This paper presents a midterm tactical planning model for the supply chain of a typical large company operating in the High Valley of the Black and Neuquén Rivers area of Argentina. A Mixed Integer Lineal Programming model has been developed, which maximizes the net profit of the company along a one-year time horizon divided in twelve monthly periods. Based on customer orders from three major m...

Using a test mixture consisting of standard proteins (cytochrome c, chymotrypsinogen A, hen egg albumin, bovine serum albumin, aldolase, catalase and ferritin) and synthetic polypeptides (polylysine, polyaspartic, polyglutamic acid and polyproline) it was revealed that using sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) as background electrolyte modifier at acid pH (2.5) allows selective separation of highly po...

This report demonstrates the usefulness of PCR for the genes spaS and sboA as a means of identifying Bacillus strains with a potential to produce subtilin and subtilosin A. One collection strain and five Bacillus spp. isolated from aquatic environments in the Amazon basin were screened by PCR using primers for sboA and spaS designed specifically for this study. The sequences of the PCR products...

We have devised a frequency injection attack which is able to destroy the source of entropy in ring-oscillator-based true random number generators (TRNGs). A TRNG will lock to frequencies injected into the power supply, eliminating the source of random jitter on which it relies. We are able to reduce the keyspace of a secure microcontroller based on a TRNG from 2 to 3300, and successfully attac...

The reasons for the emergence of capitalism have long intrigued scholars and engaged the attention of many of the most eminent of social thinkers, from Adam Smith through to Ernest Gellner. The lengthiest attempt by any historian to chart and explain the development of capitalism lies in the massive five-volume work of Fernand Braudel. Yet there is something curious about Braudel's attempt to s...

We report on nanoengineered SrTiO3-Sm2O3 nanocomposite thin films with the highest reported values of commutation quality factor (CQF or K-factor) of >2800 in SrTiO3 at room temperature. The films also had a large tunability of dielectric constant (49%), low tangent loss (tan δ = 0.01) and a Curie temperature for SrTiO3 > 300 °C, making them very attractive for tunable RF applications. The enha...
