In this paper, two non-linear technologies are proposed based on weak disposability definitions: weak disposability with non-uniform abatement factors and new weak disposability. Both technologies are applied to Spanish airport systems and the existing technologies are modified. To remove the computational complexity of non-linear approaches, the linearization methods are proposed. Then, in ord...

NAD+-dependent formate dehydrogenase (EC 1.2.1.2, FDH) from methylotrophic bacterium Pseudomonas sp.101 exhibits the highest stability among the similar type enzymes studied. To obtain further increase in the thermal stability of FDH we used one of general approaches based on hydrophobization of protein alpha-helices. Five serine residues in positions 131, 160, 168, 184 and 228 were selected fo...

The Full Domain Hash (FDH) scheme is a RSA-based signature scheme in which the message is hashed onto the full domain of the RSA function. The FDH scheme is provably secure in the random oracle model, assuming that inverting RSA is hard. In this paper we exhibit a slightly different proof which provides a tighter security reduction. This in turn improves the efficiency of the scheme since small...

This paper develops a new factor-analysis-based (FAB) approach for choosing the optimal direction in directional distance function (DDF) analysis. It has combined merits of factor analysis and slacks-based measure (SBM) incorporates relative ease with which various input-output could be adjusted. development relieves reliance on price information that is difficult to obtain provision public goo...

A heterotrimeric flavoprotein-cytochrome c complex fructose dehydrogenase (FDH) of Gluconobacter japonicus NBRC3260 catalyzes the oxidation of d-fructose to produce 5-keto-d-fructose and is used for diagnosis and basic research purposes as a direct electron transfer-type bioelectrocatalysis. The fdhSCL genes encoding the FDH complex of G. japonicus NBRC3260 were isolated by a PCR-based gene amp...
