The effect of zinc, copper, and iron levels on production of ochratoxin A by Aspergillus ochraceus Wilhelm in a synthetic medium in a shake culture was investigated. Optimal concentrations of ZnSO(4), CuSO(4), and FeCl(3) for ochratoxin A production were 0.055 to 2.2 mg/liter, 0.004 to 0.04 mg/liter, and 1.2 to 24 mg/liter, respectively. Zinc and copper levels greater than optimum reduced the r...

500 Abstract— This research aims to improve the plant layout of manufacturing industry to make optimum space utilization, eliminate obstructions in material flow and thus obtain maximum productivity. The present layout and operation process of each section (i.e. material storage, cutting, machining shop, fabrication shop, assembly and inspection section and finish product storage) have been inv...

Managing and utilizing storage resources have resulted in complexity because of the heterogeneous nature of storage infrastructures. Paper elucidates that Virtual Private Network created in the Wireless Public Network would have implemented virtualization and would result in enhancement of productivity and efficient management of storage infrastructures. Proof is generated that Virtual environm...

This paper describes an edge-to-edge dynamic resource provisioning and admission control process over multiple domains through a Bandwidth Management Point (BMP). The main goals are to achieve signaling scalability and optimum resource utilization. The BMP of each domain makes a pipe type reservation to possible destination regions on behalf of its customers and modifies the pipe size based on ...

Efficient resource management through the virtual machine placement (VMP) is a great concern in data centers. The Biobjective VPM is a representation of multi-objective combinatorial optimization problem. Energy or cost minimization of cloud data center is highly dependent upon the VMP policy. Allocating the set of virtual machines (VMs) to the set of suitable physical machines (PMs), while con...

Fast speed drives for Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) is a crucial performance for the electric traction systems. In this paper, PMSM is derived with a Model-based Predictive Control (MPC) technique. Fast speed tracking is achieved through optimization of the DC source utilization using MPC. The technique is based on predicting the optimum voltage vector applied to the driver. Control...

Epsilonproteobacteria have been found globally distributed in marine anoxic/sulfidic areas mediating relevant transformations within the sulfur and nitrogen cycles. In the Baltic Sea redox zones, chemoautotrophic epsilonproteobacteria mainly belong to the Sulfurimonas gotlandica GD17 cluster for which recently a representative strain, S. gotlandica GD1(T), could be established as a model organi...

The findings show that with the development of a multitude of safe and effective drugs during the later part of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century, drugs are, as never before, a true mainstay of medical treatment. CMS continues to monitor drug utilization and expenditures in all of its programs in order to ensure that care is rendered in a cost-effective manner that is benef...
