TL;DR: In this paper, the sustainability of algal biomass as a feedstock for bio-fuels, due to differences in data aggregation, life cycle boundaries, technical and life cycle assumptions, environmental metrics considered, and use of experimental, modeled or assumed data, is compared.

TL;DR: One set of results demonstrates that construction of small-cluster decentralized wastewater treatment system could be more economical than a centralized plant when communities are spatially scattered or located at steep areas where pumping costs may be prohibitive.

TL;DR: In this article, the vibrational spectrum of H 3 O +, and [(H 2 O) x H + ] with x = 2, 3 or 4, H 3 o radicals, H 2 O complexes and H 3 − O −.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the potential contribution of recycling methods and alternative sources of nutrients to reduce the synthetic fertilizer requirement for bio-fuel production from microalgae, and showed that the amount of nitrogen required for biofuel production in the gulf region of the United States is not a limitation if recycling methods within the process chain are utilized.

TL;DR: Comparison of calculated and experimentally measured As-O and As-Fe bond distances indicated that As( III) forms both bidentate and monodentante corner-sharing complexes with Fe(III) octahedra, which was the most energetically favorable in the vacuum phase and in the aqueous phase.
