The reactor was operated under an intermittent aeration of 25 min in every 1 h and varying feeding conditions (0.264, 0.403 and 0.773 kg BOD 5 /m 3 d). A total of 14 protozoan and metazoan taxa were identified by microscopic examination. Sessile ciliates, followed by crawling ciliates, were the major protozoan groups under 0.403 kg BOD 5 /m 3 d organic loading conditions, while sessile ciliate population was remarkably increased under an organic loading of 0.773 kg BOD 5 /m 3 d. Principal Component Analysis and Pearson correlation coefficient tests were performed in order to reveal relationships between microfauna community and operational parameters. Ciliophora specific-18S rRNA gene clone library was constructed to identify ciliate diversity under 0.773 kg BOD 5 /m 3 d organic loading conditions. Ciliophora diversity consisted of members of Aspidiscidae, Epistylidae, Opisthonectidae and Vorticellidae, with the majority of the clones being associated with the species Vorticella fusca. At least one novel phylogenetic linkage among Ciliophora was identified. Comparisons made after molecular characterization and microscopic examination of Ciliophora community showed that the estimation of broad ciliate groups is useful for ecological considerations and evaluation of the operational conditions in wastewater treatment plants.

The book ‘’Tsalka. Elements of history and folklore of the Turkish-speaking Greeks of Caucasus’’ ... more The book ‘’Tsalka. Elements of history and folklore of the Turkish-speaking Greeks of Caucasus’’ aims to provide various information about the Pontic-Greek villages of Tsalka, located in the southern region of Georgia.
During the 20th century there were 43 Greek villages spread around a central Turkish-speaking village called Tsalka, all together conventionally called «the villages of Tsalka». During the final years of the Soviet period, due to the increase in population and the evolution of the regional infrastructure, Tsalka was proclaimed as the town of Tsalka, whose center was the old central village.
The book is divided into two main parts. The first part deals with the origin of the Greeks of Tsalka from Pontus and analyzes the historical conditions of their migration and settlement in Georgia. It refers to their further historical route including the communist persecution of the beginning of 20th century. It describes the post-war change of the physiognomy of the region up to the mass migration of the Greeks at the beginning of the 21st century. This part also includes references to some personalities of Tsalka, who played a significant role in the local history and to those who distinguished themselves in various sectors, like scientists and war heroes.
In the second part, various elements of the folklore of the Greeks of Tsalka and especially that of the Turkish-speaking people are presented in some features of their daily life, such as residence, food, clothing, professions, and also spiritual features like language, religion, customs, morals and oral tradition.
The book ends with a conceptional epilogue and two indexes containing various documents and photos.
