Generation of green electricity from sludge using photo-stimulated bacterial consortium as a sustainable technology.

Microbial fuel cell (MFC) is a bio-electrical energy generator that uses respiring microbes to transform organic matter present in sludge into electrical energy. The primary goal of this work was to introduce a new approach to the green electricity generation technology. In this context a total of 6 bacterial isolates were recovered from sludge samples collected from El-Sheikh Zayed water purification plant, Egypt, and screened for their electrogenic potential.

Combined Proteome and Transcriptome Analysis of Heat-Primed Azalea Reveals New Insights Into Plant Heat Acclimation Memory.

Plants can obtain superinduction of defense against unpredictable challenges based on prior acclimation, but the mechanisms involved in the acclimation memory are little known. The objective of this study was to characterize mechanisms of heat acclimation memory in , a thermotolerant wild species of azalea. Pretreatment of a 2-d recovery (25/18°C, day/night) after heat acclimation (37°C, 1 h) (AR-pt) did not weaken but enhanced acquired thermotolerance in with less damaged phenotype, net photosynthetic rate, and membrane stability than non-acclimation pretreated (NA-pt) plants.

Age at diagnosis in women with non-metastatic breast cancer: Is it related to prognosis?

Objective: Primary objective was to verify whether breast cancer patients aged less than 40 years at diagnosis have poorer prognosis than older patients. Secondary to assess prognostic factors influencing disease free survival.

Methods: 941 women were diagnosed with non-metastatic breast cancer at NCI, Cairo in 2003.

Clinical outcomes of patients with desmoplastic small round cell tumor of the peritoneum undergoing autologous HCT: a CIBMTR retrospective analysis.

Desmoplastic small round cell tumor of the peritoneum (DSRCTP) is a rare, frequently fatal tumor. This retrospective study, based on CIBMTR registry data, describes the largest reported cohort of DSRCTP patients who have undergone Auto-SCT. The probabilities of disease-free survival (DFS) at 1 year for patients in CR and not in CR were 75% (95% confidence interval: 48-94%) and 35% (15-59%), respectively.

Measured and Calculated Dose to the Junction between Supraclavicular Field and Tangential Fields Using Different Techniques in Post-Mastectomy Radiotherapy.

Unlabelled: Appropriately delivered post-operative radiotherapy is an integral part in the multidisciplinary approach for the treatment of invasive breast cancer.

The Aim Of The Work: Is to find the most effective simple way to achieve homogeneous dose distribution to the junction of the supraclavicular beam and tangential beams, in absence of CT planning facilities, through measurement/calculation of dose using different techniques.

Material And Methods: Alderson human phantom was planned and irradiated through 4 different techniques.
