AIMS To determine whether in Trichuris trichiura dysentery there is (1) evidence of a systemic inflammatory response, (2) evidence that the plasma protein disturbance has special characteristics compared with uninfected children in the endemic environment. METHODS Three groups of children (age 1.6 to 11.4 years) were studied: 53 cases of trichuris dysentery syndrome (TDS), 16 cases of chronic...

The Beshar River is one of the most important aquatic ecosystems in the upstream of the Karun watershed in south of Iran which is affected by point and non point pollutant sources . This study was done in order to evaluate the effects of pollutants activities on the water quality of the Beshar river and its aquatic ecosystems. This river is approximately 190 km in length and situated at the geo...

Most of the slaughterhouses in the state of Kerala (India) do not have proper and effective effluent treatment facilities. Collection of blood and separation of manure to reduce the very high organic load of the effluent are also not practiced. As a result, large volumes of extremely complex effluents with high content of fat, grease, and protein are discharged into land or water bodies causing...

Sungai Surabaya sebagai sumber daya air mempunyai fungsi sosial ekonomi dan budaya yang sangat vital karena digunakan bahan baku minum, industri, maupun pertanian. Penurunan kualitas sungai diwarnai oleh emisi limbah pada inlet sungai, baik pertanian domestik, mengakibatkan penurunan kemampuan self purification sungai. Tujuan dalam penelitian ini adalah peningkatan mutu dengan metode perlakuan ...

Elevated levels of total dissolved solids (TDS) have been identified as stressors to aquatic life in Central Appalachian coalfield streams. At present there are no aquatic life water quality criteria for TDS in the primary coal-producing Central Appalachian states (KY, VA, WV). In all three states, mining-related impacts on aquatic life have been characterized using measures of benthic macroinv...

Abstract The ablution ritual performed by Muslims before praying requires large amounts of clean water (3.9 L - 4.42 L/person). This is a challenge that needs to be addressed, as in some places, scarce commodity. study aims treat wastewater at Masjid Al-Bukhari UIN Raden Mas Said Surakarta using electrocoagulation. treated expected reused for rituals the mosque. Laboratory-scale research method...

Abstract:
 In many real-world applications, the data to be used in a control charting method are not crisp since they approximated due environmental uncertainties, these situations, fuzzy numbers and linguistic variables grab such uncertainties. That is why use of chart, which used, justified. As an exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) scheme usually detect small shifts, this paper ...

Recombinant proteins are widely used as biopharmaceuticals, but their production by mammalian cell culture is expensive. Hence, improvement of bioprocess productivity is greatly needed. A temperature downshift (TDS) from 37°C to 28-34°C is an effective strategy to expand the productive life period of cells and increase their productivity (qp). Here, TDS in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell cultu...

The paper presents a multiparameter aquaculture water quality tester with decision support system. A device was developed to aid farmers in monitoring parameters and maintaining or achieving optimal levels by suggesting ways on how farmer can respond such measurements. AQUACISION measures six different parameters; temperature, practical salinity, pH level, total dissolved solid (TDS), oxidation...
