Abstract:
Intact soil-core microcosms were used to compare persistence of Pseudomonas chlororaphis 3732RN-L11 in fallow soil and on wheat roots with field releases at diverse sites. Parallel field and microcosm releases at four sites in 1996 were repeated with addition of one site in 1997. Microcosms were obtained fresh and maintained at 60% soil water holding capacity in a growth chamber at 70% relative humidity, a 12-hour photoperiod, and constant temperature. Persistence of 3732RN-L11 was measured at each site in field plots and microcosms at 7–21 day intervals, and in duplicate microcosms sampled at an independent laboratory. Linear regression slopes of field plot and microcosm persistence were compared for each site, and between identical microcosms sampled at different sites, using log10transformed plate counts. Microcosm persistence closely matched field plots for wheat roots, but persistence in fallow soil differed significantly in several instances where persistence in field plots was lower than in microcosms. Analysis of weather variations at each site indicated that rainfall events of 30–40 mm caused decreased persistence in fallow soil. Cooler temperatures enhanced persistence in field plots at later time points. Inter-laboratory comparison of regression slopes showed good agreement for data generated at different sites, though in two instances, longer sampling periods at one site caused significant differences between the sites. Soil characteristics were compared and it was found that fertility, namely the carbon to nitrogen ratio, and the presence of expanding clays, were related to persistence. These microcosm protocols produced reliable data at low cost, and were useable for pre-release risk analyses for microorganisms.Key words: microcosm, soil, microbiology, risk assessment, 3732RN-L11.

Abstract:
Activated sludge (AS) microcosm experiments usually begin with inoculating a bioreactor with an AS mixed culture. During the bioreactor startup, AS communities undergo, to some extent, a distortion in their characteristics (e.g., loss of diversity). This work aimed to provide a predictive understanding of the dynamic changes in the community structure and diversity occurring during aerobic AS microcosm startups. AS microcosms were developed using three frequently used carbon sources: acetate (A), glucose (G), and starch (S), respectively. A mathematical modeling approach quantitatively determined that 1.7–2.4 times the solid retention time (SRT) was minimally required for the microcosm startups, during which substantial divergences in the community biomass and diversity (33–45% reduction in species richness and diversity) were observed. A machine learning modeling application using AS microbiome data could successfully (>95% accuracy) predict the assembly pattern of aerobic AS microcosm communities responsive to each carbon source. A feature importance analysis pinpointed specific taxa that were highly indicative of a microcosm feed source (A, G, or S) and significantly contributed for the ML-based predictive classification. The results of this study have important implications on the interpretation and validity of microcosm experiments using AS.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT The factors involved in the survival of Legionella pneumophila in the microcosms of both hot spring water and tap water were studied by examining cultivability and metabolic activity. L. pneumophila could survive by maintaining metabolic activity but was noncultivable in all microcosms at 42°C, except for one microcosm with a pH of <2.0. Lower temperatures supported survival without loss of cultivability. The cultivability declined with increasing temperature, although metabolic activity was observed at temperatures of up to 45°C. The optimal range of pH for survival was between 6.0 and 8. The metabolic activity could be maintained for long periods even in microcosms with high concentrations of salt. The cultivability of organisms in the post-exponential phase in a tap water microcosm with a low inoculum size was more rapidly reduced than that of organisms in the exponential phase. In contrast, the loss of cultivability in microcosms of a high inoculum size was significant in the exponential phase. Random(ly) amplified polymorphic DNA analysis of microcosms where cultivability was lost but metabolic activity was retained showed no change compared to cells grown freshly, although an effect on the amplified DNA band pattern by production of stress proteins was expected. Resuscitation by the addition of Acanthamoeba castellanii to the microcosm in which cultivability was completely lost but metabolic activity was maintained was observed only in part of the cell population. Our results suggest that L. pneumophila cell populations can potentially survive as free organisms for long periods by maintaining metabolic activity but temporarily losing cultivability under strict environments and requiring resuscitation by ingestion by amoebas.

