(4) Rationality in procurement is compromised by disregard for AMR, with decisions driven more by cost and demand than clinical evidence. (5) The clinical acumen of pharmacists is underutilized in procurement due to multifarious barriers. …”

Converting Organic Municipal Solid Waste Into Volatile Fatty Acids and Biogas: Experimental Pilot and Batch Studies With Statistical Analysis by Hojjat Borhany

“…A t ResultsBoth HRTs were identical concerning the ratio of VFA/soluble chemical oxygen demand (0.88 kg/kg) and VFA weight ratio distribution: mainly, acetic acid (40%), butyric acid (24%), and caproic acid (17%). However, a significantly higher mean VFA content was confirmed for an HRT of 4.5 days than the quantity for an HRT of 3 days (30.77, SD 2.82 vs 27.66, SD 2.45 g–soluble chemical oxygen demand/L), using a tt8P443 ConclusionsThis research elaborates on the advantage of the refined novel line over the single-step anaerobic digestion and confirms its financial and technical feasibility. …”
