Abstract Currently, the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) for tofu industry in Ledok Kulon Village, Bojonegoro Regency uses an anaerobic-aerobic-anaerobic system. However, treated quality is still over maximum standard. To rectify this, objective of study was to technically improve WWTP so that could comply with required standards disposal into environment. This achieved without increasing capa...

Faith-based interventions hold promise for increasing physical activity (PA) and thereby reducing health disparities. This paper examines the perceived influences on PA participation, the link between spirituality and health behaviors and the role of the church in promoting PA in African Americans. Participants (n = 44) were adult members of African American churches in South Carolina. In prepa...

BACKGROUND This cross-sectional study examined the relationship between patients' aerobic fitness and general health perceptions and how they correspond with functional aerobic impairment (%FAI) and quality of life (QOL). METHODS One hundred and two patients were administered a version of the World Health Organization Quality of Life brief form questionnaire (WHOQOL-BREF). Then, each patient ...

[Purpose] This investigation evaluated the acute cardiovascular responses that occur while playing virtual games (aerobic and balance) emulated by Nintendo Wii(®). [Subjects] Nineteen healthy male volunteers were recruited. [Methods] The ergospirometric variables of maximum oxygen consumption, metabolic equivalents, and heart rate were obtained during the aerobic (Obstacle Course, Hula Hoop, an...

The aerobic actinomycetes are a large group of soil-inhabiting bacteria that occur worldwide. Some of them are the main cause of two important diseases, nocardiosis and actinomycetoma. To identify the prevalence and geographic distribution of aerobic actinomycetes in soil of Qazvin province, a study was carried out during 2006-2007. In this study, the incidence and diversity of medically import...

Digestion of municipal wastewater biosolids is a necessary prerequisite to their beneficial use in land application, in order to protect public health and the receiving environment. In this study, 13 pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs), 11 musks, and 17 polybrominated diphenyl ethers were analyzed in 84 samples including primary sludge, waste activated sludge, digested biosolids,...

A newly isolated denitrifying bacterium, Thauera sp. strain DNT-1, grew on toluene as the sole carbon and energy source under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions. When this strain was cultivated under oxygen-limiting conditions with nitrate, first toluene was degraded as oxygen was consumed, while later toluene was degraded as nitrate was reduced. Biochemical observations indicated that initi...

Metabolic processes that release energy within the myocardium can be separated into aerobic metabolism, i.e., chemical reactions consuming O2, and anaerobic metabolism, defined here as chemical reactions not consuming 2, even though 02 may be present in the environment. The total energy that is set free by both types of process appears partially as heat within the myocardium and partially as me...

Objective: This study aimed to observe curative effect of low load aerobic Yoga-based exercise in cotherapy with inhalation of air negative oxygen ions on occupational patient with cotton pneumoconiosis s. Methods: Select 60 female patients with occupational cotton pneumoconiosis aged between 30 and 50 and randomly divide them into an observation group and a control group with each group consis...

Salmonella enterica is a zoonotic pathogen of clinical and veterinary significance, with over 2500 serovars. In previous work we compared two serovars displaying host associations inferred from isolation statistics. Here, to validate genome sequence data and to expand on the role of environmental metabolite constitution in host range determination we use a phenotypic microarray approach to asse...
