Appropriate hydrodynamic conditions are crucial in photobioreactors (PBR) order to prevent sedimentation of microalgal biomass and ensure the uniform exposure microalgae cells light nutrients. Hydrodynamic also important guarantee efficient mass transfer proper shear stress on transparent walls PBR, which can avoid formation undesired biofilm. Numerical simulations based Computational Fluid Dyn...

We present the application of the Planning by Rewriting (PbR) framework to query planning in distributed and heterogeneous environments. PbR is a new paradigm for e cient high-quality planning that exploits plan rewriting rules and e cient local search techniques to transform an easy-to-generate, but possibly suboptimal, initial plan into a high-quality plan. The resulting planner is scalable, ...

UNLABELLED Developing a PET ligand for imaging of the peripheral benzodiazepine receptor (PBR; Translocator Protein [18 kDa] TSPO) is of great importance for studying its role in glial cells in the injured brain and in neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease. The aim of this study was to synthesize and evaluate N-benzyl-N-ethyl-2-(7-(11)C-methyl-8-oxo-2-phenyl-7,8-dihydro-9H-pu...

Traditionally, data preservation and reliability have used error correcting codes (ECCs) to ensure data safety. The development of general data provenance tracking systems provides a new opportunity for data reliability. We present a method that utilizes provenance to determine a datum’s generating process and inputs, and then uses this information to recompute lost data. This method, called Pr...

The brewing sector is investigating the use of algae for CO 2 capture and wastewater treatment. Loofah-based biocomposites (composite materials comprising living or cyanobacteria immobilised to a loofah sponge support by latex polymer binder) were developed intensify biological as direct replacement conventional suspension cultures. This study presents simplified techno-economic analysis experi...

The application of a sensitive gas liquid chromatography (GLC) assay has enabled patients in different diagnostic groups to be differentiated on the basis of the ratio of the primary bile acids, cholic: chenodeoxycholic acid. Because this method is unsuitable for a routine clinical laboratory, the primary bile acid ratio (PBR) is determined by radioimmunoassay techniques (RIA), and the results ...

Within Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networking (VANET), i.e., networking between radio-equipped vehicles, unicast packet forwarding can be separated into the one-dimensional highway case and the two-dimensional city case. In this report, we survey the routing methods developed in the FleetNet [1] and Network-on-Wheels [2] projects plus a novel combination of two well-known methods called PBR-DV or Position...

Mooney viscosity is one of the important quality properties of polybutadiene rubber (PBR). It is important to implement appropriate measures to maintain and guarantee a uniform product quality required by the rubber processing industries. One major step towards quality assurance is the on line quality prediction of the product from the process parameters. This can be accomplished by developing ...
