Pilot-Scale Evaluation of Poultryponics: Insights into Nitrogen Utilization and Food Pathogen Dynamics.

Poultry processing wastewater (PPW) is a nutrient-rich effluent with the potential for reuse in crop irrigation. This study investigated transforming PPW into a hydroponic nutrient solution using a pilot scale "poultryponics" system operated continuously for 222 days. The system treated ∼57 L d of real PPW and consisted of bioreactors (inoculated with a consortium of microalgae and nitrifying bacteria), clarifiers, membrane filters, a UV disinfection unit, and a deep-water hydroponic system.

Capitalizing on strengths and minimizing weaknesses of veterans in civilian employment interviews: Perceptions of interviewers and veteran interviewees.

Like all job applicants, veterans have to face the ubiquitous employment interview and pass this potential hurdle to civilian sector employment. So, because of the uniqueness of transitioning from the military to civilian employment, the present paper sought to identify perceived interviewing strengths and weaknesses of veteran interviewees from (a) the perspective of civilian sector human resource professionals (i.e.

An Evaluation of Spin in the Abstracts of Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses on the Treatment of Psoriasis: A Cross-sectional Analysis.

Spin is a way of reporting that distorts the true findings; we sought to investigate the prevalence of spin in systematic review abstracts on psoriasis treatments and whether study characteristics were associated with spin. We searched MEDLINE and Embase to obtain our sample. Screening and data extraction were performed in a masked duplicate fashion.

The presence of spin in systematic reviews focused on diabetic neuropathy: A cross-sectional analysis.

Background: Spin-the misrepresentation of a study's actual results-has the potential to alter a clinician's interpretation of the study's findings and therefore could affect patient care. Studies have shown spin frequently occurs in abstracts of systematic reviews from a variety of other medical disorders and specialties.

Aims: Our primary aim was to evaluate whether the nine most severe types of spin occurred in systematic review abstracts' concerning diabetic neuropathy treatments.

Spin within systematic review abstracts on antiplatelet therapies after acute coronary syndrome: a cross-sectional study.

Objectives: Spin is a reporting practice in which study results are misrepresented by overestimating efficacy or underestimating harm. Prevalence of spin varies between clinical specialties, and estimates are based almost entirely on clinical trials. Little is known about spin in systematic reviews.
