Using minced brain cortex from fetal and postnatal rats, we studied the incorporation of [14C]-valine into protein in the presence of insulin. We also assayed the “particle bound” and soluble hexokinase in these tissues. Insulin significantly stimulated the incorporation of [14C]-valine into brain proteins from fetal stage upto 2 days of life. After this period the insulin effect was minimal, with no effect by day 5. The “particle bound” (40,000g pellet) brain hexokinase, on the other hand, remained low till about 2 days of life and then increased to almost adult level by 5 days. Our results show that there is an inverse relation between this anabolic effect of insulin and the “particle bound” hexokinase activity in the cortex of developing rat brain.

BiOWiSHTM wastewater treatment formulations were tested for their ability to reduce the solids content of Dairy wastewater. Significant reductions in Total Suspended Solids (TSS) were observed with a single dose of these products. Particle size analysis shows that the BiOWiSH treatments reduce the size of suspended particles across the size range from 0.7 to 5.0 μm. Background: Our laboratory started working with BiOWiSH products in 2008-2009. Since 2010, we have been continuously working directly with BiOWiSH Technologies, Inc. on product development, product formulation, and product testing for wastewater bioremediation. During our tests, we have seen the additive effect of BiOWiSH’s technology on degradation and clarification of wastewater. For testing purposes, we selected treated waste from the California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly) Dairy lagoon. Dairy waste is generally recognized as one of the most difficult wastewaters to treat due to the presence of high amounts...

This article summarizes the geotechnical effects of the 25 April 2015 M 7.8 Gorkha, Nepal, earthquake and after-shocks, as documented by a reconnaissance team that undertook a broad engineering and scientific assessment of the damage and collected perishable data for future analysis. Brief descriptions are provided of ground shaking, surface fault rupture , landsliding, soil failure, and infrastructure performance. The goal of this reconnaissance effort, led by Geotechnical Extreme Events Reconnaissance, is to learn from earthquakes and mitigate hazards in future earthquakes.
