Bulking I: An abstract theory of bulking
This paper is the first part of a series of two papers dealing with bulking: a quasi-order on cellular automata comparing space-time diagrams up to some rescaling. Bulking is a generalization of grouping taking into account universality phenomena, giving rise to a maximal equivalence class. In the present paper, we discuss the proper components of grouping and study the most general extensions....

These bulking agents may be injected by a retrograde or antegrade technique in the periurethral tissue around the bl...
متن کاملTroubleshooting of Filamentous Bulking Using Hybdrid Systems
The present work aims to evaluate filamentous bulking control in hybrid systems. For this study, four sequencing batch reactors (SBR) fed with acetate were operated without (SBR1) and with support for biofilm growth [5 % (SBR2), 10 % (SBR3) and 20 % (SBR4) of the reactor volume]. The results demonstrated an overabundance of a filamentous fungi-like microorganism in the SBR operating just with s...
متن کاملNovel bulking agent for faecal incontinence
BACKGROUND Various injectable bulking agents have been used for the treatment of faecal incontinence (FI). However, encouraging early results are not maintained over time. This study aimed to assess short- and medium-term results of a new bulking agent for the treatment of FI. METHODS The Gatekeeper(™) prosthesis comprises a thin solid polyacrylonitrile cylinder that becomes thicker, shorter ...
