Effects of forest expansion and land abandonment on ecosystem services of alpine environments: case study in Ledro valley (Italy) for the period 1859-2011

by

Vassilis Aschonitis et al. View all

Issue 4

Environmental management and policy

During the last century, the European Alps have faced intense socio-economic changes, which have led to respective land-use changes with immediate impact on ecosystem services (ESs). The aim of the study is to present the land-use changes and their effects on the economical contribution of ESs in...

Treatment of high-strength rare-earth ammonia wastewater with two-stage anammox process

by

Wenjie Z. et al. View all

Issue 4

Water and wastewater treatment and reuse

In this study, a two-stage anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) system—including a partial nitritation system with a biological selector (PNBS) and a granular activated carbon-based granule anammox process (GAP) —was used for the treatment of real high-strength rare-earth ammonia wastewater (HRAW)...

Factorial design and optimization of leachate treatment using persulfate oxidation

by

Dr.Salem S. Abu Amr et al. View all

Issue 4

Water and wastewater treatment and reuse

The current study aimed to evaluate the performance of sodium persulfate to treat stabilized landfill leachate. Factorial design with response surface methodology (RSM) was used to evaluate the interaction between operational conditions, such as persulfate dosage, pH, and reaction time, to obtain...

Comparison of a black-box model to a traditional numerical model for Hydraulic Head Prediction

by

Karatzas G.P. et al. View all

Issue 4

General

Two different methodologies for hydraulic head simulation were compared in this study. The first methodology is a classic numerical groundwater flow simulation model, Princeton Transport Code (PTC), while the second one is a black-box approach that uses Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs). Both...

Assessing the Sensitivity of SWMM to Variations in Hydrological and Hydraulic Parameters: A Case Study for the city of Istanbul

by

Basak Guven et al. View all

Issue 4

Hydrology and Water Resources Management

Overland flow is highly affected by increasing urbanization, and variations in land use and climatic variables, especially in the last few decades. This necessitates the development of modeling approaches for planning and management of catchments that play a significant role on water supply. The...

Modeling and characterization of natural organic matter and its relationship with the THMs formation

by

Brijesh Kumar Mishra et al. View all

Issue 4

Air pollution and health

Natural organic matter (NOM) has been identified as the prominent precursor for disinfection by-products (DBPs) formation during chlorination. Various studies have shown that the characteristics of NOM influence the Trihalomethanes (THMs) formation mechanism. The present study represents NOM...

Odour measurement in wastewater treatment plant using both European and Japanese standardized methods: correlation and comparison study

by

Tiziano Zarra (tzarra@unisa.it) et al. View all

Issue 4

Air pollution and health

Odours discharged from wastewater treatment plants generally cause severe damage to locals. When facility odors affect air quality and cause citizen complaints, an investigation of those odours may require using standardized scientific methods. Odour intensity is one of the main odour...
