational. The foundation such requires meta-ethic interpersonal responsibility that supports care.

Abstract The objectives of the project discussed here were to identify level documentation in US environmental impact statements dealing with biodiversity assessment, determine whether, years following release 1993 Council on Environmental Quality guidelines biodiversity, treatment subject has changed, and deficiencies. A systematic review process examined 35 using a ‘biodiversity assessment index’ based 19 questions score each statement. While our examines relatively small sample, data...

Abstract The toxicity and estrogenicity of a final treated municipal effluent was examined while flowing through constructed wetland in north-central Texas, USA. Fish data were collected, baseline characterization performed to assess treatment potential for these properties. Vitellogenin (VTG), gonadosomatic index (GSI), hepatosomatic (HSI), secondary sexual characteristics biomarkers used fish models aqueous estrogenicity. Biological indicators overall health included hematocrit condition...

Abstract Robust canonical correlation and classification methods were used to evaluate relationships between ambient toxicity instream biological response. Ten studies of freshwater aquatic systems in the analysis. These included eight site conducted by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Complex Effluent Toxicity Testing Program, one study University Kentucky North Texas. Results from tests, including Ceriodaphnia neonate production Pimephales promelas dry weight survival, predict impact...

The concept of habit has played only a very small role in the social sciences since 1930s. During 1930s was relegated to psychology; prior then it extensively used sociology.' never had widespread use orthodox economics, for reasons we will explore later, but is found frequently early literature institutional particularly works Thorstein Veblen, John Dewey, and Charles Peirce.2 term seldom occurs contemporary neoinstitutional writings, intimately entwined with idea ceremonial aspects...

Most subsurface flow treatment wetlands, also known as reed bed or root zone systems, use sand gravel substrates to reduce organics, solids, and nutrients in septic tank effluents. Phosphorus (P) retention these systems is highly variable few studies have identified the fate of retained P. In this study, two substrates, expanded shale masonry sand, were used filter media five pilot-scale wetlands (2.7 m3). After 1 year operation, we estimated annual rate P sorption by taking difference...

Neoliberalism is an ideology that requires the public/private split in human affairs to exist and be perceived as normal natural. This paper begins by looking at feminist critique of dualisms, developed institutional economist Ann Jennings economists Paula England Julie Nelson then applies their dualisms neoliberal conceptions agency care. The argues once dualism exposed incorrect representation existential reality, it becomes impossible use for justifying characterization behavior,...

Abstract Whole effluent toxicity (WET) tests are widely used to assess potential effects of wastewater discharges on aquatic life. This paper represents a summary chapters in 1996 Society Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry–sponsored workshop literature review concerning linkages between WET testing associated field biomonitoring. Most published studies thus far focus primarily benthic macroinvertebrates effluent‐dominated stream systems which effluents demonstrate little or no...
