This paper revisits the “sliding window” notion commonly encountered in communication protocols and applies it to the round numbers of round-based asynchronous protocols. This approach is novel. To illustrate its benefits, the paper presents an original weak failure detector-based consensus protocol that allows each process to be simultaneously involved in several rounds. The rounds in which a ...

A cell-free extract of Saccharomyces cerevisiae containing the angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory peptide was treated in a successive simulated gastric-intestinal bioreactor (step 1: amylase digestion, step 2: gastric fluid digestion, step 3: intestinal fluid digestion) to illustrate the absorption pattern of antihypertensive ACE inhibitory peptide, and the ACE inhibitory activiti...

Co-digestion is the simultaneous digestion of two or more substrates and a common practice at wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). The amounts methane digested sludge produced are key parameters for evaluating economic efficiency co-digestion. However, share dewatered digestate from co-substrates not known. Synergistic effects in co-digestion, i.e. better biodegradability compared to mono-diges...

in present research study, 44 canine teeth of with completely formed apex was selected in 11 cats. jaw bones were removed while teeth were kept intra alveolar sockets and routine root canal therapy was performed on each root. afterwards, 3mm of each root were cut apically. 20 teeth underwent cavity preparation via high speed dental turbine and round diamond bur, 20 via endosonic device and 4 (1...

The combination of inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry and high resolution inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry for the determination of 70 elements in coal were studied. Four microwave-assisted digestion procedures with different dissolution mixtures (nitric and hydrofluoric acids, aqua regia and hydrogen peroxide), lithium metaborate fusion with and without previou...
