steady state and dynamic fermentations of baker's yeast in molasses based media were analyzed in a laboratory scale bioreactor. sugar and biomass balances together with the monod biokinetics were used to develop the process model. parameters of the model were obtained using collected experimental data. model predicted open loop responses to step changes in feed concentration as well as dilution...

introduction: diabetes mellitus (dm) is now seen as a worldwide epidemic disease with high prevalence. exercise training (et) is known to promote beneficial changes in diabetic patients. the aim of this study was to compare the impact of continuous and intermittent aerobic training on glucose-4 transporter protein (glut-4) levels and insulin sensitivity in diabetic rats. materials and methods: ...

heat transfer mechanisms and the solidification process are simulated for a continuous casting machine and the geometric shape of the liquid pool is predicted considering different conditions. a heat transfer and solidification model is described for the continuous casting of steel slabs. the model has been established on the basis of the technical conditions of the slab caster in the continuou...

Potholes are features with no evident natural outlet, formed in hydric landscapes, such as the Prairie Pothole Region (PPR). Potholes are commonly under cropland management, which is not consistent with their hydrological patterns since periodic flooding during the growing season is frequent. Although there are studies investigating undisturbed and/or restored potholes, there is limited informa...

Despite the impact of flow cessation on aquatic ecology, hydrology intermittent rivers has been largely overlooked. This resulted in a lack monitoring projects, and consequently, datasets spanning period sufficient duration to characterise both hydrological extremes. report documents an investigation into potential for statistical modelling simulate spatiotemporal dynamics flowing, ponded dry s...

The notion of contra continuous functions was introduced and investigated by Dontchev. In this paper, we apply the notion of $beta^{*}$-closed sets in topological space to present and study a new class of functions called contra $beta^{*}$-continuous and almost contra $beta^{*}$-continuous functions as a new generalization of contra continuity.

saturated hydraulic conductivity (ks) is one of the most important physical features of soil that have wide usage in soil and water science. measuring ks carries on laboratory and field. guelph permeameter (gp) method is one of the field measuring method for determining field saturated hydraulic conductivity (kfs) above the ground water table. well-shape-factor (c) is one important parameter ne...

and canyon sediments in several canyon reaches are contaminated with low-levels of radionuclides from hisFollowing the May 2000 Cerro Grande fire at Los Alamos, NM, toric LANL operations (Reneau et al., 1998). To mitisurface water control structures were constructed near Los Alamos to mitigate the transport of contaminant-bearing sediment toward the gate potential off-site migration of these se...

Every project team expects their project management to be automated and robust. With advancements in automation technologies, one can think of automating the manual built infrastructures like storage servers, project servers and deployments on those servers. We can achieve this automation of Infrastructure and build a continuous delivery pipeline which accelerates the speed of project developme...

a full scale physical model of a thin slab caster with a four-hole design submerged entry nozzle (sen) was constructed. on the basis of the dimensionless reynolds and froude similitude criteria, the fluid flow in a full-scale model is similar to that of the actual system and, hence, the data obtained from the water model can be applied to the actual system. in order to determine the optimum ope...
