Urban microcosm
Over the course of time, the built environment has been a manifestation of human ideals and aspirations. Although these ideals, diverse and varied in each case, are only present in a small few of the buildings that are actually constructed, it ls my belief that they are the givers of meaning and …

Analysis of multispecies microcosm experiments
… structure inherent in ecosystems. Multispecies microcosm experiments are gaining widespread acceptance as an important vehicle in understanding the nature and magnitude of effects for more complex systems. Microcosm experiments are complex and costly to conduct. Consequently, sample sizes are …

Bioremediation of Pcb Contaminated Surface Soil: A Microcosm Study
… surface soil was evaluated using serum bottle microcosms containing aceticlastic methanogenic consortium, enriched from a municipal anaerobic digester. Two different experiments, "intermediate feed" and "starve and feed" were conducted by manipulating the methanogenic consortium with different …

Anti-Caries Efficacy of Fluoride at Increasing Maturation of a Microcosm Biofilm
… negative control)) at increasing maturation of a microcosm biofilm. We continued the pH cycling protocol for 4 days, 8 days, and 12 days. We tested biofilm cariogenicity and carious lesion severity at each maturation stage. In the third aim, we used the developed model to test the effect of …

The effects of atrazine on nitrogen cycling in a freshwater wetland microcosm
… cycling. The addition of atrazine to a wetland microcosm will disrupt the nitrogen cycle by inhibiting nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria. The inhibition or absence of functional groups of bacteria will limit the ability of the wetland to remove nutrients and herbicides, thus increasing …

Evaluation of Enhanced Bioremediation for Reductive Dechlorination of Tetrachloroethene (PCE): Microcosm Study
Laboratory microcosm experiments were conducted to assess the potential for biostimulation and bioaugmentation as source reduction measures in support of a monitored natural attenuation remedial strategy at Naval Amphibious Base (NAB) Little Creek. Previous work with laboratory microcosms conducted …

The Feasibility of Bioaugmentation for the Remediation of Chlorinated Solvents: A Microcosm Study
… threat to ecological health. In this study, microcosms were used to test the viability of bioaugmentation as a possible remediation strategy at a PCE contaminated site at the Naval Amphibious Base at Little Creek located in Virginia Beach, Virginia. All microcosms were created in duplicate …

Environment risk assessment for toxic chemicals and genetically-engineered microorganisms: a microcosm approach
Microcosms were used in this research to assess the environmental risk associated with two types of stressors: genetically-engineered microorganisms (GEMs) and toxic chemicals. Approaches used to evaluate the potential environmental impact of these two stressors are fundamentally different, and …

A microcosm study of the biodegradability of adsorbed toluene by acclimated bacteria in soils
… gutjga known to readily transform toluene. Soil microcosms were established in test-tubes and conditions simulated those of a saturated, aerobic aquifer. Gas chromatography was used to quantify changes in toluene concentration due to adsorption and biodegradation. The addition of an aqueous …

A statistical approach to understanding microcosm methods for microbially mediated dechlorination of trichloroethene in bedrock aquifers
<p>Microcosms were evaluated using statistical methods to advance the measurement and characterization abilities for in situ reductive dechlorination of trichloroethene (TCE) in fractured rock aquifers. Microcosms constructed with unincubated crushed rock in groundwater provided the best microcosm …

Resorts in Southern Appalachia: A Microcosm of American Resorts in the Nineteenth and Early Twentieth centuries.
<p>Five resorts in East Tennessee--Montvale Springs and the Wonderland Hotel in the Smokies, Tate Spring in the Holston River Valley, Unaka Springs on the Nolichucky River, and the Cloudland Hotel at the summit of Roan Mountain--stand testament to the proposition that their region engaged fully …
