Adipsia is an uncommon, life-threatining condition which refers to an absence of thirst or an abnormal avoidance of fluid consumption. A behavioral intervention was successfully used in the treatment ...of severe adipsia in a multi-handicapped adolescent whose water intake was almost entirely limited to the water content of the foods he consumed. Using edible reinforcement and a set of commercial measuring utensils (from 1/4 teaspoon to 1 cup), milk consumption was established through a behavior shaping regimen. Follow-up results over 1 year indicated that the behavioral progress was maintained, problems with dehydration were eliminated, and stimulus generalization to several other fluids occurred.

A 6-L digester was used to investigate how lime affected anaerobic digestion of sweet cheese whey. The lime-buffered digester was operated at 6.40-, 4.20- and 3.25-day hydraulic retention times (RT). ...Calcium concentrations ranged from 5540 mg-L-1 at 6.40-day RT to 24 900 mg-L-1 at a 3.25-day RT. The digester had a COD reduction of 40 and 61% at RT of 3.25 and 6.40 days. The digester produced an average of 1790 L CH4.m-3.d-1, 13.9 times the average production of similar non-lime-buffered digesters, with an average of 82% CH4 in the biogas
