Fluctuations in cardiac stroke volume during rowing by Sejersen, Casper

“…Also, SV fluctuated markedly during the stroke with deviations being largest at the higher work rate. Thus, SV decreased by 27 ± 10% (31 ± 11 mL) at the beginning of the stroke and increased by 25 ± 9% (28 ± 10 mL) in the recovery (P =.013), while breathing was entrained with one breath during the drive of the stroke and one prior to the next stroke. …”

Pilot-scale petroleum refinery wastewaters treatment systems: performance and microbial communities' analysis by Karray, Fatma

“…The reduction of the COD, BOD5, phenols, and the total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) reached 82.10%, 85.87%, 91.63%, and 81.11%, respectively at high hydraulic residence time (HRT = 10 days). Decreasing HRT to 5 and 2.5 days led to a decrease in the efficiency of the process and a decrease in biomass concentration was also observed (<1000 mg/l). …”
