Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is an acute hypoxemic respiratory failure with lung oedema of non cardiac origin. Its primary treatment is mechanical ventilation. ARDS is under the spotlights with influenza A pandemic flu. An operating definition has been set out by an experts-consensus conference in order to include patients in clinical trials. However, this definition lacks diagnos...

The authors compared the differences in tolerance to oxygen of the anaerobic periodontopathic bacteria Fusobacterium nucleatum and Porphyromonas gingivalis, and explored the possibility that F. nucleatum might be able to support the growth of P. gingivalis in aerated and CO2-depleted environments. Both micro-organisms were grown as monocultures and in co-culture in the presence and absence of C...

Suspension cultures of Arnebia euchroma supported with liquid perfluorodecalin (PFD) degassed, aerated, or ethylene-saturated were investigated as a novel in situ extraction system for enhanced alkannin/shikonin production. Simultaneously, the effect of PFD applied as the liquid gas carrier on the growth of A. euchroma biomass was studied. The similar dry (4-fold) and fresh (7-fold) biomass inc...

Because of its physiological importance in the rapid growth rate of birds and the continous air flow that provided it the lungs in both inspiration and expiration, the present study was performed to examine the air sac system on twelve mature turkeys of both sexes and different weight . Seven air sacs were demonstrated associated with the two lungs and characteristic for the turkey. They compri...

The nucleoid-associated protein FIS is a global regulator of gene expression and chromosome structure in Escherichia coli and Salmonella enterica. Despite the importance of FIS for infection and intracellular invasion, very little is known about the regulation of S. enterica fis expression. Under standard laboratory growth conditions, fis is highly expressed during rapid growth but is then sile...

This paper presents the results of the interfacial evolution of 1018 steel exposed to artificial cooling water in presence of two different environments: the oxygen content and the 1,2-hydroxyphosphonoacetic acid (HPA). The aerated solution in presence of HPA supported two processes; the first was the sequestration of calcium ions with the subsequent complexation of the calcium carbonate (CaCO3...

The present study addresses the effects of oxygen exposure on the aerobic and anaerobic respiratory activity of Desulfovibrio desulfuricans strain DvO1. This strain was isolated from the highest sulfate-reduction positive most-probable-number dilution (10(6)) of an activated sludge sample, which had been subjected to 120 h of continuous aeration. Washed cell suspensions of strain DvO1 were aera...

the notion of absorbent ordered filters in implicative semigroupsis introduced, and its fuzzification is considered. relations among (fuzzy) orderedfilters, (fuzzy) absorbent ordered filters, and (fuzzy) positive implicativeordered filters are stated. the extensionproperty for (fuzzy) absorbent orderedfilters is established. conditions for (fuzzy) ordered filters to be (fuzzy)absorbent ordered ...

Eutrophication is one of the global concerned due to algae bloom in natural surface water such as lakes and swamp area. Industrial effluent with incomplete treatment discharged has become main culprits this phenomenon. Approximately, 0.3 – 13 mg/L total phosphorus can be found final discharge industrial showing that existing including an activated carbon filter (ACF) limitation polishing phosph...
