Foraging Behavior Of American White Pelicans Pelecanus Erythrorhyncos, John Guy Thomas Anderson

Open Access Dissertations

Foraging behavior by American White Pelicans (Pelecanus erythrorhyncos was studied in the Lahontan Basin in western Nevada. Pelicans engaged in cooperative fish herding and in kleptoparasitism upon Double Crested cormorants (Phalacrocorax auritus). Pelicans in groups of size 2 through 6 caught more fish than single birds. Mean strike number increased initially with increasing flock size but leveled off at a flock size of between 3 and 4. strike efficiency (captures/bird/strike) declined with flock size, reaching an asymptote at a flock size of 4. Analysis of the regurgitate of young birds revealed that the pelicans' primary food source …

The Relationship Between Children’S Observation Of Marital Discord And Play Behavior In A Non-Clinical Sample, Dorothy Bohn Clement

Open Access Dissertations

The present investigation examined the relationship between children's exposure to low to moderate rates of marital discord in the familial environment and their behavior in settings external to the home as assessed by adult raters and direct observations. Sixty children (36 males, 24 females) between the ages of 6 and 13 years were estudied over the course of 3 months. Results of a multi-step analysis indicated that there was a highly significant relationship among females of low SES status between exposure to marital discord at home and being the object of peer aggression during free play activity. A significant relationship …

Treatment Of Refinery Wastewaters Using Various Modified Activated Sludge Process, Saleh Mohammed Al-Muzaini

Open Access Dissertations

Biological prosesses for treating refinery industry wastewater for re-use were studied. A pilot-scale biological reactor was constructed to simulate the activated sludge treatment process.

Actual refinery industry wastewater collected from a regional refinery and spiked with additions of selected priority organics was fed at a rate of 1.3 liters/hour into a 6-liter pilot plant having a hydraulic retention time of 4 hours. Activated sludge (AS) which was augmented by additions of powdered activated carbon (PAC) at dosages of 10, 50 and 120 mg/L was evaluated. The AS process removed 70-80% of the B005, COO and TDC. With the addition of …

Optimization Of Solid/Liquid Separation Processes Using Particle Size Distribution Analysis, Abdulrhaman Ibrahim Alabdulaly

Open Access Dissertations

A study was conducted to investigate the influence of the coagulant dosage, suspension pH, mixing intensity and time on the suspended solids particle size distribution during coagulation, flocculation and filtration of dilute suspensions. The coagulation/flocculation investigation consisted of laboratory experiments utilizing the jar test apparatus as well as a pilot plant mixing tank. Filtration experiments were conducted using 3-six inch inside diameter glass columns with different media sizes. The data generated were used to compute the distribution slope of the particles in each sample. The distribution slope was used as the pretreatment performance indicator.

The distribution slope is influenced by …
