The main aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of a modified sequencing batch reactor (MSBR) using fixed Kaldnes carriers fed with acclimated sludge for ammonium removal via simultaneous nitrification-denitrification (SND) in synthetic wastewater. The results exhibited a SND of 82.3% within a 450-minute cycle time which was higher than that of a SBR without carrier (69.83%). Nitrite...

a lab-scale sbr equipped with a flat sheet membrane in submerged configuration that is named msbr was used for the treatment of composting leachate. it was fed by biologically treated leachate with overall 70-1360 mg/l chemical oxygen demand (cod). the values of ph, electrical conductivity (ec), and dissolved oxygen (do) were monitored routinely. however, analysis of total cod, soluble cod (sco...

The transmutation of transuranic (TRU) elements produced by pressurized water reactors (PWRs) can effectively reduce their radioactive hazards. molten chloride salt fast reactor (MCSFR) is a type liquid-fueled (MSR) using fuel in the form salts. MCSFR utilizing neutron spectrum and high actinide fraction considered to be potential for TRU transmutation. An online refueling reprocessing scenario...

In recent years, many studies have focused on the active materials of anodes to improve the performance of LIBs, while limited attention has been given to polymer binders, which act as inactive ingredients. However, polymer binders have amazing influence on the electrochemical performance of anodes. Herein, to investigate the binding performance between MCMB artificial graphite and the copper c...

A lab-scale SBR equipped with a flat sheet membrane in submerged configuration that is named MSBR was used for the treatment of composting leachate. It was fed by biologically treated leachate with overall 70-1360 mg/L Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD). The values of pH, Electrical Conductivity (EC), and Dissolved Oxygen (DO) were monitored r...

Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is a program that has been shown to be beneficial for clinical and non-clinical populations. While much attention has been paid to participants' outcomes, little work has been published concerning processes underlying improvements. Herein, women who had finished medical treatment for breast cancer completed questionnaires pre- and post-MBSR and were int...

The clinical benefits of endocrine therapy for patients with hormonosensitive breast cancer are well established. For many years, 5 years of tamoxifen was the gold standard of adjuvant treatment. The recent development of new endocrine agents provides physicians with a more effective therapeutic approach. Nevertheless, the success of neoadjuvant endocrine therapy is much more recent and less re...

Molten-salt breeder reactors (MSBR's) are being developed by the Oak Ridge National Laboratory for generating low-cost power while extending the nation's resources of fissionable fuel. The fluid fuel in these reactors, consisting of UF4 and ThF4 dissolved in fluorides of beryllium and lithium, is circulated through a reactor core moderated by graphite. Technology developments over the past 20 y...

In  this  research,  biological  removal  of  phenol  and  orthonitrophenol  (2NP)  pollutants  from wastewater  by  continuous  moving  bed  sequencing  batch  reactor  (MSBR)  was  studied.  The experiments were conducted in various operational conditions to find out the optimum level of the significant  parameters.  Best  performance  for  removal  of  Phenols  was  achieved  when  parameter...
