Effect of sulfate on low-temperature anaerobic digestion
(Frontiers Media, 2014-07-24)
The effect of sulfate addition on the stability of, and microbial community behavior in, low-temperature anaerobic expanded granular sludge bed-based bioreactors was investigated at 15 degrees C. Efficient bioreactor ...
Antibacterial potential of an antimicrobial agent inspired by peroxidase-catalyzed systems
(Frontiers Media, 2017-05-02)
Antibiotic resistance is an increasingly serious threat to global health. Consequently, the development of non-antibiotic based therapies and disinfectants, which avoid induction of resistance, or cross-resistance, is of ...
Linking microbial community structure and function during the acidified anaerobic digestion of grass
(Frontiers Media, 2018-03-21)
Harvesting valuable bioproducts from various renewable feedstocks is necessary for the critical development of a sustainable bioeconomy. Anaerobic digestion is a well-established technology for the conversion of wastewater ...
Agricultural anaerobic digestion power plants in Ireland and Germany: policy and practice
(Wiley, 2016-08-24)
The process of anaerobic digestion (AD) is valued as a carbon-neutral energy source, while simultaneously treating organic waste, making it safer for disposal or use as a fertilizer on agricultural land. The AD process in ...
Metal-based glycoconjugates and their potential in targeted anticancer chemotherapy
(De Gruyter Open, 2016-04-07)
Glucose is a key source of energy and an essential
nutrient for cell growth. Rapidly dividing cancer cells are
well-known to require more nutrients and energy than
normal ones to sustain their higher proliferation ...
Impact of trichloroethylene exposure on the microbial diversity and protein expression in anaerobic granular biomass at 37°C and 15°C
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2012-09-14)
Granular biomass from a laboratory-scale anaerobic bioreactor trial was analysed to identify changes in microbial community structure and function in response to temperature and trichloroethylene (TCE). Two bioreactors ...
Effects of nerve bundle geometry on neurotrauma evaluation
(Wiley, 2018-06-16)
ObjectiveWe confirm that alteration of a neuron structure can induce abnormalities in signal propagation for nervous systems, as observed in brain damage. Here, we investigate the effects of geometrical changes and damage ...
Fine tuning the electro-mechanical response of dielectric elastomers
(AIP Publishing, 2018-10-16)
We propose a protocol to model accurately the electromechanical behavior of dielectric elastomer membranes using experimental data of stress-stretch and voltage-stretch tests. We show how the relationship between electric ...
An experimental, theoretical, and modeling study of the ignition behavior of cyclopentanone
(Elsevier, 2018-07-05)
The ignition delay times of cyclopentanone in air were measured using a high pressure shock tube (HPST) and a rapid compression machine (RCM) over the temperature range of 794-1368 K at P = 15 and 30 bar and at equivalence ...
Global and local tests to assess stationarity of Markov transition models
(Taylor & Francis, 2018-02-09)
We present global and local likelihood-based tests to evaluate stationarity in transition models. Three motivational studies are considered. A simulation study was carried out to assess the performance of the proposed ...
