Clarifying the Role of Free Ammonia in the Production of Short-Chain Fatty Acids from Waste Activated Sludge Anaerobic Fermentation
(ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering, 2018)Free ammonia (FA) could accumulate at high levels in the sludge anaerobic fermentation, especially under alkaline fermentation conditions, which might significantly affect the anaerobic fermentation. However, its role in ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Free Ammonia Pretreatment To Improve Bio-hydrogen Production from Anaerobic Dark Fermentation of Microalgae
(ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering, 2019)Microalgae are third generation feedstocks for bio-hydrogen production to achieve a low carbon economy. Nevertheless, the bio-hydrogen production from microalgae is generally low. In this study, an innovative free ammonia ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Organ donation within the intensive care unit: A retrospective audit
(Australian Critical Care, 2019)BACKGROUND: Despite many Australians supporting organ donation, national posthumous organ donation rates have not increased as expected over the last three decades. Little is known about the barriers to organ donation for ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
N-acetyl cysteine in the treatment of alcohol use disorder in patients with liver disease: Rationale for further research
(Expert Opinion on Investigational Drugs, 2018)Introduction: Alcoholic liver disease (ALD) is the leading cause of alcohol-related death and one of the most common forms of liver disease. Abstinence from alcohol is crucial to reducing morbidity and mortality associated ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Can chronic stretching change the muscle-tendon mechanical properties? A review
(Scandinavian Journal of Medicine and Science in Sports, 2018)It is recognized that stretching is an effective method to chronically increase the joint range of motion. However, the effects of stretching training on the muscle-tendon structural properties remain unclear. This systematic ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
