Combustion in fluidised bed boilers is one of the most commonly used methods treatment municipal sewage sludge. Fly ash (FA) and air pollution control (APC) residues are solid by-products generated by flue gas treatment. There significant differences chemical composition these wastes. FA composed mainly SiO2, P2O5, CaO metals such as Zn, Ti, Cu, Cr, Pb Ni. APC contain SO3 Na2O. The leachability...

To address the molecular diversity and occurrence of pathogenic species of the genus Entamoeba spp. in wild non-human primates (NHP) we conducted molecular-phylogenetic analyses on Entamoeba from wild chimpanzees living in the Issa Valley, Tanzania. We compared the sensitivity of molecular [using a genus-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR)] and coproscopic detection (merthiolate-iodine-for...

BACKGROUND The large individual variability in response to drugs for smoking cessation suggests that specific treatments can be more effective in particular subgroups of smokers. In the context of personalized medicine, the main aim of the present study was to evaluate whether the CHRNA4 and CHRNB2 polymorphisms are associated with response to smoking cessation therapies in patients from a smok...

In this article, glaze with different colorants was applied to tile specimens manufactured by incinerated sewage sludge ash (ISSA) and clay. Improvements using different amounts of colorants, and glaze components and concentrations on tile bodies were investigated. Four different proportions of clay (by weight ratio) were replaced by ISSA. Tiles of size 12 cm x 6 cm x 1 cm were made and left in...

Methylation of the proximal promoter of the c-ABL oncogene is a specific epigenetic alteration associated with progression of chronic phase chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) to accelerated and blastic phases.1-6 A recent report by Issa et al6 published in Blood concludes that c-ABL methylation ‘‘is associated with disease progression’’ but ‘‘lacks prognostic significance.’’ Our previous work i...

Scientific and effective teaching quality evaluation (QE) is helpful to improve mode quality. At present, calligraphy (CT) QE methods are few in number have poor effect. Aiming at these problems, deep learning (DL) introduced realize intelligent of CT First, based on relevant research, the CTQE indicator system constructed. Secondly, rough set principal component analysis (PCA) used reduce dime...

Detailed knowledge of the tissue specificity of gene expression is of central importance not only for our understanding of developmental processes during wood formation, but also is a prerequisite for the deliberate manipulation of xylogenesis candidate genes. Today, much of our knowledge about specific gene expression is based on annual model plants in part because perennial tree systems are o...

Data on chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) nesting patterns were collected in Issa, Ugalla, western Tanzania. Ugalla is one of the driest, most open, and seasonal habitats inhabited by chimpanzees. We investigated the physical characteristics of nests and trees used for nesting to understand environmental influences on nest building and identify the characteristics preferred by the chimpanzees and th...
