Mechanism of Estruction of Microtubule Structures by 4-Hydroxy-2-Nonenal.
A major end product of lipid peroxidation, 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE), is an electrophilic alkenal and produces Michael adducts with cellular proteins. It is known that exposure of cultured cells to HNE causes rapid disappearance of microtubule networks. In this study we addressed the mechanism. Immunochemical studies […]

ATF6 is a Transcription Factor Specializing in the Regulation of Quality Control Proteins in the Endoplasmic Reticulum.
Eukaryotic cells cope with endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress by activating the unfolded protein response (UPR), a coordinated system of transcriptional and translational controls, which ensures the integrity of synthesized proteins. Mammalian cells express three UPR transducers […]

Fouling and its reversibility in relation to flow properties and module design in aerated hollow fibre modules for membrane bioreactors.
Nowadays, most membrane bioreactors are using membranes submerged in the biomass and aeration in the concentrate compartment to limit or to control fouling. An important issue for the design of modules or membrane […]

Effect of peracetic acid, ultraviolet radiation, nanofiltration-chlorine in the disinfection of a non conventional source of water (Tula Valley).
Water supply for human consumption requires certain quality that reduces health risks to consumers. In this sense, the process of disinfection plays an important role in the elimination of pathogenic microorganisms. Even though chlorination […]

Evaluation of innovative operation concept for flat sheet MBR filtration system.
One of the most limiting factors for the extension and acceptance of MBR filtration systems for municipal and industrial wastewater is the impact of membrane fouling on maintenance, operation and cleaning efforts. One field of action in the European Research Project \”AMEDEUS\” […]

Role of dissolved humic substances surrogates on phthalate esters migration from sewage sludge.
The facilitated transport of dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), the priority endocrine disrupting chemicals in sludge, by dissolved humic substances (HS) was evaluated by batch extraction. The DBP, much less hydrophobic than DEHP, was inclined to migrate from […]

Characteristics of membrane fouling in submerged membrane bioreactor under sub-critical flux operation.
Recently, the membrane bioreactor (MBR) process has become one of the novel technologies to enhance the performance of biological treatment of wastewater. Membrane bioreactor process uses the membrane unit to replace a sediment tank, and this can greatly enhance treatment performance. […]

Microbial characteristics of biogas.
The microbial diversity of biogas was analyzed in order to examine the aerosolization behavior of microorganisms. Six biogas samples were analyzed: five from mesophilic and thermophilic anaerobic digestors treating different wastes, and one from landfill. Epifluorescent microscopic counts revealed 10(6) prokarya m(-3). To assess the difference occuring in aerosolization, […]
