2,319,187 | Effects of electrokinetic and ultrasonication pre-treatment and two-step anaerobic digestion of biowastes on the nitrogen fertiliser value by injection or surface banding to cereal crops. | Biogas production from anaerobic digestion (AD) of biowastes is restricted by the recalcitrant nature of many substrates, and this may also reduce the fertiliser value of the produced digestate. The degradability of substrates can potentially be enhanced by physico-chemical pre-treatments before AD, and/or the degradat... |
2,319,188 | Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in premature ovarian failure: Mechanisms and prospects. | Premature ovarian failure (POF) is a common female reproductive disorder and characterized by menopause, increased gonadotropin levels and estrogen deficiency before the age of 40 years old.
