This work describes a treatment of glycogen-rich wastes from industrial mussel processing, involving the production of a protein fraction and a medium suitable for the culture of amylolytic microfungi. A strain of Aspergillus oryzae was chosen which allows the simultaneous production of single cell protein and a highly stable amylolytic preparation. The characteristics of the biomass obtained (...

Acetylene, an important petrochemical raw material, is very difficult to store safely under compression because of its highly explosive nature. Here we present a porous metal-organic framework named FJI-H8, with both suitable pore space and rich open metal sites, for efficient storage of acetylene under ambient conditions. Compared with existing reports, FJI-H8 shows a record-high gravimetric a...

 It is crucial for the spectral-efficient communication systems, associated with the sophisticated digital modulation formats to be able to handle the RF signal containing a probably very large variation of the envelope magnitude. The aim of this work is to build an optimal transmitter linearization architecture suitable to achieve a highly linear transmission and to be highly power efficient....

BACKGROUND At present, plant molecular systematics and DNA barcoding techniques rely heavily on the use of chloroplast gene sequences. Because of the relatively low evolutionary rates of chloroplast genes, there are very few choices suitable for molecular studies on angiosperms at low taxonomic levels, and for DNA barcoding of species. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS We scanned the entire chlo...

during the twentieth century, with growing urbanization and machinical transportation development, and migration people to cites, many different natural attractive places come to distort by this pollution and in another way this kind of development without notice to the natural factors limitation, made lots of programs. the goles of this research recognite geomorphologic limitation, in physical...

The study illustrates the use of Geographic Information System (GIS) tools and numerical Multi-Criteria Evaluation (MCE) techniques for selection of suitable sites for urban development of a hill town. This study was conducted to identify suitable sites for urban development of a hill town, Nahan using GIS-based multi-criteria evaluation of slope, road proximity, land use, land values, soil and...

This research frame work investigates the application of a clustered based Neuro-fuzzy system to nonlinear dynamic system modeling from a set of input-output training patterns. It is concentrated on the modeling via Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) modeling technique and the employment of fuzzy clustering to generate suitable initial membership functions. Hence, such created initial memberships are then emp...

In this report, we investigate the application of the Scale-Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) to the problem of CD cover recognition. The algorithm uses modified SIFT approach to match keypoints between the query image taken by camera phone and the original database of CD covers. The extracted features are highly distinctive as they are shift, scale and rotation invariant. They are also partia...

In this paper a high order Discontinuous Galerkin method is used to solve steady-state isothermal line contact elastohydrodynamic lubrication problems. This method is found to be stable across a wide range of loads and is shown to permit accurate solutions using just a small number of degrees of freedom provided suitable grids are used. A comparison is made between results obtained using this p...
