Biofilm Growth and Fossil Form

Dataset for analysing the relationships among economic growth, fossil fuel and non-fossil fuel consumption

The data presented in this article are related to the research article entitled 'Economic Growth, Fossil Fuel and Non-Fossil Consumption: A Pooled Mean Group Analysis using Proxies for Capital' (J. Asafu-Adjaye, D. Byrne, M. Alvarez, 2016) [1]. This article describes data modified from three publicly available data sources: the World Bank׳s World Development Indicators (http://databank.worldban...

Growth and form of spherulites.

Many structural materials (metal alloys, polymers, minerals, etc.) are formed by quenching liquids into crystalline solids. This highly nonequilibrium process often leads to polycrystalline growth patterns that are broadly termed "spherulites" because of their large-scale average spherical shape. Despite the prevalence and practical importance of spherulite formation, only rather qualitative co...

The effect of Lactobacillus reuteri cell free supernatant on growth and biofilm formation of Paenibacillus larvae

Background: Paenibacillus larvae is the etiological agent of American foulbrood (AFB) disease, the most lethal disease in honeybee (Apis mellifera) larvae. Aims: The aim of the present work was to study the antimicrobial effect of cell free supernatant (CFS) of probiotics on an Iranian isolate’s biofilm formation. Methods: A l...

Biofilm growth on medical implants with randomness

Biofilms are colonies of bacteria that attach to surfaces by producing extracellular polymer substances. They may cause serious infections in humans and animals, and also cause problems in hydraulic machinery. In this paper we model the growth of a biofilm established on a medical implant. We assume that the biofilm’s growth is given by a logistic reaction term with the growth rate being a rand...
