Nitrogen removal from wastewater by algae provides the potential benefit of producing lipids for biodiesel and biomass for anaerobic digestion. Further, ammonium is the renewable form of nitrogen produced during anaerobic digestion and one of the main nitrogen sources associated with wastewater. The wastewater isolates Scenedesmus sp. 131 and Monor...

This paper investigates the relationship between attendance and overall academic performance of students at a newly established research focused university located in Central Asia. The first intake of the School of Engineering at Nazarbayev University consisted of 138 students: 88 male and 50 female. Student attendance was noted at every session du...

Montana State University has revised our freshman seminar course by modeling it after Rowan University's exemplary Freshman Engineering Clinic which utilizes a hands-on laboratory approach to introduce freshman students to engineering. In the first half of the course, innovative laboratory modules developed by faculty at MSU and Rowan were adapted...

Power generated by microbial fuel cells is computed as a product of current passing through an external resistor and voltage drop across this resistor. If the applied resistance is very low, then high instantaneous power generated by the cell is measured, which is not sustainable; the cell cannot deliver that much power for long periods of time. Si...
