Case study: energy savings for a deep-mine water reticulation system
(Elsevier, 2012)
In deep level mining, water reticulation systems are one of the major consumers of electricity. The refrigeration plants, together with the underground water supply and dewatering systems are integrated to form one complete ...
The mechanisms by which antidepressants may reduce coronary heart disease risk
(BioMed Central, 2015)
Background
Depression is known to increase the risk for coronary heart disease (CHD) likely through various pathogenetic actions. Understanding the links between depression and CHD and the effects of mediating these links ...
The use of variable speed drives for cost–effective energy savings in South African mine cooling systems
(Elsevier, 2013)
An industrial energy efficiency improvement through the introduction of modern technology is an important demand-side management initiative. Cooling systems on South African mines have been identified as large electricity ...
The mechanism by which moderate alcohol consumption influences coronary heart disease
(BioMed Central, 2015)
Background
Moderate alcohol consumption is associated with a lower risk for coronary heart disease (CHD). A suitably integrated view of the CHD pathogenesis pathway will help to elucidate how moderate alcohol consumption ...
How do high glycemic load diets influence coronary heart disease?
(BioMed Central, 2015)
Background: Diet has a significant relationship with the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). Traditionally the effect
of diet on CHD was measured with the biomarker for low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol. However, ...
Integrated energy optimisation for the cement industry: a case study perspective
(Elsevier, 2014)
Energy costs play a major role in the cement production process. As much as 60% of total cost is allocated
to energy and 18% to the consumption of electrical energy. Historically, energy cost savings were
achieved by ...
Influence of partial and complete glutamine-and glucose deprivation of breast-and cervical tumorigenic cell lines
(BioMed Central, 2015)
Background: Due to their high proliferative requirements, tumorigenic cells possess altered metabolic systems
whereby cells utilize higher quantities of glutamine and glucose. These altered metabolic requirements make it ...
Tumor cell culture survival following glucose and glutamine deprivation at typical physiological concentrations
(Elsevier, 2014)
Objective
Most glucose (and glutamine)-deprivation studies of cancer cell cultures focus on total depletion, and are conducted over at least 24 h. It is difficult to extrapolate findings from such experiments to practical ...
