Adaptability of Soil pH through Innovative Microbial Approach

Survivability through Customization and Adaptability: The Cactus Approach

Survivability, the ability of a system to tolerate intentional attacks or accidental failures or errors, is becoming increasingly important with the extended use of computer systems in society. While techniques such as cryptographic methods, intrusion detection, and traditional fault tolerance are currently being used to improve the survivability of such systems, new approaches are needed to he...

the effect of functional/notional approach on the proficiency level of efl learners and its evaluation through functional test

in fact, this study focused on the following questions: 1. is there any difference between the effect of functional/notional approach and the structural approaches to language teaching on the proficiency test of efl learners? 2. can a rather innovative language test referred to as "functional test" ge devised so so to measure the proficiency test of efl learners, and thus be as much reliable an...

Preliminary assessment of microbial-based soil additives

Variations in microbial community composition through two soil depth profiles

Soil profiles are often many meters deep, but with the majority of studies in soil microbiology focusing exclusively on the soil surface, we know very little about the nature of the microbial communities inhabiting the deeper soil horizons. We used phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) analysis to examine the vertical distribution of specific microbial groups and to identify the patterns of microbial ...

Modeling pH effects on microbial growth: a statistical thermodynamic approach.

This paper applies a statistical thermodynamic approach to the kinetics of microbial growth influenced by pH. A general equation is developed and shown to provide a good theoretical basis for the existing pH models that have been widely used to describe the effects of pH on microbial growth kinetics. Four experimental data sets are used to test the general equation developed. The four data sets...
