Abstract Pressurized hot water extraction (HWE) treatment has the benefit of simultaneous hemicellulose-based carbohydrates and modification solid phase, but it does not drastically improve wood durability. However, removing hemicelluloses from by HWE creates water-filled spaces in cell walls which could be filled with agent order to properties wood. Without drying, can added into saturated via...

There has been lot of interest in different kinds of rate constant which characterizes different enzymes [1-5]. Most enzymes studied may be described as industrial enzymes because of commercial objectives, which include production of industrial fuels, bioethanol [6-8], production of bulking agent, water retention agent, thickeners etc [4]. Some of the products are highly important in a wide ran...

We compared the bulking and tensile strength of the Pennington modified Kessler, Cruciate and the Savage repairs in an ex vivo model. A total of 60 porcine tendons were randomised to three groups, half repaired using a core suture alone and the remainder employing a core and peripheral technique. The tendons were distracted to failure. The force required to produce a 3 mm gap, the ultimate stre...

This experimental work investigated the property of membrane fouling for different sludges at high flux 20 L/(m(2)h). The MBR with good aerobic granular sludge performed the longest operation time 61 days, and TMP rose up in a steady overall rate, while only 10, 14 and 19 days for bulking, flocculent and small granular sludge, respectively, which clearly demonstrated the good and complete aerob...

The present work aims to evaluate filamentous bulking control in hybrid systems. For this study, four sequencing batch reactors (SBR) fed with acetate were operated without (SBR1) and with support for biofilm growth [5 % (SBR2), 10 % (SBR3) and 20 % (SBR4) of the reactor volume]. The results demonstrated an overabundance of a filamentous fungi-like microorganism in the SBR operating just with s...

agent technology is an emerging and promising research area in software technology, which increasingly contributes to the development of value-added information systems for large healthcare organizations due to its capability to automatically modify themselves in response to changes in their operating environment. multi agent system (mas) approach is the construction of a complex system as a se...
