computational fluid dynamics analysis was employed to investigate the radial flow field patterns of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (pemfc) with different channel geometries at high operating current densities. 3d, non-isothermal was used with single straight channel geometry. our study showed that new generation of fuel cells with circle stack with the same active area and inlet area gave ...

in this work, mathematical modeling of microbial(trichosporon sp.) biomass production in a stirred tankbioreactor and in an external airlift bioreactor has beeninvestigated. a model based on a tanks-in-seriesmodel without back-flow has been used to simulate theproduction of single cell protein in the external airliftbioreactor under an unsteady condition and withoutoxygen limitation, utilizing ...

a typical iranian carbonate matrix block surrounded by an open fracture was modeled in order to understand the fracture-matrix interaction and realize how to model the interaction best. the modeling was carried out by using a fine-scaled eclipse model in the single porosity mode (the fractures were explicitly modeled). the model was extended to a stack of 6 matrix blocks to understand block-to-...

Background & Aims of the Study: This study aimed to investigate, for first time, ability single-cell oil production from low-cost carbon sources using Kocuria Y205 native Iranian bacterial isolates soil.Materials and MethodsWhey lignocellulose compounds were used as yeast extract a nitrogen source. Also, isolated cultivation was done on Mineral Salts Medium (MSM) culture media. Molecular analys...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Sunflower cultivars exhibit a wide range of oil content in the mature achene, but the relationship between this and the dynamics of oil deposition in the achene during grain filling is not known. Information on the progress, during the whole achene growth period, of the formation of oil bodies in the components of the achene and its relationship with variations in final oil ...

Malignant transformation of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) occurs through repetitive liver injury in a context of inflammation and oxidative DNA damage. A spectrum of natural sesquiterpenoids from curcuma oil has displayed antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-carcinogenic properties. The aim of the study was to investigate the hepatoprotective and anti-HCC effects of curcuma oil in vivo and ...

background:confirmation of olive oil authenticity and particularly virgin olive oil has a great importance. several advanced chemical and genetic analyses have been used to monitor especial components; however each has its limitations especially when detecting hazelnut-adulterated olive oil. objectives:the objective of this research is to assess the presence of trace amount of hazelnut oil in o...

Cutaneotrichosporon oleaginosus is an oleaginous yeast with several favourable qualities: It fast growing, accumulates high amounts of lipids and has a very broad substrate spectrum. Its resistance to hydrolysis by-products makes it promising biocatalyst for custom tailored microbial oils. C. can accumulate up 60 wt.% its biomass as lipids. This species able grow by using compounds substrate, s...
