materials and methods statistical and regressive modeling methods were used to investigate the effects of the carbon source and to optimize the production media. results the spinosad production of s. spinosa co121 increased 77.13%, from 310.44 ± 21.84 μg/ml in the initial fermentation medium (with glucose as the main carbon source) to 549.89 ± 38.59 μg/ml in a new optimized fermentation medium ...

The redox behavior cobalt chloride was studied voltammetrically in presence and absence of L- Carrageenan (LK) natural polymer using glassy carbon electrodes in 0.1 M KCl supporting electrode. Scan rates are studied for the redox behaviors for CoCl2 alone or in presence of L- Carrageenan (LK) natural polymer. Stability constants for the interaction of cobalt ions with L - Carageenan (LK) natura...

Beta-carotene is a valuable carotenoid in high demand as a natural food coloring agent, provitamin A, additive to cosmetics, and health food. It can be accumulated up to more than 10% of cellular dry weight of Dunaliella salina under carotenogenic conditions such as high irradiance, high temperature, high salt concentration and nutrient deficiency. High beta-carotene productivity in Dunaliella ...

Steady state natural convection of Al2O3-water nanofluid inside a square cavity filled with a porous medium is investigated numerically. The temperatures of the two side walls of the cavity are maintained at TH and TC, where TC has been considered as the reference condition. The top and the bottom horizontal walls have been considered to be insulated i.e., non-conducting and impermeable to mass...

Natural zeolite was used as a bed medium for plantation of lettuce seedlings and its effects on growth and chemical composition of red tilapia and lettuce were investigated in a pisciponic system. The place of study was the Aquatic Resources Technology Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture, at the University Putra Malaysia, in 2002. The mean individual weight and biomass of fish in the treatment w...

Natural gas storage process in aquifer, due to fluid flow behavior of gas and water in the porous medium and because of their contact with each other under reservoir conditions, faces several challenges. Therefore, there should be a clear understanding of the injected gas behavior before and after the injection into the reservoir. This research simulates the natural gas storage in aquifer by us...

Numerical study of double-diffusive natural convective heat transfer in a curved cavity filledwith a porous medium has been carried out in the current study. Polar system has beenselected as coordinate system. As a result, all equations have been discredited in r and θdirections. Brinkmann extended Darcy model has been utilized to express fluid flow inporous matrix in the enclosure. Smaller and...
