Effects of temperature and temperature shock on the performance and microbial community structure of a submerged anaerobic membrane bioreactor (SAnMBR) treating thermomechanical pulping pressate were studied for 416 days. The results showed that the SAnMBR system were highly resilient to temperature variations in terms of chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal. The residual COD in treated effluen...

Molecular imaging is the noninvasive visualization of normal as well as abnormal cellular processes at a molecular or genetic level of function. It is used to provide characterization and measurement of biological processes in living animals and humans (in vivo). The discipline of molecular imaging evolved rapidly over the past decade through the integration of cell biology, molecular biology a...

Heat capacities of mass selected deprotonated water clusters (H(2)O)(n-1)OH(-) have been measured in the size range n = 48-118, as a function of temperature. We have found that they undergo a melting-like transition in the range 110-130 K. The transition temperature is size dependent with a strong correlation with the dissociation energy around the shell closure at n = 55.

A mobile Rayleigh temperature lidar was deployed in Golmud (36.25°N 94.54°E), Qinghai in China for making measurements of mesosphere temperature from 55 up to 90 km. The mesospheric thermal structure was obtained during the winter seasons of Year 2013 and Year 2014. At the altitude of 57~79 km, lidar temperatures were much colder than the MSIS-00 model predictions. However, in the lower mesosph...

introduction: cleft lip and palate is a congenital anomaly occurring in 3 in 1000 live birth. one the major concern in this patient is about cleft gap and its surgical problems. several surgical and non-surgical procedures have been done to decrease this gap. they aimed to achieve the more esthetic results as well as feeding success. nasoalveolar molding (nam) is a new method for reshaping nasa...

The growth range in nature of bacteria belonging to the genus Thermus was investigated by sampling 55 different hot springs in Iceland. The springs ranged in temperature from 32 to 99 degrees C, and in pH from 2.1 to 10.1. Viable counts of Thermus spp. ranging from 10 to 10 CFU/100 ml of spring water were found in 27 of the springs sampled. The temperature range for these bacteria was found to ...

Additional enzymes pretreatment technology can promote the hydrolysis of excess activated sludge, while increasing gas production. Single enzyme pretreatment of sludge, alkaline protease has a better effect of hydrolysis. The optimum working conditions for alkaline protease: pH value of 8.0, the solid-liquid ratio of 1:4, the enzyme concentration of 2%, the working temperature of 55°C, reaction...

Animal data has long supported the concept of managing temperature by inducing hypothermia following cardiac arrest to improve neurological outcome. In 2002 two landmark trials were published in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM); A European multicentre trial with a total of 136 patients compared therapeutic hypothermia of 32-34 for 24 hours to normothermia and demonstrated 55% vs 39% f...

To evaluate the long-term stability of a new liquid quality-control serum ("Decision", Beckman Instruments, Inc.) stabilized with ethylene glycol (330 mL/L), we analyzed it for 22 commonly measured analytes during storage at 2--8 degrees C for 24 days or -15 to -20 degrees C for 55 weeks. Three separate laboratories replicated the analyses, using various analytical methodologies. The data were ...
