Retention And Separation Behaviour Of Chloropyrifos And Other Water Pollutants Using Polyurethane Foams, Rashed Saleh Al-Mehrazi Jan 1996

Retention And Separation Behaviour Of Chloropyrifos And Other Water Pollutants Using Polyurethane Foams, Rashed Saleh Al-Mehrazi

Theses

Heavy metals and pesticides represent a class of man-made environmental pollutants which also occur naturally in the environment. The presence of these pollutants in the industrial and agricultural wastewaters often represents a risk to the environment. Investigation of these species in the water is an important aspect of environmental pollution as human activities contributed to the progressive increase in the concentration of these compounds in the environmental as well as aquatic systems. Therefore, identification and removal (or reduction) of these species to an acceptable concentration are of prime importance.

The analytical utility of unloaded open-cell polyurethane foams and foams immobilizing …

Comparative Study Of Some Physiological And Behavioral Responses To Feed And Water Deprivation In Camels, Sheep And Goats, Huda Mohammed Shaheen

Theses

The aim of the study was to compare some physiological and biochemical responses in camels, sheep and goats when subjected to various periods of food and water deprivation. Another purpose of the study was to examine the feeding and drinking behaviour of dehydrated and starved animals when provided with food and water simultaneously. The study was performed at the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences Farm, University of United Arab Emirates, Al-Ain.
