Image analysis application for the study of activated sludge floc size during the treatment of synthetic and real fishery wastewaters.

Background, Aim, And Scope: Fishery wastewater treatment can be compromised due to seasonal production. The use of sequencing batch reactors is not completely successful, despite flexibility being one of the principal advantages. Most research on activated sludge is performed using synthetic wastewater to ensure a stable and constant feed.

Dental findings and dental care management in trisomy 18: case report of a 13-year-old "long-term survivor".

Trisomy 18 is a disorder characterized by psychomotor disabilities, dysmorphic features and organ malformations, including mental disabilities, growth deficiency, poor motor ability, micrognathia, microcephaly, low-set and malformed ears, distinctively clenched fists with overlapping fingers, and congenital heart defects.
