In the present work, a computational study is carried out investigating the relationship between the biosensing and the electrical characteristics of two-terminal Schottkybarrier silicon nanowire devices. The model suggested successfully reproduces computationally the experimentally obtained electrical behavior of the devices prior to and after the surface bio-modification. Throughout modeling ...

This paper evaluates the economic feasibility of an integrated production pathway combining fast pyrolysis and bio-oil gasification. The conversion process is simulated with Aspen Plus® for a 2000 metric ton per day facility. Techno-economic analysis of this integrated pathway has been conducted. A total capital investment of $510 million has been estimated and the minimum fuel selling price (M...

We report on the NEMA-NU2-2012 performance of a hypothetical Monte Carlo (MC) model, Ex-PET, Siemens Biograph Vision positron emission tomography (PET)/CT (Bio-Vis) with sparse detector module rings and extended axial field view (AFOV). MC simulations were performed interleaved 32-mm gaps, equivalent to dimension each module, yielding an AFOV 48.0 cm (Bio-Vis has 25.6-cm AFOV). 3D-PET acquisiti...

BACKGROUND Bio-cathode denitrifying microbial fuel cell (MFC) is a promising bio-electrochemical system (BES) where both the reactions of anodic oxidation and cathodic reduction are catalyzed by microorganisms. In this nitrogen removal process, a complete biological denitrification from nitrate (NO3 (-)) to molecular nitrogen (N2) was achieved by four reduction steps, forming nitrite (NO2 (-)),...

Membrane preparations from developing soybean (var. Prize) cotyledon tissue, at the time of synthesis of storage glycoproteins, catalyze the sequential assembly of lipid-linked oligosaccharides from uridine-5'-diphospho-N-acetyl-d-[6-(3)H] glucosamine and guanosine-5'diphospho-d-[U-(14)C]mannose. The maximum size of lipid-linked oligosaccharide that accumulates contains the equivalent of 10 sac...

We present a complete overview of the computational power of recurrent neural networks involved in an interactive bio-inspired computational paradigm. More precisely, we recall the results stating that interactive rationaland realweighted neural networks are Turing-equivalent and super-Turing, respectively. We further prove that interactive evolving neural networks are super-Turing, irrespectiv...

So as to test the Kappa development tools on more examples, we translated the models provided with the BNGL distribution, into Kappa. In this talk, we report about our experience. The translation was quite straight-forward except for few interesting issues that we detail here. Firstly the use of static analysis has exposed some glitches in the modelling of some pathways in the models of the BNG...
