results the results showed that the fog amount in input raw sewage in the mwwtp from june 2011 to september 2011 was around 25.5 mg/l and the amount in treated wastewater was about 8.1 mg/l. the fog removal efficiency in this refinery was about 70% and met the environmental standards for the discharge (less than 10 mg/l) (p < 0.05). conclusions the effluent can be discharged to surface waters o...

The low level of plant nutrients in exposed high-altitude subsoils, aod the effects of soil frost and needle ice on plants attempting to colonise these subsoils combine to make natural revegetation very difficult. Artificial revegetation trials established in 1965 at three sites in the Canterbury mountains tested the effect of a fertiliser mixture \vhich suppJied a wide range of nutrients, and ...

Germ cell specification as sperm or oocyte is an ancient cell fate decision, but its molecular regulation is poorly understood. In Caenorhabditis elegans, the FOG-1 and FOG-3 proteins behave genetically as terminal regulators of sperm fate specification. Both are homologous to well-established RNA regulators, suggesting that FOG-1 and FOG-3 specify the sperm fate post-transcriptionally. We pred...

Introduction: This study aims at investigating whether impaired anticipatory postural adjustments (APA) during gait initiation contribute to the occurrence of freezing of gait (FOG) or whether altered APAs compensate for FOG in Parkinson's disease (PD). Methods: Gait initiation after 30 s quiet stance was analyzed without and with a cognitive dual task (DT) in 33 PD subjects with FOG (PD+FOG), ...