Full text
Abstract:
Microcosms, simplified analogues of natural ecosystems, are a useful tool for studies of litter decomposition. A literature review shows that if microcosms are carefully constructed to mimic nature accurately, they allow researchers to control and independently vary normally covarying environmental factors (temperature, moisture, soil animals) that influence decomposition rates, while maintaining a sufficiently natural situation so that results of laboratory tests may be extrapolated to the field situation with confidence. A simple, inexpensive system of laboratory microcosms for decomposition studies is described and evaluated in this paper. The microcosm, housed within an airtight PVC chamber, consists of a litter layer overlying a core of forest floor strata collected with a minimum of disturbance to physical structure and populations of soil organisms. The microcosms have been tested with soil and litter from an aspen woodland and a pine forest, at temperatures ranging from −6 to +26 °C, and have been maintained in the laboratory for up to 6 months without significant deterioration. The microcosm system provided decomposition estimates that were precise, replicable, and rapidly obtained by measuring either mass loss or CO2 efflux from litter samples. Problems with the method include rapid increases in populations of some soil animals, difficulty in controlling relative humidity, and acceleration of decay rates compared with those in litter in the field.

Abstract:
The aim of this study was to evaluate the in situ bioprecipitation (ISBP) and zero-valent iron (ZVI) for removal of arsenic from groundwater. Batch experiments were set up to test the metal/oxyanion removal efficiency using the processes induced by ZVI, by ISBP and by combining both technologies. For the construction of microcosms in anaerobic condition, aquifer material was mixed with synthetic groundwater in serum bottles. Solutions that contained commercial iron (powder, filings), iron from foundry (chips) and lactate with the carbon concentration of 0.02% (w/v) were amended. After 57 days the pH increased to 7.9 in the microcosm with lactate + iron chips. In the microcosms amended with lactate + commercial iron (powder and filings), pH was between 6.9 and 7.5 The highest decrease in sulfate concentrations was observed in the microcosm supplied with lactate (from 1,976 to 630 mg/L), and with lactate + iron filings (from 1,985 to 1,280 mg/L). The results showed that ISBP and ZVI can be efficient in the removal of As from groundwater; however, it strongly depends on the type and particle size of ZVI. The most effective was commercial ZVI. The highest decrease in As concentration was observed in the microcosm supplied with ethanol and iron powder (from 4,832 to 131 μg/L).

Abstract:
The purpose of the present study was to explore the potential behavioural changes of Pseudomonas aeruginosa following growth in different aquatic environmental conditions. To achieve this, P. aeruginosa was cultured in various water microcosms for 12 months under fixed (pH, nutrients and temperature) factors. P. aeruginosa responses to these conditions were investigated using colony morphotype, biochemical and enzymatic characterisation, pyocin typing, serotyping, sensitivity to different classes of antibiotics and molecular identification. Results show that starvation in water microcosms lead to unusual phenotypes. Of interest is that the pyocin changed from 24/n in the wild type to 83/a following culture in the water microcosms, and the serotype changed from O6 in the wild type to O1 in microcosm-cultured P. aeruginosa. Furthermore, the starvation period in various aquatic microcosms enhanced the resistance of P. aeruginosa against beta-lactam antibiotics. Compared to the other aquatic environments, the seawater microcosm produced the greatest amount of variations in P. aeruginosa. Overall, data demonstrated a high adaptability of P. aeruginosa to environmental changes. This may explain the unusual antibiotic-resistant phenotypes belonging to P. aeruginosa species, and their capacity for spreading that leads to human infections.

Full text
Abstract:
This study aimed to investigate the Hg removal efficiency of iron sulfide (FeS), sulfurized activated carbon (SAC), and raw activated carbon (AC) sorbents influenced by salinity and dissolved organic matter (DOM), and the effectiveness of these sorbents as thin layer caps on Hg-contaminated sediment remediation via microcosm experiments to decrease the risk of release. In the batch adsorption experiments, FeS showed the greatest Hg2+ removal efficiencies, followed by SAC and AC. The effect of salinity levels on FeS was insignificant. In contrast, the Hg2+ removal efficiency of AC and SAC increased as increasing the salinity levels. The presence of DOM tended to decrease Hg removal efficiency of sorbents. Microcosm studies also showed that FeS had the greatest Hg sorption in both freshwater and estuary water; furthermore, the methylmercury (MeHg) removal ability of sorbents was greater in the freshwater than that in the estuary water. Notably, for the microcosms without capping, the overlying water MeHg in the estuary microcosm (0.14−1.01 ng/L) was far lesser than that in the freshwater microcosms (2.26−11.35 ng/L). Therefore, Hg compounds in the freshwater may be more bioavailable to microorganisms in methylated phase as compared to those in the estuary water. Overall, FeS showed the best Hg removal efficiency, resistance to salinity, and only slightly affected by DOM in aqueous adsorption experiments. Additionally, in the microcosms, AC showed as the best MeHg adsorber that help inhibiting the release of MeHg into overlying and decreasing the risk to the aqueous system.

