TL;DR: Nonylphenol is a toxic xenobiotic compound classified as an endocrine disrupter capable of interfering with the hormonal system of numerous organisms and is found often in matrices such as sewage sludge, effluents from sewage treatment works, river water and sediments, soil and groundwater.

TL;DR: Variation in the volume and composition of urine is caused by differences in physical exertion, environmental conditions, as well as water, salt, and high protein intakes, which should always be considered if the generation rate, physical, and chemical composition of feces and urine is to be accurately predicted.

TL;DR: Establishing a general model to describe membrane fouling in such a process is made extremely difficult by the inherent heterogeneity of the biomass matrix, which is highly heterogeneous and includes living microorganisms.

TL;DR: Current theoretical understanding of floc growth and breakage and an analysis of different techniques used for measuring floc strength are reviewed, with general trends emerge showing that smaller flocs tend to have greater strength than largerflocs, whilst the use of polymer seems to give increased strength to only some types offloc.

TL;DR: This paper characterises the AOM originating from four algae species using techniques including dissolved organic carbon, specific UV absorbance, zeta potential, charge density, hydrophobicity, protein and carbohydrate content, molecular weight and fluorescence, demonstrating that AOM is of a very different character to natural organic matter (NOM).
