BACKGROUND Various nutrients are known to alter small intestinal motility patterns although their effect on transit of fluids and solids in man is not clear. AIMS To determine small intestinal transit of solids and liquids during perfusion with lipids, protein, and non-energy solutions. METHODS Twenty eight healthy volunteers received a jejunal infusion (1 ml/minute for 30 minutes) of one o...

The rotary vacuum filter is very basic in design, application and operation. It is also an extremely effective solid/liquid separation device due to its unique methods of handling (discharging) formed cake solids, relatively low operating labor requirements and its ability to filter continuous or batch process flows. The rudiments of a rotary vacuum filter installation include (Figure 1): (1) t...

Specific ATP content of volatile solids was measured to characterize the sludge activity in a sequential an-aerobic/aerobic wastewater treatment system, with an upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor and a three-phase aerobic fluidized bed (AFB) reactor. The wastewater COD level was 2000-3000 mg/L in simulation of real textile waste-water. The ATP content and the specific ATP contents o...

In this experiment, an attempt was made to prepare dahi for diabetic patient and also to monitor the quality of prepared dahi by using different tests. For this purpose, artificial sweeteners such as sac-sweet and sucrol were added with milk to prepare dahi for diabetic patient. Milk sample was collected from the Bangladesh Agricultural University Dairy Farm. Three different types of dahi (Adah...

This study focused on improving and diversifying the food and nutrition status of soy milk prepared by germinating the soyabeans prior to soy milk preparation and evaluating its quality and potential for acceptance. The pH, moisture, fat, protein, ash and total solid content of raw material soyabean were 6.76, 12,17.67,39.6, 5.3, 88 %. Non-Germinated and Germinated Soy milk (from shorttime Soya...

Integrated fixed film activated sludge (IFAS) is an increasingly popular modification of conventional activated sludge, consisting of the addition of solid media to bioreactors to create hybrid attached/suspended growth systems. While the benefits of this technology for improvement of nitrification and other functions are well-demonstrated, little is known about its effects on biomass settleabi...
