Osmotic stress diminishes cell productivity and may cause cell inactivation in industrial fermentations. The quantification of metabolic changes under such conditions is fundamental for understanding and describing microbial behavior during bioprocesses. We quantified the gradual changes that take place when a lysine-overproducing strain of Corynebacterium glutamicum is grown in continuous cult...

To evaluate the effectiveness of various organic or inorganic fertilizers on the growth and physiology of Chrysanthemum morifolium (an important ornamental plant) the current research was conducted in a completely randomized design. Seedlings were treated with vermicompost (0 and 40% w/w of soil), nano-chelated zinc (nano-Zn) (0 and 0.1% (w/v)) or ZnSO4 (0 and 0.2% (w/v). Sprays of nano-Zn or Z...

Gas Exchanges and Accumulation of Osmolites in Declined Persian Oak Stands Ilam Province (Case study: Gchan Sheshdar Forest Area)

We present investigations on volume regulation and beading shape transitions in PC12 neurites, conducted using a flow-chamber technique. By disrupting the cell cytoskeleton with specific drugs, we investigate the role of its individual components in the volume regulation response. We find that microtubule disruption increases both swelling rate and maximum volume attained, but does not affect t...

Five commercially available encryption packages for the IBM PC are described and broken.

The paper discusses the development of an IBM PC based tool, for calculating train braking distances for various train classes on a rail network. There is discussion on current industry practice and the limitations of that practice, the concept of the tool itself, including the assumptions made, the strategy adopted to minimise the risk of incorrect calculations, and the results of adopting tha...

A further commercially available encryption package for the IBM PC is analysed, and a simple breaking program is described.

in this paper we formulate and prove some xed and common xed pointtheorems for self-mappings dened on complete lower transversal functionalprobabilistic spaces.
