Field-scale electrolysis/ceramic membrane system for the treatment of sewage from decentralized small communities.

The electrolysis process adopting copper electrodes and ceramic membrane with pore sizes of 0.1-0.2 μm were consisted to a system for the treatment of sewage from decentralized small communities.

Integrated nitrogen removal biofilter system with ceramic membrane for advanced post-treatment of municipal wastewater.

The pre-denitrification biofilm process for nitrogen removal was combined with ceramic membrane with pore sizes of 0.05-0.1 µm as a system for advanced post-treatment of municipal wastewater.

The EULAR Sjogren's syndrome patient reported index as an independent determinant of health-related quality of life in primary Sjogren's syndrome patients: in comparison with non-Sjogren's sicca patients.

Objective: To investigate the significant determinants of health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and the association of the EULAR Sjögren's syndrome patient reported index (ESSPRI) with clinical parameters including HRQOL in Korean patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) compared with non-SS sicca patients.

Methods: We prospectively analysed 104 pSS and 42 non-SS sicca patients. Clinical data including Short Form 36 (SF-36) scores, self-assessments for symptoms and ESSPRI were cross-sectionally collected.
