Although hypersaline environments pose challenges to life because of the low water content (water activity), many such habitats appear to support eukaryotic microbes. This contribution presents brief reviews of our current knowledge on eukaryotes of water-column haloclines and brines from Deep Hypersaline Anoxic Basins (DHABs) of the Eastern Mediterranean, as well as shallow-water hypersaline m...

On-line parameter identification is a key problem of adaptive control and also an important part of self-tuning regulator (STR) (Astrom & Wittenmark, 1994). In the widely equipped large-scale systems, distributed systems and remote systems, the plants, controllers, actuators and sensors are connected by communication channels which possess only finite communication capability due to, e.g., data...

Recently, we utilized the optical properties of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) for plasmonically enhanced Rayleigh scattering imaging spectroscopy (PERSIS), a new technique that enabled the direct observation of AuNP localization. In this study, we employ PERSIS by using AuNPs as light-scattering probes to compare the relative efficacy of three chemotherapeutic drugs on human oral squamous carcinom...

This article aims to reconstruct the history of Isa Anshary's Islamic da'wah thought which is still not widely found in historiography Indonesia. study uses an intellectual approach (intellectual history) and historical actor theory. The method used this through four stages, namely data collection or sources (heuristics), source criticism, interpretation historiography. Based on approach, theor...

This case describes the clinical and radiographic appearance, medical treatment and long-term followup of a 6-year-old French trotter stallion that was referred with an acute onset of pain and swelling at the tail-head without a history of traumatic insult. Radiographic examination revealed multiple semicircular and millet-sized radiolucencies at the endplates of several adjacent caudal vertebr...

The Cuatro Ciénegas Basin (CCB) is a rare oasis in the Chihuahuan Desert in the state of Coahuila, Mexico. It has a biological endemism similar to that of the Galapagos Islands, and its spring-fed ecosystems have very low nutrient content (nitrogen or phosphorous) and are dominated by diverse microbialites. Thus, it has proven to be a distinctive opportunity for the field of astrobiology, as th...

Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have led the way in the treatment of aqueous waste and are rapidly becoming the chosen technology for many applications. In this paper, COD reduction potential of leather tanning industry wastewaters by Electro-Fenton (EF) oxidation, as one of the AOPs, was experimentally evaluated. The wastewater sample was taken from an outlet of an equalization basin in a ...
