Evaluation of the Feasibility of Struvite Precipitation from Domestic Wastewater as an Alternative Phosphorus Fertilizer Resource
… phosphorus concentrations present in human excrement traveling through domestic wastewater treatment facilities is being disposed of directly to the environment, often resulting in pollution problems. Recovering phosphorus from wastewater with struvite precipitation systems at wastewater …

Studies on the transmission of the poultry disease, infectious synovitis, by using direct contact and insect vector methods
… close contact with inoculated chickens and their excrement. The observation of all tests indicated the absence of transmission of an infective titer of the infectious synovitis agent. These conclusions are drawn from tests using Aedes aegypti (Linn.) and Culex fatigans Wied., with methods and …

Timing recombinant prion protein conversion as a measure of prion activity in chronic wasting disease
… cervids shed the CWD prion in bodily fluids and excrement, contaminating the environment and creating an agricultural and ecological calamity. Preclinical antemortem CWD testing method is demanded by CWD risk management programs. In vitro PrP-conversion assays have been developed as potential …

Development of a Conceptual Framework for Adoption and Sustainable Utilization of Biogas as an Alternative Source of Energy for Emmission
… fermentation of biological waste, such as animal excrement, which is methane-rich. Fermentation also produces a nutrient-rich digestate. Biogas can be used for domestic purposes, such as cooking and heating. Furthermore, it can be converted into electricity. Biogas technology is of particular …

SEASONAL VARIATION IN ROTIFER OCCUPANCY WITHIN FRULLANIA EBORACENSIS LOBULES: ILLUMINATING A SYMBIOTIC RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TWO OVERLOOKED SPECIES
… and tests the hypothesis that rotifer excrement might be a source of nutrients for <em>F. eboracensis</em>. My goals were to 1) investigate how rotifers are distributed among <em>F. eboracensis</em>, 2) how rotifer abundance is impacted by seasonality, and 3) use quantum dot (QD) …

Molecular characterization of microbial communities in small-scale biodigesters using whole genome shotgun metagenomic approach
… degrade organic waste, such as animal excrement, through four key phases: hydrolysis, acidogenesis, acetogenesis, and methanogenesis, resulting in digestate and biogas production. Advances in metagenomic techniques, surpassing traditional culture-based methods, have enabled a deeper …

John Boyle, Greg Curnoe and Joyce Wieland: Erotic Art and English Canadian Nationalism
… and their phenomenal life as little more than excrement and treated the symbol or stereotype as the vessel of a holy transcendent reality.

Fate and transport of antibiotic resistant bacteria and resistance genes in artificially drained agricultural fields receiving swine manure application
… and antibiotic resistant bacteria in their excrement. Application of swine manure to agricultural fields as fertilizer creates a pathway for antibiotic resistant bacteria and their associated resistance genes to enter the environment. This study monitored enterococci, tylosin resistant …

The geochemistry of fossil termite nests in Calitzdorp, Western Cape, South Africa
… termitaria using a combination of saliva and excrement (frass), resulting in geochemically distinct termitaria relative to the host soils. The enrichment of exchangeable bases derived from organic matter, including termite frass, and upward groundwater movement frequently leads to …

The Signatory Imagination: James Joyce, Samuel Beckett, Seamus Heaney, Don DeLillo
… to preserve lettering, Beckett's interest in excrement ('First Love') and mud (How It Is) remaps inscription onto immanence. Rather than seeking immortality through lithic preservation, Beckett's characters yearn to 'return to the mineral state', to have their bodies subsumed and dispersed …

Effects of burrowing sandprawns (Callichirus kraussi) on urban estuarine water quality
… but they may also be a source of nutrient-rich excrement inputs into the water column. To determine the effects of C. kraussi on water quality, a laboratory mesocosm experiment and comparative in situ analysis were used in this study. In the mesocosm experiment, water quality at 3 increasing C. …

Facultative mutualism between the navel orangeworm Amyelois transitella (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) and Aspergillus flavus
… a viable colony, indicating that caterpillar excrement may be an alternative vehicle for fungal dispersal. If the interaction between the navel orangeworm and Aspergillus fungi represents a mutualistic relationship, it would be highly advantageous for the insect to be able to identify and seek …

Validation of Pathogen Surrogate Escherichia coli strains for Systemic Microbial Reductions in Fresh Beef Harvest and Processing
… animals defecate and spread bacteria from the excrement onto their hide or from the pens, the trailer or other animals. Once hides are removed, the legs, or shanks, are one of the most highly contaminated regions of the carcass, thus is an area of concern when application of interventions is …

GLUCOSE ELECTROOXIDATION
… domestic wastewater, marine sediment, or human excrement in space. A novel carbon nanotube-cotton (CNT-cotton) composite material with high conductivity and high porosity was proposed to be used as anode for achieving high-performance MFCs. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images of …

Visceral Creativity: Digestion, Earthly Melancholy, and Materiality in the Graphic Arts of Early Modern France and the German-Speaking Lands (c. 1530-1675)
Building on recent scholarship in the history of art which has started to reappraise the meaning of grotesque and scatological motifs, this thesis examines how digestion was conceived of as a model of creation, and how this was translated visually. Renaissance creativity was increasingly modelled …
