  • Imperial College London Soil Microbial Interactions
    IMPERIAL COLLEGE LONDON SOIL MICROBIAL INTERACTIONS AFFECTING ENTERIC PATHOGEN SURVIVAL IN SEWAGE SLUDGE-AMENDED AGRICULTURAL SOIL PhD Thesis by Felipe Perez Viana February 2010 Supervisor Stephen R. Smith Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering Abstract The natural inactivation of enteric pathogens in soil is a critical component of the multi-barrier approach to prevent infectious disease in humans by enteric microorganisms when biosolids are used as a fertiliser and soil conditioner on agricultural land. The addition of biosolids to agricultural soil modifies the soil microbial community and ecological interactions. Ecological processes, especially the activities of predatory protozoa, may have a critical role in reducing the survival of enteric pathogenic bacteria when biosolids are applied to agricultural soil. To test this hypothesis a series of field experiments were established on two soils of contrasting organic matter content and fertility status, amended with different sludge types, to examine the interactions between the soil microbial biomass, total protozoa numbers, environmental and soil factors and their effects on the decay of the enteric indicator bacteria, Escherichia coli , in biosolids-amended soil. Soil microbial biomass carbon (SMBC) concentrations were influenced by soil physico-chemical properties and, in particular, larger background biomass concentrations were measured in unamended control soil containing the largest amount of organic matter. The microbiological content and substrate availability of the supplied materials also influenced the extent of the increases in SMBC. Soil protozoa numbers consistently -1 increased in both experimental field soils from background values of 3-3.5 log 10 g -1 ds to 4-4.5 log 10 g ds after sludge application.

  • Abbot Cook, London Road, Originally Named the Jack of Both Sides
    Abbot Cook, London Road, originally named the Jack of Both Sides. Joseph Pickett was licensee in 1841 and remained so till around 1865 when Edwin Moss took over. In one directory Moss is described as a fly proprietor, livery stable keeper and victualler. After a brief tenure by John Loveday, Joseph Watts was in charge during the 1880s but by 1891 the licensee was George Talbot, then aged 33. George ran the pub for many years, latterly assisted by his daughter, Mary, as barmaid, and then in or before 1911 his third son, Herbert Lawrence Talbot took over, remaining landlord for the best part of 30 years. A ‘German band’ used to play here in 1913, ‘one outside the pub and two inside’. The stability provided by the Talbot dynasty was quite in contrast to the post-war period when changes of licensee became much more frequent and the pub gradually acquired a less pleasant reputation in which the supply of illegal substances played a part. It was described in Reading Between the Lines (1984- 5) as ‘usually in a state of being boycotted owing to the type of landlord Courage insist on placing there’. It was taken over in the late 1990s by the It’s a Scream brand and renamed Upin Arms; the punning did not stop at the pub sign but included the designation of the toilets. Following a change in the policy of the Mitchell and Butlers pub group it was renamed Abbot Cook in 2010 with a new emphasis on real ale and food. This latest appellation is a reference to Hugh Faringdon Cook, the last Abbot of Reading, who was executed for high treason in 1539 by his erstwhile friend, King Henry VIII and who also has a Roman Catholic secondary school to his name in the Southcote district of Reading.

  • Calcot and South Tilehurst - Cycle Route Audit
    Calcot and south Tilehurst - Cycle Route Audit Purpose The Reading Cycle Campaign (RCC) has undertaken this cycle audit of Calcot and south Tilehurst at the request of West Berkshire District Council (WBDC). A group of RCC members has studied the area for routes that are likely to be of particular benefit to cyclists. They then cycled the various sections noting the existing infrastructure, any specific problems, and then listing a range of improvement measures, both short and long term. Leisure routes have not been considered as much as utility routes, but some comments are included. This report includes the specific recommendations as well as general ones. Areas considered and key cycling attractions Calcot is a mainly suburban area spread for about 1.5 miles along the A4 Bath Road corridor to the west of Reading. There are few main attractors to cyclists in the area, these being: the hypermarket, Next, and the new IKEA etc at the west of the area; the local shops off the A4 in the centre of the area; and the Kennet Valley Community Centre and Primary School at the eastern boundary. Other attractors are likely to be Reading town centre about three miles to the east, Theale School one mile to the west, Little Heath School to the north of the A4, and Prospect School half a mile to the east of the Calcot area. Cycling into Reading may be a quite feasible commute. Taking an average cycling speed of 10mph, this gives a time to cycle into central Reading of about 20-30 minutes, which is competitive to travel by car and bus journeys at peak times.
