2,311,686 | Increased biological hydrogen production with reduced organic loading. | An experimental matrix consisting of reactor hydraulic retention time (HRT) and glucose loading rate was tested to understand the effect of organic loading on H2 production in chemostat reactors. In order to vary the glucose loading rate over a range of 0.5-18.9 g/h, the glucose concentration in the feed was varied fro... |
2,311,687 | Synthetic progestins used in HRT have different glucocorticoid agonist properties. | The synthetic progestins, medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) and norethisterone acetate (NET-EN or NET-A), are widely used as female contraceptive agents and in hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Competitive binding revealed that MPA displays a higher relative binding affinity than NET-A and progesterone (prog) for the ... |
2,311,688 | [Pilot study on the biochemical treatment of mother liquid of polyvinyl chloride produced by suspension polymerization]. | In the pilot study on the treatment of mother liquid of polyvinyl chloride produced by suspension polymerization (SPVC) by using a novel aerobic treatment system-4 cascade aerobic biofilm reactors with internal circulation, the removal efficiencies of the COD and turbidity at different HRT together with the resistance ... |
2,311,689 | Removal of antibiotics in wastewater: Effect of hydraulic and solid retention times on the fate of tetracycline in the activated sludge process. | A study was conducted to examine the influence of hydraulic retention time (HRT) and solid retention time (SRT) on the removal of tetracycline in the activated sludge processes. Two lab-scale sequencing batch reactors (SBRs) were operated to simulate the activated sludge process. One SBR was spiked with 250 microg/L te... |
2,311,690 | Hormone replacement therapy and cognitive performance in postmenopausal women--a review by cognitive domain. | Laboratory, animal and neuroimaging evidences suggest that hormone replacement therapy (HRT) may be beneficial to human cognition. This systematic review includes 26 studies on the association between HRT and cognition and 17 studies on HRT and risk of dementia. It was hypothesised that HRT would have a positive associ... |
2,311,691 | Hybrid process for heavy metal removal from wastewater sludge. | Bioleaching processes have been demonstrated to be effective technologies in removing heavy metals from wastewater sludge, but long hydraulic retention times are typically required to operate these bioprocesses. A hybrid process (coupling biological and chemical processes) has been explored in laboratory pilot-scale ex... |
2,311,692 | Menopausal treatment dilemma: a challenge for women and nurses. | An important goal of nursing research in women's health is to develop knowledge and identify interventions that strive to promote, maintain, and enhance well-beingfor women. A new emphasis on the quality of life, health promotion, and cost-effective delivery modes has opened the door to nontraditional approachesfor a m... |
2,311,693 | Screening for primary open-angle glaucoma in the developed world: are we there yet? | In 1995, the Quebec Agency for Health Services and Technology Assessment (AETMIS) stated that a formal screening program for primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) could not be recommended for the province of Quebec, owing to "a high degree of uncertainty and because of the high cost such a program would entail." The purpo... |
2,311,694 | Gefitinib-responsive EGFR-positive colorectal cancers have different proteome profiles from non-responsive cell lines. | Biomarkers that predict response to therapy with inhibitors of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase remain largely uncharacterized. In order to define proteins involved in potential resistance mechanisms, we examined the effect of gefitinib (ZD1839, Iressa) in the EGFR-positive colon cancer cell line... |
