102. Using Oligonucleotide Probes to Characterize Nitrification in a Two-Stage Pilot Scale Biological Aerated Filter System

Author

Gilmore, Kevin Robert and Gilmore, Kevin Robert

Abstract

A pilot-scale, two-stage (carbon oxidation stage one, ammonia oxidation stage two) fixed film biological aerated filter (BAF) process was operated on-site at a domestic wastewater treatment plant. Over the study period, hydraulic loadings to the system were varied, generating a range of organic and ammonia loading conditions. Nitrification was monitored along the length of the filters by measuring chemical nitrogen species and activity levels of ammonia oxidizing bacteria (AOB). During the first phase of the study, nitrification performance was characterized during the wintertime and compared with oligonucleotide probing results using an ammonia-oxidizer specific probe. Overall nitrification efficiency for wintertime conditions (average temperature 12.4 ± 0.1°C) was greater than 90 percent when ammonia-N loadings to the second stage were 0.6 kg/m3-day or less. Nitrification efficiency started to deteriorate at loadings beyond this point. Biofilm and liquid samples were collected along the distance of the two columns at high and low ammonia loadings. The degree of activity observed by ammonia oxidizing bacteria in the biofilm corresponded with the disappearance of ammonia and the generation of nitrate as water passed through the columns. During the second phase of the study, the probing methods were investigated and results of two approaches of analysis were compared to chemical nitrogen profiles. It was found that probe signals normalized to mass of total bacterial nucleic acid corresponded better with chemical profiles than using a novel method of standardizing against known nucleic acid mass standards. During both phases of the study, zones of ammonia oxidizing activity progressed along the length of the columns as organic and ammonia loadings to the system increased. The oligonucleotide probe data suggest that this shift in the location of the nitrifier population is due to higher BOD loads to the second stage, which supported higher levels of heterotrophic growt

105. FOOTPRINTS IN THE MUD: A HOLOCENE DROUGHT RECORD FROM A POCKET FEN AND THE IMPLICATIONS FOR MIDDLE ARCHAIC CULTURAL ECOLOGY ON THE GREAT PLAINS.

Author

Gilmore, Kevin P.

Abstract

The distribution of highland-adapted McKean Complex (6000-2800 calibrated years [cal] B.P.) suggests a division into two groups; the Glaciated Northern Plains and Prairies and the Mountains and High Plains. The dates on sites containing stemmed indented base projectile points reported by Benedict (1990; Benedict and Olson 1978) suggest an expansion north, south, and east from a core area centered in the Southern Rocky Mountains of northern Colorado. This expansion took place during a period of increasing effective moisture following dry conditions in the early Holocene. Records of paleoclimate from a pocket fen in eastern Colorado and other sources indicate decreased effective moisture and highly variable climate ca. 4600-4000 cal B.P. coincides with a hiatus in the colonization of new sites on the McKean periphery. The evidence presented here suggests that cold was the major limiting factor for expansion for northern McKean groups, while drought was the limiting factor for southern groups.

106. Superantigens Subvert the Neutrophil Response To Promote Abscess Formation and Enhance Staphylococcus aureusSurvival In Vivo

Abstract

ABSTRACTStaphylococcus aureusis a versatile bacterial pathogen that produces T cell-activating toxins known as superantigens (SAgs). Although excessive immune activation by SAgs can induce a dysregulated cytokine storm as a component of what is known as toxic shock syndrome (TSS), the contribution of SAgs to the staphylococcal infection process is not well defined. Here, we evaluated the role of the bacterial superantigen staphylococcal enterotoxin A (SEA) in a bacteremia model using humanized transgenic mice expressing SAg-responsive HLA-DR4 molecules. Infection with S. aureusNewman induced SEA-dependent Vß skewing of T cells and enhanced bacterial survival in the liver compared with infection by seaknockout strain. SEA-induced gamma interferon, interleukin-12, and chemokine responses resulted in increased infiltration of CD11b+Ly6G+neutrophils into the liver, promoting the formation of abscesses that contained large numbers of viable staphylococci. Hepatic abscesses occurred significantly more frequently in S. aureusNewman-infected livers than in livers infected with the Newman seaknockout strain, promoting the survival of S. aureusin vivo. This represents a novel mechanism during infection whereby S. aureusutilizes SAgs to form a specialized niche and manipulate the immune system.

Abstract

Fault-tolerant operations based on stabilizer codes are the state of the art in suppressing error rates in quantum computations. Most such codes do not permit a straightforward implementation of non-Clifford logical operations, which are necessary to define a universal gate set. As a result, implementations of these operations must use either error-correcting codes with more complicated error correction procedures or gate teleportation and magic states, which are prepared at the logical level, increasing overhead to a degree that precludes near-term implementation. Here, we implement a small quantum algorithm, one-qubit addition, fault-tolerantly on a trapped-ion quantum computer, using the [[ 8, 3, 2]] color code. By removing unnecessary error correction circuits and using low-overhead techniques for fault-tolerant preparation and measurement, we reduce the number of error-prone two-qubit gates and measurements to 36. We observe arithmetic errors with a rate of ~1.1 x 10-3 for the fault-tolerant circuit and ~9.5 x 10-3 for the unencoded circuit. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
