Introduction Variations of the anatomy of the inferior vena cava (IVC) are quite common given the complex nature of the embryologic development of the venous system [1–3]. Cases of absent IVC [4], double IVC, transposition of IVC (also known as a left IVC) have all been documented [5]. Other well-founded variations are a persistent left IVC [1] and malformations associated with right renal apla...

Pilot composting experiments of swine manure with corncob were conducted to evaluate the performance of the aerated static bin composting system. Effects of temperature control (60 and 70 degrees C) and moisture content (70% and 80%) were monitored on the composting by measuring physical and chemical indexes. The results showed that (1) the composting system could destroy pathogens, converted n...

conclusions the produced compost in this study was mature and ready for use as an agricultural substrate or soil conditioner after 80 days of composting. results the results showed that the c/n ratio decreased during the composting process (reached to 15.6) due to the loss of carbon and the increase in nitrogen content per unit material; also, the nh4+/no3 ratio decreased with increase in the t...

Background: Leiomyosarcomas of inferior vena cava (IVC) are rare tumors that mostly are proposed as a primary malignancy of the IVC. The optimal treatment is completely resects the malignant lesion with preservation of venous return. According to the treated experience of one patient in our hospital, we present our opinions as below. Methods and Results: A 61-year-old woman underwent successful...

BACKGROUND Animal manure is a reservoir of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) that pose a potential health risk globally, especially for resistance to the antibiotics commonly used in livestock production (such as tetracycline, sulfonamide, and fluoroquinolone). Currently, the effects of biological treatment (composting) on the transcriptional response of manure ARGs and their microbial hosts a...

A primary concern with composting is the lack of knowledge about the fate of widely used pesticides. Also, there is increasing interest in the use of composting as a bioremediation method for soils contaminated with xenobiotics such as TNT, PCBs, chlorophenols and PAHs. We used a laboratory scale composting system to determine the extent of mineralization, incorporation into humic matter, and v...

Organic waste generation has been extending to an alarming level in most areas of the world, and its sustainable management is required. In Hungary, amount organic increasing significantly, especially pálinka manufacturing - a Hungarian hard liquor producing great quantity mash residue, mostly grape pomace spent wash, non-hazardous food that suspension left over by distillation fermented spirit...

We examined the relationship between microscopic hematuria and inferior vena cava (IVC) reflux. Transabdominal color Doppler ultrasonography of the IVC was performed in the supine position with the convex probe positioned perpendicular to the upper abdominal wall, and the extent of reflux into the IVC with each heart beat was examined near the diaphragm. A total of 171 patients were studied who...

Inter-Vehicle Communication (IVC) has become an extremely hot topic in network research, opening up new research challenges well beyond those of classical Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) research. In October 2010, a Dagstuhl seminar has been organized bringing together many of the internationally leading experts in this field to discuss open issues and challenges related to IVC. This article repo...

UNLABELLED Ammonia emissions were quantified for the laboratory-scale composting of three typical organic wastes with medium nitrogen content: organic fraction of municipal solid wastes, raw sludge and anaerobically digested sludge; and the composting of two wastes with high nitrogen content: animal by-products from slaughterhouses and partially hydrolysed hair from the leather industry. All th...
