Article Abstract
Three intermittent aeration aged refuse bioreactors (ARBs), A, B, and C, with aeration rates of 670, 1340, and 2010L/m aged refuse·d in stage 1, and 670, 503, and 335L/m aged refuse·d in stage 2 were constructed to evaluate the effect of low aeration rate on leachate treatment by simultaneous nitrification and denitrification (SND). Results show that SND can be achieved and improved by reasonably adjusting the aeration rate of the ARB. In stage 1, the average chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal rates of ARBs A, B, and C were 91%, 92%, and 93%, respectively. The ammonia nitrogen (NH-N) removal rate of the three ARBs approached 100%. The total nitrogen (TN) average removal rates were 68%, 59%, and 57%. The average SND efficiency values were 73%, 66%, and 65%. In stage 2, the COD removal rates of ARBs A, B, and C decreased from the original values of 85%, 92%, and 93% to 84%, 81%, and 80%. The NH-N removal rate decreased from above 99% to 90%-92% in ARB B and from above 99% to 87%-91% in ARB C. The TN removal rates of ARBs B and C increased to 59% and 53% on day 15 from the initial values of 49% and 43% and were maintained at 49%-61% and 50%-60%. The SND efficiency of ARBs B and C improved, and the average values were 68% and 70% after day 15. These values were higher than the 66% of ARB A during the same period. Comprehensively considering the COD, NH-N, TN removal rate, and SND efficiency, the optimal aeration rate of 670L/m aged refuse·d is therefore suggested in this study.

Synechococcus HS-9 is being recognized as one of the potential strains for biodiesel production due to its high levels of fatty acid methyl ester (FAME), which are around 70-78%. The first stage in producing microalgae biodiesel involves the biomass production process through a photobioreactor cultivation process. In addition to microalgae strains, the optimization of the photobioreactor's performance is essential for producing high biomass.

Background: Lung ultrasonography is being increasingly used in mechanically ventilated patients to evaluate the lung aeration during incremental positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) adjustments and to evaluate the weaning process from mechanical ventilation. The effects of PEEP may vary across different lung pathologies and may not consistently correlate with changes in lung aeration as assessed by lung ultrasound scores (LUSs).
Aim: To assess the role of lung ultrasonography in evaluating lung aeration during the application of PEEP in mechanically ventilated patients with various lung pathologies.

Sludge treatment reed beds (STRBs) are a sustainable and cost-effective approach to dewatering and mineralizing sewage sludge. While these nature-based solutions are robust and efficient in dewatering and stabilizing excess sludge, it is still unclear the fate of micropollutants in such technology and consequently, the quality of the final product biosolids that can be used as fertilizer, when legislation allows for it. The STRBs consisted of an area of 2.

Background: Delivery room trials face ethical and logistical enrolment challenges, including requirements for prospective, antenatal, parental consent. The Sustained Aeration of Infant Lungs (SAIL) study was a randomised controlled trial of two resuscitation strategies at birth, enrolling infants using both prospective antenatal consent and deferred postnatal (consent-to-continue) pathways. We aimed to compare recruitment and outcomes between SAIL trial centres with deferred consent available versus centres only using prospective antenatal consent.

A Digital Twin built around Activated Sludge Model No. 1 was deployed at a full-scale water resource recovery facility. Its design included a waste rate recommender system based on automatic scenario analyses, where influent loads and waste rates are varied to determine their impact on nitrification.
