it is essential to consider wastewater (sewage) treatment, water reuse, and resource recovery in an integrated manner to maximize benefits in managing the water-energy nexus11in sanitation. Broad areas to consider include “energy and water efficiency” as well as “energy and nutrient resource...
In recent years, efforts have been made to understand the pathophysiology of ischemic stroke, including cellular excitotoxicity, oxidative stress, cell death processes, and neuroinflammation. In the meantime, a plethora of signaling pathways, either detrimental or neuroprotective, are also highly involved...
2.2.1. Experimental subjects and housing Specific-pathogen-free (SPF) level inbred male BALB/c mice aged 6–8 weeks old and weighing 20 ± 2 g were used in this study that was approved by the Animal Care and Research Ethics Committee of Dalian Medical University (Approval Number:...
After housing overnight in their home cage with the optical fiber attached, mice were placed in a 20 x 20 cm enclosure with bedding, 170 cm below the infrared (IR) camera (T650sc, FLIR Systems, Wilsonville, OR), and acclimated for 3 h. Mice then underwent 3 cycles of 20 min baseline...
Climate change (particularly the effect on bushfire vulnerability), diversity in the local economy, and a shortage of housing were identified as major aspects of local sustainability by stakeholders which were already represented in our narratives. Expert feedback also highlighted an overemphasis on int...
HOUSING stabilitySocial integration (i.e., reciprocal interactions with peers and community members) is a notable challenge for many homeless-experienced adults with serious mental illness (SMI). In this study, we examine a range of housing services offered to homeless-experienced adults with SMI ...
Housing and diet Eight to ten week-old male C57BL/6 N mice from Vital River Laboratories, China (or FAM19A4 and ANGPTL8) or Jackson Laboratories, USA (for NRG4) were used for gene overexpression studies. Mice were housed under conditions of 12 h light/dark cycle, controlled temperatu...
Mice used in this study were housed in a room with a 12-h light/12-h dark cycle with ad libitum access to standard rodent chow and water. Mouse housing was done in an air-controlled ith mice housed up to five per cage. All procedures involving mice were approved by the Institutional ...
Sprague-Dawley (SD) male rats at 7 weeks of age were pur- chased from the Shanghai Experimental Animal Center, Chi- nese Academy of Sciences, and acclimated to the IVC housing conditions for 2 d before any experimental intervention. Rats were accommodated under standard conditions (strict 12 ...
The mice were allowed to consume food and water ad libitum and were habituated to the housing facilities for 1 week before the experiments. All experimental procedures were reviewed and approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) of Kyung Hee University (KHUASP(SE)-18-...
