Desulfovibrio hydrothermalis AM13T is a piezophilic, mesophilic, hydrogenotrophic sulfate-reducing bacterium collected from a deep-sea hydrothermal chimney on the East Pacific Rise (2,600 m depth, 13°N). We report the genome sequence of this bacterium, which includes a 3,702,934-bp chromosome and a circular plasmid of 5,328 bp.

Here, we present the draft genome sequence of Defluviimonas indica 20V17(T), which was isolated from a deep-sea hydrothermal vent chimney sample in the southwest Indian Ocean. The draft genome sequence contains 4,268,338 bp, with a G+C content of 66.33%.

The geological, biological and geochemical features of a particular field of hydrothermal vents, discovered in the Panarea Volcanic Complex during a research survey carried out in 2015, are described for the first time. The site, located at 70-80 m depth off the South-western coast of the islet of Basiluzzo, was named Smoking Land for the presence of a large number of wide and high active chimn...

The aim of this study was to determine the eff ect of 7-nitroindazole (7-NI – a preferential neuronal nitric oxide synthase inhibitor) on the protective action of oxcarbazepine (OXC) and vigabatrin (VGB) – two newer antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) against pentylenetetrazole (PTZ)-induced seizures in mice. The clonic seizure activity in mice was evoked by subcutaneous injection of PTZ (100 mg/kg) and...

W hen most people think about the adult fi lm industry it's likely that few have in mind the rights of workers within this industry. A paper in this month's issue of PLoS Medicine [1], however, takes just that point of view and concludes that the time has come for this highly profi table industry to self-regulate, and specifi cally to address the issue of the health of its workers. The workers ...

The roof solar chimney (RSC) is a low cost passive ventilation technique for reducing the energy consumption for cooling buildings. This study examines the performance and level of energy savings by simulating a detached home in four climates with RSC, cross-ventilation, and standard ventilation strategies. Each case was simulated in ESP-r for baseline and high efficiency construction, detached...

The moderately thermophilic bacterium Clostridium tepidiprofundi is Gram-positive and belongs to clostridial cluster I. It was isolated from a hydrothermal vent chimney. Substrates utilized by C. tepidiprofundi include casein, peptone, tryptone, yeast extract, beef extract, starch, maltose, and glucose. The genome consists of one replicon (3.06 Mb).

The current financial and economic programme in the Russian Federation is aimed at increasing energy efficiency all areas of society. most effective way boiler plant operation to improve technology deep heat recovery from heated flue gas chimney system hot-water boilers. physical essence this phenomenon consists cooling escaping high-temperature combustion products gaseous fuel, through contact...

Solar chimneys are devices that use solar energy to generate a hot airflow can be used for power production, the drying of agricultural products, and/or water desalination. The performance small-scale chimney is studied numerically. computational domain includes chimney, ground, and atmosphere. turbulent simulated using commercial CFD code Ansys Fluent. only boundary conditions required simulat...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE RESPIRE, a randomized trial of an improved cookstove, was conducted in Guatemala to assess health effects of long-term reductions in wood smoke exposure. Given the evidence that ambient particles increase blood pressure, we hypothesized that the intervention would lower blood pressure. METHODS TWO STUDY DESIGNS WERE USED: a) between-group comparisons based on randomiz...
