The PFT showed significantly lower values for AS patients compared to controls with regard to FVC% (97 vs 105, P < 0.001), FEV1% (90 vs 99, P < 0.001) and PEF% (95 vs 99, P = 0.05).
Phenol degradation was carried out by using EF, PEF, UV/TiO2, and PEF/TiO2 processes.
Statistical models describing microbial inactivation by PEF (R2 ≥ 0.91) were derived from the design.
A comparison of EF, PEF, UV/TiO2, and PEF/TiO2 processes for the removal of phenol solution was performed.
No statistical differences in resistance to PEF (26 kV/cm) (p > 0.05) were detected between S. aureus cells grown at 10, 20, 37, or 42 °C.
When fluorescent molecules are localized adjacent to metal surface, their fluorescence emission intensity can be altered enormously, forming the basis of plasmon enhanced fluorescence (PEF) [2].
Then, they were asked to come to room 2 where height (m), body mass (kg), and peak expiratory flow (PEF; l.min−1) were measured.
Ovalbumin challenge reduced FVC (63% reduction) and PEF (33% reduction) and increased wet (65% increase) and dry (51% increase) lung weights.
A higher reduction (P < 0.05) of S. aureus was achieved with a hurdle approach (UV; 46 °C (PEF inlet) and 58 °C (PEF outlet); PEF 40 kV cm−1 and 100 μs) in comparison to conventional pasteurisation (9.5 vs. 8.2 log10, respectively).
Synergistic reductions of the Salmonella Enteritidis population were observed when LWE samples containing additives were treated with PEF (25 kV/cm; 100 and 200 kJ/kg), heat (55 °C), or PEF followed by heat.
Kanan [15] estimates that by replacing the entire 15 M tonne year−1 PET market with PEF, 20 35 M tonne year−1 of CO2 would be saved from liberation to the environment.
