Whole-cell biocatalysts offer a highly enantioselective, minimally polluting route to optically active alcohols. Currently, most of the whole-cell catalytic performance involves resting cells rather than growing cell ...

A number of studies address the development of algorithms based on the Growing Region (GR) technique adaptations for extracting road networks in images. However, these algorithms are high-computationally demanding and ...

We provide two methods to construct zero-range processes with superlinear rates on Zd. In the first method these rates can grow very fast, if either the dynamics and the initial distribution are translation invariant or ...

The aim of this paper is to report fuel properties and torrefaction behavior of woody biomass from the Colombian highlands. Four wood species (Eucalyptus grandis, Pinus Maximinoi, Pinus patula, and Gmelina arborea) were ...

Rhizopus oligosporus is used to prepare tempeh and is formed by hyphae which grow as a complex branched structure with irregular borders. The objective of this research was to characterize the macro and micro structural ...

El propósito central de este trabajo es demostrar las renovaciones técnicas que experimentó la caficultura costarricense en la primera mitad del siglo XX.

Ductile cast irons are ferrous alloys in which precipitation of graphite in the form of spherical nodules is embedded in a metal matrix to obtain ductility on the material. Despite the importance of the shape of the nodules, ...

In this work findings derived from the application of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, in a patient with tumors, are identified. The tumors require of segmentation and quantification process before and after those therapies. ...

Fontanari introduced [Phys. Rev. Lett. 91, 218101 (2003)] a model for studying Muller's ratchet phenomenon in growing asexual populations. They studied two situations, either including a death probability for each newborn ...
