In order to fight climate change and decouple economic growth from material use, valorization of waste will be fundamental. Sorghum is one the most important summer crops in world. The non-edible parts plant, stalks leaves are left over must disposed of. This work proposes use sorghum particles as a raw manufacture boards analyze influence its density. Particles were sprayed with 10% wt water p...

The influence of fatty acids on ileal absorption of water, electrolytes, glucose, and taurocholate was examined in Thirty-Vella fistulas in five mongrel dogs. Fatty acid absorption also was measured. Segments of terminal ileum were perfused at steady state with isotonic electrolyte solutions containing 11.2 mM glucose, 4.5 mM taurocholate, and 0.1-5.0 mM fatty acid. Three C(18) fatty acids, ole...

A common strategy in mitigating secondary salinity in southern Australia is the planting of trees and other deep-rooted perennial vegetation. Planting needs to target areas where perennials will provide the most benefit by minimising runoff and groundwater recharge. A number of one-dimensional (1D) water balance models have been developed in Australia that predict water balance components (evap...

Glycol ethers are solvents widely used alone and as mixtures in industrial and household products. Some glycol ethers have been shown to have a range of toxic effects in humans following absorption and metabolism to their aldehyde and acid metabolites. This study assessed the influence of water mixtures on the dermal absorption of butoxyethanol and ethoxyethanol in vitro through human skin. But...

This paper presents a comprehensive study on the possibility of sewage sludge management in a sintered ceramic material such as a lightweight aggregate. Made from clay and sludge lightweight aggregates were sintered at two temperatures: 1100 °C (name of sample LWA1) and 1150 °C (name of sample LWA2). Physical and mechanical properties indicate that the resulting expanded clay aggregate containi...

Tangential flow ultrafiltration (UF) was used to concentrate and recover bacterial indicators and enteric viruses from 100 liters of groundwater (GW; n = 10) and surface water (SW; n = 11) samples collected in Lower Yakima Valley, WA. Human and bovine enteric viruses were analyzed in SW and GW concentrates by real-time PCR by using integrated inhibition detection.
