In the lens the biological energy necessary for the maintenance of transparency, synthesis, and repair is supplied primarily by the reactions that metabolize glucose to lactic acid. The low levels of the enzymes associated with the aerobic oxidation of glucose restrict the lens metabolism mainly to anaerobic glycolysis. Even in the epithelium, anaerobic glycolysis appears Jo be the principal so...

The IWA Anaerobic Digestion Modelling Task Group was established in 1997 at the 8th World Congress on Anaerobic Digestion (Sendai, Japan) with the goal of developing a generalised anaerobic digestion model. The structured model includes multiple steps describing biochemical as well as physicochemical processes. The biochemical steps include disintegration from homogeneous particulates to carboh...

Improving anaerobic performance and anaerobic power is the critical aspect on successfully in competitions for many athletes. The purpose of current research was to investigating the effect of various pre-competitions warm-up on anaerobic performance. It has been shown that, differences pre-competitions activity may effect on anaerobic and explosive performance. Effect of general warm-up, witho...

Thermophilic bacteria have recently attracted great attention because of their potential application in improving different biochemical processes such as anaerobic digestion of various substrates, wastewater treatment or hydrogen production. In this study we report on the design of a specific 16S rRNA-targeted oligonucleotide probe for detecting members of Coprothermobacter genus characterized ...

This paper deals with the equilibria and stability analysis of the two step anaerobic model initially proposed by[12] to describe the dynamical behavior of an anaerobic fixed-bed wastewater treatment process. In a first part, the model is analyzed: its equilibria and their stability are established considering qualitative properties of the kinetics. In a second part, it is shown that the overlo...

Key microbiological conversion processes do not result from the work of a single bacterial species but are performed by a wide variety of bacteria. Up till now, this microbial diversity is usually not tracked during reactor operation and mostly neglected in mathematical models. Nevertheless, experimental evidence is available that different process conditions may favor the selection of differen...
