Natural treatment

The introduction of Lagrangian coordinates in the previous section allows a more natural treatment of a continuous flow in one dimension.

Metals, nonmetals, and acids/bases released by human activities severely deteriorate water quality, since they are toxic even at concentrations of parts per million.

Inevitably, heavy metals remain intact in the environment and finally, they are accumulated in the food chain (bioaccumulation). 

Why should anyone consider eating exceptional amounts of licorice, anyway Consulting the herbal or alternative literature, one finds plenty of reasons. Alternative publications often tout licorice as a natural treatment for conditions ranging from colds and prostate problems to indigestion and cancer.

This chapter discusses statistics at the level needed for radiation measurements and analysis of their results. People who perform experiments need statistics for analysis of experiments that are statistical in nature, treatment of errors, and fitting a function to the experimental data. The first two uses are presented in this chapter. Data fitting is discussed in Chap. 11.

Summarized data of both plant and invertebrate material revealed that significantly higher was the mass of new organic material in PP comparing to natural treatments after 6 months of the experiment (Table 4). Later the differences between treatments were not significant. The values of total organic matter input were 45.4 and 40.8 g dry wt. m-2 for natural and PP treatments respectively at the end of the experiment.
