The results showed that the EGSB reactor had good pe... |
2,314,687 | [Bioaugmentation with immobilized genetically engineered microorganism (GEM)/CAS process for treatment of atrazine wastewater]. | Bioaugmentation with immobilized genetically engineered microorganism (GEM)/conventional activated sludge (CAS) process for treatment of atrazine wastewater was investigated and effects of hydraulic retention time (HRT) on treatment efficiency, activities of GEM were discussed. The results showed that when HRT was 4-24... |
2,314,688 | [Treatment of municipal wastewater with low C/N ratio using an intermittently aerated membrane bioreactor]. | A laboratory-scale intermittently aerated membrane bioreactor was applied to treat synthetic household wastewater characterized with low organic matter and high nitrogen concentration. Experimental results showed that at the condition of HRT 12 h, aeration/non-aeration cycle 30 min/60 min and a very long SRT, more than... |
2,314,689 | [Characteristics and affecting factors of denitrifying phosphorus removal in two-sludge sequencing batch reactor]. | The characteristics of denitrifying phosphorus removal in a lab-scale two-sludge anaerobic-anoxic/nitrification SBR (A2 NSBR) system were studied fed with domestic wastewater. The influence of some key operation parameters, like C/P, C/N, and HRT, were examined using parallel tests, pH, dissolved oxygen (DO) and redox ... |
2,314,690 | Use of total abdominal hysterectomy and hormone replacement therapy in BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers undergoing risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy. | Risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy (RRSO) reduces the risk of developing ovarian and breast cancer in BRCA 1 and BRCA 2 (BRCA1/2) mutation carriers. The short-term use of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) after RRSO may relieve menopausal symptoms and does not appear to affect the breast cancer risk reduction gained b... |
2,314,691 | Optimisation of biogas production from manure through serial digestion: lab-scale and pilot-scale studies. | In the present study, the possibility of optimizing biogas production from manure by serial digestion was investigated. In the lab-scale experiments, process performance and biogas production of serial digestion, two methanogenic continuously stirred tank reactors (CSTR) connected in series, was compared to a conventio... |
2,314,692 | Comparative performance and microbial diversity of hyperthermophilic and thermophilic co-digestion of kitchen garbage and excess sludge. | The objective of this study was to evaluate the performance characteristics of a hyperthermophilic digester system that consists of an acidogenic reactor operated at hyperthermophilic (70 degrees C) conditions in series with a methane reactor operated at mesophilic (35 degrees C), thermophilic (55 degrees C), and hyper... |
2,314,693 | New thoughts about estrogen therapy from the Women's Health Initiative. | Since the introduction of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) in 1942, the availability of scientific information regarding the physiologic action of estrogen alone and in combination with progesterone has grown substantially.
