Ramlan et al.This research emphasizes on the utilization of Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) sludge, which is an inexpensive and easily available raw material and a good source for growth of microorganisms because it has enough nutrients and trace elements. This can be considered as an alternative cost effective solution for waste management in addition to the production of a value added product … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2005 · 8,933 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGender Differences in Baseline Levels of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor in the Plasma of Alaskan Sled DogsScott W. Kemp, Arleigh J. Reynolds, Lawrence K. DuffyAngiogenesis and vasculogenesis are two very important processes in the development and maintenance of mammalian health. In sled dogs, the angiogenic role is to supply and support tissue with ample vasculature, thus providing a route of access for the transportation of essential nutrients, including oxygen and the removal of waste in a sustained fashion. VEGF has been shown to be … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,318 accessesView PDF Cite
