A single-stage deammonification with a sequencing batch reactor (SBR) that simultaneous nitritation, anaerobic ammonia oxidation (anammox), and denitrification (SNAD) occur in one reactor has been widely applied for sidestream of wastewater treatment plant. For the stable and well-balanced SNAD, a feeding strategy of influent wastewater is one of the most important operating factors in the single-stage deammonification SBR. In this study, single-stage deammonification SBR (working volume 30L) was operated to treat a high-strength ammonium wastewater (1200 mg NH₄⁺-N/L) with different feeding strategies (single feeding and nine-step feeding) under the condition without COD. Each cycle of the step feeding involved 6 sub-cycles consisted of aerobic and anoxic periods for partial nitritation (PN) and anammox, respectively. Contrary to unstable performance in the single feeding, the step feeding showed better deammonification performance (0.565 kg-N/m³/day). Under the condition with COD, however, the nitrogen removal rate (NRR) decreased to 0.403 kg-N/m³/day when the Nine-step feeding strategies had an additional denitrification period before sub-cycles for PN and anammox. The NRR was recovered to 0.518 kg-N/m³/day by introducing an enhanced multiple-step feeding strategy. The strategy had 50 cycles consisted of feed, denitrification, PN, and anammox, instead of repeated sub-cycles for PN and anammox. The multiple-step feeding strategy without sub-cycle showed the most stable and excellent deammonification performance: high nitrogen removal efficiency (98.6%), COD removal rate (0.131 kg-COD/m³/day), and COD removal efficiency (78.8%). This seemed to be caused by that the elimination of the sub-cycles might reduce COD oxidation during aerobic condition but increase the COD utilization for denitrification period. In addition, among various sensor values, the ORP pattern appeared to be applicable to monitor and control each reaction step for deammonification in the multiple-step feeding strategy without sub-cycle. Further study to optimize the number of multiple-step feeding is still needed but these results show that the multiple-step feeding strategy can contribute to a well-balanced SNAD for deammonification when treating high-strength ammonium wastewater with COD in the single-stage deammonification SBR.

Emulsion Liquid Membrane (ELM) is a prominent technique for the separation of heavy metal ions from wastewater due to the fast extraction and is a single-stage operation of stripping-extraction. The selection of the components (Surfactant and Carrier) of ELM is a very significant step for its preparation. In the ELM technique, the primary water- in-oil (W/O) emulsion is emulsified in water to produce water-in-oil-in-water (W/O/W) emulsion. The water in oil emulsion was prepared by mixing the membrane phase and internal phase. To prepare the membrane phase, the extractant D2EHPA (di-2-ethylhexylphosphoric acid) was used as a mobile carrier, Span-80 as a surfactant, and Paraffin as a diluent. Moreover, the internal (receiving) phase was prepared by dissolving sulphuric acid in water. Di-(2- ethylhexyl) phosphoric acid such as surfactant concentration, carrier concentration, sulphuric acid concentration in the receiving (internal) phase, agitation time (emulsion phase and feed phase), the volume ratio of the membrane phase to the receiving phase, the volume ratio of the external feed phase to the primary water-in-oil emulsion and pH of feed were studied on the percentage extraction of metal ions at 20℃. The results show that it is possible to remove 78% for As(V), 98% for Cd(II), and 99% for Pb(II).

