Physic-Chemical Evaluation of Urban Wastewater in Morocco

Wastewater is a term applied to any type of water that negatively impacts the quality of the water. It includes all effluent from household, commercial establishments and institutions, hospitals, industries and so on. It also includes stormwater and urban runoff, agricultural, horticultural and aquaculture effluent. Due to its negative impact can finally influence human’s health and the balance of ecosystems, wastewater treatment and disposal is an important part of protecting and preserving water resources. 

Urban wastewater usually refers to domestic waste water (from residential settlements) or a mixture of domestic waste water with industrial waste water (from premises used for trade or industry) and/or run-off rain water. It’s one of the main city pollution, which also needs to be treated properly and timely.

In this paper, to give an answer to the choice of methods of treatment of raw sewage and to raise awareness of the pollution of the river R’dom which is a source of irrigation in town Sidi Kacem, the authors evaluated the pollution by the physic-chemical characterization of discharged urban wastewaters.

Two samples were collected in a periodic way, and most part of the qualitative and quantitative analyses was accomplished in situ and in the laboratory. The physical and chemical parameters of samples were measured via different equipment. Then the measurements average, as well as the minima and maxima of the various organic and mineral physic-chemical parameters were gathered and the ratios were calculated in order to know if the organic matter was easily biodegradable. And the authors analyzed and discussed all the physical and chemical parameters one by one.

The results obtained showed that the domestic effluents exceeded the national standards of rejection in Morocco, which required an intervention of the competent jurisdictions in order to preserve the public health and to protect the environment. And it’s also necessary to install an efficient sewage treatment plant to ensure a sustainable development.

Education Policy Implementation: A Mechanism for Enhancing Primary Education Development in Zanzibar

Education is one of the fundamental rights of individuals; therefore, the government of a country needs to develop and strengthen educational policy and quality as well as to ensure that everyone has equal access to basic education. The improvement of access and quality of education in the world is becoming as an essential factor in development, whereas the basic education (primary school), is acknowledged as a foundation of the higher educational development for every country. To fulfill this goal, governments introduce several policies and procedures; however, it requires some reforms and participation from the politician, policymakers, and other stakeholders to re-examine educational policy so that it can lead to multiplication and betterment of the reforms. Educational reforms actually focus on accountability. A positive educational development and reform is very challenging and needs more effort and strategy on how to use and utilize the resources effectively as such it can achie...

Does Immigration Promote the Investment of the Monopolistic Firm?

In the present paper, we examine the effect of increasing uncertainty of immigrants’ growth on the optimal timing of investment of a firm that has a monopolistic power over the labor market. It is revealed that when the uncertainty of immigrants’ growth is more than a threshold level, increasing uncertainty of immigrants’ growth accelerates the optimal timing of firms’ investment and enhances the economic growth, even if the uncertainty of immigrants’ growth is formulated by the geometric Brownian motion, which is in sharp contrast to the standard result that an increase in the uncertainty postpones the optimal timing. With an increase in the immigrants over the past ten years, workforces in the host countries have been growing significantly to the extent that the immigrants represent 70% of the increase in the workforce in Europe, and 47% in the United States as OECD indicates. In the present paper, we attempted to investigate the effect of increased uncertainty caused by the growi...

Electron Spin and Proton Spin in the Hydrogen and Hydrogen-Like Atomic Systems

Read full paper at: http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=52202#.VIj7tMnQrzE Author(s) Stanisław Olszewski * Affiliation(s) Institute of Physical Chemistry, Polish Academy of Sciences, Warsaw, Poland . ABSTRACT The mechanical angular momentum and magnetic moment of the electron and proton spin have been calculated semiclassically with the aid of the uncertainty principle for energy and time. The spin effects of both kinds of the elementary particles can be expressed in terms of similar formulae. The quantization of the spin motion has been done on the basis of the old quantum theory. It gives a quantum number n = 1/2 as the index of the spin state acceptable for both the electron and proton ...
