This book presents comprehensive research and analyses on road traffic safety in China, discussing individual, vehicle, road and environmental factors to improve road safety in the country. It also sheds light on the development of similar (adjusted) measures to reduce traffic violations and/or accident fatalities and injuries, and to promote road safety in other countries and regions. As such,…
Microalgae can be used as biomass feedstock and become bioremediation for ammonia in waters. Tetraselmis chuii is a type of microalgae that utilizes nitrogen, namely nitrate and ammonium in the growth process. This study aims to analyze the growth rate of cells, the optimum ammonia concentration for growth rate, and the growth rate of T. chuii biomass production at different ammonia concentrati…
