2,315,090 | Effect of pH on anoxic sulfide oxidizing reactor performance. | The effects of pH on the performance of anoxic sulfide oxidizing (ASO) reactor were evaluated. Performance was investigated under various operational conditions at influent pH range of 4-11. At the influent pH of 7-7.5 during loading tests and HRT tests, the sulfide oxidation was partial. In general, the amount of sulf... |
2,315,091 | An analysis of ovarian cancer in the Million Women Study. | In a reanalysis of the Million Women Study (MWS), their authors concluded that prolonged use of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) in postmenopausal women increases the risk of ovarian cancer.
