Effect of biomass pre-treatment on supercritical CO extraction of lipids from marine diatom sp. and its biomass evaluation as bioethanol feedstock.

Marine diatoms are a potential source for lipids and carbohydrates, which can have several applications ranging from biofuels to nutraceuticals. Due to their siliceous cellular structure and the complex nature of different lipid classes, it is important to understand the effect of biomass pre-treatment on the extractability of marine diatom lipids. In the present study, we tested the effect of four biomass pre-treatments (acid, base, anionic detergent, and non-ionic detergent) conditions on the extractability of lipids from sp.

Dietetics supply and demand: 2010-2020.

The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, in conjunction with the Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR), invited The Lewin Group to undertake an analysis of the dietetics workforce. The purpose of the workforce study was to develop a model that can project the supply and demand for both registered dietitians (RDs) and dietetic technicians, registered (DTRs) (collectively referred to as CDR-credentialed dietetics practitioners) as the result of various key drivers of change. The research team was asked to quantify key market factors where possible and to project likely paths for the evolution of workforce supply and demand, as well as to assess the implications of the findings.

Immediate provisionalization of NanoTite implants in support of single-tooth and unilateral restorations: one-year interim report of a prospective, multicenter study.

Background: Clinical studies reporting immediate loading of endosseous implants for edentulous cases and for fixed partial restorations have been well documented with satisfactory survival rates. Implants with a recently developed, nanometer-scale surface topography (NanoTite, BIOMET 3i, Palm Beach Gardens, FL, USA), created by discrete crystalline depositions (DCD) of calcium phosphate nano-crystals onto a dual acid-etched (DAE) surface, show enhanced early fixation in preclinical studies when compared with DAE-surfaced implants. These outcomes suggest DCD-surfaced implants may be advantageous for immediate loading approaches.
