Fructose utilization by wine yeasts is critically important for the maintenance of a high fermentation rate at the end of alcoholic fermentation. A Saccharomyces cerevisiae wine yeast able to ferment grape must sugars to dryness was found to have a high fructose utilization capacity. We investigated the molecular basis of this enhanced fructose utilization capacity by studying the properties of...

The objectives of this review were (1) to examine characteristics associated with enrollment and utilization of portals among patients with diabetes and (2) to identify barriers and facilitators of electronic patient portal enrollment and utilization. PubMed and the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) were systematically searched for papers reporting original resea...

this study examines inventory management practices of flour milling manufacturing firms and their effects on operational performance. five flour milling manufacturing firms in lagos were used for this study. structured questionnaire was the major instrument for the collection of relevant primary data while descriptive statistics such as mean and standard deviation was deployed to analyzing the ...

We characterised carbohydrate utilisation of 20 newly sequenced Bacillus cereus strains isolated from food products and food processing environments and two laboratory strains, B. cereus ATCC 10987 and B. cereus ATCC 14579. Subsequently, genome sequences of these strains were analysed together with 11 additional B. cereus reference genomes to provide an overview of the different types of carboh...

In this paper we consider a region which is divided into serveral subregions. Each region is served by a station with a finite capacity. This means that the station can only serve customers within the limits of its capacity (maximum number of connections simultaneously). In connection with this the following question arises: What is the first occurrence time for this event? More exactly, what i...

This study was undertaken to evaluate the relationship between physical performance capacity and the mitochondrial content of skeletal muscle. Four groups of rats were trained by means of treadmill running 5 days/wk for 13 wk. One group ran 10 min/day, a second group ran 30 min/day, a third group ran 60 min/day, and a fourth group ran 120 min/day. The magnitude of the exercise-induced adaptive ...

Unique value-maximizing programs of irreversible capacity investment and capacity utilization are described and shown to exist under general conditions for monopolist exhibiting capital adjustment costs and serving random consumer demand for a nondurable good over an infinite horizon. Stationary properties of these programs are then fully characterized under the assumption of serially independe...

As the network operators are expected to offer plenty of services, users in the network will have varied QoS needs. The unpredictable nature of the network and the exponential growth in traffics, there is a need for intelligent Call Admission Control (CAC) technique that simultaneously manages traffic and bandwidth. In this paper an efficient CAC scheme for mobile WiMAX that satisfies bandwidth...
