Mechanisms of sludge reduction in Nostocoides -driven enhanced biological phosphorus removal process

Nostocoides, a key phosphate-accumulating organism (PAOs), is abundant in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs); however, the mechanism of sludge reduction in biological phosphorus removal systems under its dominance remains largely unknown. This study employed a lab-scale, explora...

Research highlights the varying experiences individuals have when seeking to become parents for the first time or wishing to extend their existing family through adoption. This review synthesizes qualitative literature on these experiences. Nine papers were analyzed using themati...

Diagenetic controls on reservoir quality and heterogeneity of eocene red-bed sandstones: a case study from the Shahejie Formation, southern Bohai Bay basin, China

The lower sub-member of the fourth member of the Eocene Shahejie Formation (LSm-ESF) in the southern Bohai Bay Basin hosts red-bed sandstones that are increasingly targeted as deep hydrocarbon reservoirs, yet the quantitative controls of diagenesis on their reservoir quality rema...