Abstract:
Civic-ceremonial plaza planning is analyzed at Tenam Rosario, the capital center of a small Late/Terminal Classic period (A.D. 700-950) Maya polity, to shed light on political organization. When the capital's civic-ceremonial layout is compared with settlement patterns in its hinterland, the polity's hierarchical and territorial political arrangements appear to be reproduced in microcosm within the capital"s civic-ceremonial zone. Possible political microcosms of this kind at other mesoamerican capital sites are discussed, along with correlates of this variant of political organization.

PONTIFÍCIA UNIVERSIDADE CATÓLICA DO RIO DE JANEIRO
A tese recupera a importância da técnica da caricatura no âmbito da discussão literária e plástica modernas em dois momentos específicos: na primeira metade do século XVIII, com o debate estabelecido por William Hogarth e Henry Fielding, num contexto em que se fixam as bases do romance; e em meados do século XIX, quando o tema é retomado por Charles Baudelaire, especialmente no ensaio Da essência do riso e das artes geralmente cômicas, de 1855. Embora tenha recebido da dupla Hogarth-Fielding uma definição pejorativa, a caricatura significou um caminho para a experiência moderna, seja pela assimilação de motivos altos e baixos na arte, pela tematização da vivência urbana ou pela valorização da psicologia dos personagens (dentro da tradição do empirismo de Locke), traduzida na exploração da fisionomia humana. Com Baudelaire, estabelece-se não só uma estética da caricatura, mas uma estética caricatural construída a partir das categorias cômico absoluto e o cômico significativo. Esse modo caricatural, acreditamos, já irrompia nas cenas morais de Hogarth. Adotamos a definição da caricatura como uma novidade no campo da arte pictórica, de acordo com Ernst Gombrich. À técnica italiana, segundo ele, estava franqueada a possibilidade de experimentação que levaria à descoberta não trivial de como criar a ilusão de vida sem qualquer ilusão de realidade. As reflexões de Hogarth e de Baudelaire dimensionam historicamente a importância do humor gráfico não só como um desafio à representação artística, mas também como elemento central de uma certa experiência da modernidade.
In this work, the relevance of caricature, both in modern literary and plastic discourses, is considered in two moments: during the first half of the XVIII century, in the interaction between William Hogarth and Henry Fielding, concurrent to the beginnings of the English novel, and in mid XIX century, when Charles Baudelaire, especially in his essay De l essence du rire et généralement du comique dans les arts plastiques, reapproaches the subject. Caricature received from Hogarth and Fielding a negative definition, but still showed a path to the modern experience, by assimilating low and high themes in art, by taking subjects from urban life and by emphasizing the psychology of characters (in the spirit of Locke s empiricism), through an exploration of the human face. Baudelaire s ideas give rise to an esthetics of caricature, built up from his concepts of significative and absolute comic. This caricatural mode, we believe, was already present in Hogarth s modern moral scenes. We take Ernst Gombrich s definition of caricature as an innovation in pictorial art. According to him, the Italian technique was allowed a freedom of experimentation which led to the nontrivial discovery of how to create the illusion of life without the illusion of reality. The arguments in Hogarth and Baudelaire describe the historical relevance of graphic humor, both as a challenge to artistic representation and as a central element of a certain kind of experience of modernity.

Abstract:
Death row is a space across the United States that continues to expand, not only in numbers, but in the length of time inmates spend confined there. Fewer and fewer inmates are executed and death row is now increasingly the only punishment of capital convicts. This thesis examines the retributive and punitive treatment of death-sentenced offenders within that space and, by viewing that form of imprisonment as part of a communication process, it assesses the contribution it makes to the death penalty more generally in the USA to argue that death row imprisonment is crucial in sustaining the distinction of capital offenders, and the death penalty itself.Just as death row receives images from wider culture, it simultaneously generates images that complement and validate those it receives, of death sentenced offenders as dangerous monsters. These images, of offenders who require punitive detention, align with the dominant supportive rationale of capital punishment, retribution, and provide a basis for continued death penalty support in an era of declining executions.In the “hidden world” of death row, prisoners are left to be abused, mistreated, and denied privileges and opportunities available to other prisoners. The capital offender is presented by his death row incarceration as different from all other offenders serving other sentences, even life without parole. Death row incarceration communicates the worth and status of the condemned, presenting him as a dangerous, and dehumanised other, who needs to be securely detained, and restricted. Thus death row validates and justifies the cultural needs of capital punishment. Just as wider culture, including, specifically, the legal community, dictates a requirement for punitive detention, death row corroborates that image with its own in a self-affirming loop. Death row is therefore functional beyond the mere holding of offenders, it affirms cultural descriptions of the condemned and thus justifies, and provides support for, the very continuation of capital punishment itself.

