background sewage sludge (biosolids) is a byproduct of wastewater treatment that accumulates in large quantities. effective stabilization and disinfection of sewage sludge prior to land application are necessary to not only protect human health, but also to induce the public its benefits and safety. currently, many wastewater treatment plants in iran dispose great amounts of untreated sewage sl...

In recent years, safer methods for the control of fruit postharvest pathogens have been investigated and heat treatment could represent an effective and safe approach for managing postharvest decay such as Monilinia rots. In the present study, the effect of hot water treatment (HWT) (60◦C for 30 and 60 s) on brown rot was investigated. More specifically, the influence of HWT was determined in i...

The influence of dipping in hot salt solution on water absorption in nylon6 composites with dispersed aluminum powders was investigated. Dipping in hot salt solution (3mass%NaCl in distilled water) for 10 s at 373K increased the overweight of composite samples, whereas the addition of aluminum with dispersed powders (A1-addition) from zero to 40 vol%Al decreased the overweigh of the sample. Bas...

The amount of residual lignin in birch wood after a hot water extraction in a batch reactor was investigated as a function of extraction temperature and time. A kinetic model fitting the experimental data was then developed to explain delignification of wood during a hot water treatment. Results showed that delignification kinetics involves simultaneous degradation and condensation reactions, w...

among the healthy compounds such as sodium bicarbonate, potassium bicarbonate, vegetable oils, and biocontrol yeasts including heat treatments, as well as a good alternativeto chemical pesticides are considered hazardous. in this study, the effect of different levels of sodium bicarbonate treatment (0, 500 and 1000 mg/l and combination 1500 mg/l sodium bicarbonate with hot water 53 °c) were inv...

introduction: hot flash affects approximately 75% of women with breast cancer. those who experience hot flashes have higher rates of sleep disorders, temper and lower quality of life than women with no hot flashes. the   persent   study   was aimed to compare the effect of megestrol acetate with gabapentin on the severity of hot flashes in patients with breast cancer materials and methods: in a...

Background Scalds from domestic hot water are an important public health problem in New Zealand (NZ). Aims We aimed to study the hot water hazard in a yet unstudied setting: that of campgrounds. Methods Convenience sampling was performed involving 25 NZ campgrounds. These were sampled during summer months over a 4-year period (2008–2011) and in five different regions. We measured the temperatur...

The carotenoid zeaxanthin is concentrated within the macula. Increased macular zeaxanthin is suggested to lower the risk of age-related macular degeneration. The small red berry, wolfberry (Fructus barbarum L.; Gou Qi Zi and Kei Tze), is one of the richest natural sources of zeaxanthin. However, carotenoid bioavailability is low, and food-based products with enhanced bioavailability are of inte...

Phytochemicals of mushrooms are nutritionally functional and a source of physiologically beneficial medicines. In the present study, crude hot water; cold water extracts of Calocybe indica was qualitatively screened for the presence of phytochemicals. Hot water extracts showed the presence of many phytochemicals like polysaccharide, phenol, flavonoids, alkaloid, terpenoid and saponin when compa...
