Constructed wetland (CW) with monoculture of Arundo donax L. was investigated for the posttreatment of anaerobic bioreactor (ABR) treating combined industrial wastewater. Different dilutions of combined industrial wastewater (20, 40, 60, and 80) and original wastewater were fed into the ABR and then posttreated by the laboratory scale CW. The respective removal efficiencies of COD, BOD, TSS, ni...

BACKGROUND The Rho GTPases-Rho, Rac, and Cdc42-regulate the dynamics of F-actin (filamentous actin) and myosin-2 with considerable subcellular precision. Consistent with this ability, active Rho and Cdc42 occupy mutually exclusive zones during single-cell wound repair and asymmetric cytokinesis, suggesting the existence of mechanisms for local crosstalk, but how local Rho GTPase crosstalk is co...

Communication of high-quality business and financial information to decision-makers helps get clear insights on the outlook assists them in making timely decisions. Financial reporting acts as a media disseminate various interested parties by providing operating through statements, notes accounts other footnotes narratives Annual Business Report (ABR). Today stakeholders are very keen getting b...

In this preliminary study, we propose an expressive and interactive research method using a developmental transformations (DvT) model multimodal art response as applied to art-based (ABR) design, specifically relating the experience of social rejection. We explored three questions: Can rejection be understood through playful interactions in DvT play? How does playing with vary solo play, play o...

OBJECTIVES To investigate the validity of newborn hearing screening protocol using automated auditory brainstem response (AABR) with a confirmation method using click auditory brainstem response (ABR) and to evaluate changes in hearing status of infants with confirmed congenital hearing loss. METHODS Neonates in the well-baby nursery were screened by staged AABR. Subjects whose final AABR res...

BACKGROUND Cortical hemispherectomy leads to degeneration of ipsilateral subcortical structures, which can be observed long term after the operation. Therefore, reorganization of the brainstem auditory pathway might occur. The aim of this study was to assess reorganization of brainstem auditory pathways by measuring the auditory brainstem response (ABR) in long-term hemispherectomized patients....

OBJECTIVE To determine the effectiveness of auditory steady-state response (ASSR) as a measure of hearing sensitivity in young children suspect for significant hearing loss. DESIGN Within-subject comparisons of click auditory brainstem response (ABR) thresholds and ASSR thresholds. SUBJECTS The study population comprised 42 children suspect for hearing loss and subsequently referred for hea...

Ž . The Available Bit Rate ABR service in ATM networks uses end-to-end rate-based flow control to allow fair and w efficient support of data applications over ATM networks. One of the architectural features in the ABR specification ATM x Forum, ATM Traffic Management Specification Version 4.0, April 1996 is the Virtual SourcerVirtual Destination Ž . VSrVD option. This option allows a switch to ...

Auditory brainstem response (ABR) thresholds to air- and bone-conducted clicks were investigated in 40 full-term neonates. Subjects were divided into two groups of 20 according to postpartum age: less than 48 hours and between 49 and 96 hours. Mean ABR thresholds to air- and bone-conducted clicks for neonates less than 48 hours postpartum were 14.5 dB nHL (51.5 dB peak SPL) and 1.8 dB nHL (36.8...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine the air-bone gaps in adults with mixed-type hearing loss using air-conduction auditory brainstem response (ABR) latencies. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty adults with mixed-type hearing loss (study group) and 30 adults with normal hearing (control group) were included in this study. Before performing ABR measurements, ear, nose, and throat examina...
