[86]. These reactors present similar features to their aerobic counterparts, i.e., activated sludge systems. Due to the fluid pattern of the reactor, inefficient mixing conditions that may reduce treatment capacity caused by heterogeneity within the biomass can be avoided[86]. Two main components...
It requires a medium for reaction, which can be gas or supercritical water (not to be confused with ordinary water at subcritical condition). Gaseous mediums include air, oxygen, subcritical steam, or a mixture of these. Presently, gasification of fossil fuels is more common than that of non...
The urgent need for developing ISRU to produce food, medicine, and oxygen to sustain humans on a long-term mission imposes critical ECLSS (Environmental Control and Life Support System) feasibility constraints64. Notably, one of the key objectives of DRA 5.0 emphasizes that the Mars Human Habitab...
The circular economy is recognized by the European Union (EU) as an “irreversible, global megatrend” (Friant et al. 2020) based on the idea of the transformation of the industrial production to a sustainable, low-carbon and resource-efficient one. This transformation requires the transition and...
The concern of transmission via water is enormous in a country like India, where currently 17.7% of the total human population on earth lives and millions are still deprived from access to clean drinking water. In addition to that, open defecation (OD) is one of the major issues that have...
Reprogramming lipid metabolism is considered a fundamental step in tumourigenesis that influences ferroptosis. However, molecular mechanisms between lipid metabolism and ferroptosis remain largely unknown. Results from the drug screening of 464 inhibitor
The combination of improved oxygen delivery to the muscle and the related mitochondrial capacity is very important as too much oxygen could induce oxidative stress by overloading the mitochondrial respiration system. Exhaustive aerobic exercise has recently been shown to attenuate maximal skeletal muscle ...
The use of oxidation–reduction potential (redox potential; ORP) may provide highly accurate DO predictions without the need for multiple WQ datasets, because ORP is a parameter representing DO-related thermodynamic reactions in aqueous environments, such as the aerobic/anaerobic respiration by microorgan...
As an aside, all I want from a keynote speaker is someone who can allow me to laugh, allow me to cry, and give me one actionable thing to do in the future. It is no small feat. Kevin did all that and more. His story is amazing and I can’t wait to get him on the Shapes ...
strongly influence microbial assemblages and ecosystem functions. Aquifer productivity, which can be measured by rates of heterotrophic metabolism and aerobic respiration and determined by CO2and CH4generation and the depletion of dissolved oxygen (Baker et al., 2000) is a valuable indicator of ecosystem...
