Factors Affecting Bacterial Growth Constants

Factors affecting bacterial growth in drinking water distribution system.

OBJECTIVE To define the influence of some parameters, including assimilable organic carbon (AOC), chloramine residual, etc. on the bacterial growth in drinking water distribution systems. METHODS Three typical water treatment plants in a northern city (City T) of China and their corresponding distribution systems were investigated. Some parameters of the water samples, such as heterotrophic p...

Factors affecting bone growth.

Bone growth and development are products of the complex interactions of genetic and environmental factors. Longitudinal bone growth depends on the growth plate. The growth plate has 5 different zones-each with a different functional role-and is the final target organ for longitudinal growth. Bone length is affected by several systemic, local, and mechanical factors. All these regulation systems...

Factors Affecting Bacterial Propagation towards Tumor Microenvironments

Drug delivery systems (DDS) directly affect the effectiveness of a drug’s pharmacokinetics, absorption, metabolism, duration of effect and toxicity [1]. DDS can be broadly classified into passive and active targeting. Passive targeting is solely dependent on Enhanced Permeability and Retention (EPR) effect [2,3] Active targeting on the other hand can be of two types; (i) homing to disease sites...

Genetic Factors Affecting Facial Growth

Factors affecting growth of FEV1.

There is an increasing awareness that also growth in FEV1 may be of importance to development of chronic obstructive lung disease in later life. This paper reviews current knowledge on factors in foetal and childhood life that may reduce lung growth. Passive smoking as well as malnutrition in foetal life is related to impaired lung function in later life. Birth weight is a risk factor to lung g...
