computational fluid dynamics analysis was employed to investigate the radial flow field patterns of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (pemfc) with different channel geometries at high operating current densities. 3d, non-isothermal was used with single straight channel geometry. our study showed that new generation of fuel cells with circle stack with the same active area and inlet area gave ...

in this work, mathematical modeling of microbial(trichosporon sp.) biomass production in a stirred tankbioreactor and in an external airlift bioreactor has beeninvestigated. a model based on a tanks-in-seriesmodel without back-flow has been used to simulate theproduction of single cell protein in the external airliftbioreactor under an unsteady condition and withoutoxygen limitation, utilizing ...

effect of methanol concentration and channel depth of bipolar plates on the performance of single direct methanol fuel cell was investigated experimentally. the membrane used in this experiment was nafion117. dimension of the single cell were 10cm 10 cm. methanol concentrations of 0.50, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 3.0 molar were used. channel depth of the bipolar plates were chosen to be 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 mm, a...

Background: Haplotyping is invaluable not only to identify genetic variants underlying a disease or trait, but also to study evolution and population history as well as meiotic and mitotic recombination processes. Current genome-wide haplotyping methods rely on genomic DNA that is extracted from a large number of cells. Thus far random allele drop out and preferential amplification artifacts of...

background: the incidence rate of breast cancer has been dramatically increasing since the last decade in iran, and it is now one of the most common female malignant tumors. b?cell lymphoma 2 (bcl2) family is the most important regulator of apoptosis, and ?938c>a single nucleotide polymorphism (snp) of bcl2 gene promoter has been demonstrated to influence breast cancer susceptibility. in this r...

The nature and pace of genome mutation is largely unknown. Standard methods to investigate DNA-mutation rely on arraying or sequencing DNA from a population of cells, hence the genetic composition of individual cells is lost and de novo mutation in cell(s) is concealed within the bulk signal. We developed methods based on (SNP-) arraying and next-generation sequencing of single-cell whole-genom...

abstract these days, scientsts search for cheap protein sources because of growthing of population.one of these sources is single cell protein.this study deals with single cell protein production process by saccharomyces cerevisiae and saccharomyces carlsbergensis .these yeast are known as the most ideal and practical eukaryotic microorganism in biological studies. in this survey we added the w...
