Directional Selection of Microbial Community Reduces Propionate Accumulation in Glycerol and Glucose Anaerobic Bioconversion Under Elevated pCO2

Volatile fatty acid accumulation is a sign of digester perturbation.Previous work showed the thermodynamic limitations of hydrogen and CO2 in Industrial:Restaurant syntrophic propionate oxidation under elevated partial pressure of CO2 (pCO2).Here we study the effect of directional selection under increasing substrate load as a strategy to restructu

Developing and Testing of the Principle Prototype for Efficient Micro-Damage Fine Stripping of Asphalt on the Surface of Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement

In the current recycling process of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP), due to the serious damage of aggregate gradation and the large amount of aged asphalt still wrapped around the surface of the treated aggregate, the low recycling rate and poor performance of the recycled asphalt POCKET MIRROR WITH BRUSH mixture are the major problems of RAP.In v

Adaptive geostatistical sampling enables efficient identification of malaria hotspots in repeated cross-sectional surveys in rural Malawi.

INTRODUCTION:In the context of malaria elimination, interventions will need to target high burden areas to further reduce transmission.Current tools to monitor and report disease burden lack the capacity to continuously detect fine-scale spatial and temporal variations of disease distribution exhibited by malaria.These tools use random sampling tec
