The acid hydrolysis of lignocellulosic material (LM) is one of the most widely studied and important subprocess in the LM biorefinery. After acid hydrolysis, LM can be converted to various biofuels, biochemicals, and biomaterials through chemical or biochemical methods. However, conventional LM acid hydrolysis is not regarded as a cost-effective and environmentally-friendly process because it h...

1 – Introduction Parameter estimation for function optimization is a well established problem in computing, as there are countless applications in practice. For this work, we will focus specifically in implementing a distributed and parallel implementation of the Levenberg Marquardt algorithm, which is a well established numerical solver for function approximation given a limited data set. Para...

recently, hardware sensors are widely used in monitoring and measurement of water quality parameters. constraint of the instrument to measure some water quality parameters such as the 5-day biochemical oxygen demand (bod5), which are time consuming, causes efforts are diverted to the use of software sensors for online prediction of bod5. the main goal of this research is developing an appropria...

introduction: considering the anticonvulsant effects of a1 adenosine receptors and the anatomical connections between pjriform cortex and amygdala, in this study, the role of a1 adenosine receptors activity of piriform cortex neurons on amygdala kindled seizures was investigated in rats. material and methods: the rats were fully kindled by daily electrical stimulation of amygdala. n6-cyclohexyl...

background: the aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the in vitro biofi lm forming capacity of enterococcus faecalis on gutta-percha points disinfected with four disinfectants. materials and methods: a total of 50 gutta-percha points used in this study were divided into four test groups based on disinfectant (5.25% sodium hypochlorite, 2% chlorhexidine gluconate, 20% neem, 13% benzalko...

we develop a theory of stratified $lm$-filters which generalizes the theory of stratified $l$-filters. our stratification condition explicitly depends on a suitable mapping between the lattices $l$ and $m$. if $l$ and $m$ are identical and the mapping is the identity mapping, then we obtain the theory of stratified $l$-filters. based on the stratified $lm$-filters, a general theory of lattice-v...

purpose: to compare the safety, efficacy, predictability, stability and complications of wavefront-guided laser-assisted subepithelial keratectomy (lasek) in low myopia, myopic astigmatism and high myopia correction. methods: in his retrospective study, 416 eyes were divided to 3 groups: 159 eyes with low myopia (lm) and mean refractive spherical equivalent (mrse) of -3.68±1.33 (sd) diopter (d)...
