Biodegradation of selected organic nitrogen compounds in activated sludge systems
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Activated sludge systems are commonly used to remove organic matter and nutrients from wastewater. They are also used to remove synthetic organic ... -
Development of implementation methods of water quality trading policy : using the Hydrological simulation program-Fortran (HSPF)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)The recently promulgated water quality trading (WQT) policy is an innovative approach for achieving water quality standards with flexibility and economic efficiency. The policy allows for the trading of point and nonpoint ... -
Environmental effects on subsurface defect detection in concrete without solar load
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] This study investigated the application of infrared (IR) thermography for the detection of subsurface damage in concrete. The deterioration of concrete ... -
Fabrication and modification of thin-film composite membrane for enhanced membrane performances
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Membrane application and technology have been explored due to the increase in organic and inorganic material contamination in water system. These works ... -
First-principle simulation of blast barrier effectiveness for the development of simplified design tools
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Blast barrier walls have been shown to reduce the blast load on structures in most scenarios. Analysis of existing data for blast barrier response ... -
Landscape analysis using GIS methodology for the evaluation and prediction of relationships of amphibian health in Missouri wetlands
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)A new methodology to quantify wetland health is developed using landscape characteristics for 49 wetlands in northern Missouri and relating them to wetland health. Wetland health was defined in this project as the presence ... -
Metallic nanotoxicity to bacteria and bacteriophages
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)The inhibitory effort of two commonly used nanoparticles, silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) and zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs), on the growth of bacteria (E. coli) and bacteriophage (MS2) were evaluated using a turbidimetric ...
