Pathway engineering for the production of aromatic compounds in Escherichia coli

The standard enzymatic assay for quantification of D-sorbitol in plasma was adapted to the automatic analyzer Cobas Mira S. In the assay, NAD (reagent) in the presence of sorbitoldehydrogenase (SDH; start reagent) converts D-sorbitol to fructose with formation of NADH, which was detected automatically as the difference between the first and last readings at 340 nm. The sample blank values for each specimen were subtracted to exclude both endogenous D-sorbitol and sugars, which also react as substrates for SDH. The method is simple, rapid (40 samples/h), precise down to endogenous concentrations (coefficient of variation < 5%; limit of determination: 0.38 mg/L) and linear up to 100 mg/L. Samples with higher D-sorbitol concentrations were estimated after dilution. The method was used to measure disposition curves of sorbitol in volunteers after a single intravenous dose of 0.8 g sorbitol.     

榆树林油田砂岩储层敏感性研究

榆树林油田储层粘土矿物含量较高，各种注入条件和施工条件都会对该储层造成相应的伤害，应采取相应的防护措施，为防止速敏的发生，储层的注水速度应控制在临界流速（1.0mL/min）以下，在油井转注时，可先注入1.09PV的含粘土稳定剂的进行处理，以提高产量或注入量，注入阴离子表面活性剂配置的活性水再注入地层水，不能增加地层水的渗透率，该项试验研究对指导榆树林油田的开发具有重要的意义。

Mass customization of medical devices and implants: state of the art and future directions

The medical field is one in which the need for customization can be clear cut, as providing tailored devices and implants for unique physiologies can provide for a better overall treatment than the use of 'off the shelf' devices and implants. Customization in the production of medical products can be roughly divided into consideration of medical devices, and of implantable parts or systems. The present paper outlines the current state of the art in both of these areas, presents details of projects that are ongoing at the University of Leeds and outlines future research directions.

Nutrient removal performance of an anaerobic–anoxic–aerobic process as a function of influent C/P ratio

The laboratory scale anaerobic–anoxic–aerobic (A²O) process fed with synthetic brewage wastewater was designed to investigate the effects of changing feed C/P ratio on the performance of biological nutrient removal (BNR) processes. In the experiment, the influent chemical oxygen demand (COD) concentration was kept at approximately 300 mg L^?1 while the total phosphorus concentration was varied to obtain the desired C/P ratio. Results showed that when the C/P ratio was lower than 32, phosphorus removal efficiency increased as C/P ratio increased linearly, while when the C/P ratio was higher than 32, the P removal efficiency was maintained at 90–98%, and effluent P concentration was lower than 0.5 mg L^?1. However, regardless of the C/P ratio, excellent COD removal (90% or higher) and good total nitrogen removal (75–84%) were maintained throughout the experiments. It was also found that very good linear correlation was obtained between COD uptake per unit P released in the anaerobic zone and C/P ratio. In addition, the P content in the wasted activated sludge increased with the decrease in the C/P ratio. Based on the results, it was recommended that the wastewater C/P ratio and its effects be incorporated into BNR design and operational procedures, appropriate C/P ratios were used to achieve the effluent treatment goals.
