Abstract
Although freezing is the most common and widespread way to preserve food for a long time, the accumulation of microstructural damage caused by ice crystal formation during freezing and recrystallization phenomena during thawing tends to degrade the quality of the product. Thus, the side effects of the above processes should be avoided as much as possible. To evaluate the effect of different magnetic field strength assisted thawing (MAT) on beef quality, the indicators associated with quality of MAT-treated (10-50 Gs) samples and samples thawed without an external magnetic field were compared. Results indicated that the thawing time was reduced by 21.5-40% after applying MAT. Meat quality results demonstrated that at appropriate magnetic field strengths thawing loss, TBARS values, cooking loss, and shear force were significantly decreased. Moreover, by protecting the microstructure of the muscle, MAT significantly increased the a∗ value and protein content. MAT treatment significantly improved the thawing efficiency and quality of frozen beef, indicating its promising application in frozen meat thawing.

Abstract
In this work, a visible light-driven ternary heterojunction photocatalyst, CdS/Bi2WO6/ZnO, was synthesized using hydrothermal, ultrasonic dispersion, and deposition precipitation methods. The results show that photocatalysts with flower-like heterostructures were obtained, which could efficiently separate electron-hole pairs, and the photocatalytic activity was thereby significantly enhanced. Furthermore, CdS/Bi2WO6/ZnO and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) were used to fabricate hybrid membranes via a phase-conversion method. The samples were characterized using SEM, TEM, EDX, XRD, DRS, XPS, PL, and N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms, and the transient photocurrent response. The photocatalytic activity of the hybrid membrane was evaluated, and 92.58% of the nitrite was converted into non-toxic substances within 4Â h under simulated sunlight irradiation. This result indicated that the photocatalyst exhibited a good photocatalytic activity after immobilization. The possible mechanism was elucidated by studying the product during the photocatalytic degradation, and the effects of different pH values, electron scavengers, and hole scavengers on the photocatalytic performance were further investigated.

Abstract
Two anoxic/oxic (A/O) sequencing batch reactor (SBR) processes were utilized to study the effects of static magnetic field (SMF) on biological wastewater treatment process. Except for conventional indices, the reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH)/oxidized nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) ratio and electron transport system activity (ETSA), as well as poly-beta-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) and extracellular polymetric substance (EPS) contents in two reactors which were with and without SMF under two cyclic times (12Â h and 8Â h) were monitored. When the process was enhanced by SMF, the total nitrogen removal efficiency can be improved (>80%), and the NADN/NAD+ ratio, ESTA, the maximum EPS content and the maximum PHB content in the reactor with SMF were higher. Besides, SMF can reduce the microorganism community diversity and make species distribute more even and abundant. SMF can promote the performance of A/O SBR process via improving electron transport and microbial community.

Abstract
One of the main challenges of bioremediation is to define efficient protocols with low environmental impact and high removal rates, such as static magnetic field (SMF). The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of SMF exposure on the biodegradation rate of a mixture of pollutants using three bacterial strains which were isolated and identified from the Bizerte lagoon: Pseudomonas stutzeri LBR (KC157911), Cupriavidus metallidurans LBJ (KU659610) and Rhodococcus equi LBB (KU743870). To recognize the improvement role of SMF, the culture was submitted to a pre-treatment with SMF with an induction equal to 200 mT for 5 hours, after that the degradation experiment was followed with individual strains and with a consortium. Results showed an increase by 20% in the growth of the exposed bacterial population compared to controls, and 98% of biodegradation of DDT and 90% for BaP after 30 days of follow-up. This encouraging data opens new perspectives for a bioremediation bioprocess using SMF.

Abstract
Low intensity and very low-frequency electromagnetic fields (EMF) used for preventing scaling in water distribution systems were tested for the first time for their potential impact on drinking water biofilms. The assays were carried out in laboratory-scale flow-through reactors that mimic water distribution systems. The drinking water biofilms were not directly exposed to the core of the EMF generator and only subjected to waterborne electromagnetic waves. The density and chlorine susceptibility of nascent or mature biofilms grown under exposure to EMF were evaluated in soft and hard water. This EMF treatment was able to modify CaCO3 crystallization but it did not significantly affect biofilms. Indeed, over all the tested conditions, there was no significant change in cell number, or in the integrity of the cells (membrane, culturability), and no measurable effect of chlorine on the biofilm.

Abstract
Nitrogen pollutants in low-organic carbon wastewater are difficult to biodegrade. Therefore, the Fe(0)-carbon-based bio-carrier (FCBC) was firstly used as hydrogen producer in a biological-aerated filter (BAF) to make up for the lack of organic carbon in biological nitrogen removal. Physical and chemical properties of FCBC were detected and compared in this study. The nitrogen removal rate for low COD/TN ratio wastewater, nitrogen transformation process, and microbial communities in the FCBC filled in BAF were investigated. Results showed that the nitrogen removal rates was 0.38-0.41 kg N m(-3) day(-1) in the FCBC filled BAF and reached 0.62 kg N m(-3) day(-1) within the filter depth of 60-80 cm, under the conditions of the dissolved oxygen 3.5 ± 0.2 mg L(-1) and the inlet pH 7.2 ± 0.1. Hydrogenophaga (using hydrogen as electron donor), Sphaerotilus (absorbing [Fe(3+)]), Nitrospira (nitrificaion), and Nitrosomonas (ammonia oxidation) were found to be the predominant genera in the reactor. The reaction schemes in the FCBC filled in BAF was calculated: hydrogen and [Fe(3+)] were produced by Fe(0)-C galvanic cells in the FCBC, ammonia was oxidized into nitrate by Nitrosomonas and Nitrospira genera, hydrogen was used as electron donors by Hydrogenophaga genus to reduce nitrate into N2, and [Fe(3+)] was partly absorbed by Sphaerotilus and diverted via sludge discharging.

