This work leveraged a tubular photobioreactor (PBR) system to evaluate the effect of a natural microalgal consortium on amended secondary clarifier effluent from the Urbana, IL water resource recovery facility. The photobioreactor is critical to ensure algae dominance over heterotrophic bacteria, but phosphorus uptake has been shown to be achieved in a dark mix tank. The objective of the work was to determine whether the system could use light time in the photobioreactor for carbohydrate storage and still achieve the adequate nutrient removal in the dark. The system was cycled between light and dark conditions, on the timescale of hours, with the goal of creating phosphorus-deplete conditions in the light, to see if phosphorus removal occurred when fresh influent was added in the dark. Different experimental conditions were evaluated with the goal to achieve complete phosphorus removal, but ultimately, the system was unable to achieve the level of removal necessary for full-scale implementation under these conditions. Since complete phosphorus removal was not achieved, carbohydrates were not stored in the light and no phosphorus removal occurred in the dark. Many different troubleshooting steps were attempted (e.g., increased solids and liquids residence times, cycle time, light exposure, aeration and pH control) but even under the less conservative conditions, the removal was not achieved, presumably because the limiting factor was not identified. The results of this study will still be able to help inform full-scale design and operation of algal treatment processes, as insight was gained into the laboratory reactor setup.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'Closed Access', the embargo will last until 2021-08-01This Thesis was approved for publication on 2019-07-15 at 13:25.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #14270 on 2019-11-26 at 14:03:58Made available in DSpace on 2019-11-26T20:59:46Z (GMT).

James Bond: international man of gastronomy
No full textThis article is concerned with the representation of food and drink in Ian Fleming’s James Bond novels. In particular, it examines how the author uses Bond’s culinary knowledge and habits of consumption as an important constituent of his hero’s character. Similarly, the food choices of other characters, notably villains, are shown to be linked, by Fleming, to core aspects of their identity − principally their ethnicity. Bond’s impulse to observe and classify, very much in evidence in the novels’ food sequences, is examined in terms of the texts’ construction of Bond as a skilled identifier of signs

Inorganic polymer fiber composites for protection of structures
No full textThe primary focus of this thesis is to demonstrate the suitability of an inorganic polymer composite for transportation structures. The three major themes are: field application, graffiti resistance, and evaluation of self-cleaning and de-pollution properties. Previous Studies have demonstrated the potential of the composite made of alumino-silicate polymer and carbon fibers for field applications. This thesis presents results of three field applications, evaluation of graffiti resistance including removal techniques and documentation for self-cleaning and de-pollution properties. For field application, pigment combinations were developed to match the colors of existing structures or to blend with the surrounding areas. Two field applications were done primarily by the author and the third one was completed with the help of daily laborers supplied by a contractor. In all three cases the applications were completed without encountering any technical problems. In the area of graffiti resistance, commercially available products are reviewed. After evaluation of various removal techniques the author recommends the use of citric-based cleaner with high pressure washer or high pressure water with baking soda. For self cleaning, both laboratory and filed tests were conducted. The results show that the coating effectively cleans organic pollutants and the results compare well with those reported for anatase Titanium Dioxide containing concrete and mortar. Performance in the field can be simulated in the laboratory by using UV lamps. The results of the de-pollution study also shows that the results are comparable to the results reported in the European PICADA study where they used concrete or concrete mortar containing Titanium Dioxide. Based on the results obtained it can be concluded that the composite is ready for large scale field applications.M.S.Includes abstractIncludes bibliographical referencesby Jeremy Brownstei
Jeremy Waldron and the Philosopher\u27s Stone
No full textThe author considers Jeremy Waldron\u27s argument in favour of referring to, and on occasion perhaps even deferring to, foreign law. Waldron rests his argument on an analogy to how science works. The author argues this analogy is flawed. Indeed the author argues that Waldron\u27s position on this issue is inconsistent with his earlier writings on the undesirability of strong judicial review under an entrenched bill of rights
A Visit (in 1831) To Jeremy Bentham
No full textUpon the death of his father Jeremiah in 1792, Jeremy Bentham inherited the family home in Queen’s Square Place, Westminster. Queen’s Square Place consisted of two houses, and it was in the larger of these two residences that Bentham lived for the next forty years. Bentham referred to his abode as the Hermitage and himself as the Hermit. Despite this apparent reclusiveness, many notable statesmen, politicians, lawyers, and intellectuals visited him, although some equally prominent figures (such as Madame de Staël) were refused an audience.
This text is the most detailed account that has hitherto appeared of how Jeremy Bentham lived at Queen's Square Place, his home in Westminster, during his final years. The author, George Wheatley, visited Bentham in March 1831, and stayed with him for approximately three weeks. Six of Wheatley's letters sent to his sister during his stay, as well as six extracts from his journal, and a short commentary on John Hill Burton's 'Benthamiana', were collated and printed privately for the author by P.H. Youngman, Maldon, in about 1853. The resulting volume, 64 pages long and entitled 'A Visit (in 1830) to Jeremy Bentham' has been transcribed and lightly annotated, and is published online here for the first time. The only known copy of the text is in the possession of the Bentham Project.
The text also features an editorial introduction by Dr Kris Grint
Personalities in Publishing: Jeremy Wilson
