Development of Kinetic Parameterization Methods for Nitrifying Bacteria using Respirometry
… (DO) probe to measure relative oxygen uptake rates (OUR) within a batch reactor when varying substrates (ammonia and nitrite) were present in excess within the system. A forward model was developed based on Monod kinetics to simultaneously fit Monod curves to the experimental OUR data. These …

Sepsis Discharge Program: An Interdisciplinary Approach To Reduce Sepsis Readmissions
… data, the program success was based on the SDP’s utilization rate. In the 13-week project implementation, a total of 21 patients were enrolled in the SDP with an average utilization rate of 16%. Additionally, the pilot concluded that at least 92% of the providers indicated that the SDP effectively …

A comparison of sludge properties and kinetic differences between a pure oxygen system and a conventional system
… air activated sludge unit was also operated as a direct comparison. Settling tests were run in three different cylinders with increasing diameters to collect data on the sidewall effects in addition to the settling rates. The settling velocities were also calculated and the average …

Modeling dual-limitation kinetics incorporating intracellular cofactor responses
… ADP, and P$\sb{\rm i}$--are important co-substrates that can affect the rate of the cell's catabolic and respiratory reactions. Pure-culture experiments with Pseudomonas putida P$\sb{\rm p}$F1 performed in a special chemostat apparatus, using acetate as electron donor and O$\sb2$ as electron …

Kinetics and Mechanisms of Low-Concentration - Multisubstrate Utilization by Biofilms (Soluble Microbial Products, Steady-State Secondary, Oligotrophic Bacteria, Biodegradation of Trace Organics, Modeling)
… the effluent SOC was the residual original substrate. Intermediate microbial products (IMP), which were produced directly from substrate metabolism, were more important than metabolic end products (MEP), which were produced by basic metabolism. The steady-state concentrations of the effluent SMP …

The effect of lifestyle modification on the insulin-signaling cascade among subjects with impaired glucose tolerance
… of insulin receptor(IR-β), insulin receptor substrate(IRS)-1, Akt, and GSK-3 before and after insulin stimulation in subjects of normal control(n=15) and subjects with impaired glucose tolerance(n=14). We also assessed the protein level of atypical forms of protein kinase C(PKC-ξ/λ) and active …

A study of nitrate versus oxygen respiration in the activated sludge process
Utilization of the activated sludge process is widespread although many of the mechanisms involved are still relatively misunderstood. Incorporation of nitrate respiration (denitrification) into the activated sludge process can have many advantages, but little is known about microbial growth and …
