文摘This study evaluated the effect of potassium ferrate(PF)and low-temperature thermal hydrolysis co-pretreatment on the promotion of sludge hydrolysis process and the impact on acid production in the subsequent anaerobic digestion process.The analytical investigations showed that co-pretreatment significantly facilitated the hydrolysis process of the sludge and contributed to the accumulation of short-chain fatty acids(SCFAs).The pretreatment conditions under the optimal leaching of organic matter from sludge were hydrothermal temperature of 75℃,hydrothermal treatment time of 12 h,and PF dosage of 0.25 g g^(−1)TSS(total suspended solids),according to the results of orthogonal experiments.By pretreatment under proper conditions,the removal rate of soluble chemical oxygen demand(SCOD)achieved 71.8%at the end of fermentation and the removal rate of total phosphorus(TP)was 69.1%.The maximum yield of SCFAs was 750.3 mg L^(−1),7.45 times greater than that of the blank group.Based on the analysis of the anaerobic digestion mechanism,it was indicated that the co-pretreatment could destroy the floc structure on the sludge surface and improve organic matter dissolving,resulting in more soluble organic substances for the acidification process.Furthermore,microbial community research revealed that the main cause of enhanced SCFAs generation was an increase in acidogenic bacteria and a reduction of methanogenic bacteria.
文摘Owing to the recent trends in remote health monitoring,real-time appli-cations for measuring Heartbeat Rate and Respiration Rate(HARR)from video signals are growing rapidly.Photo Plethysmo Graphy(PPG)is a method that is operated by estimating the infinitesimal change in color of the human face,rigid motion of facial skin and head parts,etc.Ballisto Cardiography(BCG)is a non-surgical tool for obtaining a graphical depiction of the human body’s heartbeat by inducing repetitive movements found in the heart pulses.The resilience against motion artifacts induced by luminancefluctuation and the patient’s mobility var-iation is the major difficulty faced while processing the real-time video signals.In this research,a video-based HARR measuring framework is proposed based on combined PPG and BCG.Here,the noise from the input video signals is removed by using an Adaptive Kalmanfilter(AKF).Three different algorithms are used for estimating the HARR from the noise-free input signals.Initially,the noise-free sig-nals are subjected to Modified Adaptive Fourier Decomposition(MAFD)and then to Enhanced Hilbert vibration Decomposition(EHVD)andfinally to Improved Var-iation mode Decomposition(IVMD)for attaining three various results of HARR.The obtained values are compared with each other and found that the EHVD is showing better results when compared with all the other methods.
文摘Anthropometric variations can affect resting energy expenditure,VO_(2) max and anaerobic capacity of young,healthy individuals.Studies have shown that body fat percentage,weight,and height can all affect the three measures.The study aimed to study VO_(2) max and 24-hour thermogenesis measures in predominantly sedentary individuals and weight changes afterwards.VO_(2) max-associated research shows that taller individuals tend to have higher VO_(2) max levels compared to shorter individuals.This could be because taller individuals have a larger lung capacity and greater oxygen delivery to the muscles.Weight can also affect VO_(2) max,as heavier individuals tend to have higher VO_(2) max levels than lighter individuals.Weight is also associated with resting energy expenditure,as heavier individuals tend to have a higher resting energy expenditure than lighter individuals.The purpose of this study was to conduct a systematic review of the existing literature related to resting energy expenditure and metabolic effects of VO_(2) max,and anaerobic capacity in sedentary active adults of anthropometric variations.Several studies have recently examined the possibility of improving aerobic and metabolic functions ensuring cardiorespiratory fitness within the population of anthropometric variations.Everyday physical activity and heredity ability influenced mainly the gold standard measuring tool for cardiorespiratory fitness,VO_(2) max,predicting mortality and morbidity.Weight gain has also been shown to be associated with lower cardiorespiratory fitness,regardless of physical activity levels.The VO_(2) max may have a different effect on energy balance apart from physical activity’s energy expenditure(EE),possibly by affecting the resting metabolic rate(RMR)or triggering a common mechanism associated with diet-induced thermogenesis.Weight change is predicted by sedentary energy expenditure,but directly measured VO_(2) max does not appear to be correlated with weight change.The relationship between resting energy expenditure,VO_(2) max,and anaerobic capacity in individuals is complex.Resting energy expenditure is directly related to anaerobic capacity,as it is an indicator of the body’s ability to work anaerobically.VO_(2) max is also related to anaerobic capacity,as it reflects the body’s maximal aerobic power.However,the strength of this relationship is not known.Overall,both resting energy expenditure and VO_(2) max are important determinants of anaerobic capacity in individuals and are worth considering when evaluating an individual’s anaerobic potential.
文摘污水处理过程中会产生大量剩余污泥,对剩余污泥进行厌氧消化处理既能减少环境污染,又能回收能源。本文基于文献计量学方法和可视化工具,对中国知网(CNKI)数据库和Web of Science核心数据库2003—2023年间收录的相关文章进行梳理,对当前剩余污泥厌氧消化处理的研究热点领域进行比较分析,并对剩余污泥成分、理化特性和厌氧消化预处理方法进行文献综述。研究表明,剩余污泥厌氧消化产生甲烷是该处理技术的重要目的,预处理技术与剩余污泥处理存在重要关联性;物理、化学和生物酶等不同预处理技术对产沼气量有较大影响,针对污泥本身的理化性质而采用更加合适的预处理技术,能够在节约成本的同时进一步提高剩余污泥资源化利用程度。
