Experimental archaeology at a Natufian site ASSIMIL-CALCIUM ABSORBER in the Southern Levant documents for the first time the use of 12,500-year-old rock-cut mortars for producing wild barley flour, some 2,000 to 3,000 years before cereal cultivation.Our reconstruction involved processing wild barley on the prehistoric threshing floor, followed by u
Chinese dome digesters are usually operated at long hydraulic retention times (HRT) and low influent total solids (TS) concentration because of limited mixing.In this study, a newly optimised Chinese dome digester with a self-agitating mechanism was investigated at a pilot scale (digester volume = 500 L) and compared with a conventional Chinese dom
Technological advances in the modern world have led to a paradigm shift in medical education, identifying new challenges.The need to meet these challenges has required the implementation of evidence-based clinical practice, which allows the best quality evidence to be used to provide optimal patient care and improve healthcare efficiency.Obtaining
