background and objectives: psychrotrophic bacteria can produce enzymes at low temperatures; this provides a wide biotechnological potential, and offers numerous economical advantages over the use of mesophilic bacteria. in this study, extracellular protease production by psychrotrophic rheinheimera sp. (km459533) was optimized by the response surface methodology. materials and methods: the cult...

introduction: optimized production and quality control of 68ga-dotatate as an efficient and preferable pet radiotracer for somatostatin receptor imaging in neuroendocrine tumors is of great interest. in this study effort has been made to present a fast, efficient, cost-effective and facile protocol for 68ga-dotatate productions for clinical trials. methods:68ga-dotatatewas prepared using genera...

oil production optimization is one of the main targets of reservoir management. smart well technology gives the ability of real time oil production optimization. although this technology has many advantages; optimum adjustment or sizing of corresponding valves is still an issue to be solved. in this research, optimum port sizing of inflow control devices (icds) which are passive control valves ...

biodiesel fuel, which is produced by transesterification reaction between alcohol and vegetable oil/animal fat is proposed as a clean alternative to petro diesel fuel. today, one of the new technologies to produce biodiesel is using ultrasonic energy that makes production faster, with improved quality and less expensive. various factors that affect the design of ultrasonic reactors are ratio of...

tendency to optimization in last decades has resulted in creating multi-product manufacturing systems. production planning in such systems is difficult, because optimal production volume that is calculated must be consistent with limitation of production system. hence, integration has been proposed to decide about these problems concurrently. main problem in integration is how we can relate pro...

this paper describes optimization method that combines the plackett-burman design, a factorial design and the response surface method, which were used to optimize the medium for the production of l-asparaginase by serratia marcescens sb08. four medium factors, from out of 11 medium factors, were screened by plackett-burman design experiments and subsequent optimization process to find out the o...

optimization of reservoir parameters is an important issue in petroleum exploration and production. the ant colony optimization(aco) is a recent approach to solve discrete and continuous optimization problems. in this paper, the ant colony optimization is usedas an intelligent tool to estimate reservoir rock properties. the methodology is illustrated by using a case study on shear wave velocity...
