2,312,091 | Hormone replacement therapy: controversies, pros and cons. | Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is a complicated clinical issue that requires an in-depth risk/benefit assessment. The term HRT includes both oestrogen plus progestin therapy (OPT) and oestrogen-only therapy (OT). Much research has been done with the former, but additional research is still needed for the latter. Thi... |
2,312,092 | UV disinfection in a model distribution system:; biofilm growth and microbial community. | Two model distribution systems were operated in parallel to investigate the impact of UV disinfection on water distribution system biofilms and microbial community composition. One system received an influent irradiated with UV light, whereas the control received the same influent with no treatment. The biofilm in the ... |
2,312,093 | Removal of carbon and nutrients from domestic wastewater using a low investment, integrated treatment concept. | An integrated chemical-physical-biological treatment concept for the low-cost treatment of domestic wastewater is proposed. Domestic wastewater was subjected to a chemically enhanced primary treatment (CEPT), followed by treatment in an upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor.
