The co-treatment of AMD with other common liquid wastes is a promising synergistic approach, fusing characteristics of active and passive AMD treatment for a sustainable remediation strategy. This paper discusses existing literature on AMD co-treatment approaches, focusing on factors that influence the feasibility of co-treatment, such as mixing proportions, microbiological elements, reactor design, and mixed-water chemistry. Finally, this paper highlights future possibilities, drawing attention to prospects that require exploration. 相似文献
An 18-Mbit CMOS pipeline-burst cache SRAM achieves a 12.3-Gbyte/s data transfer rate with 1.54-Gbit/s/pin I/O's. The SRAM is fabricated on a 0.18-μm CMOS technology. The 14.3×14.6-mm2 SRAM chip uses a 5.59-μm2, six-transistor cell. Circuit techniques used for achieving high bandwidth include fully self-timed array architecture, segmented hierarchical sensing with separated global read/write bitlines in different metal layers, a high-speed data-capture technique, a reduced-swing output buffer, and a high-sensitivity, high-bandwidth input buffer 相似文献
This paper offers an approach to model the coupled physics of structural mechanics, moisture diffusion, and heat conduction together with physical aging. The modeling is performed on a glassy polymer blend and hence incorporates the material viscoelastic behavior. Determination of the coupling coefficients, which link the governing equations of the mechanisms to each other, is particularly challenging. In this work, an estimation procedure has been used to determine the coupling coefficients, based on the experimental data reported in our recent papers. The effects of physical aging on mechanical stress–strain are also included using the shift factors, which were specified experimentally. The effect of physical aging on moisture diffusion is also modeled using a time-varying boundary condition. Experimental verification of the model shows that the developed model is capable of predicting the deflection of plastic parts subjected to hygrothermal conditions; i.e., conditions where moisture diffusion and physical aging phenomena are influential. 相似文献
OBJECTIVES: Prostate cancer recurrence, evidenced by rising prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels after radical prostatectomy, is an increasingly prevalent clinical problem in need of new treatment options. Preclinical studies have suggested that for tumors in general, settings of minimal cancer volume may be uniquely suitable for recombinant vaccine therapy targeting tumor-associated antigens. A clinical study was undertaken to evaluate the safety and biologic effects of vaccinia-PSA (PROSTVAC) administered to subjects with postprostatectomy recurrence of prostate cancer and to assess the feasibility of interrupted androgen deprivation as a tool for modulating expression of the vaccine target antigen, as well as detecting vaccine bioactivity in vivo. METHODS: A limited Phase I clinical trial was conducted to evaluate the safety and biologic effects of vaccinia-PSA administered in 6 patients with androgen-modulated recurrence of prostate cancer after radical prostatectomy. End points included toxicity, serum PSA rise related to serum testosterone restoration, and immunologic effects measured by Western blot analysis for anti-PSA antibody induction. RESULTS: Toxicity was minimal, and dose-limiting toxicity was not observed. Noteworthy variability in time required for testosterone restoration (after interruption of androgen deprivation therapy) was observed. One subject showed continued undetectable serum PSA (less than 0.2 ng/mL) for over 8 months after testosterone restoration, an interval longer than those reported in previous androgen deprivation interruption studies. Primary anti-PSA IgG antibody activity was induced after vaccinia-PSA immunization in 1 subject, although such antibodies were detectable in several subjects at baseline. CONCLUSIONS: Interrupted androgen deprivation may be a useful tool for modulating prostate cancer bioactivity in clinical trials developing novel biologic therapies. Immune responses against PSA may be present among some patients with prostate cancer at baseline and may be induced in others through vaccinia-PSA immunization. 相似文献
