It is proposed that the phenomenon of charge fractionalisation of the spatially confined particle in a topological chiral bag may be interpreted as a manifestation of the exclusion statistics proposed by Haldane. The fractional exclusion statistics parameter is just the fractional baryon charge Q of the particle in this case. We also state the necessary conditions for Haldane fractional to occu...

Kinetic models for bioethanol production from waste sorghum leaves by Saccharomyces cerevisiae BY4743 are presented. Fermentation processes were carried out at varied initial glucose concentrations (12.5–30.0 g/L). Experimental data on cell growth and substrate utilisation fit the Monod kinetic model with a coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.95. A maximum specific growth rate (μmax) and Mon...

We show that the SU(N), level-1 Wess-Zumino-Witten conformal field theory provides a natural realization of the Yangian Y (slN) for N ≥ 3. We also construct a hamiltonian H2 which commutes with the Yangian generators and study its spectrum. Our results, which generalize work by Haldane et al. [1], provide the field theory extension of the algebraic structure of the SU(N) Haldane-Shastry spin ch...

BACKGROUND The objective of this research was to investigate the kinetic behavior of the biofil¬tration process for the removal of styrene. METHODS A three stage compost based biofilter was inoculated with thickened activated sludge. The reaction order rate constants were obtained from continuous experiments and used as the specific growth rate for the Monod equation. RESULTS The measured c...
