Encapsulation Response ofCiona intestinalis(Ascidiacea) to Intratunical Erythrocyte Injection
1997
Abstract Electron microscopic studies on the encapsulation induced by erythrocyte injection into the tunic of the ascidian Ciona intestinalis were carried out. The observations reported in the present paper complete the description previously given of capsule architecture and contribute to the characterization of the cells involved in the inflammatory reaction. The inflamed area is surrounded by an ample and peculiar “three-layered coat” respectively composed of flattened and packed extratunical hemocytes, the monolayered epithelium, and a layer of intratunical electron-dense particles. The latter are also clustered, variously arranged, and distributed in the tunic ground substance. The epi…

2020
Maģistra darba nosaukums ir „Projekts: granulu ražotnes dibināšana”. Paredzamais darbības uzsākšanas laiks ir 01.01.2021. Maģistra darba mērķis ir izveidot kokskaidu granulu ražotni vietējam tirgum, ar plānoto maksimālo ražošanas jaudu 12000 tonnas granulu gadā, kura 5 gadu laikā atpelnīs investētos 800000 EUR, iegūstot starptautisko ENPlus A1 granulu kvalitātes sertifikātu. Mūsdienās arvien vairāk cilvēku kā galveno apkures veidu izvēlas kokskaidu granulu apkures sistēmas, līdz ar to autors uzskata, ka projektā ražotam produktam būs perspektīva. Lai īstenotu projektu, ir plānots iegādāties bijušo zāģētavu Lielvārdes novada Lēdmanē. Lai īstenotu projektu, ir plānots iegādāties bijušo zāģēta…
Study of aerobic granular sludge stability in a continuous-flow membrane bioreactor.
2015
A granular continuous-flow membrane bioreactor with a novel hydrodynamic configuration was developed to evaluate the stability of aerobic granular sludge (AGS). Under continuous-flow operation (Period I), AGS rapidly lost their structural integrity resulting in loose and fluffy microbial aggregates in which filamentous bacteria were dominant. The intermittent feeding (Period II) allowed obtaining the succession of feast and famine conditions that favored the increase in AGS stability. Although no further breakage occurred, the formation of new granules was very limited, owing to the absence of the hydraulic selection pressure. These results noted the necessity to ensure, on the one hand the…
Mechanism of brittle fracture in a ductile 316 alloy during stress corrosion
1990
Abstract The ductile f.c.c. 316 alloy is shown to exhibit brittle transgranular (and intergranular) stress corrosion cracking in a 153°C MgCl2 solution at free corrosion potential. Tests on smooth and pre-cracked specimens are performed to identify the mechanisms of fracture. Transgranular cracking is related to both a discontinuous microcleavage mainly on {100} planes and a microshearing on {111} planes. A new physical modelization is proposed to explain the brittle transgranular cracking. It is based on the influence of the localized anodic dissolution on the enhancement of the plasticity at the crack tip. The formation of dislocation pile-ups and the conditions of restricted slip induce …
Simplified Model to Predict Runoff Generation Time for Well-Drained and Vegetated Soils
2016
The study of generation process of subsurface stormflow, typical of well-drained and high permeable soils, can be theoretically carried out by applying the continuity and the motion equations with the appropriate boundary conditions. However, difficulties and uncertainness on determining soil hydraulic properties and soil physics heterogeneities let this way not always feasible. In a different way, processes dynamic can be derived by the local scale through a coarse graining procedure, allowing to preserve medium motion character, while hydraulic fluctuation of the motion are lost. Following an approach as this, in this paper a simplified model to predict the runoff generation time, the so-…
Connecting Granular and Topological Relations through Description Logics
2021
Granularity deals with organizing in greater or lesser detail data, information, and knowledge that resides at a granular level. This organization is carried out according to certain criteria, which thereby provide a context view or dimension also called granular perspective. Topological relations express spatial associations among geospatial features (points, polylines, and polygons); they represent a horizontal spatial analysis. The two domains allow scientists to conceive different perspectives of the world. In this article, we aim to combine the two representations through Description Logics (DL) rules to relate granular (vertical representation) and geospatial topological (horizontal r…
Biological protective substances in Marthasterias glacialis (Asteroidea) epidermal secretion
1990
Marthasterias glacialis secretes a watery mucous liquid consisting of 14% carbohydrate and 86% protein. The mucous secretion possesses different biological active molecules responsible for lysozyme-like, protease and haemolytic activities. These substances could constitute a molecular barrier playing a protective role against the penetration by bacteria, fungi and parasites. The secretory apparatus consists of two unicellular glands, a large goblet cell and a granular cell, which open directly into the epidermis.
Estudio de la formación de biomasa granular en el tratamiento anaerobio de disolventes orgánicos en reactores de alta carga
2019
La contaminación atmosférica constituye uno de los principales problemas medioambientales en la actualidad, afectando a los ecosistemas y a la salud de los seres humanos a nivel mundial. Los compuestos orgánicos volátiles (COV), emitidos principalmente a partir del uso de disolventes en procesos industriales, contribuyen de manera importante a la contaminación atmosférica, razón por la cual, las industrias emisoras deben ajustarse a la normativa vigente, reduciendo sus emisiones y aplicando técnicas de control para el tratamiento y la eliminación de estos contaminantes atmosféricos. Las tecnologías biológicas se han mostrado eficaces a nivel técnico y económico para la depuración de las emi…

Single and competitive adsorption of Cd and Zn onto a granular activated carbon
1996
Single and competitive adsorption of cadmium and zinc onto granular activated carbon DARCO 12–20 mesh has been investigated. This activated carbon has been shown as an effective adsorbent for both metals. Cadmium and zinc removals increased with pH and decreased with molar metal/carbon ratio. Surface precipitation phenomena have been detected for the higher pHs and molar ratios. The adsorption process has been modelled on the surface complexation Triple Layer Model (TLM). For this purpose, the amphoteric nature of the activated carbon has been studied. Single metal adsorption data have been used to calibrate TLM parameters. A dependence of the adsorption constants on pH and molar metal/carb…
