2,318,587 | Coupling Bioflocculation of Dehalococcoides mccartyi to High-Rate Reductive Dehalogenation of Chlorinated Ethenes.<Pagination><StartPage>11297</StartPage><EndPage>11307</EndPage><MedlinePgn>11297-11307</MedlinePgn></Pagination><ELocationID EIdType="doi" ValidYN="Y">10.1021/acs.est.7b03097</ELocationID><Abstract><Abstra... | Continuous bioreactors operated at low hydraulic retention times have rarely been explored for reductive dehalogenation of chlorinated ethenes. The inability to consistently develop such bioreactors affects the way growth approaches for Dehalococcoides mccartyi bioaugmentation cultures are envisioned. It also affects i... |
2,318,588 | Investigation on the anaerobic co-digestion of food waste with sewage sludge. | In this laboratory-scale investigation on the applicability of the co-digestion of food waste with sewage sludge, evaluated were the effects of the single-stage versus two-stage operating modes at the hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 15 days, and the impact of HRTs: 15 days vs. 25 days, on the single-st... |
2,318,589 | A Preliminary Investigation of Metacognitive Therapy and Habit Reversal as a Treatment for Trichotillomania. | Not all patients suffering from trichotillomania (TTM) recover completely using CBT and of those that do, only a few maintain their recovery over time.</AbstractText>The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effectiveness of metacognitive methods combined with habit reversal (MCT/HRT) in trichotillomania ... |
2,318,590 | Circulating dehydroepiandrosterone-sulphate decreases even with a slight change in oestradiol. | The aim of this study was to determine the effect of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) on changes in circulating dehydroepiandrosterone-sulphate (DHEA-S) with focus on the relationship between oestrogen level and change in DHEA-S. Forty-two women were enrolled in this longitudinal study. Nineteen women received oral oe... |
2,318,591 | Nitric oxide-heat shock protein axis in menopausal hot flushes: neglected metabolic issues of chronic inflammatory diseases associated with deranged heat shock response. | Although some unequivocal underlying mechanisms of menopausal hot flushes have been demonstrated in animal models, the paucity of similar approaches in humans impedes further mechanistic outcomes. Human studies might show some as yet unexpected physiological mechanisms of metabolic adaptation that permeate the phase of... |
