cyanobacteria have been considered due to producuction of types of secondary metabolites and antimicrobial compounds. this research designated for optimization of bg11 culture medium to increase the antifungal activity of cyanobacterium sp. pgu1 against the plant pathogenic fungi, fusarium oxysporum f. sp lycopersici and rhizoctonia solaniag2-2-iiib. cyanobacterium was isolated from the persian...

Optimization algorithms are increasingly being used in applications with limited time budgets. In many real-time and embedded scenarios, only a few iterations can be performed traditional convergence metrics cannot to evaluate performance these nonasymptotic regimes. this article, we examine the transient behavior of accelerated first-order optimization algorithms. For convex quadratic problems...

Abstract: In this paper, an exergy analysis approach is proposed for optimal design of distillation column by using simulated annealing algorithm. First, the simulation of a distillation column was performed by using the shortcut results and irreversibility in each tray was obtained. The area beneath the exergy loss profile was used as Irreversibility Index in the whole column. Then, First Opti...

Like any other precipitation process, in supercritical water hydrothermal synthesis (SWHS), the need to improve product quality and minimize production cost requires understanding and optimization of Particle Size Distribution (PSD). In this work, using Population Balance Equation (PBE) containing nucleation and growth terms, the reactive precipitation of zirconia nanoparticles prepared by ...

background: vascular endothelial growth factor (vegf) is a coordinate regulator of physiological angiogenesis during embryogenesis, skeletal growth and reproductive functions. there are several types of vegf, including vegf165. vegfs stimulate endothelial cell growth, angiogenesis, and capillary permeability. low induction temperature is a major factor for expression of the recombinant vegf165 ...

many shape and topology optimization methods have been inspired from the nature. in this paper, two different optimization algorithms based on the adaptive biological growth (abg) have been applied to some structural elements. the first algorithm is developed for the shape optimization and is applied to a plate with a central hole as well as a fillet plate. the second algorithm is the soft kill...
