River debris is the main problem from negative impact of poor waste management. The composition river in Jakarta consists mostly plastic waste. Plastic has an opportunity for energy recovery. This study aimed to see potential utilizing recovery power plants. research was conducted at three sampling shelter points Pesing, Pluit, and Perintis. Waste generation were quantified using load count met...

Waste plastic, both industrial and municipal sources, is posing a major environmental challenges in developing countries such as India due to improper disposal methods. Large quantities of non-recyclable plastic waste get collected in paper recycling plants in Muzaffamagar and other regions in India. The plastic waste is typically in the form of protective covers, thin film, binding coils etc.,...

Peripheral nerve injuries result in loss of motor, sensory and autonomic functions of the denervated limb, but are also accompanied by positive symptoms, such as hyperreflexia, hyperalgesia and pain. Strategies to improve functional recovery after neural injuries have to address the enhancement of axonal regeneration and target reinnervation and also the modulation of the abnormal plasticity of...

Uricase from Candida species was immobilized covalently onto the inner wall of a plasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC/plastic) vial through glutraldehyde coupling with a 65.23% retention of its initial activity and a conjugation yield of 0.37 mg/cm(2). The vial-bound enzyme showed the optimum activity at pH 7.2, when incubated at 45°C for 5 min. There was a linear relationship between the immobi...

INTRODUCTION Fournier's gangrene is a poly-microbial necrotizing fasciitis that involves the perineum and/or external genitalia. Urgent surgical debridement is well recognized as essential acute treatment yet unique challenges arise for plastic surgical reconstruction to obtain a complete functional recovery. This case describes a successful delayed pedicle flap repair based upon the anterior a...

A new computer based life cycle assessment model (EASEWASTE) was used to evaluate a municipal solid waste system with the purpose of identifying environmental benefits and disadvantages by anaerobic digestion of source-separated household waste and incineration. The most important processes that were included in the study are optical sorting and pre-treatment, anaerobic digestion with heat and ...

Following spinal cord injury (SCI) the adult central nervous system (CNS) has a limited but substantial capacity for repair and plastic reorganisation. The degree of reorganisation is determined by a number of factors such as the extent and location of the lesion, the remaining circuit activity within the CNS and the age at injury. However, even in the best cases this spontaneous reorganisation...

Stroke is associated with long-term functional deficits. Behavioral interventions are often effective in promoting functional recovery and plastic changes. Recent studies in normal subjects have shown that sleep, and particularly slow wave activity (SWA), is tied to local brain plasticity and may be used as a sensitive marker of local cortical reorganization after stroke. In a pilot study, we a...

A positively controlled, randomised controlled trial (RCT) was undertaken to test recovery of cows with claw horn lesions resulting in lameness of greater than two weeks duration. Cows on seven commercial farms were mobility scored fortnightly and selected by lameness severity and chronicity. Study cows all received a therapeutic trim then random allocation of: no further treatment (trim only (...

INTRODUCTION Retrievable plastic biliary stents are usually inserted endoscopically. When endoscopic placement fails, radiological percutaneous transhepatic placement is indicated. We report the occurrence of a case of delayed duodenal perforation with abscess formation after radiological placement of a plastic stent. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of this complication a...
