Sustainable development is driving a rapid focus shift in the wastewater and organic waste treatment sectors, from a “removal and disposal” approach towards the recovery and reuse of water, energy and materials (e.g. carbon or nutrients). Purple phototrophic bacteria (PPB) are receiving increasing attention due to their capability of growing…[Read more]

Synchrony of energy and nitrogen release in rumen has been proposed to maximize ruminal microbial fermentation. However, the information regarding bacterial community composition and its metabolism under a higher or lower degree of synchronization is limited. In our study, a 0 to 6 h post-feeding infusion (first half infusion, FHI), 6 to 12 h…[Read more]

005). The period of second-line treatment in the cooperative group was significantly longer (P=0.003) than that in the solo group, whereas the proportion of patients who subsequently received third-line treatment was higher in the cooperative group, 58. 5%, than in the solo and joint groups, 26. 5% and 25. 5%, respectively. Posttreatment QoL…[Read more]

The study further provided significant potential future energy savings as high as 50% and 78% through implementation of simple and complex aeration energy conservation measures respectively. Generally, the model-predicted energy savings suggest that adoption of energy efficiency should be coupled with electricity generation from sludge in order to…[Read more]

Thus, this study indicates S. angustifolium is better adapted in comparison to S. fallax for drier and warmer conditions.The Picornaviridae are a diverse family of positive-strand RNA viruses that includes numerous human and veterinary pathogens1. Among these, hepatitis A virus (HAV), a common cause of acute hepatitis in humans, is unique in that…[Read more]

Background Emotion processing has received significant research attention in persons with schizophrenia. read more However, some aspects of this construct, such as emotion awareness, are less researched. In addition, there is limited work on metacognitive awareness and social functioning in persons with schizophrenia. Methods Our sample comprised…[Read more]

Health care-associated infections (HAIs) affect millions of patients annually with up to 80,000 affected in Europe on any given day. This represents a significant societal and economic burden. Staff training, hand hygiene, patient identification and isolation and controlled antibiotic use are some of the standard ways to reduce HAI incidence but…[Read more]

without prior HIV drug resistance, sustains viral suppression and yields better lipid profiles. This finding supports its use as switching therapy in patients receiving PI-based regimens due to intolerance to efavirenz and NVP and previous alternatives limited to PI in resource-limited settings. © 2020 The Authors. Journal of the International…[Read more]

No complications occurred. After a mean follow-up of 14±6 months, no recurrent VT was documented in 2/2 pts with baseline VT and a mean 84% reduction in PVC burden (31±13% vs 4±5% PVC/d; p=0,0027) was documented in others. CONCLUSION In pts with LVS-VAs arising from the inaccessible region and refractory to conventional RFA, an anatomical ap…[Read more]

We investigated gene expression profiles of the corpus luteum (CL) at the time of maternal recognition to evaluate the functional changes of the CL during early pregnancy in cows and help improve reproductive efficiency and avoid defective fetuses. Microarray analyses using a 15 K bovine oligo DNA microarray detected 30 differentially expressed…[Read more]

Conclusively, it can be identified that when grown in Cu-contaminated soil, C-3 and HT have greater ability to grow in polluted soils and possible phytoremediation materials to revoke a large amount of Cu.The correct name of the 3rd Author is presented in this paper.Since antibiotics show hormesis effects in cyanobacteria at the nanogram per liter…[Read more]
