Lemon processing procedures yield a significant amount of waste as peels, which are 57% processed lemons and represent possible source bioactive compounds (essential oils, EOs). EOs were extracted from lemon fruits belonging to four cultivars harvested at different sampling times (25 October, 23 November, 20 December, 1 February), characterized, quantified through gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.The chemical composition highlighted that 26 the ripening stages clearly identified. The...
Biological treatments focused on stabilizing and detoxifying olive mill wastewater facilitate agronomic reuse for irrigation fertilization. Anaerobic digestion is particularly attractive in view of energy recovery, but severely hampered by the microbial toxicity wastewater. In this work, addition biochar to mixture was studied improve stability efficiency anaerobic process. Kinetics yields biogas production were evaluated batch tests with concentrations ranging from 0 45 g L−1. The reduced...
Abstract Preconditioning (PC) is a phenomenon wherein mild insult induces resistance to later, severe injury. Although PC has been extensively studied in several neurological disorders, no studies have performed amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Here we hypothesize that sub-toxic acute exposure the cycad neurotoxin beta-methylamino-L-alanine (L-BMAA) able delay ALS progression SOD1 G93A mice and NCX3, membrane transporter handle deregulation of ionic homeostasis occurring during ALS,...
To make feasible the crewed missions to Moon or Mars, space research is focusing on development of bioregenerative life support systems (BLSS) designed produce food crops based in situ resource utilisation (ISRU), allowing reduce terrestrial input and recycle organic wastes. In this regard, a major question concerns suitability native regoliths for plant growth how their agronomic performance affected by additions matter from crew waste. We tested substrates consisting MMS-1 (Mars) LHS-1...
This study has contributed in the description of bioaugmentation-phytoremediation efficiency process using Typha angustifolia concerning PCP tolerance and removal from wastewater. Samples wastewater were collected industrial plants, namely row effluent "E.WW", primary "P.WW", secondary "S.WW", clarified "AC.WW". These effluents spiked with at different rate (100, 500, 1000 mg.L-1), physical, chemical biological properties monitored. A second experiment was set up order to check...
Digestates, a byproduct of the anaerobic bioconversion organic wastes for production biogas, are highly variable in chemical and biological properties, thus limiting their potential use agriculture as soil amendment. Using lab-scale glass reactor, we aimed to assess feasibility chemically stabilize solid fraction an digestate by applying Fenton reaction under constant pH (3.0), temperature (70 °C), time (8 h), various combinations H2O2 Fe2+. In Fenton-treated samples, phytotoxic (determined...
The aim of this study was the comparison two process in pentachlorophenol (PCP: 100 mg L-1) removal by combined bioaugmentation-adsorption and bioaugmentation-phytoremediation secondary treated wastewater (STWW). phytoremediation procedure conducted using plants such as Typha angustifolia Schoenoplectus acutus, bioaugmentation operated Pseudomonas putida HM 627618 a plant growth promoting bacteria (PGPR). adsorption performed palm date activated carbon. PCP monitoring assessed high...
Abstract Black carbon is also known as pyrogenic formed by partial combustion of organic material under limited oxygen supply. It occurs along a continuum from original slightly charred to highly aromatic residues such charcoal, graphite, and soot. extensively studied in various environments due its ubiquity. important for the biochar community because it can specifically trace stable polycondensed part biochar. Different methods have been adopted black determination; among them using...
Abstract The work was focused on the effect of bioaugmentation process STWW contaminated by pentachlorophenol (PCP: 100 mg L−1) Pseudomonas putida AE015451. monitoring treatments assessed chloride content determination via high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), optical density (OD) for microbial biomass determination, and pyoverdine biofilm production. a PGPR strain showed high-efficiency removal rate PCP (100 L−1). contaminant decreased up to 92% after 168 h. production formation...
Abstract It was found that benzenepolycarboxylic acids (BPCA) do naturally occur in soils. They can be assumed as black carbon degradation products. We propose an improved method to analyse products soil. Method optimization comprised extraction duration, sample clean‐up, and chromatographic separation conditions. The is also suitable for subsequent isotope ratio mass spectrometry of individual BPCA. Accuracy checked with quartz sand soil samples spiked known amounts In varying properties we...
Abstract Background: Cover cropping appears as a useful land management practice with numerous benefits for ecosystem functions. Aim: The objectives of this study were to determine the effects different winter cover crops on soil microbial biomass, activity, and community composition in intensively managed agriculture systems function crop diversity. Methods: For purpose, an on‐farm experiment was conducted at podzolized Stagnosol‐Cambisol during seven months growing oil radish single five...
Industrial symbiosis is being increasingly recognized as a valuable tool for promoting more sustainable production process in agriculture. The primary motivation implementing industrial economic viability. present study evaluates the benefits of an implemented “Piana del Sele”, rural area Southern Italy, spinach farmers. examines impact, terms crop yield, from use vermicompost, soil enhancer produced anaerobic digestion mixture buffalo slurry, olive mill wastewater, and milk whey....
In 29 symptomatic children of both sexes with chronic idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (CITP) platelet counts < or = 30,000/mm3, mean age 7.2 +/- 1.3 years, the side effects long-term glucocorticoid therapy were evaluated. Patients divided into three groups based on different protocols they receiving. Baseline measurements (t0) height (H) as standard deviation score (SDS), body mass index (BMI) kg/m2 and bone mineral density (BMD) at femoral neck (FBMD) lumbar spine L2-L4 (LBMD) by a dual...
Phosphorus availability and acid pH are major limiting factors for grass crop production in the Andisols of Southern Chile. Sustainable management requires both efficient use fertilizers recycling agricultural waste. The aim this study was to investigate effect citrus waste, alone or combination with beef cattle manure (CM), on phosphorus availability. Controlled laboratory incubations were carried out up six weeks. Lemon (L) mandarin (M) fruit wastes added an Andisol, amended not dried CM....
In homozygous beta thalassemic patients we examined the role played by interaction of ER gene polymorphisms with adverse environmental factors. A total 108 patients, 60 prepubertal mean age 9,5 +/- 3,7 years (27 M, 33 F) and 48 pubertal 22,2 5,4 (21 27 F), regularly treated red cell transfusion iron chelation therapy were segregated on basis their XbaI PvuII polymorphisms. Body mass index (BMI), lipidic pattern blood pressure values evaluated in each group. No significant differences...
