The IIOAB Journal SPECIAL ISSUE ON FRONTIERS IN INDUSTRIAL MICROBIOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL BIOTECHNOLOGY

Dermatophyte and yeast species have been screened for their degradative ability towards various keratin substrates. Application of soluble preparation of keratin (KS) of chicken feathers enables a preliminary evaluation of the growth of the fungi and screening of fungal isolates that possesed keratinolytic activity and keratinase enzyme. Five dermatophytes i.e. Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton...

The oxidative degradation of Procion Red MX-5B by solar Fenton’s has been investigated using sunlight as irradiation source in presence of hydrogen peroxide and Fe2+. Maximum decolorization (99%) and COD removal (97%) for MX-5B was obtained at H2O2 dose of 16.6 mM and at 30 min irradiation time. Fe2+ dose of 0.36 mM was optimum for Procion Red MX-5B degradation. The solar degradation mechanism ...

Editors's Introduction to the Special Issue on "Frontiers in Network Systems and Applications"

The growing availability of network infrastructure is paralleled by the ever growing number of network applications. These applications rely on network services to answer business needs and enable the interaction of users and devices. Not surprisingly, the development of applications promotes further research in the field of network systems. In particular, the growing complexity of network infr...

Introduction to Special Issue

Although recent frameworks for test validation have emphasized utilization as a key component (e.g. Bachman & Palmer, 2010; Chapelle, 2012; Kane, 1992), what happens in the sometimes messy contexts where assessments are carried out is often not documented. This is perhaps because test developers are more focused on defining and operationalizing test constructs than on issues of implementation. ...
