The technical feasibility of advanced oxidation process, in particular persulfate (PS) oxidation followed by struvite precipitation for landfill leachate treatment and nutrient recovery has been depicted in the current study. Furthermore, the impact of activation of PS with thermal and ultraviolet (UV) irradiation techniques on COD removal efficiency is also investigated. A maximum COD removal efficiency of 96% is accomplished at 65 °C together with supply of UV irradiation. The impact of persulfate dose, pH, and PS/65 °C/UV system on COD and biodegradability is also illustrated in the current study. Additionally, decomposition rate constant values are also ascertained in the present study. Afterwards, nutrient recovery using struvite precipitation is carried out for sustainable utilization of resources. Preliminary treatment of leachate with PS/65 °C/UV system is greatly conducive to recovering high quality struvite crystals. Besides, 94.9%, 83.5%, and 91.3% of PO - P, NH - N, and Mg recovery efficiency attained respectively at pH 9.5 and 1.2:1:1 molar ratio of Mg: NH - N: PO - P. Additionally, all the nutrient recovery studies are validated using chemical equilibrium model Visual MINTEQ. Later, bioavailable fraction of PO - P in the recovered struvite is also investigated for utilization as fertilizer. The presence of Cu and Zn in the recovered struvite precipitate enhanced its economic value as a fertilizer. Since Cu and Zn are vital micronutrients for growth of plants. The low soluble values of recovered struvite precipitate confirmed its utilization as slow releasing fertilizer.

Background/objectives: Despite being widely promoted, protein supplementation's overall effectiveness during demanding basketball schedules remains unclear. This study investigated whether increased protein intake can accelerate recovery of muscle function during a 6-day congested basketball microcycle consisting of three consecutive games while accounting for the impact of playing time.
Methods: In a randomized, two-trial, cross-over, double-blind repeated measures design, eighteen male basketball players were assigned to a high (High PT) or a moderate (Mod PT) playing time group and participated in two trials, receiving daily either milk protein (PRO trial) or an isoenergetic amount of carbohydrates.

Background: Oxaliplatin-induced neuropathy (OIN) is a severe painful condition that strongly affects the patient's quality of life and cannot be counteracted by the available drugs or adjuvants. Thus, several efforts are devoted to discovering substances that can revert or reduce OIN, including natural compounds. The carob tree, L.

Background And Objectives: the COVID-19 pandemic underscored the necessity of understanding the factors influencing susceptibility and disease severity, as well as a better recovery of functional status, especially in postcritical patients. evidence regarding the efficacy of vitamin D supplementation in reducing the severity of COVID-19 is still insufficient due to the lack of primary robust trial-based data and heterogeneous study designs. the principal aims of our study were to determine the impact of vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency on complications during intensive care unit (icu) stay, as well as its role in muscle mass and strength improvement as well as morphofunctional recovery during a multispecialty 6-month follow-up program based on adapted nutritional support and specific physical rehabilitation.
