Introduction and Purpose

The flows of wastewater originating from the water supply of a community and runoff from precipitation on urban surfaces are typically collected and conveyed for treatment and disposal. The system used for this purpose is called a sewer network or a collection system that consists of individual pipes (sewer lines) and a number of installations, such as inlet structures and pumps, to facilitate collection and transport. The efficient, safe and cost-effective collection and transport of wastewater and urban runoff have been identified as key criteria to be observed. In this context, the word safe means that public health, welfare and environmental protection have high priority. The demand for solutions toward more sustainable water management in the cities is a new challenge. 

Because of the basic requirements of collection and transport, sewer networks are normally dealt with from a physical point of view, i.e., the hydraulics and sewer solids transport processes have been focal points. From this point of view, new design and operational principles have been developed, to a great extent supported by numerical procedures and the ever-increasing capacity of computers. Under wet-weather conditions, the hydraulics and solids transport phenomena in a sewer play a major role, and the chemical and microbiological processes are typically of minor importance. Not surprisingly, interests devoted to urban drainage have focused on the physical behavior of the sewer. 

However, under dry-weather conditions that may occur around 95% of the time in many countries, chemical and biological sewer processes may exert pronounced effects on sewer performance and on the interaction between the sewer and subsequent treatment processes. Possibly, because researchers and operators interests have been devoted to wet-weather conditions, the biological and chemical performances of a sewer, i.e., the sewer as a chemical and biological reactor, have not been of great concern. It is, however, apparent that the sewer cannot be neglected as a chemical and biological process system. These processes may have impacts on the sewer itself, the treatment plant, the environment and the humans in direct or indirect contact with the sewer. 

In conventional design and management practice, treatment of wastewater is assumed to take place entirely within the treatment plant, while a sewer network serves the sole purpose of collecting and transporting wastewater from source to treatment. The concept of considering the sewer as a process reactor 

As previously mentioned, the text will primarily focus on the microbiological processes in the sewer and, to some extent, also the chemical processes, especially the physicochemical processes. The corresponding environmental engineering relevance will be included as being the ultimate goal. Hydraulics and solid-transport phenomena, installation details, materials and the traditional

The overall challenge is to convey all information concisely. I have seen very effective posters that consisted of only four panels introduction and purpose, experimental method, results, and conclusion. The style of lettering, spacing, placement on the page, and so forth are a matter of individual discretion. An essential consideration, however, is legibility. The most important rule is to choose fonts and construct graphs and other art such that the entire poster can be read from a distance of at least 3 ft (1 m), preferably 4 ft. 

Introduction and Commercial Application Eventually every field development will reach the end of its economic lifetime. If options for extending the field life have been exhausted, then decommissioning will be necessary. Decommissioning is the process which the operator of an oil or natural gas installations will plan, gain approval and implement the removal, disposal or re-use of an installation when it is no longer needed for its current purpose.

Introduction and setting The purpose of this study was to identify and quantify the sources of heavy metals, especially lead, in soils and plants of the Lower Guadiana River basin and thereby model the potential mobility of lead. Other than direct pollution from mining, the main sources of heavy metal pollution in the environment are by diffuse pollution (Callender, 2004). In agricultural areas this can include lead from the use of pesticides, fertilizers and municipal sludge (Alloway, 1985). Metals can be attached or associated with different mineral phases in the soil, this along with environmental parameters determinesthe availability to plants. 

A combination of courtesy and strategy, the introduction sells the essay to the reader, compelling him or her to read the rest of it. For most assignments, it should also acquaint the audience with the subject and purpose of the essay. Specifically, essay writers have four tasks to accomplish within the first paragraph or two. An effective introduction should ... 

The purpose of this article is to review studies carried out on hemes incorporated inside the micellar cavity, and examine the effect of micellar interaction on the electronic and structural properties of the heme. A comparison of these results with those on the metalloproteins is clearly in order to assess their suitability as models. The article begins with a general introduction to micellar properties, the incorporation of hemes in the micellar cavity, and then discusses results on hemes inside the micelles with different oxidation and spin states, and stereochemistry. The experimental techniques used in the studies on these aqueous detergent micelles are mostly NMR and optical spectroscopy. The present article has therefore a strong emphasis on NMR spectroscopy, since this technique has been used very extensively and purposefully for studies on hemes inside micellar cavities. 

