Soybean insoluble fractions recovered from aqueous extraction processing (AEP) and enzyme-assisted AEP (EAEP) of full-fat soybean flakes (FFSF) and extruded FFSF were evaluated as a feedstock for the production of fermentable sugars using enzymes. Among the four insoluble fractions (AEP FFSF, EAEP FFSF, AEP extruded FFSF and EAEP extruded FFSF), the composition analysis revealed that the one re...

The optimal architecture of personal digital assistants (PDA) system for real-time 3D graphics was analyzed by simulating the 3D applications on the various Advanced RISC Machines (ARM) processor platforms. Simulation results show that for 256x256 screen resolution, even the performance of 200MHz StrongARM with 160MHz floating point unit (FPU) shows only 1.78 % of the requirement of full 3D pip...

In this study, cellulase, endoglucanase, and ?-glucosidase activity produced by three fungal strains (Aureobasidium pullulans, Neurospora crassa Trichoderma reesei) were determined on differently processed canola substrates [hexane extracted meal (HECM), washed HECM (WHECM), seed sprout (CSM)] in mono- co-culture fermentation under solid- submerged- state processes. Results showed that the inoc...

Nair C. D. Wait T. J. C. Ward P. Wu We describe the design of a dual-issue single-instruction, multipledata-like (SIMD-like) extension of the IBM PowerPCt 440 floating-point unit (FPU) core and the comp...

Cellulase and bovine serum albumin (BSA) were added to Avicel cellulose and solids containing 56% cellulose and 28% lignin from dilute sulfuric acid pretreatment of corn stover. Little BSA was adsorbed on Avicel cellulose, while pretreated corn stover solids adsorbed considerable amounts of this protein. On the other hand, cellulase was highly adsorbed on both substrates. Adding a 1% concentrat...

The aim of the present study was to compare bioethanol production from wet exploded corn stover (WECS) and loblolly pine (WELP) hydrolyzed with in-house and commercial enzymes and fermented separately (SHF) and simultaneously (SSF). In-house enzymes produced from Trichoderma reesei, RUT-C30 and a novel fungal strain, Aspergillus saccharolyticus were loaded as 5 and 15 FPU/g glucan and supplemen...

Nowadays digital circuits become more and more complex, and keep requiring higher performance and lower cost. To design a digital circuit, such as a floating-point unit (FPU), usually needs to explore a huge design space to optimize speed, power and area. However, there exists a fundamental tradeoff between these three metrics, and usually people want to find the Pareto optimal configurations c...

z990 floatingpoint unit G. Gerwig H. Wetter E. M. Schwarz J. Haess C. A. Krygowski B. M. Fleischer M. Kroener The floating-point unit (FPU) of the IBM z990 eServer is the first one in an IBM mainframe with a fused multiply-add dataflow. It also represents the first time that an SRT divide algorithm (named after Sweeney, Robertson, and Tocher, who independently proposed the algorithm) was used i...

Coastal Bermuda grass (CBG) is an agricultural residue with considerable potential as a feedstock for lignocellulosic-based ethanol. The treatment of biomass with water at high temperature, termed autohydrolysis, can be used to recover sugars in the filtrate and to improve enzyme digestibility of the pretreated solids. The effect of a twostage autohydrolysis process with respect to total sugar ...

Alkaline oxidation pretreatment was developed for spruce, birch and sugar cane bagasse. The reaction was carried out in alkaline water solution under 10 bar oxygen pressure and at mild reaction temperature of 120–140 C. Most of the lignin was solubilised by the alkaline oxidation pretreatment and an easily hydrolysable carbohydrate fraction was obtained. After 72 h hydrolysis with a 10 FPU/g en...
