Two Bacillus species were studied which produced bioemulsifiers; however, they distinctly different compounds. sp. strain IAF 343 unusually high yields of extracellular biosurfactant when grown on a medium containing only water-soluble substrates. The yield 1 g/liter was appreciably better than those most the biosurfactants reported previously. This neutral lipid product, unlike biosurfactants, had significant emulsifying properties. It did not lower surface tension water. On same medium,...
The lipopeptide, surfactin, is produced by Bacillus subtilis. A study has been made on large-scale production of this surfactant. good yield was obtained from a glucose substrate fermentation continuously removing the product foam fractionation. surfactin could be easily recovered collapsed acid precipitation. also improved addition either iron or manganese salts. Hydrocarbon to medium, which normally increases biosurfactant production, completely inhibited B.
People convey their emotional state in face and voice. We present an audio-visual data set uniquely suited for the study of multi-modal emotion expression perception. The consists facial vocal expressions sentences spoken a range basic states (happy, sad, anger, fear, disgust, neutral). 7,442 clips 91 actors with diverse ethnic backgrounds were rated by multiple raters three modalities: audio, visual, audio-visual. Categorical labels real-value intensity values perceived collected using...
Rhizopus arrhizus biomass was found to absorb a variety of different metal cations and anions but did not alkali ions. The amount uptake the directly related ionic radii La 3+ , Mn 2+ Cu Zn Cd Ba Hg Pb UO 2 Ag + . all is consistent with absorption metals by sites in containing phosphate, carboxylate, other functional groups. molybdate vanadate strongly pH dependent, it proposed that mechanism involves electrostatic attraction positively charged
Theories and technologies are needed to understand integrate the knowledge of student affect (e.g., frustration, motivation self-confidence) into learning models. Our goals redress cognitive versus affective imbalance in teaching systems, develop tools that model build tutors elicit, measure respond affect. This article describes our broad approach towards this goal three main objectives: for recognition, interventions response affect, emotionally animated agents.
Two types of carbon sources—carbohydrate and vegetable oil—are necessary to obtain large yields biosurfactant from Torulopsis bombicola ATCC 22214. Most the surfactant is produced in late exponential phase growth. It possible grow yeast on a single source then add other type substrate, after growth phase, cause burst production. This product mixture glycolipids. The maximum yield 70 g liter −1 , or 35% weight substrate used. An economic comparison demonstrated that this could be...
This study aimed to assess how the prevalence and growth rates of small medium abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) (3·0-5·4 cm) have changed over time in men aged 65 years, evaluate long-term outcomes whose diameter is 2·6-2·9 cm (subaneurysmal), below standard threshold for most surveillance programmes.The Gloucestershire Aneurysm Screening Programme (GASP) started 1990. Men years with an 2·6-5·4 cm, measured by ultrasonography using inner wall method, were included surveillance. Aortic...
To report a randomized clinical trial designed to determine if remote ischemic preconditioning (IP) has the ability reduce renal and cardiac damage following endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR).Forty patients (all men; mean age 76+/-7 years) with abdominal aortic aneurysms averaging 6.3+/-0.8 cm in diameter were enrolled from November 2006 January 2008. Eighteen (mean 74 years, range 72-81) completed full IP protocol; there no withdrawals. Twenty-two 76 66-80) assigned control group. Remote...
