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

“…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. At 22% CO2 the Rc and μ decreased by around an order of magnitude, and nutrient removal also decreased to 79% and 50% for N and P, respectively. …”

SIRT1 may play a crucial role in overload-induced hypertrophy of skeletal muscle by Koltai, Erika

“…Furthermore, increased levels of K63 and muscle RING finger 2 (MuRF2) protein could also be important enhancers of muscle mass. We report here that the levels of miR1 and miR133a decrease in hypertrophy and negatively correlate with muscle mass, SIRT1 and Nampt levels. …”

Rural development program in tribal region: A protocol for adaptation and addressing climate change vulnerability by Jha, Shashidhar Kumar

“…The Indian Government has launched the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA), an incentive-based programme addressing vulnerability to poverty, climate change and NSS by integrating natural systems (water, land, soil) and human systems (employment opportunities). Here we show that the vulnerability related to climate variability, agriculture, water and household economic conditions has decreased significantly due to MGNREGA interventions. …”
