Biogas production from animal waste is an economically viable way to reduce environmental pollution and produce valuable products, i.e., methane and a nutrient-rich organic waste product. An anaerobic digestion reactor for biogas production from pig waste was sampled at the entrance, middle (digestion chamber), and exit of a digester, while the bacterial and archaeal community structure was studied by 16S rRNA gene metagenomics. The number of bacterial operational taxonomic units (OTU)-97% was 3-7 times larger than that of archaeal ones. Bacteria and Archaea found in feces of animals (e.g., Clostridiaceae, Lachnospiraceae, Ruminococcaceae, Methanosarcina, Methanolobus, Methanosaeta, and Methanospirillum) dominated the entrance of the digester. The digestion chamber was dominated by anaerobic sugar-fermenting OP9 bacteria and the syntrophic bacteria Candidatus Cloacamonas (Waste Water of Evry 1; WWE1). The methanogens dominant in the digestion chamber were the acetoclastic Methanosaeta and the hydrogenothrophic Methanoculleus and Methanospirillum. Similar bacterial and archaeal groups that dominated in the middle of the digestion chamber were found in the waste that left the digester. Predicted functions associated with degradation of xenobiotic compounds were significantly different between the sampling locations. The microbial community found in an anaerobic digestion reactor loaded with pig manure contained microorganisms with biochemical capacities related to the 4 phases of methane production.

Background: Sponges are increasingly recognised as key ecosystem engineers in many aquatic habitats. They play an important role in nutrient cycling due to their unrivalled capacity for processing both dissolved and particulate organic matter (DOM and POM) and the exceptional metabolic repertoire of their diverse and abundant microbial communities. Functional studies determining the role of host and microbiome in organic nutrient uptake and exchange, however, are limited. Therefore, we coupled pulse-chase isotopic tracer techniques with nanoscale secondary ion mass spectrometry (NanoSIMS) to visualise the uptake and translocation of 13C- and 15N-labelled dissolved and particulate organic food at subcellular level in the high microbial abundance sponge Plakortis angulospiculatus and the low microbial abundance sponge Halisarca caerulea. Results: The two sponge species showed significant enrichment of DOM- and POM-derived 13C and 15N into their tissue over time. Microbial symbionts were actively involved in the assimilation of DOM, but host filtering cells (choanocytes) appeared to be the primary site of DOM and POM uptake in both sponge species overall, via pinocytosis and phagocytosis, respectively. Translocation of carbon and nitrogen from choanocytes to microbial symbionts occurred over time, irrespective of microbial abundance, reflecting recycling of host waste products by the microbiome. Conclusions: Here, we provide empirical evidence indicating that the prokaryotic communities of a high and a low microbial abundance sponge obtain nutritional benefits from their host-associated lifestyle. The metabolic interaction between the highly efficient filter-feeding host and its microbial symbionts likely provides a competitive advantage to the sponge holobiont in the oligotrophic environments in which they thrive, by retaining and recycling limiting nutrients. Sponges present a unique model to link nutritional symbiotic interactions to holobiont function, and, via cascading effects, ecosystem functioning, in one of the earliest metazoan–microbe symbioses. This dataset was collected in an experiment run between June and Juy 2018. It contains extracted values from NanoSIMS data, which gives the Atom% carbon and nitrogen from different cells of interest in sponge tissue over time. The last tab contains bulk stable isotope data (from EA-IRMS) from the sponges used in the experiment. Included are isotopic enrichment of sponge tissue in delta notation and carbon and nitrogen content (%) and dryweight of the sponge tissue. From these values, incoporation rates of dissolved and particulate organic matter are derived, which are provided in the main text and supplementary materials.  There are no missing values.

This study examines the organised volunteer charity work based on the survey of selected Upper Austrian organisations. It looks at their basic structure, the possible need of reform due to the change in society and the resulting suggestions for a strong, sustainable, organisational and institutional framework. Also inter-generational and gender aspects as well as the ratio of full-time workers and volunteers are included. The emphasis lay on organisations with a broad spectrum of voluntary involvement. The field of sport, lobbies and political parties as well as the broad spectrum of informal help were consciously left out since the latter has usually no organisational involvement. The emphasis of the study was on Upper Austrian umbrella organisations and associations with honorary sponsorship as well as full-time and honorary workers in the fields of culture, education, social policy and environment. The aim of the study was to determine the need of reform in voluntary organisations due to the change in society and to develop suggestions for a strong, sustainable, organisational and institutional framework.

With the advancement of technologies, the modern industries like aerospace, aviation, oil & gas, nuclear power, electronic and electric, heat treating, medical and high tech industries are interested in using economical and high performance materials. This leads to use of materials in the more vigorous industrial conditions at the high temperatures where traditional materials can hardly be employed. Nowadays manufacturers and nickel suppliers are more focused in meeting the tough needs of demanding industries with the well fabricated materials that can withstand in the high temperature and severely corrosive conditions for the prolong period such as Monel, Inconel, Incoloy and Hastelloy alloys. In the chemical processing plants, alloys that are preferred for use are nickel - chromium alloys, nickel - copper alloys, copper – nickel alloys, iron- nickel – chromium alloys, austenitic chromium – nickel steels and stainless steels. These materials can be suitably used in handling the alkali products such as caustic soda, caustic potash and others. Deep oil and well plants include high temperature and pressure conditions where nickel based superalloys such as Inconel 625, Incoloy 825 and Hastelloy alloys. The pure metals and alloys for Aerospace engineering are titanium, Inconel 617, Inconel 718, Inconel X750, Nimonic 90, Nilo 36 and Incoloy A286. Inconel and Incoloy alloys are commonly used in gas turbines in aircraft engines. The nuclear power production industries commonly use the alloys- nimonic 75, nimonic 80A, alloy 718, alloy 600, alloy 617 and alloy X750. Nickel alloys are also significantly used in other high temperature and critical application industries such as welding, pollution and waste treatment, thermal processing, petro processing and electric and telecom.
