    Water Pollution Research and Control Brighton 1988, Part 1 covers the proceedings of the 14th Biennial Conference of the International Association on Water Pollution Research and Control, held in Brighton, U.K. on July 18-21, 1988. This book is organized into five parts encompassing 37 chapters. The first part deals first with the practical performance of various systems for small-scale wastewater treatment and the application of dimensioned aerated grit chambers as a highly loaded activated sludge process. This part also considers the incidence of Sphaerotilus natans in laboratory scale activated sludge systems and he direct solid-liquid separation using hollow fiber membrane in an activated sludge aeration tank. The succeeding parts discuss the theoretical and operational benefits of anaerobic and industrial wastewater treatment. These topics are followed by presentation of activated sludge models, with particular emphasis on nitrification and precipitation modeling, as well as dynamic modeling of trace contaminant removal in a municipal sewage treatment plant. The last part explores the characteristics of biological phosphorus and phosphate removal process. This book will prove useful to chemical and environmental engineers and researchers in the related fields.

  • Perspectives in Abnormal Behavior

    Pergamon General Psychology Series
    • 1st Edition
    • Richard J. Morris
    • English
    Perspectives in Abnormal Behavior is a compilation of articles in the field of abnormal psychology. An article titled the Myth of Mental Illness discusses the different signs in determining a brain disease. The second article is about the diagnoses of schizophrenia. A section of the article talks about the misconception the public have about the disease and the symptoms associated with schizophrenia. Another part of the second article defines behaviors that are perceived as deviant. The third article in the book is addressed to the reliability of psychiatric diagnoses and covers the advantages and disadvantages of these diagnoses. The subsequent article rejects the method of psychiatric diagnoses and emphasizes the importance of using behavioral analysis in treating patients. The said article enumerates the problems in the diagnostic systems. Topic such as the methods of data collection for a functional analysis is also discussed. The book will be a useful tool for psychologists and academic students.

    • English
    International Series of Monographs in Pure and Applied Biology, Volume 9: The Vegetation of Poland focuses on the plant geography of Poland, including climate, hydrography, geology, and ecology. The selection first offers information on the historical outline of the development of plant geography and the factors affecting the geographical distribution of plants in Poland. Discussions focus on the development of phytogeographical cartography, floristic and ecological plant geography, and the climate, boundaries, land-relief, hydrography, and geology of Poland. The text then ponders on the influence of man and his economic activities on the vegetation of Poland and the floristic statistics and the elements of the Polish flora. The publication examines the terrestrial and fresh-water plant communities and vegetation of the Polish Baltic. Topics include composition and structure of plant communities and methods of their study, associations of coastal and inland dunes, aquatic and swamp associations, and the most important representatives of the benthic flora of the Polish Baltic. The manuscript is a dependable source of data for botanists and those concerned with the plant resources of nature, including agriculturists, horticulturists, and soil scientists.

    • English
    International Series of Monographs on Earth Sciences, Volume 3: Principles of Geochemical Prospecting: Techniques of Prospecting for Non-Ferrous Ores and Rare Metals covers the developments of theoretical premises of geochemical prospecting based on existing theories of endogenic and exogenic ore-formation. This volume is divided into 13 chapters, and begins with a presentation of the problems originating in geochemical prospecting. The next chapters evaluate the relative importance of different prospecting methods. Considerable chapters are devoted to a generalized view of prospecting work in different geologic, pedologic, climatic, and orographic environments. The remaining chapters are concerned with the clarification and an explanation of certain regularities, which could serve as the basis of a rational orientation of geochemical prospecting. This book is an invaluable source for geochemical prospectors, geologists, and geophysicists.
