نویسندگان
چکیده
In this work we present a device specifically designed to study microbial growth with several applications related to environmental microbiology and other areas of research as astrobiology. The Automated Measuring and Cultivation device (AMC-d) enables semi-continuous absorbance measurements directly during cultivation. It can measure simultaneously up to 16 samples. Growth curves using low and fast growing microorganism were plotted, including: Escherichia coli, and Haloferax volcanii, an halophilic archaeon.

Simultaneous Spectrophotometric Estimation of Atorvastatin Calcium and Amlodipine Besylate in Tablet Dosage Forms
A simple and economical dual wavelength spectrophotometric method has been developed for the simultaneous estimation of atorvastatin calcium and amlodipine besylate in their combined dosage forms. The method was based on property of additivity of absorbances. The two wavelengths on amlodipine besylate curve were found out where it showed same absorbance, which were 257.4 and 360.0 nm. At 360.0 ...

The average velocity of water flow has been simultaneously measured with fluorescent and speckle imaging methods. The measured velocities with two methods are in good agreement with each other and it confirms that the speckle imaging method can be used as a confident method to measure the velocity of water flow in a dry leaf. Also the velocity of water flow through thick and thin xylems of a le...

متن کاملA method for bubble volume measurement under constant flow conditions in gas–liquid two-phase flow
Measuring the volume of a bubble, especially at its detachment, is a basic subject in gas-liquid two-phase flow research. A new indirect method for this measurement under constant flow conditions is presented. An electronic device is designed and constructed based on laser beam intensity. This device calculates the frequency of the bubble formation by measuring the total time of the formation p...
