A new biofilm-activated sludge Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) treatment process for sewage or wastewater has successfully been developed as the third generation SBR (SBR3). This new SBR3 process utilizes a multi-stage and multi-sludge SBR configuration receiving either continuous or intermittent inflow of wastewater. Each stage has individually controlled continuous or alternating anaerobic/anoxic/aerobic operation, with or without mixing and recycling from the other stage(s). The configuration and operation is dependent upon the treatment objectives and effluent discharge requirements. In the preferred embodiment, carriers are used to facilitate control of operating conditions.

A vehicle body structure having a pillar member maintains the shape of a pillar member in a substantially linear state when the pillar member deforms inward toward the passenger compartment during a side collision. The pillar member has a collision force converting structure that is constituted by the curved shape of the pillar member. When a side collision force is imparted to the pillar member, the collision force converting structure converts it into and maintains it as a force acting on the pillar member in the lengthwise direction of the pillar member. Thus, the collision force is absorbed as a lengthwise compressive load in the pillar member. A shape maintaining structure restricts the inward deformation of the pillar member 3 toward the passenger compartment and holds the pillar member in a substantially linear shape to increase the efficiency with which the collision load is transferred to the side roof rail and side sill.
