In this study, the growth of Arcobacter butzleri in poultry was evaluated as a function of storage temperature (5, 22.5, and 40°C), pH (5, 7, and 9), and NaCl concentration (0, 4, and 8%). A predictive model was developed using the absorbance-based response surface methodology to describe the growth rate. The primary model was obtained to predict a growth rate with a good fit (R2≥0.95), and the...

This paper investigates Factored Markov Decision Processes with Imprecise Probabilities (MDPIPs); that is, Factored Markov Decision Processes (MDPs) where transition probabilities are imprecisely specified. We derive efficient approximate solutions for Factored MDPIPs based on mathematical programming. To do this, we extend previous linear programming approaches for linear approximations in Fac...

a new mixed  halo chromate  nanoparticle compound was synthesised and characterized. triphenylphosphonium trifluoroiodochromate (iii)[p(c6h5)3h]+[crf3i]- nanoparticle was synthesized by using triphenylphosphonium  iodide reaction with crf3, in the presence of  3-mercaptopropionic acid. this method is a simple and direct method. the product was characterized by spectroscopic and analytical metho...

Background: Neurotransmitter release is an essential link in cell communication of the nervous system. Many investigations have focused on gamma amino butyric acid (GABA)-ergic neurotransmission, because it has been implicated in the pathophysiology of several central nervous system disorders. To bypass complications related to homo- and heterosynaptic modulation and to avoid indirect interpret...

Hexahydro-3-alkyl-3H-oxazolo[3,4-a]pyridines 4–15 for the quantitative analysis of various aldehydes were obtained in good yield via condensation reaction 2-hydroxymethylpiperidine (2-HMP) with under mild conditions. When acrolein was used, bicyclic 17 obtained. This novel compound has suitable physical characteristics an analytical standard. The hexahydro-3-vinyl-3H-oxazolo[3,4-a]pyridine 16 c...

The study investigated the corrosion-inhibitory properties of three synthetic triazole Mannich bases on C1018 carbon steel using various electrochemical techniques. inhibitors, namely 4-amino-2-[(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)methyl]-5-(pyridin-4-yl)-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thione (4MPT), 4-amino-2-[(piperidin-1-yl)methyl]-5-(pyridin-4-yl)-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thione (PPT) and 4-ami...
