the stoichiometric parameter namely “yield coefficient” associated with growth of certain organism can be determined by direct measurement and/or calculated indirectly. the focus of this paper was on the anoxic yield of heterotrophic organisms using ethanol as an external carbon source during the denitrification process. in the literature, it was observed that yield coefficients can vary for th...

ammonium carbonate and ammonium sulfate have been proposed and used as two new fuels for synthesizing gamma alumina nanoparticles. the prepared samples have been characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd), 2 n  adsorption (bet) and transmission electron microscopy (tem). a comparison has been made between the properties of the nanoparticles synthesized by these two fuels and other conventional fu...

the experiment was conducted to determine the effects of different photoperiods and darkness on the growth and survival of juvenile catla catla in the laboratory for 90 days. fishes were divided into four aquaria (10 fish per aquarium), and subjected to different photoperiod regimes of 8 hours light: 16 hours dark (8l:16d), 16 hours light: 8 hours dark (16l:8d), continuous light (24l:0d) and co...

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a simple connected graph. A perfect matching (or Kekul'e structure in chemical literature) of $G$ is a set of disjoint edges which covers all vertices of $G$. The anti-forcing number of $G$ is the smallest number of edges such that the remaining graph obtained by deleting these edges has a unique perfect matching and is denoted by $af(G)$. In this paper we consider some specifi...

background: brucellosis is still considered as one of the major zoonosis afflicting syrian health and economy. this disease is caused by members of the genus brucella which are gram-negative bacteria living facultatively within mammalian cells during infection. objectives: in this paper, a strategy was developed to introduce a new generation of binders called nanobodies (nbs) in our combat aga...

Let H0 be an arbitrary self-adjoint n × n matrix and H(n) be an n × n (random) Wigner matrix. We show that t 7→ Tr exp(H(n)−itH0) is positive definite in the average. This partially answers a long-standing conjecture. On the basis of asymptotic freeness our result implies that t 7→ τ(exp(a − itb)) is positive definite whenever the noncommutative random variables a and b are in free relation, wi...
