This study investigated the aerobic biodegradation of methyl tertiary-butyl ether (MTBE) by a microbial consortium in a continuous up-flow packed-bed biofilm reactor using tezontle stone particles as a supporting material for the biofilm. Although MTBE is toxic for microbial communities, the microbial consortium used here was able to resist MTBE loading rates up to 128.3 mg L-1 h-1, with remova...

When using the Cobb-Douglas (C-D) production function to measure contribution rate of agricultural technological progress (ATP), it is necessary estimate output elasticity coefficient (OEC) each input factor in C-D function. For this purpose, usually take logarithm at both sides and convert into a linear function, then use regression analysis method OECs factors. However, there are some problem...
