The objective of this study was to evaluate the suitability of using woodchips as a carbon source read more for denitrification in intermittently operated household slow sand filters.This was accomplished through a series of batch and column experiments where fishpond bacteria were used to inoculate the reactors, and the resulting nitrate and nitri
Successful osseointegration involves the biological behavior of bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) on an implant surface; however, the role of BMSC-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs)/exosomes in osseointegration is little known.This study aimed to: (i) explore the interaction force between exosomes (Exo) and cells on a titanium surface; (ii) discuss
Most temperate species require prolonged exposure to winter chilling temperatures to flower in the spring.In the Brassicaceae, the MADS box transcription factor FLOWERING LOCUS C (FLC) is a major regulator of flowering in response to prolonged cold exposure, a process called vernalization.Winter annual Arabidopsis thaliana accessions initiate flowe
This paper presents a detailed analysis of the research into il barone wine modern thermal energy storage systems dedicated to autonomous buildings.The paper systematises the current state of knowledge concerning thermal energy storage systems and their use of either phase change materials or sorption systems; it notes their benefits, drawbacks, ap
Smart city development is gaining widespread acceptance as a means of mitigating urban development problems.However, the implementation of smart cities faces challenges, especially in developing countries.Urban computing is regarded as an enabler of innovation and smart city development.This study explores the adoption of urban computing to address
