“Ammonium, and trace metals such as iron and manganese are common inorganic pollutants present in waters. Several surface and groundwaters contain natural or increased concentrations of these pollutants that are observed either isolated or in pairs, or all three together. Although several processes have been established for the biological removal of one of the above-mentioned pollutants, only recently have important studies been performed on the efficient and cost-effective simultaneous biological removal of two or more substances. This paper reviews the variety of full- and pilot-scale biological filters that have been used for combined or simultaneous biological removal, as well as factors and conditions that were found to affect the process. The main results regarding research progress on combined GW69A or simultaneous biological removal are evaluated. Finally, the kinetic models and simulation approaches used are discussed.

“Highly (001)-,
(100)-, (101)-, and (110)-oriented (Pb0.90La0.10)Ti0.975O3 (PLT) thin films were deposited on the LaNiO3(001)/Pt(111)/Ti/SiO2/Si(100), LaNiO3/SiO2/Si(100), PbTiO3/Pt(111)/Ti/SiO2/Si(100), and LaNiO3(110)/Pt(111)/Ti/SiO2/Si(100) substrates by rf magnetron Saracatinib inhibitor sputtering. The orientation dependence of ferroelectric properties of the PLT films was investigated. The result shows that the (001)-oriented PLT thin films exhibit enhanced ferroelectric properties (2P(r)=61.1 mu C/cm(2) and 2E(c)=179 kV/cm). The residual stress of the PLT thin films with different orientations was measured by x-ray diffraction (sin(2) Psi method) for illuminating buy GSK1838705A the related physical mechanisms. The result shows that the enhanced ferroelectric properties of (001)-oriented PLT thin films should be attributed to low residual stress.”
“BACKGROUND: The outcomes of
combined arthroscopic repairs of a SLAP (superior labral anterior-posterior) lesion and a rotator cuff tear are not known. We compared the outcomes in a cohort of patients who had undergone concomitant arthroscopic repairs of a SLAP lesion and a rotator cuff tear with those in a cohort of patients with a stable biceps anchor who had undergone an isolated rotator cuff repair. We hypothesized that the results would be similar between the two cohorts with respect to the range of motion and preoperative and postoperative function.
METHODS: Thirty-four patients (average age, 56.9 years) underwent an arthroscopic repair of an unstable SLAP lesion along with a concomitant arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. Twenty-eight patients (average age, 59.6 years) underwent an isolated arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.