Abstract
Nitrogen pollution in ground and surface water significantly affects the environment and its organisms, thereby leading to an increasingly serious environmental problem. Such pollution is difficult to degrade because of the lack of carbon sources. Therefore, an electrochemical and biological coupling process (EBCP) was developed with a composite catalytic biological carrier (CCBC) and applied in a pilot-scale cylindrical reactor to treat wastewater with a carbon-to-nitrogen (C/N) ratio of 2. The startup process, coupling principle, and dynamic feature of the EBCP were examined along with the effects of hydraulic retention time (HRT), dissolved oxygen (DO), and initial pH on nitrogen removal. A stable coupling system was obtained after 51 days when plenty of biofilms were cultivated on the CCBC without inoculation sludge. Autotrophic denitrification, with [Fe(2+)] and [H] produced by iron-carbon galvanic cells in CCBC as electron donors, was confirmed by equity calculation of CODCr and nitrogen removal. Nitrogen removal efficiency was significantly influenced by HRT, DO, and initial pH with optimal values of 3.5 h, 3.5 ± 0.1 mg L(-1), and 7.5 ± 0.1, respectively. The ammonia, nitrate, and total nitrogen (TN) removal efficiencies of 90.1 to 95.3 %, 90.5 to 99.0 %, and 90.3 to 96.5 % were maintained with corresponding initial concentrations of 40 ± 2 mg L(-1) (NH3-N load of 0.27 ± 0.01 kg NH3-N m(-3) d(-1)), 20 ± 1 mg L(-1), and 60 ± 2 mg L(-1) (TN load of 0.41 ± 0.02 kg TN m(-3) d(-1)). Based on the Eckenfelder model, the kinetics equation of the nitrogen transformation along the reactor was N e  = N 0 exp (-0.04368 h/L(1.8438)). Hence, EBCP is a viable method for advanced low C/N ratio wastewater treatment.

Abstract
The aim of this work was to enhance the efficiency of a bioelectrochemical denitrification process using a biocathode of carbon felt (CF)/multiwall carbon nanotube (MWCNT) composite. The efficiency of the bioelectrochemical denitrification was assessed as the function of various operational parameters, such as ORP, pH, current density, retention time and nitrate concentrations. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images of the biocathode surfaces revealed a homogeneous distribution of the MWCNT on the CF matrix. Optimum ORP, pH, current density and retention time were -100 mV, 7.0, 15 mA/cm2 and 6 h, respectively. The highest nitrate removal efficiency at the optimum condition was 92.7% for CF/MWCNT. The reduction time for achieving the nitrate standard using CF/MWCNT was 4 h. It is proposed that the prepared nanocomposite will have the best biocathode properties in the bioelectrochemistry denitrification experiments.

Abstract
The impact of different types of extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields (ELF-EMF) on the growth of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli O157:H7 was investigated. The cultures of bacteria in broth media were exposed to sinusoidal homogenous ELF-EMF with 2 and 4 mT magnetic intensities. Each intensity for each bacteria was combined with three different frequencies (20, 40 and 50 Hz), and four different exposure times (1, 2, 4 and 6 h). A cell suspension of each experiment was diluted for the appropriate range and inoculated to Mueller-Hinton Agar (MHA) plates after exposure to ELF-EMF. The number of colony forming units (CFU) of both strains was obtained after incubation at 37 °C for 24 h. Data were statistically evaluated by one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), statistical significance was described at p < 0.05 and data were compared with their non-exposed controls. Magnetic intensity, frequency and exposure time of ELF-EMFs changed the characteristic responses for both microorganisms. Samples exposed to ELF-EMF showed a statistically significant decrease compared to their controls in colony forming capability, especially at long exposure times. An exposure to 4 mT-20 Hz ELF-EMF of 6 h produced maximum inhibition of CFU compared to their controls for both microorganisms (95.2% for S. aureus and 85% for E. coli).

Abstract
We aimed to investigate the effects of exposure to extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields (2 mT; 50 Hz) on the growth rate and antibiotic sensitivity of E. coli ATCC 25922 and P. aeruginosa ATCC 27853. The electromagnetic field treatment significantly influenced the growth rate of both strains when incubated in the presence of subinhibitory concentrations of kanamycin (1 μg/mL) and amikacin (0.5 μg/mL), respectively. In particular, at 4, 6, and 8 h of incubation the number of cells was significantly decreased in bacteria exposed to electromagnetic field when compared with the control. Additionally, at 24 h of incubation, the percentage of cells increased (P. aeruginosa∼42%; E. coli∼5%) in treated groups with respect to control groups suggesting a progressive adaptive response. By contrast, no remarkable differences were found in the antibiotic susceptibility and on the growth rate of both bacteria comparing exposed groups with control groups.

Abstract
50 Hz magnetic fields effects on Sulfate Reducing Bacteria (SRB) viability were studied by colony forming units (CFU) counting. We found a 15% decrease of CFU number after magnetic field exposure (B=7.1 mT, f=50 Hz, t=24 min) compared to the control samples. These results are in good agreement with our previous work on other bacterial strains. The magnetic field effects on SRB are relatively large for small magnetic fields. The data correlations have been subjected to a simple physical chemical analysis, yielding surprisingly large estimates for the characteristic magnetic reaction susceptibility, even when the entire bacterium is assumed to be the direct target of interaction of the magnetic ac fields for the exposures in the time range from 3-24  min.
