Rickets has been produced experimentally in rabbits by the administration of diets deficient in the antirachitic organic factor and phosphorus but with a high calcium content. Cod liver oil added to these rickets-producing diets prevented the development of rickets in rabbits.

the automobile industry’s wastewater not only contains high levels of suspended and total solids such as oil, grease, dyestuff, chromium, phosphate in washing products, and coloring, at various stages of chassis manufacturing but also, a significant amount of dissolved organics,resulting in high bod or cod loads. suspended solids can be removed from the wastewater by chemical precipitation. h...

In a multi-user environment, multiple queries coexist together in the system. Furthec we observe that these queries usually share common sub-queries or reference coninion relations. By using cached results from earlier queries, better performance as well as faster evaluation of subsequent queries can be achieved. One promising concept that has been recently proposed is the Cache-onDemand (COD) ...

BACKGROUND The aims of this study were to establish the incidence of cystic ovarian disease (COD) and its geographical and seasonal variation in Norway, investigate the effect of COD on culling rates, and describe the effects of COD on subsequent reproductive performance and its association to twins. METHODS Diagnosis of COD was made by veterinary surgeons in the field. Four statistical model...

Wastewater from cork processing industry present high levels of organic and phenolic compounds, such as tannins, with a low biodegradability and a significant toxicity. These compounds are not readily removed by conventional municipal wastewater treatment, which is largely based on primary sedimentation followed by biological treatment. The purpose of this work is to study the biodegradability ...

Industries produce millions of cubic meters of effluent every year and the wastewater produced may be released into the surrounding water bodies, treated on-site or at municipal treatment plants. The determination of organic matter in the wastewater generated is very important to avoid any negative effect on the aquatic ecosystem. The scope of the present work is to assess the physicochemical c...

This work investigated the pilot scale production of short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) from sewage sludge through alkaline fermentation and the subsequent membrane filtration. Furthermore, the impact of the fermentation liquid on nutrient bioremoval was examined. The addition of wollastonite in the fermenter to buffer the pH affected the composition of the carbon source produced during fermentati...
