The spherical tokamak (ST) regime of low-aspect-ratio (LAR) tokamak operation has provided an opportunity to consider a 1000-MWe(net) D /T power plant conceptual design, designated ARIES-ST. Physics attributes include high beta ( /50%) together with high bootstrap current contribution ( /95%). Neutral-beam current drive ( /28 MW) supports steady-state operation. The plasma aspect ratio was sele...

Climate change greatly influenced aquaculture in the Philippines and deteriorating water quality; effect, fish production reduced drastically. Thus, farmers researchers have been searching for innovative technologies to address these issues. One technology is biofloc systems. This uses a zero-water exchange accumulates microorganisms that serves as food source. In biofloc, quality management hi...

The thymus continuously produces T lymphocytes that contribute to the maintenance of the peripheral T cell pool. Since peripheral recirculating T cells represent a very minor population among total thymocytes in normal animals, the relationship between the thymus and secondary lymphoid organs is generally considered unidirectional. Recently, several reports have described the presence of recirc...

In this study the role of the thymus in the development of sessile T cell populations resident in spleen and lymph nodes (LN) was contrasted with the development of recirculating T cell populations trafficking between blood and lymph. Extensive analysis of the composition and the rate of growth of the secondary lymphoid tissues and recirculating lymphocyte pool coupled with neonatal thymectomy ...

Constructed wetland systems are used to reduce pollutants and pathogens in wastewater effluent, but comparatively little is known about pathogen transport through natural wetland habitats. Fecal protozoans, including Cryptosporidium parvum, Giardia lamblia, and Toxoplasma gondii, are waterborne pathogens of humans and animals, which are carried by surface waters from land-based sources into coa...

As a result of the high aggressiveness circulating water, there is problem corrosive destruction heat exchangers and reduction their working capacity at industrial enterprises both civil military purposes. The article deals with issue increasing anti-corrosion protection steel surfaces (St3 Steel 20) by introducing an effective environmentally safe corrosion inhibitor MG-CHDTU into water compos...

Over the past decade, the environmental impact of wastes discharged from high-density flow-through fish-production systems has been viewed with increasing concern. Recirculating aquaculture systems are gaining wider acceptance because of their ability to reduce waste discharges, improve quality control, and reduce costs. The crucial processes that must be addressed in treating recirculating wat...
