4-tert-Octylphenol (4-t-OP) was treated with the white rot fungus Phanerochaete sordida YK-624 under ligninolytic condition with low-nitrogen and high-carbon culture medium. 4-t-OP completely disappeared after 5 days of treatment and the activities of ligninolytic enzymes, laccase and manganese peroxidase (MnP), were detected during this period, thus suggesting that the disappearance of 4-t-OP ...

This paper describes two hybrid control laws for Hilare-type mobile robots, together with experimental veriication of their performance. The rst control is mathematically motivated. The second control is motivated by the geometry of the problem. While both controls are shown to regulate the robot to a speciied position and orientation, their performance is diier-ent. To evaluate the performance...

the purpose of this research was to study the antimicrobial activities of the endophytic fungi from sesbania grandiflora (l.) pers. the endophytic fungi were isolated from branches and leaves of sesbania grandiflora (l.) pers., and sixty nine isolates were obtained. all isolates were screened for antibacterial and antifungal activities. the indicator organisms were 4 bacteria including staphylo...

Yeasts that invade and colonise fruit significantly enhance the volatile chemical diversity of this ecosystem. These modified bouquets are thought to be more attractive to Drosophila flies than the fruit alone, but the variance of attraction in natural yeast populations is uncharacterised. Here we investigate how a range of yeast isolates affect the attraction of female D. melanogaster to fruit...

1 Abstract: In the frame of the FAST20XX project under the supervision of ESA, two hybrid rocket engines are developed at Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB) in collaboration with the Royal Military Academy of Belgium to assess the performance of paraffin/N2O propellants. The goal behind the study is to measure the regression rate and optimize the size of ALPHA, which is a sub-orbital vehicle d...

The degradation of most eukaryotic mRNAs is initiated by removal of the poly(A) tail, and the major deadenylase activity is associated with the CCR4/CAF1/NOT complex (NOT complex). We here study the role of CNOT10, a protein that is found in human and trypanosome, but not in yeast, NOT complexes. Trypanosome (Tb) CNOT10 is essential for growth. TbCNOT10 interacted with the deadenylase TbCAF1 an...

Yeast is one of the most important ingredients in bread making and, it may be isolated from local fruits such as sweet oranges a commercial yeast substitute. This research aimed to isolate orange (Citrus sinensis L) that used improver. The method was endophytic isolation on rind and flesh citrus fruits. It identified macroscopically, microscopically analyzed for carbohydrate fermentation, growt...

Two kinds of wavelet features are proposed: (a) Kirsch edge enhancement based 2D wavelets and (b) 2D complex wavelets. The two sets of hybrid features are congregated by combining them with the geometrical features for the recognition of handwritten numerals. Experiments conducted on handwritten numeral recognition and verification show that the two hybrid feature sets can achieve high recognit...

In this paper, we prove common fixed point theorems for two hybrid pairs of multivalued and single valued mappings on noncomplete metric spaces using the property (E.A). We improve the results of Damjanović et al [1] and several other authors.
