The objective of this study was to explore the extent of mineralization of Biodigester Effluent (BDE) by Electrochemical Treatment using aluminum electrodes in monopolar configuration. The benefit of determining a COD/TOC ratio is becoming evident. While both parameters are useful independently, the ratio of the two values, and the fluctuation of this ratio, is an excellent indicator of the org...

Hematopoiesis is fully dependent on hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) that possess the capacity to self-renew and differentiate into all blood cell lineages. WASH, Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein (WASP) and SCAR homologue (WASH) is involved in endosomal sorting as an actin-nucleating protein. Here, we show that conditional WASH deletion in the hematopoietic system causes defective blood producti...

We present a leptogenesis mechanism based on the standard type-I seesaw model that successfully operates at right-handed-neutrino masses as low few 100 TeV. This mechanism, which we dub "wash-in leptogenesis", does not require any CP violation in neutrino sector and can be implemented even regime of strong wash-out. The key idea behind wash-in is to generalize freeze-out nonminimal cosmological...

Cultivation of some top vegetables was made by irrigation with distillery spent wash of different proportions. The spent wash i.e., primary treated spent wash (PTSW), 50% and 33% spent wash were analyzed for its plant nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium and other physical and chemical parameters. Experimental soil was tested for its chemical and physical parameters. Top vegetable...

Hardwood KP bleaching effluents, before (influent) and after (effluent) biological treatment, were characterized and compared to identify the main bio-recalcitrant organic compounds in the effluent. The results indicate that biological treatment reduces CODcr and BOD5 by 67% and 88%, respectively. However, various bio-recalcitrant organic compounds were still retained in the biologically-treate...

Introduction: In oxygen-enhanced MRI (O2-MRI) of the lung, the inhalation of pure oxygen (O2) decreases the longitudinal relaxation time, T1, of blood, which can be detected by T1-weighted MRI [1–9]. Frequently, a block paradigm is used for O2-MRI consisting of a series of T1-weighted scans acquired during alternating blocks with inhalation of room air and O2. This block design results in a sig...
