This paper presents an effective technique to monitor and predict the open circuit voltage (OCV) for lead-acid battery cells. The underlying principal of the technique described in this paper employs one simple equation to predict the equilibrated cell voltage after a small rest period. The technique was tested and analyzed using results obtained from experiments conducted at the Yuasa Battery ...

this paper presents a new coding technique based on amino acids repartition in chromosome. The signal generated with this coding technique constitutes, after treatment, a new way to separate between exons and introns in a gene. The algorithm proposed is composed of six steps. We convert from ATCG to amino acids. We specify the amino acid order group. We constitute the signal based on group’s re...

Succinic acid has been favored by researchers due to its industrial multi-uses. However, the production of succinic acid is far below cell theoretical maximum. The goal of this research is to identify the optimal set of gene knockouts for obtaining high production of succinic acid in microorganisms. Gene knockout is a widely used genetic engineering technique. Hence, a hybrid of Harmony Search ...

third-degree perineal lacerations in 7 mares were repaired surgically by a one-stage method (goetz technique). primary healing occurred in all of them without any complication. the conception rate obtained after surgery was 70.1%. five horses out of seven got pregnant after surgery and no further injury was seen at subsequent foaling. three mares have produced several healthy foals without any ...

A fiber coating from polyaniline (PANI) was electrochemically prepared and employed for Solid phase micreoextraction (SPME). The PANI film was directly electrodeposited on the platinum wire surface using cyclic voltametry (CV) technique. The same method was applied for the preparation of SPME fiber coated by polyaniline multiwalled carbon nanotubes (PANI/MWCNTs) composite. The concentration of ...

Background: Exposure to ionizing radiation results in genotoxicity and the unrepaired lesions in cellular DNA results in cell cycle arrest, reproductive death, interphase death, division delay, chromosome aberrations, mutations, etc. leading to the intensive destruction of cells and violation of their proliferative capacity there by adversely affecting the mammalian system. Since ionizing radia...

Highly self-ordered alumina nanopore arrays were fabricated using hard anodization technique in different mixtures of oxalic/phosphoric acid. The phosphoric acid concentration was varied from 0.05 to 0.3 M while the oxalic acid concentration was changed between 0.3 and 0.4 M. The self ordered nanoporous arrays were obtained in anodization voltage changing from 130 to 200 V. The interpore distan...

Ionomers are generally described by copolymers having either acrylic or methacylic acid as one component and the other component is mostly either ethylene or styrene. The objective of this research was to study the thermal behaviour and stability of ionomers of styrene with some alkali metal acrylates. These materials have been synthesized by neutralization of the respective copoly...
