Three columns each with 770 cm2 of surface area and 60-105 cm effective depth were set up for this study. These columns were filled with compacted, stabilized refuse. High-strength brewery wastewaters were uniformly trickled down the medium. Overall, 16 runs with various organic loadings were tested and the results demonstrated that the stabilized refuse had excellent capability in removing chemical oxygen demand (COD). The COD removal efficiency reached 95% at a depth of 60 cm at Q = 8 L/day for the initial COD of approximately 6000 mg/L and the efficiency increased to >99% at a depth of 90 cm (organic loading of 0.69 kg/m3/day). As would be expected, the filter performance is a function of flow rate, influent COD concentration, and bed depth. The Schulze equation is able to predict the COD removal performance well. The variations of pH, oxidation reduction potential, and volatile fatty acids indicated that the acidogenesis reaction occurred in the upper layers.

Protein supplementation delivered alone or in combination with presumptive azithromycin treatment for enteric pathogens did not improve linear growth in Bangladeshi infants: results of a cluster-randomized controlled trial.
Am J Clin Nutr

Department of International Health, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, Baltimore, MD, United States.
Background: Protein requirements established for healthy populations may be insufficient to support healthy growth in infants consuming largely cereal-based complementary foods and frequently exposed to enteric pathogens.
Objectives: This study aimed to assess independent and combined effects of protein supplementation and antibiotic treatment on linear growth of infants aged 6-12 mo.
Methods: We conducted a 2 × 4 factorial cluster-randomized trial in northwestern Bangladesh, allocating 566 clusters to masked azithromycin (10 mg/kg × 3 d) or placebo at 6 and 9 mo of age and unmasked delivery of an egg white protein-rich blended food supplement (250 kcal; 10 g added protein), a rice-based isocaloric supplement, egg, or nutrition education from 6 to 12 mo.
Intraindividual Correlation and Comparison of Maximal Aerobic Capacity and Maximum Power in Hand-Crank and Bicycle Spiroergometry.

Background: Spiroergometry is important for modern performance diagnostics, and reference values have been evaluated for bicycle and treadmill ergometers. The aim of this study is to assess the comparability of bicycle and hand-crank spiroergometry and its associated parameters, as hand-crank spiroergometry can be used during rehabilitation in patients with definitive or temporally impairment of the lower extremity.
Methods: Thirty-seven healthy volunteers completed 2 exhausting performance diagnostics on hand-crank and bicycle spiroergometry.
Linear Factor Analytic Thurstonian Forced-Choice Models: Current Status and Issues.

University of Wuppertal, Germany.
Thurstonian forced-choice modeling is considered to be a powerful new tool to estimate item and person parameters while simultaneously testing the model fit. This assessment approach is associated with the aim of reducing faking and other response tendencies that plague traditional self-report trait assessments. As a result of major recent methodological developments, the estimation of normative trait scores has become possible in addition to the computation of only ipsative scores.

Article Synopsis
- Regular consumption of eggs was tested for its effects on the growth of infants aged 6-12 months in rural Bangladesh, focusing on linear growth metrics.
- The study involved over 3,000 infants and assessed various growth indicators using a control group for comparison, while providing nutrition education and monitoring compliance.
- Results showed no significant impact on linear growth or stunting rates, but infants in the egg group had notably higher weight and weight-for-age scores compared to the control group.

Background: Instability in self-esteem and instability in affect are core features of borderline personality disorder (BPD). For decades, researchers and theorists have been interested in the temporal dynamics between these constructs. Some hypothesize that changes in affective states should precede changes in self-esteem (Linehan, Cognitive-behavioral treatment of borderline personality disorder.
