Case Description- Three domestic short haired cats (2, 5 and 4 years of age) were presented to the Madras Veterinary College Teaching Hospital, with the history of large chronic, full thickness wounds on the right lateral cervical, left caudal forearm and right lateral thoracic region respectively. Etiology of the wounds was trauma in two cases and thermal burns in the third ca...

Sulfur-based autotrophic denitrification processes utilize autotrophic denitrifiers, such as Thiobacillus denitrificans and Thiomicrospira denitrificans, to reduce nitrate to nitrogen gas. Bench-scale experiments were conducted to evaluate the sulfur-based autotrophic denitrification process. This paper addresses three issues: (1) start-up and operation of a CSTR to provide an adequate seed sou...

For overcoming the long period of seed cultured photoautotrophically and inadequate cell supply for the inoculation of microalgae photoautotrophic cultivation, a model for the photoautotrophic culture of three Chlorella species with heterotrophic cells as seed was investigated. The model can not only take advantages of rapid cell growth in heterotrophic process for preparation of cells as seed ...

The P-RoC process – the phosphorus recovery straight from the aqueous phase by crystallisation of calcium phosphate – was developed in order to simultaneously remove and recover phosphorus from municipal wasteand industrial process waters by applying calcium silicate hydrate (CSH) compounds or synthesised tobermorite pellets as crystallisation seed materials. At first, the experiments were perf...

Every year, the production of coal-bed natural gas in the Powder River Basin results in the discharge of large amounts of coal-bed methane water (CBMW) in Wyoming; however, no sustainable disposal methods for CBMW are currently available. A greenhouse study was conducted to evaluate the potential to use CBMW as a source of irrigation water for camelina [ (L.) Crantz]. We assessed the effects of...

Seed shape and size are among the most important agronomic traits because they affect yield and market price. To obtain accurate seed size data, a large number of measurements are needed because there is little difference in size among seeds from one plant. To promote genetic analysis and selection for seed shape in plant breeding, efficient, reliable, high-throughput seed phenotyping methods a...

Introduction The grass pea (Lathyrus sativus L.) cultivated in Chile has a large, mostly clear white, grain. It is valued by European communities as the basis for the preparation of traditional dishes. Small Chilean farmers are exporting grass pea to these markets, which pay higher prices for larger seed. However, the size of the grain currently being produced is quite heterogeneous, and the ex...

PURPOSE To provide an overview of moisture management and its importance in wound care. TARGET AUDIENCE This continuing education activity is intended for physicians and nurses with an interest in skin and wound care. OBJECTIVES After participating in this educational activity, the participant should be better able to:1. Summarize causes and treatments for moisture balance issues of chronic...
