Kinerja Microbial Fuel Cell dengan Variasi Hambatan Eksternal dalam Menghasilkan Energi Listrik dan Menyisihkan Senyawa Organik pada Limbah Cair

Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC) merupakan teknologi yang dapat digunakan untuk mengkonversikan senyawa organik yang terkandung dalam limbah cair menjadi energi listrik. Pada penelitian ini dilakukan variasi hambatan eksternal (1000 Ω, 800 Ω, 400 ...

Hybrid Fuel Cell—Supercritical CO₂ Brayton Cycle for CO₂ Sequestration-Ready Combined Heat and Power

The low prices and its relatively low carbon intensity of natural gas have encouraged the coal replacement with natural gas power generation. Such a replacement reduces greenhouse gases and other emissions. To address the significant energy...

Correction to: Evaluating a screener to quantify PTSD risk using emergency care information: a proof of concept study

An amendment to this paper has been published and can be accessed via the original article....

The Effectiveness of Simultaneous Training of Various Executive Functions (Hot and Cool; Focused on Simultaneous Parent-Child Training) on Improving the Empathy of Children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

The present study aimed to effectiveness of simultaneous training of various executive functions (hot and cool; focused on simultaneous parent-child training) on improving the empathy of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorde...

Screen Time vs. Quality Time: Examining the Relationship between Multi-screen Addiction and Marital Relationship Quality through the Lens of maintenance-oriented relationship commitment

Objective: The present study aimed to investigate the predictive model of marital relationship quality based on multi-screen addiction with the mediating role of maintenance-oriented relationship commitment in married individuals.Methods: T...

Phenomenon of spirituality in scientific discourse

Aim of the paper is to substantiate the concept of ‘spirituality’, to explain its relevance within the framework of modern education and social conditions as well as to clarify peculiarities of concept ‘spirituality’ within academic discour...

Aboveground Biomass, Carbon Sequestration, and Yield of <i>Pyrus pyrifolia</i> under the Management of Organic Residues in the Subtropical Ecosystem of Southern Brazil

Organic residues management (ORM) alter plant traits and soil properties by changing nutrient and carbon cycling. It is unclear how ORM (mulching, compost, and their combination) applied for 18 months creates a mechanism to promote changes ...

Microbial Biofilms Along a Geochemical Gradient at the Shallow-Water Hydrothermal System of Vulcano Island, Mediterranean Sea

Shallow water hydrothermal vents represent highly dynamic environments where strong geochemical gradients can shape microbial communities. Recently, these systems are being widely used for investigating the effects of ocean acidification on...

Reconciling surface deflections from simulations of global mantle convection

The modern state of the mantle and its evolution on geological timescales are of widespread importance for the Earth sciences. For instance, it is generally agreed that mantle flow is manifest in topographic and drainage network evolution, ...

Validation of OMI, GOME-2A and GOME-2B tropospheric NO₂, SO₂ and HCHO products using MAX-DOAS observations from 2011 to 2014 in Wuxi, China: investigation of the effects of priori profiles and aerosols on the satellite products

Tropospheric vertical column densities (VCDs) of NO2, SO2 and HCHO derived from the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) on AURA and the Global Ozone Monitoring Experiment 2 aboard METOP-A (GOME-2A) and METOP-B (GOME-2B) are widely used to cha...

Phase-resolved prediction of ocean wave field using video prediction

Short-term phase-resolved ocean wave field prediction is desired for safe and efficient offshore operation. The dynamics of ocean waves are influenced by ambient currents, nonlinearity, and finite depth, which are difficult to characterize ...

Potential and limitations of multidecadal satellite soil moisture observations for selected climate model evaluation studies

Soil moisture is an essential climate variable (ECV) of major importance for land–atmosphere interactions and global hydrology. An appropriate representation of soil moisture dynamics in global climate models is therefore important. Recentl...

Controle da podridão parda do pessegueiro com fungicidas e fosfitos avaliados em pré e pós-colheita Control of peach tree brown rot by fungicides and phosphites evaluated during preharvest and postharvest

A podridão parda é a doença mais importante para a cultura do pessegueiro, entretanto, no Brasil são escassos os trabalhos realizados a campo visando o seu controle. Objetivou-se, neste trabalho, selecionar fungicidas em laboratório e avali...

The Netrin-related domain of Sfrp1 interacts with Wnt ligands and antagonizes their activity in the anterior neural plate

Abstract Background Secreted frizzled related proteins (SFRPs) are multifunctional modulators of Wnt and BMP (Bone Morphogenetic Protein) signalling necessary for the development of most organs and the homeostasis of different adult tissues...

Generation of proximal tubule spheroids for nephrotoxicity assessment

Background To date, nephrotoxicity in new drug development has been evaluated through two-dimensional culture of representative cell lines, such as HK-2 and human proximal tubule epithelial cells (hPTECs). Approximately 20% of new drugs tha...
