Abstract For the first time, micromixing characterization for Villermaux–Dushman reaction could be performed with a non-reactive viscous medium at viscosities up to 2 Pas. As medium, sucrose solution was used benefit of being Newtonian fluid tuneable viscosity. Due higher in comparison established media investigations, new protocol experimental implementation developed. Micromixing experiments ...

UNLABELLED BACKGROUND Enzymes in low water containing non aqueous media are useful for organic synthesis. For example, hydrolases in such media can be used for synthetic purposes. Initial work in this area was carried out with lyophilized powders of enzymes. These were found to have poor activity. Drying (removing bulk water) by precipitation turned out to be a better approach. As enzymes in...

Research was carried out to evaluate composted olive-mill waste as a peat substitute in foliage potted plant production. Rooted cuttings of Codiaeum variegatum (L.) A. Juss and Syngonium podophyllum Schott were grown for 5 months and Ficus benjamina L. for 10 months in media containing olive-mill waste compost (OWC), sphagnum peat and perlite in 1:3:4, 1:1:2, and 3:1:4 ratio (by volume), respec...

The precipitation of chromium(III), copper(II), manganese(II) and zinc(II) by biogenic hydrogen sulfide generated by sulfate-reducing bacteria, Desulfovibrio sp., and the degradation of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) in the presence of heavy metal by Pseudomonas aeruginosa AT18 have been carried out. An anaerobic stirred tank reactor was used to generate hydrogen sulfide with Desulfovibrio ...

It has long been known that gastric mill network activity (cycle period 5-10 s) alters pyloric network output (cycle period approximately 1 s), but these effects have not been quantified. Many pyloric muscles extract gastric mill timed variations in pyloric motor neuron firing, and consequently produce gastric mill timed movements even though no gastric mill neurons innervate them. Determining ...

Discrete Element Method (DEM) is a powerful tool for simulating different types of mills. It also used computing particles such as rocks, grains, and molecules. DEM has been widely in the field rock mechanics. In present work, DEM approach applied to model milling media (powder balls) inside planetary ball mill estimate distribution dry powder during milling. fact, efficiency DEM strongly depen...

who by the time he had passed his final medical examination at the age of 40 had been a steel mill melter, a locomotive fireman, a barman, an insurance salesman, and a whisky pedlar, and also a medical student (off and on) for 18 years. After obtaining his qualification in 1948 he spent some time working at a general hospital, and this was followed by a highly successful period as a family doctor.

Simultaneous endoscopic and electrophysiological recordings were used to observe the behavior of the gastric mill complex while recording the motor output of the stomatogastric ganglion (STG) in intact crabs. In the crab STG, many pattern-generating neurons are able to fire in several distinct rhythmic motor patterns. Specifically, many neurons can switch between firing in time with the rapid p...

The management of cane supply from growers’ fields to the mill involves many stakeholders and many tasks to be carried out along the chain, the successful combination of which impacts on the efficiency and profitability of the mill area. A simulation tool called MAGI has been developed to assist millers and growers in designing and assessing new ways of organising supply management. The issues ...
