Fate of nonylphenol compounds in aerobic batch reactors Ömeroğlu, Seçil; Sanin, Faika Dilek; Department of Environmental Engineering (2012) Today, numerous studies indicate the presence of synthetic organics such as nonylphenol (NP) compounds in wastewater. NP compounds are a group of chemicals including nonylphenol, nonylphenol polyethoxylates (NPnEO) and nonylphenoxy polyethoxy acetic acids (NPnEC). Since NP compounds have significant industrial, commercial and domestic use, they enter environmental systems and reach human beings from various pathways. Their presence is of concern because they are toxic, carcinogenic and endocrine disrupting ...
Fate of triclosan in laboratory-scale activated sludge reactors - Effect of culture acclimation ORHON, Aybala Koc; ORHON, Kemal Berk; Yetiş, Ülkü; Dilek, Filiz Bengü (Elsevier BV, 2018-06-15) Triclosan (TCS); a widely used antimicrobial biocide, exists in several pharmaceutical and personal care products. Due to its wide usage, TCS is detected in wastewater at varying concentrations. Biological treatability of TCS and its effect on chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal efficiency were investigated running laboratory-scale pulse-fed sequencing batch reactors with acclimated and non-acclimated cultures. The culture was acclimatized to TCS by gradually increasing its concentration in the synthetic f...
Fate and Effects of Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) Microplastics During Anaerobic Digestion of Disintegrated Sludge Hatinoğlu, Makbule Dilara; Sanin, Faika Dilek; Department of Environmental Engineering (2021-12-24) Modern wastewater treatment plants effectively remove microplastics (MPs) from wastewater but unfortunately concentrate them in sludge. Anaerobic digesters were recently reported to be affected by MPs. Despite their resilience to natural degradation, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastics have inherent weaknesses to alkali and thermal conditions and become more susceptible to biodegradation if exposed to them. Sludge disintegration practices aiming to increase the biogas production by disrupting sludge’s...
Fate and effects of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) microplastics during anaerobic digestion of alkaline-thermal pretreated sludge Hatinoglu, M. Dilara; Sanin, Faika Dilek (2022-11-01) Plastics are resilient, hard to degrade materials that can persist in nature for centuries. Microplastics (MPs) exhibit similar tough character and hold the potential to harm marine and terrestrial ecosystems upon their release into the environment. Most modern wastewater treatment plants remove MPs from wastewater with over 90% efficiency but unfortunately concentrate them in sludge. Recent studies have reported MPs' impact on the performance of sludge treatment systems, including anaerobic digesters. Desp...
Evolution of Neuronal and Endothelial Transcriptomes in Primates Giger, Thomas; Khaitovich, Philipp; Somel, Mehmet; Lorenc, Anna; Lizano, Esther; Harris, Laura W.; Ryan, Margaret M.; Lan, Martin; Wayland, Matthew T.; Bahn, Sabine; Paeaebo, Svante (Oxford University Press (OUP), 2010-01-01) The study of gene expression evolution in vertebrates has hitherto focused on the analysis of transcriptomes in tissues of different species. However, because a tissue is made up of different cell types, and cell types differ with respect to their transcriptomes, the analysis of tissues offers a composite picture of transcriptome evolution. The isolation of individual cells from tissue sections opens up the opportunity to study gene expression evolution at the cell type level. We have stained neurons and en...
