Optimization of ultrasonication and alkalinization as pretreatment methods for leachate co-digested with food waste toward maximum synergistic effects.

Anaerobic co-digestion (AcoD) of food waste (FW) and landfill leachate has shown promising results in enhancing the methane yield. However, leachate includes toxic and refractory compounds that may impact the decomposition process. In this research, co-digested leachate was pretreated using ultrasonication and alkalinization to manipulate its characteristics toward improved synergism with FW.

The impact of the broad range of gamma doses on follow-up fission fragment track parameters in CR-39 radiation detector.

In this study, the effect of high γ-doses on the track parameters, structure as well as optical properties of pristine and γ-irradiation CR-39 nuclear track detector (NTD) were investigated. CR-39 detectors were exposed to γ-doses from 50 up to 500 kGy and then irradiated by fission ions (F.F) of fluence from CF source.

Mitigation of endogenous oxidative stress and improving growth, hemato-biochemical parameters, and reproductive performance of Zaraibi goat bucks by dietary supplementation with Chlorella vulgaris or/and vitamin C.

This study was conducted to explore the effects of dietary inclusion of Chlorella vulgaris (CV) or/and vitamin C (VC) on growth, hemato-biochemical parameters, oxidative and antioxidant status, reproductive hormones, and semen quality variables, and scrotal-testicular dimensions of Zaraibi goat bucks. Twenty sexually mature bucks (41.49 ± 0.

Evaluation of Fat Excision versus Sparing in Lower Blepharoplasty Using Orbital Gray Scale Analysis.

Unlabelled: Orbital septum plication provides various benefits, including eliminating the necessity for a septal incision and the ability to relocate infraorbital fat in a more anatomically suitable manner. This study aimed to compare the results of traditional lower blepharoplasty with fat excision and the orbital septal plication method using orbital grey scale analysis as a new objective method for assessment.

Methods: We conducted a prospective cohort study on patients with bilateral baggy lower eyelids who underwent traditional lower blepharoplasty with fat excision or fat-sparing technique using orbital septal plication.

Synergistic Effects Between Dietary Zinc Form Supplementation and Dietary Protein Levels on Performance, Intestinal Functional Topography, Hemato-biochemical Indices, Immune, Oxidative Response, and Associated Gene Expression of Nile Tilapia Oreochromis niloticus.

The present study investigates the effect of different dietary protein levels suboptimum level (25%) and optimum level (35%), different Zn forms bulk zinc oxide (BZnO) or nanoparticles zinc oxide (NZnO), and their interaction on performance, intestinal topography, hematology, serum biochemical, antioxidant-immune responses, and related gene expression of Nile tilapia. Six experimental diets were formulated to contain approximately 25% and 35% crude protein and supplemented with Zn forms with 0 (normal level in ingredients), 60 mg kg BZnO and 60 mg kg nanoparticles of NZnO. Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus, fingerlings (7.
