The mechanism of biomass granulation in anaerobic reactors has been widely studied in the hope that this could be helpful in manupulating the rate and extent of granule formation, particularly in wastewaters that show little intrinsic propensity to granulate (e.g. fat and oil containing effluents). Similarly, in this study, sets of sludge samples were taken from Normal Fed Anaerobic Baffled Rea...

Wet granulation in twin-screw extrusion machinery is an attractive technology for the continuous processing of pharmaceuticals. The performance of this machinery is integrally tied to its screw design yet little fundamental knowledge exists in this emerging field for granulation to intelligently create, troubleshoot, and scale-up such processes. This study endeavored to systematically examine t...

INTRODUCTION Otorrhea and granulation tissue in Canal Wall Down mastoidectomy (CWD) is the common problem in cholesteatoma removal and leads to many discomfort for both the patient and the physician. The main objective in CWD is creating the dry cavity, so the topical antibiotic and acetic acid in variable saturations are used for this purpose. In this study we evaluate the effectiveness of top...

The following case is unusual in its clinical history. I am of opinion that it is not any form of gumma, nor a hydatid; it can scarcely be looked upon as inflammatory, though its histology is probably similar to granulation tissue-formations. There can be no longer any suspicion of its malignant nature.

BACKGROUND We report a case of symptomatic actinomycosis associated with vaginal suture erosion and granulation tissue refractory to conservative management, in an outpatient setting. CASE Three months after total vaginal hysterectomy and uterosacral ligament vaginal vault suspension, a woman complained of painless, intermittent vaginal discharge and spotting. Despite cauterization of granula...

Granular computing, initiated by Lotfi A. Zadeh, has acquired wide popularity as a tool for approximate reasoning, fusion of knowledge, cognitive computing. The need for formal methods of granulation, and means for computing with granules, has been addressed in this work by applying methods of rough mereology. Rough mereology is an extension of mereology taking as the primitive notion the notio...

The effect of coaggregation of the two bacterial strains Propioniferax-like PG-02 and Comamonassp. PG-08 on phenol degradation and aerobic granulation was investigated. While PG-02 was characterized as a phenol-degrader with a low half-saturation kinetics constant, PG-08 possessed strong aggregation ability with poor phenol degradation ability. The two strains coaggregated through involvement o...

Context. An important benchmark for current observational techniques and theoretical modeling of exoplanet atmospheres is the transit of Venus (ToV). Stellar activity and, in particular, convection-related surface structures, potentially cause fluctuations that can affect the transit light curves. Surface convection simulations can help interpreting the ToV as well as other transits outside our...

A theory of granular computing is presented. Some classical example are examined to obtain the hint of new directions Obvious examples are dynamic programming, fuzzy numbers, infinitesimal number and access control model, (pre)topological spaces are examined; Localized multi-level granulation can be modeled by generalized topological spaces, called neighborhood systems. For most general granula...
