Utility asset management has evolved in the US water industry, as the facilities use asset deterioration models to develop rehabilitation and replacement programs. The companies have to consider effects of climate change and calculate carbon costs associated with implementing their capital programs and ongoing asset operations. Climate change adapt...

US water and wastewater utilities can leverage the experience of other countries to select and adopt effective asset management approaches and techniques.

Sewer and storm water systems in cities worldwide suffer from ageing and inappropriate wastewater networks. This challenge has to be met by systematic upgrading and preventive maintenance. It is necessary to analyse the current performance of the wastewater networks, to determine the system bottlenecks that cause system vulnerability on floods in c...

Wastewater pipeline leakage is an emerging concern in Europe, especially with regards to the potential effect of leaking effluent on groundwater contamination and the effects infiltration has on the management of sewer reticulation systems. This paper describes efforts by Australia, in association with several European partners, towards the develop...

Twelve male, fasted, anesthetized rhesus monkeys were studied with positron emission tomography (PET) and [11C]alpha-methyl-L-tryptophan (alpha MTP) to determine serotonin synthesis rates as described by Diksic et al. (1991). It was expected that the serotonin synthesis rates determined for the whole brain would be correlated with CSF 5-hydroxyindo...

Rat liver and kidney were investigated for the presence of sigma (sigma) receptor subtypes by radioligand binding with three highly selective sigma probes and by photoaffinity labeling using [3H]azido-di-o-tolylguanidine ([3H]azido-DTG). [3H](+)-Pentazocine, a highly selective sigma 1 probe, bound to sites in liver membranes with Kd = 7.5 nM and Bm...

2-, 3-, and 4-idophenyl derivatives of the high-affinity sigma ligand N-[2-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)ethyl]-N-methyl-2-(1-pyrrolidinyl)ethylamine (1) were synthesized in two to four steps starting from N-methyl-2-(1-pyrrolidinyl)ethylamine. These compounds were evaluated for their capacity to label both sigma 1 and sigma 2 subtypes in vitro. sigma-1 bind...
