Abstract This paper reviews the main microbial processes involved when toxic metals are removed from wastewater in constructed wetlands. Microbial activity is thought to play a key role detoxification of these metals. The concentrates on which affect mobility, toxicity and bioavailability metals, namely biosorption, metal sulfide precipitation by sulfate reducers, redox transformations, methylation, as well microbe‐plant interactions. These reactions result either accumulation wetland soils,...
Urban groundwater is frequently contaminated, and the exact location of pollution spots often unknown. Intelligent monitoring temporal variations in flow such an area assists selectively extracting drinking water quality. Here example from city Zurich (Switzerland) shown. The strategy consists using ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) for optimally combining online observations models real‐time characterization flow. We conducted numerical simulation experiments period January 2004 to December...
Core Ideas SNO KARST is dedicated to the study of karst functioning. Hydrodynamics and geochemistry are measured at springs in compartments. Process sampling was set up nine sites various climatic contexts. Continuous monitoring concerns timescales from 10 >50 yr. New tools findings due complementarity gathered data. Karst aquifers watersheds represent a major source drinking water around world. They also known as complex often highly vulnerable hydrosystems strong surface–groundwater...
During HIV-1 particle formation, the requisite plasma membrane curvature is thought to be solely driven by retroviral Gag protein. Here, we reveal that cellular I-BAR protein IRSp53 required for progression of complete assembly. siRNA-mediated knockdown gene expression induces a decrease in viral production and bud arrest at half completion. Single-molecule localization microscopy cell shows preferential around assembly sites. In addition, observe presence purified particles. Finally,...

Oued Fez, Morocco. Urban catchments are heterogeneous in terms of land use and have both natural artificial drainage networks. Modelling them is not a straightforward task especially data-scarce settings. This study investigates network representation hydrological modelling using field data collected between 2008 2018 on the Fez catchment. The road used as proxy for stormwater network. Two production functions, SCS (1972) linear reservoir, coupled to lag route transfer function. Three types...
Anaerobic ammonia oxidation (Anammox) has been identified as a new general process-strategy for nitrogen removal in wastewater treatment. In order to evaluate the role and effects of Anammox process wetlands, laboratory-scale model experiments were performed with planted fixed bed reactors. A reactor (planted Juncus effusus) was fed synthetic containing 150–200 mg L−1 NH+4 75–480 NO−2. Under these operating conditions, plants affected by high nitrite concentrations rate fell within same...
Abstract Knowledge regarding the dynamics of arsenic species and their interactions under gradient redox conditions in treatment wetlands is still insufficient. The aim this investigation was to gain more information on biotransformation As horizontal subsurface‐flow constructed wetlands. Experiments were carried out laboratory‐scale wetland systems, two planted with Juncus effusus one unplanted, using an As‐containing artificial wastewater defined organic C‐ SO 4 2– ‐loading conditions....
In Australia, salinity has the potential to affect up 17million hectares of agricultural and pastoral land. For many degraded sites, biophysical hazards are often poorly understood consequently managed. Attempts remediate areas affected by have met with varying degrees success. The New South Wales (NSW) Office Environment Heritage, NSW Department Primary Industries, University Canberra Geoscience Australia collaborated develop a expert-based approach for assessment management within...
The Hydrogeological Landscape (HGL) Framework is a landscape-characterisation tool that used to discern areas of similar physical, hydrogeological, hydrological, chemical and biological properties, referred as HGL Units. facilitates prioritisation natural-resource management investment by identifying current potential hazards in the landscape. Within prioritised regions, on-ground actions are tailored for specific Management Areas within individual Unit boundaries determined through expert...
Different types of constructed wetlands in a pilot-plant system were fed with identical municipal waste water to compare the sanitisation process two-stage systems. With combinations vertical and horizontal flow filter an E. coli reduction 5 log10 influent concentration 107 MPN/100 ml was achieved. Using different materials each stage total performance independent from sequence these materials. However, using coarser material first makes less prone clogging is thus preferential option regard...
The hydrogeological landscape (HGL) framework provides a characterisation method that identifies areas of similar physical, hydrogeological, hydrological, chemical and biological properties, referred to as HGL units. underlying principle the is water distribution movement controlled by climate, landform, geology, regolith, soil vegetation properties. By understanding patterns variability in setting controls atmospheric, surface groundwater systems for given landscape, developed units,...
Debate over water movement processes and pathway contributions through the landscape into streams remains contested, as often paradox evidence between published studies demonstrate major differences in reported component contributions. The objectives of this paper are to add further ongoing debate using multidisciplinary field-based measurement techniques a focus around impact ancient palaeochannels for directing significant soil solutes relatively short reactive time frames during stream...
Abstract Pflanzenkläranlagen (vom Abwasser durch‐ bzw. überströmte bepflanzte Bodenfilter) werden seit einigen Jahrzehnten erfolgreich zur Abwasserreinigung eingesetzt. Design und Anwendung der Anlagen basieren im Wesentlichen auf Erfahrungswerten. Der Kenntnisstand zu den Reinigungsprozessen innerhalb Rhizosphäre ist als lückenhaft einzuschätzen. Intensive Grundlagenforschung notwendig, um die involvierten Prozesse deren Wechselwirkungen verstehen letztlich effiziente erweiterte Anwendungen...
During HIV-1 particle formation, the requisite plasma membrane curvature is thought to be solely driven by retroviral Gag protein. Here, we reveal that cellular I-BAR protein IRSp53 required for progression of complete assembly. Partial gene editing induces a decrease in viral production and bud arrest at half completion. Single molecule localization microscopy cell shows preferential around assembly sites. In addition, observe presence purified particles. Finally, localizes preferentially...
