the aim of this study was to determine the feasibility of coupling an electrochemical process with a biological treatment in order to degrade phosmet, an organophosphorous pesticide. the absence of biodegradability of phosmet by pseudomonas fluorescens and activated sludge was verified in our operational conditions. so, a conventional biological treatment is not appropriate for phosmet polluted...

pentachlorophenol (pcp) is a very hazardous compound which enters into the environment byindustries such as refineries and petrochemicals. as its biological degradation is very slow, this usemay cause the pollution of soils and groundwater; with the recent emergence of pentachlorophenolcontamination as an important drinking water quality issue, finding an easy, economical, and usefulmethod to r...

BACKGROUND The traditional approach to studying complex biological networks is based on the identification of interactions between internal components of signaling or metabolic pathways. By comparison, little is known about interactions between higher order biological systems, such as biological pathways and processes. We propose a methodology for gleaning patterns of interactions between biolo...

objective: to compare the knowledge and attitude regarding pubertal changes among pre – adolescent girls before and after the pubertal preparedness program (ppp) in experimental and comparison group. materials and methods: a quasi experimental (non- equivalent comparison group pretest posttest) design was adopted with 104pre-adolescentgirls (52 in each experimental and comparison group) of age ...