Introduction—introduces the topic and purpose of the report and may summarize the material in the report. You might find the following kinds of documents as parts of a report s introduction. 

For the purposes of managing a project you can use a manager as a sponsor to effect the necessary introductions and give you authority to request support and assistance. But if you want to gain this freedom of movement on a continuing basis, you will need to cultivate the contacts that arise from your project with a longer term perspective in mind. 

Although new types of columns will undoubtedly continue to be introduced, at present much research is being performed for the purpose of improving the existing ones. For packed columns the primary goal is the reduction in the number of active sites, while for capillaries it is the reproducible and uniform coating of capillaries with inner diameters closer to the theoretical optimum for mass transfer, the latter will unfortunately require further improvements in sample introduction and detection before the predicted improvements in resolution can be fully realized. 

As might be inferred from the word Introduction, the purpose of this book is to teach the basics of the core concepts and methods of computational chemistry. This is a textbook, and no attempt has been made to please every reviewer by dealing with esoteric advanced topics. Some fundamental concepts are the idea of a... 

The emphasis in this chapter is on the fruitful methodology of PIV techniques that emerge in the recent publications instead of the detailed discussions on any individual research topic of the measurement target of PIV. The purpose is to provide an overall instructive introduction and guidance to the PIV techniques and its applications particularly in the research field of multiphase flows. To this end, fruitful examples of PIV measurements of free-surface liquid flows, bubbly flows, particle-laden multiphase flows, etc., are elucidated. 

The immediately dangerous to life or health (IDLH) air concentration values have been recommended by the US National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) as respirator selection criteria. The current NIOSH definition for an IDLH condition is a situation that poses a threat of exposure to airborne contaminants when that exposure is likely to cause death or immediate or delayed permanent adverse health effects or prevent escape from such an environment. NIOSH s stated purpose for establishing IDLH values is to ensure that the worker can escape from a given contaminated environment in the event of failure of the respiratory protection equipment. The complete introduction and documentations to the 398 existing IDLH values can be read or downloaded at the NIOSH Internet website. 

As described In the Introduction and In references 3-5, poly-DCH has been found to react with bromine at 268 K. The purpose of these experiments was to see If there were any free radical Intermediates found during the reaction. Howeyer, none were found. Instead, the radicals observed In pristine poly-DCH disappear and two new radical species at lower concentrations reappear. 

The patent corpora worldwide can also be a valuable resource. Some scientific information that is not published elsewhere can be found in the introduction and background presentations of patent applications. It can be difficult to mine patent applications effectively due to the obfuscated manner in which many are written. So far, patents have been found to be most useful for competitive intelligence purposes. Care should be taken to achieve full value from patent collections. It might be more efficacious to divide the Abstracts/Claims section from the remainder of the full text. Micropatents [11], Delphion [12], or other commercial entities are able to provide a single-source access to the major patent collections of the world. 

Introduction. The importance and relevance of the project and the objectives of the work are presented here. The level of detail depends on the type of report or the intended audience. A proposal or memorandum will require a different opening than a formal report, laboratory report, or technical manual. In any case, you should state your subject and purpose for writing and include some idea of the scope of the work. Again, the level of detail and size of the report/project will determine how much detail is needed in the introduction. For a technical manual, most of the detail should be left to the body of the report, with the introduction doing just that introducing. 

The independence from the Ziegler-plant was an important step in order to overcome the limitations perceived by the catalyst industry extending their business based on alkoxide derived aluminas. However, almost of greater importance was the fact that on-purpose alumina proved to be equivalent in quality to alumina from the Ziegler-process. Aside from the capacity and quality issue the introduction on-purpose technology also offered greater flexibility in providing different qualities of alumina or related products such as silica-aluminas. 

If an industry were put in place in some unspecified way, the Introduction and early Diffusion phases would be skipped. As the Appendix points out, the primary purpose of those phases is to narrow the range of cost uncertainty rather than to reduce the probable cost, although technical changes which result in reduced (or increased) cost certainly occur in those phases. Thus, the later Diffusion and Maturity phases would be entered, although with less certainty that the best technologies were being used.
