2,315,887 | Optimization of a mainstream nitritation-denitritation process and anammox polishing. | This paper deals with an almost 1-year long pilot study of a nitritation-denitritation process that was followed by anammox polishing. The pilot plant treated real municipal wastewater at ambient temperatures. The effluent of high-rate activated sludge process (hydraulic retention time, HRT=30 min, solids retention tim... |
2,315,888 | Identification of beta-sitosterol and stigmasterol in Bambusa bambos (L.) Voss leaf extract using HPLC and its estrogenic effect in vitro. | Focus of the study is to identify a safe alternate to Hormone Replacement Therapy by identifying the presence of β-sitosterol and stigmasterol in the hydroalcoholic extract of Bambusa bambos using HPTLC and RP-HPLC-PDA; by evaluating the estrogenic effects of extract containing β-sitosterol and stigmasterol... |
2,315,889 | Treatment of sewage sludge in a thermophilic membrane reactor (TMR) with alternate aeration cycles. | The management of sewage sludge is becoming a more and more important issue, both at national and international level, in particular due to the uncertain recovery/disposal future options. Therefore, it is clear that the development of new technologies that can mitigate the problem at the source by reducing sludge produ... |
2,315,890 | Treatment of petrochemical wastewater by microaerobic hydrolysis and anoxic/oxic processes and analysis of bacterial diversity. | Microaerobic hydrolysis-acidification (MHA)-anoxic-oxic (A/O) processes were developed to treat actual petrochemical wastewater. The results showed that the overall COD removal efficiency was 72-79% at HRT=20h, and MHA accounted for 33-42% of COD removal, exhibiting good efficiency of acidogenic fermentation. Ammonium ... |
2,315,891 | Postoperative hormone replacement therapy for epithelial ovarian cancer patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis. | Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) has been proven highly effective for menopausal symptoms caused by radical surgery. However, the impact of postoperative HRT on the clinical outcomes of patients previously treated for epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) remains unclear.</AbstractText>To determine whether postoperative HRT... |
2,315,892 | [Value of Heidelberg retinal tomography in glaucoma diagnostics]. | The Heidelberg retinal tomography (HRT) is a technique that has been used for more than 20 years for glaucoma diagnostics and management. Many hundreds of scientific investigations have tested the reliability and accuracy of HRT for the early diagnosis of glaucoma and just as many studies can be found on the detection ... |
2,315,893 | The Esg Gene Is Involved in Nicotine Sensitivity in Drosophila melanogaster. | In humans, there is a strong correlation between sensitivity to substances of abuse and addiction risk. This differential tolerance to drugs has a strong genetic component. The identification of human genetic factors that alter drug tolerance has been a difficult task. For this reason and taking advantage of the fact t... |
2,315,894 | The effectiveness and safety of plum-blossom needle therapy for Tourette syndrome: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial. | Previous studies have indicated that acupuncture can alleviate the symptoms of Tourette syndrome (TS), but the evidence is insufficient. So far, there have been no reports on plum-blossom needle therapy for TS. Here we present a protocol for a randomized controlled trial using plum-blossom needle therapy to treat TS.</... |
