Thermal cracking of a heavy liquid hydrocarbon was performed in a laboratory scale tubular reactor. Central Composite Design (CCD), was used as an experimental design method. The design variables were Coil Outlet Temperature (COT), feed flow and rate steam ratio. Maximum yield of ethylene was 30.37 wt% at COT, residence time and steam ratio of 869oC, 0.208 s and 1.22 g/g, respect...

The paper contains results that characterize the Donkin–Koppinen filtration of coordinate superalgebra K[G] general linear supergroup G = GL(m|n) by its subsupermodules CΓ OΓ(K[G]). Here, supermodule is largest subsupermodule whose composition factors are irreducible supermodules highest weight ⋋, where ⋋ belongs to a finitely-generated ideal Γ poset X(T)+ dominant weights G. A decomposition as...

Known complexity facts: the decision problem of the existence of a kernel in a digraph G = (V,E) is NP-complete; if all of the cycles of G have even length, then G has a kernel; and the question of the number of kernels is #P-complete even for this restricted class of digraphs. In the opposite direction, we construct game theory tools, of independent interest, concerning strategies in the prese...

Hericium erinaceus (HE) is a large edible medicinal fungus. Erinacine A (ErA) secondary metabolite presented in the mycelia of HE, with pharmacological effects as nerve growth factor on central nervous system. In this study, solid-state cultivation HE was carried out Petri dishes and glass jars for production mycelial biomass ErA. The potato dextrose agar (PDA) had highest at an optimal tempera...

Multiple kernel learning (Mkl) uses a convex combination of kernels where the weight of each kernel is optimized during training. However, Mkl assigns the same weight to a kernel over the whole input space. Localized multiple kernel learning (Lmkl) framework extends the Mkl framework to allow combining kernels with different weights in different regions of the input space by using a gating mode...

In this paper we consider (1) the weights of integration for which the reproducing kernel of the Bergman type can be defined, i.e., the admissible weights, and (2) the kernels defined by such weights. It is verified that the weighted Bergman kernel has the analogous properties as the classical one. We prove several sufficient conditions and necessary and sufficient conditions for a weight to be...

Kernel methods have been successfully applied to many machine learning problems. Nevertheless, since the performance of kernel methods depends heavily on the type of kernels being used, identifying good kernels among a set of given kernels is important to the success of kernel methods. A straightforward approach to address this problem is cross-validation by training a separate classifier for e...

Ninety male crossbred pigs were allocated at 30 kg live weight to a 6 5 factorial experiment involving six diets and five levels of feeding where average daily intakes were 1.11, 1.36, 1.67, 1.90 kg and ad libitum between 30 and 60 kg live weight. The control diet contained predominantly animal protein sources, another four diets contained 350 g/kg of either kernels or seeds of either L. angust...
