The enriched community, designed rumen-wheat straw-derived consortium (RWS) efficiently hydrolyzed lignocellulosic biomass, degrading 55.5% w/w of raw wheat straw over 15 days at 35 °C and accumulating carboxylates as main products.
However, elderly subjects living with their families in an enriched community environment showed delayed and smaller rates of cognitive decline than elderly subjects living outside their families in the impoverished environment of long-term care institutions.
Every 2 weeks, fresh feedstock was inoculated with 10 wt % [g dry enriched sample (g total dry weight)−1] of the enriched community and transferred to a new bioreactor.
In the present study, we evaluated these subjects after the end of the intervention and compared the rate of age-related cognitive decline of those living in an enriched community environment (NI group, n=15, 74.1±3.9 years old) with those living in the impoverished environment of long-term care institutions (I group, n=20, 75.1±6.8 years old).
"EVER since Model T's first roamed the earth, attention-grabbing roadside curiosities — giant concrete dinosaurs, house-size artichokes and the like — have been luring drivers off the asphalt to enrich community coffers," Mike Stevens notes in Endless Vacation.
Our approach can be used for enriching community detection with word analysis, which provides the ability to automate the classification of communities in social networks and identify emerging social groups.
However you participate, by watching the talks, or watching TED live on a screen, or attending a TEDx event - you'll find an exciting and enriching community of ideas that's there for your exploration.
Each October community groups worldwide sponsor events that promote walking to school as a way of improving children's health, reducing traffic emissions, and enriching community life.
Enriching community life "Having water closer home has freed me up to do many other things, like weaving beads, making sure my children go to school, and also having some time to rest," says Naishoo Ole Mebarne.
It is equally possible to acknowledge that individuals enrich communities by virtue of their unique perspectives and critiques, and that these in fact contribute importantly to the cumulative understandings on which we all draw to live.
We identify particular qualities of participatory and collaborative design that foster the construction of meaningful connections among participants in the design process connections that have the potential to catalyze or strengthen the relationships, experiences, and understandings that contribute to enrich communities-in-place, and infrastructure community resilience in the process.
