A recirculating aquaculture system was developed to hold native fishes for experimental pumping trails at the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation’s Tracy Fish Collection Facility (TFCF), Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, California. The TFCF operates to prevent the entrainment of juvenile and adult fishes, including endangered species, into the Delta Mendota Canal. TFCF uses louvers to direct into the colle...

Oxide scale formation during short-term annealing and electrolytic pickling behavior of ferritic EN 1.4622 austenitic 1.4828 stainless steels are investigated. The is performed at temperatures between 1000 1100 °C for 1200 steel grade under humid atmospheres in simulated industrial process. Neutral pickling, also referred to as neutral electrochemical or the Ruthner Neolyte Process, Na2SO4 elec...

Heat exchangers are widely used in power engineering and industrial applications, many techniques such as coiled tube, surface tension devices, rough surfaces, extended surfaces have been investigated to enhancethermal performance and to minimize the cost and size of the heat exchanger equipment. One of the most important techniques is tube insert. In general,tube inserts can be classified into...

BACKGROUND Biofilms are composed of communities of micro-organisms adhering to essentially any surface. We evaluated whether biofilm formation in the hydraulic circuit of a purposely contaminated haemodialysis monitor would modify the efficacy of different disinfection modalities against bacteria and endotoxin concentrations. METHODS A water-borne Pseudomonas aeruginosa (109) suspension was r...

INTRODUCTION Psoriasis is a common chronic disease with significant impairment in quality of life. As there is no cure, it often requires lifelong disease control to minimize the development of skin lesions and to relieve symptoms. The aim of this publication is to systematically review the role of currently used emollients and keratolytics in the treatment of psoriasis. METHODS A systematic ...

Abstract The efficiency and longevity of components in geothermal plants are significantly reduced by mineral deposition pipes, also known as scaling [1]. A number methods used to monitor fouling (a broader term for all types organic inorganic deposition) other industries, such the oil, gas food industries. These include direct indirect, offline, in-situ online, well inline methods, each which ...
