Optimization of cultivation conditions for combined nutrient removal and CO2 fixation in a batch photobioreactor by Al Ketife, Ahmed MD

“…Experimental conditions employed comprised CO2 concentrations (Cc,g) of 0.03–22% CO2, irradiation intensities (I) of 100–400 μE, temperatures of 20–30 °C and nutrient concentrations of 0–56 and 0–19 mg L−1 nitrogen and phosphorus, respectively, the response parameters being specific growth rate μ, CO2 uptake rate Rc and %nutrient removal. RESULTS Over 10 days the biomass concentration reached almost 3 g L−1 for Cc,g of 5% CO2, with corresponding values of 0.74 g L−1 day−1 and 1.17 day−1 for Rc and μ, respectively, and 100% nutrient (N and P) removals. …”

SARS-CoV-2 infection triggers more potent antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) responses than mRNA-, vector-, and inactivated virus-based COVID-19 vaccines by Zedan, Hadeel T.

“…We analyzed ADCC activity targeting SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) and nucleocapsid (N) proteins in convalescent sera following WT SARS-CoV-2-infection (n = 91), including symptomatic and asymptomatic infections, omicron-infection (n = 8), COVID-19 vaccination with messenger RNA- (mRNA)- (BNT162b2 or mRNA-1273, n = 77), adenovirus vector- (n = 41), and inactivated virus- (n = 46) based vaccines, as well as post-mRNA vaccination BTI caused by omicron (n = 28). …”

Treatment and desalination of domestic wastewater for water reuse in a four-chamber microbial desalination cell by Lu, Yaobin

“…Several strategies such as controlling catholyte pH, increasing influent COD concentration, adopting the batch mode, applying external voltage, and increasing the alkalinity of wastewater were investigated for improving the SMDC performance. Under a condition of 0.4 V external voltage, anolyte pH adjustment, and a batch mode, the SMDC decreased the wastewater salinity from 1.45 to below 0.75 mS cm−1, which met the salinity standard of wastewater for irrigation. …”
