The bioprocesses of steel industry wastes self-purification in buffer ponds have been studied. The representatives of 6-7 divisions of microalgae and many functional groups of bacteria have been found in the ponds. The important role of a new functional group, the “lytic” microorganisms, in the regulation of microecosystems and in bacterial self-purification has been established. It was found that the activity of self-purification bioprocesses in the buffer ponds studied depends on a variety of ecological factors. The main limiting factor has been shown to be the high turbidity of water, and its deficit of dissolved phosphates and oxygen. To accelerate the self-purification of steel industry wastes in buffer ponds the concentration of organic and mineral forms of the main biogenic elements (C,N,P) should be regulated. Water clarification and aeration were recommended and effectively used.

Phosphorous-containing molecules are essential constituents of all living cells. While the phosphate functional group is very common in small molecule natural products, nucleic acids, and as chemical modification in protein and peptides, phosphorous can form P–N (phosphoramidate), P–S (phosphorothioate), and P–C (e.g., phosphonate and phosphinate) linkages. While rare, these moieties play critical roles in many processes and in all forms of life. In this review we thoroughly categorize P–N, P–S, and P–C natural organophosphorus compounds. Information on biological source, biological activity, and biosynthesis is included, if known. This review also summarizes the role of phosphorylation on unusual amino acids in proteins (N- and S-phosphorylation) and reviews the natural phosphorothioate (P–S) and phosphoramidate (P–N) modifications of DNA and nucleotides with an emphasis on their role in the metabolism of the cell. We challenge the commonly held notion that nonphosphate organophosphorus functional groups are an oddity of biochemistry, with no central role in the metabolism of the cell. We postulate that the extent of utilization of some phosphorus groups by life, especially those containing P–N bonds, is likely severely underestimated and has been largely overlooked, mainly due to the technological limitations in their detection and analysis.

In this work, the interactions of the functional groups of fulvic acids with copper, cadmium and zinc bivalent ions was investigated by potentiometry. The BEST7 software was employed to investigate the interactions of the functional groups. The software SPE and SPEPLOT were used to generate and to plot the species diagrams. It was used the Suwannee River fulvic acid (SRFA) of the IHSS (International Humic Substances Society) to illustrate the process. The values of the proton dissociation and complexation constants with the divalent ions for each functional group were calculated and their values were very close tothose previously published. The functional group present in the highest quantity in the complexes was cathecol, and it complexed with all the divalent ions, although to a greater extent with Cu(II). According to the results obtained by potentiometry, the reactivity series for the divalent ions and the SRFA is: Cu(II) >> Cd(II) > Zn(II). Thus, the method employed could be useful to estimate the role of fulvic acids in the transport of metals in the aquatic environments.

This paper is a contribution to the growing literature on the role of projective identification in understanding couples' dynamics. Projective identification as a defence is well suited to couples, as intimate partners provide an ideal location to deposit unwanted parts of the self. This paper illustrates how projective identification functions differently depending on the psychological health of the couple. It elucidates how healthier couples use projective identification more as a form of communication, whereas disturbed couples are inclined to employ it to invade and control the other, as captured by Meltzer's concept of "intrusive identification". These different uses of projective identification affect couples' capacities to provide what Bion called "containment". In disturbed couples, partners serve as what Meltzer termed "claustrums" whereby projections are not contained, but imprisoned or entombed in the other. Applying the concept of claustrum helps illuminate common feelings these couples express, such as feeling suffocated, stifled, trapped, held hostage, or feeling as if the relationship is killing them. Finally, this paper presents treatment challenges in working with more disturbed couples.
