The effect of ammonia pretreatment on the anaerobic digestion performance of rice straw was investigated. The rice straw was pretreated with four different moisture contents (30%, 50%, 70%, and 90%) and three concentrations of ammonia (2%, 4%, and 6%). The results showed that the anaerobic digestion achieved best performance for the rice straw pretreated by ammonia concentration of 4% and moist...

The validity of the Running-based Anaerobic Sprint Test (RAST) was investigated to evaluate the anaerobic power performance in comparison to Wingate test in cycling athletes. Ten mountain-bike male cyclists (28.0±7.3 years) randomly performed Wingate Test and RAST with two trials each. After several anthropometric measurements, peak power (PP), mean power (MP) and fatigue index (FI) for RAST an...

As it is currently often not know how anaerobic bioreactors, e.g. for biogas production, react if the substrate is contaminated by toxic compounds like antibiotics. This study evaluated how anaerobic sequencing batch reactors were affected by amendments of different antibiotics and stepwise increasing concentrations. The compositions of microbial community were determined in the seed sludge usi...

The purpose of this study was to compare performance factors of youth soccer players according to position. A total of 101 high school soccer players were selected and were classified into goalkeeper (n=7), defense (n=37), midfield (n=39), and forward (n=18) positions. All subjects were subjected to the Wingate test for anaerobic capacity, shuttle run test for aerobic capacity, and pass, kick, ...

Due to its structure, hexamethylenetetramine (HMT) is a slowly biodegradable substance, hydrolysing in acid environment to ammonium and formaldehyde. Formaldehyde is toxic under normal conditions for biological treatment processes. Following an adaptation, a formaldehyde concentration of 1000 mg·l may become biodegradable both in aerobic and anaerobic conditions. Acidic conditions for hydrolysi...

The development of WWTP in business activities needs to pay attention getting appropriate that is more valuable support sustainable development. This study aims evaluate two systems integrated biological WWTP; anaerobic-wetland, and anaerobic-aerobic-wetland, including the effectiveness pollutant removal, operational maintenance, estimation carbon emissions. performance removal was evaluated by...

Background Previous studies have indicated that ingestion of nitric oxide (NO) supplements prior to exercise may potentially enhance anaerobic performance. Collectively, NO products are marketed to increase energy, strength, stamina and endurance during anaerobic exercise. However, delivery modes and formula combinations of NO supplements differ in regards to other nutrients included (i.e., cre...

anaerobic bacteria are well known causes of sepsis in adults but there are few studies regarding their role in neonatal sepsis. in an attempt to define the incidence of neonatal anaerobic infections a prospective study was performed during one year period. a total number of 400 neonates under sepsis study were entered this investigation. anaerobic as well as aerobic cultures were sent. the pati...
