The present study investigates the influence of individual and combined hydrogen peroxide and thermal pre-treatment of waste activated sludge on anaerobic digestion. For so doing, it employs anaerobic batch reactors in the mesophilic conditions. For comparison, soluble fractions of organic matter, biogas production, biochemical methane potential, removal of chemical oxygen demand (COD), and vol...

Insulin and insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) both play important roles in vascular remodeling. Moreover, nitric oxide (NO) is well established as a counterregulatory agent that opposes the actions of several vascular agonists, in part by decreasing smooth muscle motility. We tested the hypothesis that NO blocks insulin or IGF-I-induced rat aortic smooth muscle cell motility via a mechanism ...

Nanorods were decorated with different hemeproteins that are able to convert hydrogen peroxide. When dispersed into hydrogen peroxide solutions, most of these nanorods are characterized by diffusion coefficients which increase with the concentration of hydrogen peroxide. Such a behaviour does not characterize unmodified nanorods.

An automated sensor system for the continuous and in-line measurement of hydrogen peroxide in industrial applications is described. The hydrogen peroxide concentration can be measured over the entire pH range, over a wide concentration range of hydrogen peroxide (10(-3) 70 g/l), from 0 to 70( degrees )C, and with high precision and accuracy (errors less than 1% ). The system consists of a bypas...
