Industrial By-Products: Stress Factors or Nutrients

Use of industrial by-products and natural media to adsorb nutrients, metals and organic carbon from drinking water.

Filtration technology is well established in the water sector but is limited by inability to remove targeted contaminants, found in surface and groundwater, which can be damaging to human health. This study optimises the design of filters by examining the efficacy of seven media (fly ash, bottom ash, Bayer residue, granular blast furnace slag (GBS), pyritic fill, granular activated carbon (GAC)...

Lexicons and grammars for language processing : industrial or handcrafted products ?

During the recent years, the use of linguistic data for language processing (semantic ambiguity resolution, translation...) increased progressively. Such data are now commonly called language resources. A few years ago, nearly all the language resources used for this purpose were collections of texts as the Brown Corpus and the Penn Treebank, but the use of electronic lexicons (WordNet, FrameNe...

Regulation of the mTOR complex 1 pathway by nutrients, growth factors, and stress.

The large serine/threonine protein kinase mTOR regulates cellular and organismal homeostasis by coordinating anabolic and catabolic processes with nutrient, energy, and oxygen availability and growth factor signaling. Cells and organisms experience a wide variety of insults that perturb the homeostatic systems governed by mTOR and therefore require appropriate stress responses to allow cells to...
