Measurement of Biodegradable Organic Matter with Biofilm Reactors by Louis A. The three primary research goals of the project were to: (1) develop total organic carbon (TOC) standards that can be used with all TOC methodologies. Uncertainties about the analytical accuracy of TOC measurements are the result of inadequate proficiency evaluation standards.

The drinking water industry is involved in work designed to improve biological treatment of water, control bacterial regrowth in distribution systems, and measure biodegradable NOM concentrations. It constitutes precursors for disinfectant by-product formation and supports regrowth of bacteria.

The Strange Case of William Mumler, Spirit Photographer is the definitive resource for this unique and fascinating moment in American history and provides insights into today’s ghosts in the machine.The Role of Organic Matter in Structuring Microbial Communities (1st Edition) (Awwa Research Foundation Reports) by Louis A. Mumler’s case was an early example of investigative journalism intersecting with a criminal trial that, at its essence, set science against religion.

Kaplan also contributes two extended essays, which offer a historical perspective of the Mumler phenomena and delve into the sociocultural and theoretical issues surrounding this vivid ghost story.
