Palmitic acid was the main long chain fatty acids (LCFA) that accumulated onto the anaerobic sludge when oleic acid was fed to an EGSB reactor. The conversion between oleic and palmitic acid was linked to the biological activity. When palmitic acid was fed to an EGSB reactor it represented also the main LCFA that accumulated onto the sludge. The way of palmitic acid accumulation was different i...

Activity patterns of projection neurons in the putamen were investigated in behaving monkeys. Stimulating electrodes were implanted chronically into the proximal (MI(proximal)) and distal (MI(distal)) forelimb regions of the primary motor cortex (MI) and the forelimb region of the supplementary motor area (SMA). Cortical inputs to putaminal neurons were identified by excitatory orthodromic resp...

Coal-bearing sediments are major reservoirs of organic matter potentially available for methanogenic subsurface microbial communities. In this study the specific microbial community inside lignite-bearing sedimentary basin in Germany and its contribution to methanogenic hydrocarbon degradation processes was investigated. The stable isotope signature of methane measured in groundwater and coal-r...

Clower, William T. and Garrett E. Alexander. Movement semovements precede, or follow, X . Here we present evidence quence-related activity reflecting numerical order of components that the numerical order of specific components may also in supplementary and presupplementary motor areas. J. Neurobe represented by movement sequence-related activity of physiol. 80: 1562–1566, 1998. The supplementa...

Tetracycline antibiotic wastewater with high chemical oxygen demand (COD) concentration and containing bio-refractory compounds was investigated in a lab-scale up-flow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) anoxic-oxic (A/O) reactor. Specific methanogenic activity (SMA) determined to reveal the inhibition levels of methane production volatile fatty acid (VFA) accumulation. The results showed that micr...

Model-derived equilibrium line altitudes (ELAs) of former tropical glaciers support arguments, based on other paleoclimate data, for both the magnitude and spatial pattern of terrestrial cooling in the tropics at the last glacial maximum (LGM). Relative to the present, LGM ELAs were maintained by air temperatures that were 3.5 degrees to 6.6 degrees C lower and precipitation that ranged from 63...

Over 99% of dimethyl phthalate (DMP) and 93% of chemical oxygen demand (COD) were effectively removed in a continuous upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor from a wastewater containing 600 mg/L DMP at 8h of hydraulic retention time (HRT), corresponding to a loading rate of 3g-COD/(Ld). Each gram of sludge, expressed as volatile suspended solids (VSS), had a maximum specific methanogeni...
