The purpose of this study was to investigate the production of flavor compounds from olive mill waste by microbial fermentation of Rhizopus oryzae and Candida tropicalis. Olive mill waste fermentations were performed in shake and bioreactor cultures. Production of flavor compounds from olive mill waste was followed by Gas Chromatography-Mass spectrometry, Gas chromatography- olfactometry and Sp...

Market Mill is a complex dependence pattern leading to nonlinear correlations and predictability in intraday dynamics of stock prices. The present paper puts together previous efforts to build a dynamical model reflecting the market mill asymmetries. We show that certain properties of the conditional dynamics at a single time scale such as a characteristic shape of an asymmetry generating compo...

Semiautogenous (SAG) mills for ore grinding are large energy consumption equipments. The SAG energy consumption is strongly related to the fill level of the mill. Hence, on-line information of the mill fill level is a relevant state variable to monitor and drive in SAG operations. Unfortunately, due to the prevailing conditions in a SAG mill, it is difficult to measure and represent from first ...

We describe an application of the BOXES learning algorithm of Michie and Chambers (1968) to a large-scale, real-world problem, namely, learning to control a steel mill. By applying BOXES to a model of a skinpass mill (a type of steel mill), we find that the BOXES algorithm can be made to produce a robust controller relatively quickly. Various aspects of the BOXES algorithm are adapted for the t...

Pulp and paper mill, controversially, is one of the largest and major contributors of pollution in aquatic environment, affecting aquatic organisms in general and fishes in particular. Several field and laboratory studies were conducted worldwide on effects of both treated and untreated paper mill effluents on fish. The studies showed wide ranges of toxicity at organismal as well as at populati...

The trait of the ball mill is chaotic in nature due its complex dynamics associated during grinding. Grinding in ball mill generates high-intensity vibration and is too complex on account dependency of multiple variables. In this paper, the vibration signal is acquired using a low power ZigBee based three axes wireless MEMS accelerometer sensor mounted onto the mill shell. Firstly, the exact fr...

key account business analyst, Quaker Chemical Corp., Conshohocken, Pa., USA [email protected] Nucor Steel Tuscaloosa Inc. is the first U.S. mill to employ Steckel mill technology for producing high-quality wide coiled plates and discrete plates. Since 1985, the Steckel mill has consistently demonstrated product versatility, quality and cost advantage over traditional plate mills. The single...

Studies of ventilatory capacity change in small groups of employees during a shift in a cotton mill and in three cotton ginneries in Uganda, a sisal factory in Kenya, and a jute mill in England, have demonstrated that an effect is produced by the dust in the cotton mill and in a very dusty ginnery but not in two other less dusty ginneries. No significant effect was detected in the sisal factory...

BACKGROUND Epidemiological studies have shown the prevention of cardiovascular diseases through the regular consumption of vegetables. Eruca sativa Mill., commonly known as rocket, is a leafy vegetable that has anti-inflammatory activity. However, its antiplatelet and antithrombotic activities have not been described. METHODS Eruca sativa Mill. aqueous extract (0.1 to 1 mg/mL), was evaluated ...