Abstract:
This feasibility study was performed at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Blacksburg, VA) in collaboration with BioSystems Technology, Inc. (Blacksburg, VA). In this study, degradability of PCBs (Aroclor 1242) from an aged surface soil was evaluated using serum bottle microcosms containing aceticlastic methanogenic consortium, enriched from a municipal anaerobic digester. Two different experiments, "intermediate feed" and "starve and feed" were conducted by manipulating the methanogenic consortium with different amounts of acetate feeding, during 30 days of incubation. Disappearance of Aroclor 1242 in the microcosms was quantified using gas chromatography (GC). Significant differences in Aroclor 1242 removal between inoculated and uninoculated (control) microcosms were observed suggesting that the methanogenic consortium was responsible for Aroclor 1242 disappearance. However, GC-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) results could not confirm that disappearance of Aroclor 1242 was due to anaerobic dehalogenation. From another experiment, it was confirmed that removal of Aroclor 1242 was not due to evaporation losses during sample extraction. Toxicity of an aged Aroclor 1242 contaminated surface soil was evaluated on an aceticlastic methanogenic consortium, enriched from a municipal anaerobic digester. Microcosms were set up using different amounts of soil and inoculum. Total gas production in the microcosms was monitored during 30 days of incubation, using a glass syringe. Total methane production in the microcosms was quantitated using GC. Toxicity of the soil on the methanogenic inoculum was determined based on the decreased rate of methane production in the microcosms relative to non- soil containing controls. Compared to the control, there was reduction in total methane production in soil containing microcosms. Between 3-27% reduction in total methane production was noticed in microcosms containing different amounts of soil and consortium. Reduction in methane production seemed to increase with increasing amount of soil. Whether this decrease in methane production was due to toxicity of Aroclor 1242 on the methanogenic consortium or due possibly to the toxicity of trapped oxygen in the soil could not be determined. The rate of gas production in the soil microcosm was linear.

Full text
Abstract:
Many marshes show signs of degradation due to fragmentation, lack of sediment inputs, and erosion which may be exacerbated by sea level rise and increasing storm frequency/intensity. As a result, resource managers seek to restore marshes via introduction of sediment to increase elevation and stabilize the marsh platform. Recent field observations suggest the rapid formation of iron sulfide (FeS) materials following restoration in several marshes. To investigate, a laboratory microcosm study evaluated the formation of FeS following simulated restoration activities under continually inundated, simulated drought, and simulated tidal conditions. Results indicate that FeS horizon development initiated within 16 days, expanding to encompass > 30% of the soil profile after 120 days under continuously inundated and simulated tidal conditions. Continuously inundated conditions supported higher FeS content compared to other treatments. Dissolved and total Fe and S measurements suggest the movement and diffusion of chemical constituents from native marsh soil upwards into the overlying sediments, driving FeS precipitation. The study highlights the need to consider biogeochemical factors resulting in FeS formation during salt marsh restoration activities. Additional field research is required to link laboratory studies, which may represent a worst-case scenario, with in-situ conditions.

David, Aharon. Unsettled Topics Concerning Airport Cybersecurity Standards and Regulation. SAE International, September 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.4271/epr2021020.

Full text
Abstract:
A large international airport is a microcosm of the entire aviation sector, hosting hundreds of different types of aviation and non-aviation stakeholders: aircraft, passengers, airlines, travel agencies, air traffic management and control, retails shops, runway systems, building management, ground transportation, and much more. Their associated information technology and cyber physical systems—along with an exponentially resultant number of interconnections—present a massive cybersecurity challenge. Unlike the physical security challenge, which was treated in earnest throughout the last decades, cyber-attacks on airports keep coming, but most airport lack essential means to confront such cyber-attacks. These missing means are not technical tools, but rather holistic regulatory directives, technical and process standards, guides, and best practices for airports cybersecurity—even airport cybersecurity concepts and basic definitions are missing in certain cases. Unsettled Topics Concerning Airport Cybersecurity Standards and Regulation offers a deeper analysis of these issues and their causes, focusing on the unique characteristics of airports in general, specific cybersecurity challenges, missing definitions, and conceptual infrastructure for the standardization and regulation of airports cybersecurity. This last item includes the gaps and challenges in the existing guides, best-practices, standards, and regulation pertaining to airport cybersecurity. Finally, practical solution-seeking processes are proposed, as well as some specific potential frameworks and solutions.
