Food waste and biopolymers, plastics derived from plants, are unexploited sources of energy when discarded in landfills without energy recovery.In addition, polylactic acid (PLA) and food waste have complimentary characteristics for anaerobic digestion; both are organic and degrade under anaerobic conditions.Lab-scale reactors were set up to quanti
Abstract Background Some national guidelines recommend the use of water alone for napkin cleansing.Yet, there is a readiness, amongst many parents, to use baby wipes.Evidence from randomised controlled trials, of the effect of baby wipes on newborn skin integrity is lacking.We conducted a study to examine the hypothesis that the use of a specifical
In this work, we propose a mathematical model that describes liver evolution and concentrations of alanine hard steel shot aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase in a group of rats damaged with carbon tetrachloride.Carbon tetrachloride was employed to induce cirrhosis.A second groups damaged with carbon tetrachloride was exposed simultaneo
Nowadays, most fishing vessels are equipped with high-resolution commercial echo sounders.However, many instruments cannot be calibrated and missing data occur frequently.These problems impede the collection of acoustic data by commercial fishing vessels, which are necessary for species classification and stock assessment.In this study, an automati
