As significant differences in cellular physiology, metabolic potential and genetics occur among strains with morphological similarity, the screening of appropriate microalgae species for effective CO2 fixation and biodiesel production is extremely critical. In this study, ten strains of Chlorella were cultivated in municipal wastewater influent (MWI) and their tolerance for MWI, CO2 fixation ef...

Stable chromium, molybdenum, tungsten, manganese, rhenium, ruthenium, osmium, cobalt, rhodium, and iridium metal nanoparticles (M-NPs) have been reproducibly obtained by facile, rapid (3 min), and energy-saving 10 W microwave irradiation (MWI) under an argon atmosphere from their metal-carbonyl precursors [M(x)(CO)(y)] in the ionic liquid (IL) 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([BMI...

The present study aims firstly at determining the microbial diversity of mine-water collected in Emalahleni, South Africa and secondly isolating and characterizing the most dominant bacterial species found in the mine water in terms of its resistance to both V(5+) and Ni(2+) in a modified wastewater liquid media. The results revealed a microbial diversity of 17 orders, 27 families and 33 genera...

Bell’s work [1] led to a revolution in our understanding of Nature. I remember attending my first physics conference on “Microphysical Reality and Quantum Formalism,” in Urbino, 1985. Most of the talks were about Aspect’s experiment [2] confirming the nonlocality of quantum mechanics based on the experimental violations of Bell’s inequalities. Although I did not share the skepticism of many spe...

As cutting-edge experiments display ever more extreme forms of non-classical behavior, the prevailing view on the interpretation of quantum mechanics appears to be gradually changing. A (highly unscientific) poll taken at the 1997 UMBC quantum mechanics workshop gave the once alldominant Copenhagen interpretation less than half of the votes. The Many Worlds interpretation (MWI) scored second, c...

In MRI, physiological noise which originates from cardiac and respiratory functions can induce substantial errors in detecting small signals in the brain. In this work, we explored the effects of the physiological noise and their compensation methods in gradient-echo myelin water imaging (GRE-MWI). To reduce the cardiac function induced inflow noise, flow saturation RF pulses were applied to th...

A brief (subjective) description of the state art many-worlds interpretation quantum mechanics (MWI) is presented. It argued that MWI only which removes action at a distance and randomness from theory. Limitations regarding questions probability can be legitimately asked are specified. The ontological picture as theory universal wave function decomposed into superposition world functions, impor...

The detection of breast cancer in its early stage is a developing research field that can rescue the women affected by cancerous tissues. A modest and skilful approach in microwave imaging (MWI) for data inversion is proposed. MWI in medicinal applications has been famous in last two decades and presently it is using for the detection of breast cancer. Medical imaging by microwave technology ha...

Quantum nonlocality may be an artifact of the assumption that observers obey the laws of classical mechanics, while observed systems obey quantum mechanics. I show that, at least in the case of Bell’s Theorem, locality is restored if observed and observer are both assumed to obey quantum mechanics, as in the Many-Worlds Interpretation. Using the MWI, I shall show that the apparently “non-local”...

Abstract It is emphasized that for interactions with derivative couplings, the Ward Identity (WI) securing preservation of a global symmetry should be modified. Scalar QED taken as an explicit example. More precisely, it rigorously shown in scalar naive WI and improved (‘Master Identity’, MWI) are related to each other by finite renormalization time-ordered product (‘ T -product’) fields, we po...
