    High efficiency removal of phosphate from water by zirconium sulfate-surfactant micelle mesostructure immobilized on polymer matrix

    Full text link
    A zirconium sulfate-surfactant micelle mesostructure (ZS) was synthesized to investigate its capacity for phosphate removal from water. Its phosphate adsorption kinetics, the effect of pH and interfering anions, adsorption isotherm, desorption capacity, and reusability were investigated. The adsorption isotherms could be described by the Langmuir model. The ZS was an effective adsorbent for phosphate with a very high adsorption capacity (114 mg P/g ZS). The phosphate adsorption capacity increased with decrease in pH. Although the adsorption of nitrate, chloride and acetate ions was negligible, bicarbonate ions were found to be possible interfering anions. The adsorbed phosphate was desorbed effectively using NaOH solution. Since breakage of ZS particles resulted when using NaOH, ZS was immobilized on a polymer matrix and a 50-cycle adsorption–desorption test was carried out to determine the ZS-immobilized polymer (P-ZS) reusability. The P-ZS retained its functionality and adsorption and desorption capacity over 50 cycles without loss of original capacity. A phosphate solution containing about 10 mg P/L was treated in a column packed with P-ZS. The phosphate could be adsorbed completely onto P-ZS up to 1020 bed volumes. These results indicate clearly that ZS is a highly effective adsorbent for phosphate and enables the removal of phosphate from water

    Comparisons between POC and zooplankton swimmer flux from sediment traps in the subarctic and subtropical North Pacific

    Full text link
    Seasonal changes in zooplankton swimmer (ZS) abundance, biomass and community structure were evaluated based on samples collected by moored sediment traps at a depth of 200 m in the subarctic (SA) and subtropical (ST) western North Pacific. Based on these samples, we made comparisons on two topics: 1) latitudinal (subarctic vs. subtropical) changes in ZS abundance, biomass and community and 2) quantitative differences between the ZS and particle organic carbon (POC) fluxes based on data from moored or drifting sediment traps. The results showed that the ZS flux was greater in the SA (annual mean: 311 ind. m−2 day−1 or 258 mg C m−2 day−1) than in the ST (135 ind. m−2 day−1 or 38 mg C m−2 day−1). The peak ZS flux was observed from July–August in the SA and from April–May in the ST. The dominant taxa were Copepoda and Chaetognatha in the SA and Ostracoda and Mollusca in the ST. These latitudinal differences are likely related to the dominance of large-sized Copepoda in the SA, regional differences in the timing of the spring phytoplankton bloom, and the magnitude and size structure of primary producers. The percent composition of ZS to the total C flux (= ZS+POC flux) varied by region: 85–95% in the SA and 47–75% in the ST. These differences between the ZS composition and the total C flux are most likely caused by the dominance of large-sized Copepoda (Neocalanus spp. and Eucalanus bungii) in the SA

    Kernel Density Independence Sampling based Monte Carlo Scheme (KISMCS) for inverse hydrological modeling

    No full text
    Posterior sampling methods are increasingly being used to describe parameter and model predictive uncertainty in hydrologic modelling. This paper proposes an alternative to random walk chains (such as DREAM-zs). We propose a sampler based on independence chains with an embedded feature of standardized importance weights based on Kernel density estimates. A Markov Chain Monte Carlo sampling algorithm is proposed with Metropolis-Hastings (M-H) updates using an independence sampler. The independence sampler ensures that candidate observations are drawn independently of the current state of a chain, thereby ensuring efficient exploration of the target distribution. The M-H acceptance-rejection criterion is used to sample across 3 chains, which ensures that the chains are well mixed. Kernel density estimation on last 600 samples in a chain is used to calculate standardized importance weights within the independence sampler to ensure fast convergence of sampled points to the target distribution. Its performance is contrasted with a state of the art algorithm, Differential Evolution Adaptive Metropolis (DREAM-zs), based on a toy 10 dimensional bi-modal Gaussian mixture distribution and HYMOD model based synthetic and real world case studies. The comparison of KISMCS and DREAM-zs is done based on their convergence to ‘true’ posterior parameter distributions in case of synthetics case studies and their convergence to a stationary distribution in case of real world hydrological modeling case studies.Water ManagementCivil Engineering and Geoscience

    Reimagined onboarding process as a tool to avoid attrition of Millennials and Gen Zs in companies in Finland

    Full text link
    The purpose of this research is to offer a solution to companies in Finland for reducing attrition rates of Millennials and Gen Zs through the improved and customized onboarding process. The findings will eventually assist the author in the process of developing her business idea and service design. On these grounds, the research has aimed to gather information about onboarding practices in Finland from the perspective of Millennials and Gen Zs. The primary data that was used was collected in the period from January to July 2020 in two ways. One way was a survey that was launched online through social media platforms and e-mail, and another way was semi-structured interviews that were conducted with the participants face-to-face or via online video calls on Skype and Zoom. The sample of the respondents counted 58 persons in total, of whom 51 answered to the survey and 7 to the interview. All respondents were between 18 and 39 years old, males and females who have had an experience of working in Finland. Since the collected data was quantitative and qualitative, several analysis methods were used. Quantitative data were analyzed through descriptive statistics and inferential statistics and for analyzing qualitative data, methods that were used were content analysis and narrative analysis. The results revealed that the onboarding process does have a significant impact on the Millennials’ and Gen Zs decision to work for a company long term. Therefore, companies in Finland were advised to have a formal onboarding process in place for each new Millennial and Gen Z employee. However, the onboarding process needs to be for at least 6 months long and it should include orientation, job training, career planning, and frequent follow-up and feedback sessions. Further research may be needed to understand the perspectives of companies and HR professionals in Finland on this topic. It would also be beneficial to research the recent events related to the Covid19 pandemic and its impact on the onboarding process planning and HR Management in general
