Given an x0 ∈ Rn we study the infinite horizon problem of minimizing the expression ∫ T 0 f(t, x(t), x ′(t))dt as T grows to infinity where x : [0,∞) → Rn satisfies the initial condition x(0) = x0. We analyse the existence and the properties of approximate solutions for every prescribed initial value x0. We also establish that for every bounded set E ⊂ Rn the C([0, T ]) norms of approximate sol...

Metal nanoshells consists of a dielectric core surrounded by a thin noble metal shell, possess unique optical properties that render nanoshells attractive for use in different technologies. This paper reports a facile method for growth of small gold nanoparticles on the functionalized surface of larger silica nanoparticles. Mono-dispersed silica particles and gold nanoparticles were prepared by...

Background: Schizophyllum commune, is one of the important medicinal-fungi foods in the world. Due to its important constituents such as extracellular and intracellular polysaccharides, it is widely used in industry and medicine. One of the important polysaccharides of this fungus is chitin-glucan complex (CGC). The aim of this study was to investigate the growth of native fungus Schizophyllum ...

In this study, the effects of some factors on bacterial growth and ferrous oxidation rates were investigated by Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidan in 250 ml shake flasks. One factor at a time (OFAT) design approach was used for preliminary evaluation of various factors affecting the process, such as pH, initial ferrous and elemental sulfur concentrations, shaker agitation rate, and liquid to flask v...

this study surveys on the effects of l-lysine and methionon amino acids on growth performance, survival rate and body composition of rainbow trout (oncorhynchus mykiss). fish with initial average weight 105.23 +  6.33 g in 5 treatments fed with different levels of lysine (1 and 3 %) and methionine ( 1 and 2%) for 8 weeks. the results showed that the treatment which fed 2 % methionine had the be...
