Numerical identification of bacteria with a hand-held calculator as an alternative to code books.

چکیده
The Hewlett-Packard HP 41C hand-held calculator can be used for the numerical identification of bacteria. The dimensions of the identification matrix are limited to about 30 by 22; however, many groups of clinically important bacteria can be numerically identified by this method. Hand-held calculators can be used as an alternative to code books. At present, these calculators and additional tests can help solve identification problems in profiles not contained in code books.

On a Numerical Model for Gasification of Biomass Materials: An Alternative Method to Combustion
In this paper, a thermochemical equilibrium model is used to predict the performance of a downdraft biomass gasifier. Numerical results are shown to be in good agreement with those of the experiments. Different biomass materials are tested using the model, and forest residual is shown to be the most energetic one. For this material, the gasification temperature, syngas composition and calorific...

متن کاملFuture Scenarios of Iran's Public Libraries Based on Futures Workshops for Selected Librarians, Managers and Members
Purpose: Nowadays, public libraries are going through a critical period and turning point, a time when from one hand and based on the environmental trends affecting them, can be a sign of their future elimination, or on the other hand if they enjoy an accurate picture of the future and adopt appropriate strategies, can provide them with a renewed vital opportunity. This issue is related to the ...
متن کاملTechnical Report The Stochastic Network Calculator
In this technical report, we provide an in-depth description of the Stochastic Network Calculator tool, henceforth just called “Calculator”. This tool is designed to compute and automatically optimize performance bounds in queueing networks using the methodology of stochastic network calculus (SNC). For a detailed introduction to SNC, see the publicly available thesis of Beck [2], which shares ...
