Simultaneous acetone butanol ethanol (ABE) fermentation by Clostridium beijerinckii P260 and in situ product recovery was investigated using a vacuum process operated in two modes: continuous and intermittent. Integrated batch fermentations and ABE recovery were conducted at 37 °C using a 14-L bioreactor (7.0 L fermentation volume) containing initial substrate (glucose) concentration of 60 g/L....

Background & Objective:  Islamic fasting is observed by millions of Muslims across the world during the holy month of Ramadan and other specific  days of the lunar year. Fasting  Muslims  abstain from eating and drinking from dawn until sunset. Depending on season and geographical location, Muslims  maintain fasting for approximately 13-18 hours per day. The present study aimed to review the be...

Introduction: Physical activity and obesity affect the release of effective adipokines. In this regard, the present study investigated the effects of intermittent and continuous exercise in water and land (running on a treadmill) on visfatin, insulin, and blood glucose in pre and post menopausal obese women. Methods: In this quasi-experimental study, 18 obese women of Bandar Abbas City were ...

the purpose of this research was to determine the effects of intermittent and continuous training on inflammatory factors of crp and fibrinogen of young obese females. for this purpose, 36 obese sedentary subjects (body mass index>30) were randomly selected and randomly assigned to 3 groups of 12 subjects :intermittent training, continuous training and control (mean and sd of height, weight, ag...

Atrophy of skeletal muscle mass is an almost universal problem in survivors of critical illness and is associated with significant short- and long-term morbidity. Contrary to common practice, the provision of protein/amino acids as a continuous infusion significantly limits protein synthesis whereas intermittent feeding maximally stimulates skeletal muscle synthesis. Furthermore, whey-based pro...

background: the effective therapeutic dose of pralidoxime methylsulphate for organophosphate (op) poisoning is necessary to be clarified. this study was designed to comparatively assess the blood level of pralidoxime (bpl) and clinical outcomes in op poisoned patients treated with intermittent dosing and patients treated with continuous infusion. methods: this was a prospective, open labelled, ...

A novel milliliter-scale bioreactor equipped with a gas-inducing impeller was developed with oxygen transfer coefficients as high as in laboratory and industrial stirred-tank bioreactors. The bioreactor reaches oxygen transfer coefficients of >0.4 s(-1). Oxygen transfer coefficients of >0.2 s(-1) can be maintained over a range of 8- to 12-mL reaction volume. A reaction block with integrated hea...

the purpose of the present study was to determine the effect of four weeks of detraining after 12 weeks of continuous and intermittent aerobic training on high sensitive c-reactive protein (hs-crp) in rats (325.6±4.93 grams and 21 months old and their fertility period expired 3 months ago). for this purpose, 80 female wistar rats with strain 14848 were prepared and divided into three groups: co...
