An understanding of the nature of wastewater is essential in the design and operation of collection, treatment, and reuse facilities, and in the engineering management of environmental quality. To promote this understanding, the information in this chapter is presented in eight sections dealing with (1)an introduction to the constituents found in wastewater, (2)sampling and analytical procedures, (3) physical characteristics, (4)inorganic nonmetallic constituents, (5) metallic constituents

How p53 and Rb pathway function may be disrupted in cancer cells Components of the pathway which are found altered in human cancers are shown in red on the diagram above p53 and Rb themselves may be inactivated by gene mutation (loss of both copies or also as in familial retinoblastoma and Li-Fraumeni syndrome where there are inherited mutations in one copy of Rb or p53 gene respectively. Alternatively

The question of whether a govemment can go bankrupt in the Netherlands is not a new one. The Supreme Court, for example, was asked as early as 1922 whether a municipality(in this case, Wormerveer)could be decared bankrupt. Through the appeal in cassation, the court did not reach a principled verdict in this matter. Ever since, it has remained a vexed question that regularly kept rearing its head, both in the literature and in case-law. There were

ipids differ from the other classes of naturally occurring biomolecules (carbohy- drates, proteins, and nucleic acids)in that they are more soluble in non-to-weakly polar solvents(diethyl ether, hexane, dichloromethathan they are in water.they include a variety of structural types, a collection of which is introduced in this chapter. In spite of the number of different structural types, lipids share a common biosyn- thetic origin in that they are ultimately derived from glucose. During one stage of car- bohydrate metabolism, called glycolysis, glucose is converted to lactic acid. Pyruvic acid is an intermediate

Consumers are the centre of product development in the food industry, directly in the design of consumer products and indirectly in the design of commodity products and industrial products. In industrial product development, the emphasis is on the immediate customer, but consideration needs to be given to the acceptance of the final product by the consumer. It is important in product development to understand basic consumer behaviour and food choice as well as the individual product/consumer relationship(Earle, 1997). Differences among

The physico-chemical behavior of rare earth elements in low sulphur 16Mn steel and their ability to enhance the corrosion resistance of the steel in sea water studied in this paper. The results indicate that Ce and La in 16Mn steel all have the abilities such as deoxidation, desulphidation, refining grains and cleaning grain boundaries and matrix etc. The anodic and cathodic polarization curves show that the rare earth elements added in 16Mn steel enhance the corrosion resistance of the steel in sea water

(In, Co)共掺的ZnO薄膜（ICZO薄膜）在100 ℃下通过射频（RF）溅射沉积至玻璃基板上。沉积过程采用In、Co、Zn三靶共溅射。通过调节靶功率，获得了不同In含量的ICZO薄膜。研究了不同In含量下薄膜电学性质和磁学性质的变化。分别使用扫描电子显微镜（SEM）、高分辨透射电子显微镜（HR-TEM）、原子力显微镜（AFM）、电子探针扫描（EPMA）、X射线衍射仪(XRD)、霍尔测试（Hall measurement）和振动样品磁强计（VSM）对薄膜的成分、形貌、结构、电学特性和磁学特性进行了表征和分析。详细分析了薄膜中载流子浓度对磁学性质的影响。实验结果表明，随着薄膜中In含量的提高，薄膜中载流子浓度显著提高，薄膜的导电性得到优化。所有的薄膜均表现出室温下的铁磁特性。与此同时，束缚磁极化子（BMP）模型与交换耦合效应两种不同的机制作用于ICZO半导体材料，致使薄膜的饱和磁化强度随载流子浓度发生改变，并呈现在三个不同的区域

• Ⅰ. Amplification in English-Chinese translation • Amplification means to add necessary words, phrases, clauses or sentences to the translated text in purpose of making it consistent with the target language in meaning, grammar and culture connotation. Amplification does not add new information to the message and only help understand the text. In this part we will analyze how to use amplification to achieve equivalence in English-Chinese translation in these three levels, i.e. syntactic, semantic, and rhetorical. • 1) Her tone was more friendly than David’s (tone). • 2) She sang her sweetest (song). • 3) Shall I write my name on, above or below the line?
