A Three Year Long Experience of Effective Fouling Inhibition by Threshold Flux Based Optimization Methods on a NF Membrane Module for Olive Mill Wastewater Treatment

The operation of a spiral-wounded nanofiltration membrane module used continuously for three years in order to purify different pretreated olive mill wastewater streams will be discussed.The membrane module was for the first time used at the beginning of year 2006 on a batch pilot scale plant for critical flux studies and wastewater treatment in ou

Application of consecutive polyethylene glycol treatments for modeling the seminal root growth of rice under water stress

Abstract The response of root growth to various osmotic potentials is quite important in assessing the drought resistance of rice.This study modeled seminal root growth by applying consecutive polyethylene glycol (PEG) treatments (from 0 to 25%, borstlist självhäftande 1% step), mathematical equations and noncontact image analysis to quantitative

Alterations in articular cartilage T2 star relaxation time following mechanical disorders: in vivo canine supraspinatus tendon resection models

Abstract Background The role of altered joint mechanics on cartilage degeneration in in vivo models has not been studied successfully due to a lack of pre-injury information.We aimed 1) to develop an accurate in vivo canine model to measure the changes in joint loading and T2 star (T2*) relaxation click here time before and after unilateral suprasp
