abstract: in this paper, an exergy analysis approach is proposed for optimal design of distillation column by using simulated annealing algorithm. first, the simulation of a distillation column was performed by using the shortcut results and irreversibility in each tray was obtained. the area beneath the exergy loss profile was used as irreversibility index in the whole column. then, first opti...

conclusions optimization of medium composition and synergistic antimicrobial activity on the cyanobacteria could lead to production of effective antimicrobials. results c. leptolyngbya had antimicrobial activity individually and in synergy with antibiotics against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. the highest activity of the chloroform extract was on gram positive strains and its effect...

background: laron syndrome, is a disease that treated by igf-1. this protein is a single chain and has three disulfide bonds. people with laron syndrome have low rates of cancer and diabetes, although they appear to be at increased risk of casual death due to their stature. igf-1 is synthesized by many tissues and is secreted from liver as an endocrine hormone which is transmitted to other tiss...

conclusions we found ccd and rsm very effective in optimizing hib culture conditions, and hib biomass production was greatly influenced by ph and incubation temperature. therefore, optimization of the growth factors to maximize hib production can lead to 1) an increase in bacterial biomass and prp productions, 2) lower vaccine prices, 3) vaccination of more susceptible populations, and 4) lower...

background and objective: lactobacillus plantarum is one of the probiotics species used in functional food products. these bacteria or their purified bacteriocins are used as biological preservatives in the food industry. the first step in production of an array of probiotic products is optimizing production in fermentors. this study aimed to examine factors affecting the in vitro growth optimi...

The study evaluated to model the growth and reproduction aspects of the hake, Merluccius merluccius, in the Sea of Marmara. On-board sampling was conducted on the commercial beam trawl fishery from February 2016 to January 2017. For the growth trajectories, using monthly length frequency data set, different methods were employed to improve parameter optimization. The variation of reproductive i...
