Three strains of facultatively anaerobic thermotolerant and moderately halophilic bacteria were isolated from two Jordanian hot spring locations. The novel Bacillus strains were short rods, Gram-positive, motile and spore formers. The strains were capable of anaerobic (but not aerobic) growth at 63C, moderately halophilic, able to grow at NaCl concentration range of 12 15 % and at temperatures ...

Active inference may be defined as Bayesian modeling of a brain with biologically plausible model the agent. Its primary idea relies on free energy principle and prior preference An agent will choose an action that leads to its for future observation. In this paper, we claim active can interpreted using reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms find theoretical connection between them. We extend c...

Nitrogenated carbon nanotips (NCNTPs) with different structures were synthesized by plasmaenhanced hot filament chemical vapor deposition under different time using methane, nitrogen and hydrogen as the reaction gases. The results of field emission scanning electron microscopy, microRaman spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy indicate that the NCNTPs are amorphous structure and they...

This work describes newly structured stacked silicon nanowires (s-SiNWs), consisting of nanosized silicon wires on top of silicon microrods (SiMRs) and exhibiting pronouncedly superior electron field emission (EFE) characteristics to the conventional SiNWs, by using a two-step electroless metal deposition process. Experimental results indicate that for these s-SiNWs, the electrostatic "screen e...

A semi-analytical technique to simulate spatially dispersive (SD) cylindrical metasurfaces is proposed and demonstrated. This method based on the well-known Eigenfunction Expansion (EFE) extends work of [1],[2] by integrating Extended GSTCs into this pre-existing specific surfaces. then applied several composed wire dipole unit cells, successfully verified against commercial full-wave simulatio...
