Efficiency of Daphnia magna in removal of green microalgae cultivated in Nordic recirculating aquaculture system wastewater
2020
The increase of global aquaculture production has boosted the development of recirculating aquaculture systems not only because they reduce water use but also provide opportunities for waste management and the use of released nutrients. The dissolved nutrients can be efficiently removed from recirculating aquaculture system wastewater by microalgae, and microalgae can be harvested from the wastewater with low costs by zooplankton such as Daphnia. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of using microalgae and Daphnia for bioremediation of recirculating aquaculture system wastewater in Nordic conditions. We evaluated the growth and filtration efficiency of the waterflea Dap…
Prenatal air pollution exposure and growth and cardio-metabolic risk in preschoolers
2020
Objectives: We investigated the association between outdoor air pollutants exposure in the first trimester of pregnancy, and growth and cardio-metabolic risk at four years of age, and evaluated the mediating role of birth weight. Methods: We included mother-child pairs (N = 1,724) from the Spanish INMA birth cohort established in 2003-2008. First trimester of pregnancy nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and fine particles (PM2.5) exposure levels were estimated. Height, weight, waist circumference, blood pressure, and lipids were measured at four years of age. Body mass index (BMI) trajectories from birth to four years were identified. Results: Increased PM2.5 exposure in the first trimester of pregnanc…
Adipose Stromal/Stem Cell-Derived Extracellular Vesicles: Potential Next-Generation Anti-Obesity Agents
2022
Over the last decade, several compounds have been identified for the treatment of obesity. However, due to the complexity of the disease, many pharmacological interventions have raised concerns about their efficacy and safety. Therefore, it is important to discover new factors involved in the induction/progression of obesity. Adipose stromal/stem cells (ASCs), which are mostly isolated from subcutaneous adipose tissue, are the primary cells contributing to the expansion of fat mass. Like other cells, ASCs release nanoparticles known as extracellular vesicles (EVs), which are being actively studied for their potential applications in a variety of diseases. Here, we focused on the importance …
SIC & intelligence territoriale: analyse sémiotique du site internet de l'observatoire CATALYSE INTEGRA PLUS
2005
International audience; Les observatoires d'Intelligence Territoriale "Catalyse" sont des dispositifs au service de la médiation sociale et de la médiatisation de l'intervention sociale, où l'information et la communication jouent un rôle fondamental. Les sites internet qui les instrumentent permettent d'élaborer une approche communicationnelle innovante entre acteurs, citoyens, et monde politique, et de structurer une construction collective des connaissances et des actions territoriales.L'exemple de l'observatoire Catalyse Intégra Plus (http://www.integraplus.be) à Durbuy (Belgique)permet d'aborder, par l'analyse sémiotique de son site internet, l'organisation de l'observation territorial…
Promotion of school engagement through dialogic teaching practices in the context of a teacher professional development programme
2021
This study was conducted in the context of a teacher professional development programme that aimed to improve dialogic teaching in the classroom, and it describes the programme and examines the change in teachers' dialogic teaching practices and pupils' classroom engagement during the programme. Data on pupils' school engagement were collected using classroom video recordings and students' self-ratings at the end of the lesson including dialogic teaching practices. The participants comprised seven in-service teachers and their 140 pupils (10- to 15-year-olds) from two comprehensive schools. The findings indicated positive change in the use of dialogic teaching practices and in observed pupi…
Rich clusters from SDSS DR8
2012
The study of the properties of galaxy clusters and their environment gives us information about the formation and evolution of galaxies, groups and clusters, and larger structures - superclusters of galaxies and the whole cosmic web. We study the relations between the multimodality of galaxy clusters drawn from the SDSS DR8 and the environment where they reside. As cluster environment we consider the global luminosity density field, supercluster membership, and supercluster morphology.
Baryon Acoustic Oscillations in LRGs
2012
Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO) have been previously detected using correlation functions and power spectra of the galaxy distribution. In this work, we present a new method for the detection of the real-space structures associated with this feature. These baryon acoustic structures are spherical shells with a relatively small density contrast, surrounding high density central regions. We design a specific wavelet adapted to the search for shells, and exploit the physics of the process by making use of two different mass tracers, introducing a specific statistic to detect the BAO features. We apply our method to the detection of BAO in a galaxy sample drawn from the Sloan Digital Sky Sur…
REFLEX galaxies redshifts
2009
We present the final data from the spectroscopic survey of the ROSAT-ESO Flux-Limited X-ray (REFLEX) catalogue of galaxy clusters. The REFLEX survey covers 4.24 steradians (34% of the entire sky) below a declination +2.50{deg} and at high galactic latitude (|b|<20{deg}). The full survey includes 447 galaxy clusters with a median redshift of 0.08 and is better than 90% complete to a limiting flux of f_X_=3x10^-12^ergs/s/cm^2^ (3fW/m^2^, 0.1 to 2.4keV), representing the largest statistically homogeneous sample of clusters to date drawn from the ROSAT All-Sky Survey (RASS). Here we describe the details of the spectroscopic observations carried out at the ESO 1.5m, 2.2m and 3.6m telescopes, the…
Wykorzystanie stopu Ni-Co jako katalizatora katody w jednokomorowym mikrobiologicznym ogniwie paliwowym
2017
Technologią, która wykorzystuje ścieki jako surowiec, zapewniając jednocześnie ich oczyszczanie oraz produkcję prądu, jest technologia mikrobiologicznych ogniw paliwowych. Technologia ta postrzegana jest jako wspomaganie tradycyjnego oczyszczania ścieków. Jednym z podstawowych problemów związanych z mikrobiologicznymi ogniwami paliwowymi jest niewielka ilość produkowanej energii elektrycznej. Gęstość prądu zależy od szybkości zarówno reakcji anodowych, jak i katodowych. Celem pracy było wykazanie możliwości wykorzystania stopu Ni-Co jako katalizatora elektrody tlenowej w jednokomorowym mikrobiologicznym ogniwie paliwowym. Badania objęły pomiary szybkości rozkładu H2O2 na analizowanym katali…
