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. The current work compared biomass morphology and settling ability using i...
The objective of this study was to determine bone quantity by ultrasound measurements of the proximal finger phalanges (AD-SoS = amplitude-dependent speed of sound) of healthy Brazilian schoolchildren living in Paraná, Brazil and to compare these values with European populations. The sample was composed of 1356 Brazilian schoolchildren of both genders (660 males, 696 females), aged 6 to 11 years, divided into w...
β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) is widely used as a component of pharmaceutical formulations, classically to improve the solubility and oral bioavailability of poorly water-soluble drugs through formation of drug/β-CD inclusion complexes. Unexpectedly, the association of the highly water-soluble drug meglumine antimoniate (MA) with β-CD turned this antimonial compound orally-active in a murine model o...
The evaluation of a SBR performance treating synthetic and fishery wastewater was performed. Without salt addition, COD and ammonia removal rates over than 50% were obtained, indicating the occurrence of the first nitrification step and COD removal. With 0.5% salt, removal rates lower than 60% were attained, for ammonia removal efficiency probably due to ionic strength changes and cellular plasmolysis leading t...
