The aim of this study was to optimize the main media components that affect the production of lactic acid by Lactobacillus rhamnosus fermentation. In the experiment,the two variables (glucose and peptone) were optimized using tbe Central Composite Design (CCD) metbod by STATISTICA Software.The optimization studies were successfully carried out in s

As anextensionofthetraditional normalized radialbasis function (NRBF)model,the extended normalizedRBF (ENRBF) modelwas proposed by Xu [RBF nets, mixture experts, and Bayesian Ying-Yang learning, Neurocomputing 19 (1998) 223–257].Inthispaper,we perform a supplementary study on ENRBF with several properly designed experiments and some further theor

Human Activity is not a well defined concept in Ubiquitous Computing discipline because human activity is very complex and the computer environment is very limited in capturing user activity. However, user activity is an essential ingredient for the determination of appropriate response from Intelligent Environment in order to provide appropriate s

Objective: This study presents the results of two-period, two-treatment crossover investigations on 24 healthy Indian male subjects to assess the bioequivalence of two oral formulations containing 400 mg of dexibuprofen (CAS 51146-56-6). An attempt was also made to study the pharmacokinetics of dexibuprofen in the local population of Indian origin.

Objective Low dose stimulation (LS) is emerging as an alternative regime in assisted reproductive technology (ART). This study aimed to compare the cost-effectiveness of LS to the high dose GnRH antagonist (Atg) regime. Methods An observational prospective study conducted at an academic infertility unit from January to June 2007. Outcome measures i

Heterogeneous computing environment such as grid computing allows sharing and aggregation of a wide variety of geographically distributed computational resources (such as supercomputers, clusters, data sources, people and storage systems) and present them as a single, unified resource for solving large-scale and data-intensive computing application

Purpose- The aim is to study the tribological behavior of dual particle size (DPS)and triple particle size (TPS) SiC reinforced aluminium allloy based metal matrix composites - MMCs (Al/SiCp MMC)SiCp/Al-MMC). Design /methodology /approach- Al-MMCs were prepared using 20 vol% SiC reinforcement into aluminum metal matrix and developed using a stir ca

In engineering practice, moisture absorption test is generally used for quality control purposes and to measure the degradation of the quality for the composite materials. The objectives of this study are to investigate the value of Fickian difusivity constant, moisture equilibrium content and the correction factor the natural fiber composites.Shor

Renal stone disease has been regarded as an uncommon problem in children as compared to adult population. The incidence varies in different parts of continent. Posterior urethral valve is also regarded as uncommon urological problem in pediatric population. The incidence is about 1 per 8,000 to 25,000 life births. A combination of renal calculi, po
