A two-biofilter system operated under alternating anaerobic/aerobic conditions was tested to remove nutrient as well as organics from wastewater generated from car-washing facility. The wastewater was characterized by relatively low organic and high phosphorus content. The factors affecting phosphorus removal in the two-biofilter system were investigated. Operational parameters examined in this study were hydraulic retention time, organic, suspended solid and nitrogen loading rate. The factors affecting phosphorus removal in biological filter appeared to be influent COD, COD/T–P, BOD/COD, nitrogen, and SS/T–P. Nitrite and nitrate produced in the biofilter in aerobic condition affected phosphorus removal by the two-biofilter system. The biomass wasted during backwash procedure also affected total phosphorus removal by the system.

The main objective of this study was to determine the effect of processing on phytic phosphorus content in maize. An analytical comparison of effect of different methods of processing for reducing phytic phosphorus was carried out on maize. The maize is a staple crop and many rely on it as a primary source of nutrition. Though phytic phosphorus content makes minerals unavailable for absorption yet is used by majority of population. Six cultivars of maize namely VL-16, VL-41, VL-42, D741, D823 and D771 were processed to observe the reduction in phytic phosphorus content. Phytic phosphorus content of the different maize varieties ranged from 143.5 to 167.9 mg/100 g. Variety VL 41 showed highest phytic phosphorus content of 167.9 mg/100 g. Lime treatment was observed to cause significant reduction in phytic acid. Boiling and lime treatment reduced phytic phosphorus by 24.84 and 33.60 % respectively. Variety D771 of maize showed highest reduction of 108.9 mg/100 g after heat treatment and 89.8 mg/100 g after lime treatment. The total reduction in phytic phosphorus was 33.60%.

An ecogeographic survey was conducted in six key agricultural zones in Morocco to study the abundance and the relationship between the natural distribution of annual Trifolium species and environmental factors. Sixteen species of annual Trifolium species were identified. Most prolific was T. scabrum and the least were T. striatum and T. bocconei. Fifty-five percent of the sites had no Trifolium and the average number of species per site was 2.2. An average seed yield of 4.8 kg ha-1 was obtained. Both soil and climatic factors affected the occurrence of Trifolium species. Rainfall, pH and phosphorus content were the most determinant factors affecting the distribution of Trifolium species in Morocco.

Water samples were taken from Pickwick Reservoir from 1965 through 1968 and the nitrogen and phosphorus content determined. The nitrogen and phosphorus content over a period of 3 years was not related to the year-to-year plant growth. Physical and climatic data were obtained from 1961 through 1968, and it was found that available light was controlled by the amount of rainfall and ensuing reservoir elevation during the critical plant growth period in April and May. Available light was correlated with the 2 years of severe infestations.

In our initial publication on this subject1) we reported results demonstrating that contrast is the most important factor in producing the high image quality required for reliable image analysis. We also listed the factors which enhance contrast in order of the experimentally determined magnitude of their effect. The two most powerful factors affecting image contrast attainable with sheet film are beam intensity and KV. At that time we had only qualitative evidence for the ranking of enhancing factors. Later we carried out the densitometric measurements which led to the results outlined below.Meaningful evaluations of the cause-effect relationships among the considerable number of variables in preparing EM negatives depend on doing things in a systematic way, varying only one parameter at a time. Unless otherwise noted, we adhered to the following procedure evolved during our comprehensive study:Philips EM-300; 30μ objective aperature; magnification 7000- 12000X, exposure time 1 second, anti-contamination device operating.