Given the limited water resources and the presence of multiple decision makers with different and usually conflicting objectives in the exploitation of water resources systems, especially dam's reservoirs; therefore, the decision to determine the optimal allocation of reservoir water among decision-makers and stakeholders is a difficult task. In this study, by combining a fuzzy VIKOR technique or fuzzy multi-criteria decision making (FMCDM) and the Young's bilateral bargaining model, a new method was developed to determine the optimal quantitative and qualitative water allocation of dam's reservoir water with the aim of increasing the utility of decision makers and stakeholders and reducing the conflicts among them. In this study, by identifying the stakeholders involved in the exploitation of the dam reservoir and determining their utility, the optimal points on trade-off curve with quantitative and qualitative objectives presented by Mojarabi et al. (2019) were ranked based on the quantitative and qualitative criteria, and economic, social and environmental factors using the fuzzy VIKOR technique. In the proposed method, the weights of the criteria were determined by each decision maker using the entropy method. The results of a fuzzy decision-making method demonstrated that the Young's bilateral bargaining model was developed to determine the point agreed between the decisions makers on the trade-off curve. In the proposed method, (a) the opinions of decision makers and stakeholders were considered according to different criteria in the exploitation of the dam reservoir, (b) because the decision makers considered the different factors in addition to quantitative and qualitative criteria, they were willing to participate in bargaining and reconsider their ideals, (c) due to the use of a fuzzy-logic based decision-making approach and considering different criteria, the utility of all decision makers was close to each other and the scope of bargaining became smaller, leading to an increase in the possibility of reaching an agreement in a shorter time period using game theory and (d) all qualitative judgments without considering explicitness of the decision makers were applied to the model using the fuzzy logic. The results of using the proposed method for the optimal exploitation of Iran's 15-Khordad dam reservoir over a 30-year period (1968-1997) showed the possibility of the agreement on the water allocation of the monthly total dissolved solids (TDS)=1,490 mg/L considering the different factors based on the opinions of decision makers and reducing conflicts among them.

Medetomidine (30 ug/kg IM) - tiletamine/zolazepam (10 mg/kg IV) 합제를 사용하여 마취한 잡종견(4.00$\pm$0.53kg) 12두에서 atipamezole의 심폐계 영향과 길항효과에 대하여 평가하였다. 4개의 실험군에 각각3두씩 임의로 배당하였다 (대조군: atipamezole 처치를 하지 않은 군, A30군: atipamezole 30 um/kg, A60: atipamezole 60 ug/kg, Al50: atipamezole 150 ug/kg). 모든 실험견은 medetomidine 투여 10분 전 atropine (0.03 mg/kg, IM)으로 전처치하였으며, medetomidine 투여 10분 후 tiletamine/zolazepam (TZ)를 투여하였다. TZ투여 15분 후 atipamezole을 정맥으로 투여하였다. 실험견이 머리를 들 때까지의 평균시간은 대조군 43.06$\pm$2.60분, A30군 43.06$\pm$2.60분, A60군 32.83$\pm$8.13분 Al50군 14.36$\pm$1.60분으로 대조군과 비교할 때 A150군에서 유의성 있게 감소하였으나 (P<0.05) 완전한 보행을 보일 때까지의 평균시간에는 유의성이 나타나지 않았다. 회복기에 보이는 두부의 진전, 과도한 유연, 근육 경련과 같은 부작용은 atipamezole치 용량이 증가할수록 심하게 나타났다. 12두의 실험견중 5두가 medetomidine투여 후 5분 이내에 구토를 하였다. 대조군에서 심박수는 TZ 투여 후 15분을 제외하고, 모든 측정시간대에서 유의성 있는 감소를 나타내었으며, 전 실험군에서 medetomidine 투여 10분 후. A30군에서 atipamezole투여 후 40분에 심박수의 유의성 있는 감소가 나타났다 (P<0.05). Al50군에서는 atipamezole투여 10분 후 심계 항진 및 호흡 항진이 나타났다. 대다수 실험견에서 동맥혈압은 medetomidine과 tiletamine/zolazepam 투여 후 유의성 있게 감소하였으나 (P< 0.05) A60군과 Al50군에서는 atipamezole투여 후 점차적으로 회복되었다. 혈액가스검사와 총 혈구계산치는 유의성 있는 변화가 관찰되지 않았다 본 실험의 결과로 atipamezole 150 mg/kg은 MTZ 병용 마취견 각성에 뛰어난 효과를 나타낸다고 사료된다.
