Journal ArticleDOI
Activated sludge flocculation: on-line determination of floc size and the effect of shear
Catherine A. Biggs,Paul Lant +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of shear on the steady-state floc size was investigated and the median flee size was found to increase until an equilibrium between the rates of aggregation and breakage was reached.
Journal ArticleDOI
An insight into iTRAQ: where do we stand now?
Caroline Evans Evans,Josselin Noirel,Saw Yen Ow,Malinda Salim,Ana G. Pereira-Medrano,Narciso Couto,Jagroop Pandhal,Duncan L. Smith,Trong Khoa Pham,Esther Karunakaran,Xin Zou,Catherine A. Biggs,Phillip C. Wright +12 more
TL;DR: Technical developments targeted at iTRAQ accuracy and precision, use of 4-plex over 8-plex reagents and application of iTRAZ to post-translational modification (PTM) workflows are focused on.
Journal ArticleDOI
Methodological approaches for studying the microbial ecology of drinking water distribution systems
TL;DR: The currently available methods and emerging approaches for characterising microbial communities, including both planktonic and biofilm ways of life, are critically evaluated and will assist hydraulic engineers and microbial ecologists in choosing the most appropriate tools to assess drinking water microbiology and related aspects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of the extracellular polymeric substances produced by Escherichia coli using infrared spectroscopic, proteomic, and aggregation studies.
TL;DR: The aim of this study was to characterize the free extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) and bound EPS produced by Escherichia coli during different growth phases in different media, and to investigate the role of the free EPS in promoting aggregation.
Journal ArticleDOI
An experimental investigation of particle fragmentation using single particle impact studies
TL;DR: In this article, a continuous air gun was used to examine the effect of particle velocity, impact angle, particle diameter, target material, target thickness and number of impacts on the fragmentation of spherical aluminium oxide particles.
