aims: intensification of current environmental legislation leads to an increase wastewater treatment sludge volume. so reducing the sludge volume is considered as a strategy to improve and solve the problems of secondary pollution of sludge. dissolved air flotation (daf) as a substitute clarifier is used for separation of activated sludge liquid-solid phases. the aim of this study was to estima...

the study was undertaken with the objectives to: (1) study the present status of plastic waste management and the existing phnom penh household willingness and their influence factors to segregate plastics for recycling and reuse (plastics & non plastics); (2) study how other cities encouraged and obtained the participation of their population in plastics recycling and reuse and (3) recommend w...

Much of the material taken into cells by endocytosis is rapidly returned to the plasma membrane by the endocytic recycling pathway. Although recycling is vital for the correct localization of cell membrane receptors and lipids, the molecular mechanisms that regulate recycling are only partially understood. Here we show that in Caenorhabditis elegans endocytic recycling is inhibited by NUM-1A, t...

A global, comprehensive review of terms and definitions related to paper recycling was conducted in this article. Terms and definitions related to paper recycling have varied in the course of time. Different terms and different definitions for the same thing are being used in different geographical regions and by different organizations. Definitions are different based on varying conceptions of...

In normal human skin fibroblasts (HSFs), fluorescent glycosphingolipid analogues are endocytosed and sorted into two pools, one that is recycled to the plasma membrane and one that is transported to the Golgi complex. Here, we investigated glycosphingolipid recycling in Niemann-Pick type A and C lipid storage disease fibroblasts (NPFs). Cells were incubated with a fluorescent analogue of lactos...

T cell activation requires sustained signaling at the immune synapse, a specialized interface with the antigen-presenting cell (APC) that assembles following T cell antigen receptor (TCR) engagement by major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-bound peptide. Central to sustained signaling is the continuous recruitment of TCRs to the immune synapse. These TCRs are partly mobilized from an endosomal...

Kish Island is a popular tourist destination in Iran, and tourism plays an important role in its economy. The volume of waste produced in the island has increased given the construction of numerous industrial projects over the past decade, as well as an increase in the tourist population. This expansion signals a need to create new methods of waste disposal. Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA...

The usage of valuable resources and the generation of emissions during the life cycle of photovoltaic (PV) technologies dictate our proactive planning for a sound PV recycling infrastructure to ensure its sustainability. Some global PV manufacturers have begun recycling PV wastes generated from the PV manufacturing processes and the Endof-Life (EoL) PV modules. Therefore, it is vital to develop...

A balance between endocytosis and membrane recycling regulates the composition and dynamics of the plasma membrane. Internalization and recycling of cholesterol- and sphingolipid-enriched lipid rafts is an actin-dependent process that is mediated by a specialized Arf6-dependent recycling pathway. Here, we identify myosin1c (Myo1c) as the first motor protein that drives the formation of recyclin...
