Bacterial community structure and the predominant nitrifying activities and populations in each compartment of a three-compartment activated sludge system were determined. Each compartment was originally inoculated with the same activated sludge community entrapped in polyethylene glycol gel granules, and ammonium nitrogen was supplied to the system in an inorganic salts solution at a rate of 5...

Since Engineered Wood Products (EWPs) have entered the building industry as structural elements, several fire safety concerns arisen, especially for high-rise structures. The combustible nature of timber suggests that current models and correlations compartment dynamics might not apply to compartments with boundaries, due increased fuel load its redistribution across compartment. In order fill ...

When a ship sailing on the sea encounters flooding events, quickly predicting time of compartments in damaged area is beneficial to making evacuation decisions and reducing losses. At present, decision-makers obtain data through various sensors arranged board predict compartment flooding. These help with calculation emergency situations. This paper proposes new approach obtaining time. Specific...

Plant vacuolar sorting receptors (VSRs) display cytosolic Tyr motifs (YMPL) for clathrin-mediated anterograde transport to the prevacuolar compartment. Here, we show that the same motif is also required for VSR recycling. A Y612A point mutation in Arabidopsis thaliana VSR2 leads to a quantitative shift in VSR2 steady state levels from the prevacuolar compartment to the trans-Golgi network when ...

In actual fires, the nature of fires varies from compartment to compartment. However, domestic standard utilizes a uniform fire resistance 60 min. Therefore, in this study, required time was calculated by predicting temperature check whether standards are safe. The results show that, even if facilities divided into same use, they all require different fire-resisting times and at risk. addition,...

OBJECTIVE Early compartment syndrome is difficult to diagnose, and a delay in the diagnosis can result in amputation or death. Our objective was to explore the potential of infrared imaging, a portable and noninvasive technology, for detecting compartment syndrome in the legs of patients with multiple trauma. We hypothesized that development of compartment syndrome is associated with a reductio...

Downward phase of dose-response morphine converted U shape curve was chosen as a base for investigating the effects of different doses of naloxone (0.05-0.4 mg/Kg) on morphine reward/aversion properties using place preference method. First, male Wistar rats (200-220 g) were received morphine (1-7.5 mg/Kg) for place conditioning and marginal dose of morphine (5 mg/Kg) calculated by GraphPad soft...

The entity of Chiari formation was described by Hans Chiari in 1891 [1,2]. Since then the subject has been evaluated elaborately by a number of authors. However, it may only be correct to state that confusion in the understanding of pathogenesis and the nature of anomaly, significance of associated  abnormal soft tissue and bone anomalies and more importa...

A mathematical model of a drug transport after rapid injection is given. It takes into account three processes: drug plasma protein binding in central compartment transport processes between the central compartment and the peripheral compartment elimination of a drug from the central compartment.

Foot compartment syndrome is a serious potential complication of foot crush injury, fractures, surgery, and vascular injury. The purpose of this article is to summarize and review the existing literature on this entity. Long-term sequelae of foot compartment syndrome (FCS) include contractures, deformity, weakness, paralysis, and sensory neuropathy. These complications are poorly tolerated, and...
