In situ detection of multitarget impurities on contact lens by electrochemical scanning probe

Identifying multitarget impurities on contact lenses is challenging because traditional methods such as polymerase chain reaction cannot be used on the unknown target. Other sampling methods often require expensive antibodies or dyes. Therefore, this resea ...

Soil-Structure Interaction effects on the seismic behavior of steel moment resisting frames: Preliminary assessment

Dimitrios Lignos

The purpose of this paper is to assess the influence of soil-structure interaction and site effects on the seismic behavior of steel moment-resisting frames, with a view to describing the underlying “physics” behind the damage mechanisms triggered. We exam ...

Impact of iron- and/or sulfate-reduction on a cis-1,2-dichloroethene and vinyl chloride respiring bacterial consortium: experiments and model-based interpretation

Christof Holliger, Julien Maillard, Alexandra Marie Murray

Process understanding of microbial communities containing organohalide-respiring bacteria (OHRB) is important for effective bioremediation of chlorinated ethenes. The impact of iron and sulfate reduction on cis-1,2-dichloroethene (cDCE) and vinyl chloride ...

Effects of flooding on phosphorus and iron mobilization in highly weathered soils under different land-use types: Short-term effects and mechanisms

Thomas Guillaume

The strong affinity of phosphorus (P) to iron (Fe) oxides and hydroxides in highly weathered tropical soils limits P availability and therefore plant productivity in tropics. In flooded soils, however, P fixed by Fe oxides and hydroxides can be released in ...

Validation of an integrative methodology to assess and monitor reductive dechlorination of chlorinated ethenes in contaminated aquifers

Christof Holliger, Pierre Rossi, Sonia Estelle Tarnawski

Bioremediation of tetra-and trichloroethene-contaminated aquifers is requently hampered due to incomplete dechlorination to the more toxic dichloroethene (DCE) and vinyl chloride (VC), indicating insufficient knowledge about the biological mechanisms relat ...

Correlations between environmental variables and bacterial community structures suggest Fe(III) and vinyl chloride reduction as antagonistic terminal electron-accepting processes

Christof Holliger, Pierre Rossi, Noam Shani

Natural attenuation of anaerobic aquifers contaminated with tetrachloroethene (PCE) often results in the accumulation of the intermediates cis-dichloroethene and vinyl chloride (VC) which are even more toxic than the parent compound. Reasons for this accum ...

Soil microbial community changes in wooded mountain pastures due to simulated effects of cattle grazing

Alexandre Buttler, François Gillet, Jean-Michel Gobat

The effect of cattle activity on pastures can be subdivided into three categories of disturbances: herbage removal, dunging and trampling. The objective of this study was to assess separately or in combination the effect of these factors on the potential a ...
