Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMulti-Phase Support Vector Regression Soft Sensor for Online Product Quality Prediction in Glutamate Fermentation ProcessRongjian Zheng, Feng PanGlutamate fermentation is inherently nonlinear, multi-phase and an aerobic fermentation process. As long measurement delays and expensive apparatus cost, on-line measurement of the product concentration is not necessarily available. The present fermentation process monitoring and quality prediction involve manual interpretation of highly informative, however, the concentrations of substrates, biomass and products are only low frequency off-line measurements. In this paper, … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 6 Jun 2017 · 8,067 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUnderstanding Hybrid Additive Manufacturing of Functional DevicesSantosh Kumar Parupelli, Salil DesaiThe fabrication of electronic components in three-dimensional space is critical for building multifunctional devices. Traditional manufacturing approaches are limited to building planar device configurations. In order to address this limitation, our group has developed a novel hybrid additive manufacturing process that can deposit multi-material patterns on conformal substrates. This direct-write approach involves the combination of microextrusion, pico jet and laser … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 20 Mar 2017 · 8,154 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhotoelectrochemical Corrosion of GaN/AlGaN-Based p-n StructuresAlexander Usikov, Heikki Helava, Alexey Nikiforov et al.Direct water photoelectrolysis using III-N materials is a promising way for hydrogen production. GaN/AlGaN based p-n structures were used as working electrodes in a photoelectrochemical process to investigate the material etching (corrosion). The structures were grown on sapphire substrates by chloride Hydride Vapor Phase Epitaxy (HVPE). First, the etching process occurs near vertically via channels associated with defects in the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2016 · 7,335 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGraphene Synthesis by Plasma-Enhanced CVD Growth with EthanolTeresa Campo, María Cotto, Francisco Márquez et al.A modified route to synthesize graphene flakes is proposed using the Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) technique, by using copper substrates as supports. The carbon source used was ethanol, the synthesis temperature was 950°C and the pressure was controlled along the whole process. In this CVD synthesis process the incorporation of the carbon source was produced at low pressure and 950°C … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 27 Jul 2016 · 9,146 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigating Effects of Water Conditioning on the Adhesion Properties of Crack SealantAhmed Lamarre, Elham H. Fini, Taher M. Abu-LebdehThis paper investigates the effect of water exposure on three different crack sealants commonly used in cold, moderate and hot climates. It is hypothesized that water penetrates into the interface between crack sealant and substrates causing progressive adhesion failure and that the rate of failure varies depending on the sealant’s surface chemistry as relates to its interaction with water molecules … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 14 Mar 2016 · 8,778 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfluence of Cadmium and Glucose on Soil Microbial CommunitiesAliya Gilmullina, Polina Galitskaya, Svetlana SelivanovskayaA laboratory-based simulation of exposure of the soil community in a gray forest soil to cadmium and glucose has been conducted. It was established that while growing in a fertile medium microbial communities isolated from a soil sample contaminated with cadmium have a substantially increased phase of growth delay and there is a reduction in total growth. While analyzing communities … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 10 · 6 Nov 2015 · 6,645 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHeterologous Expression and Characterization of Thermostable Levansucrase (BsSacB) from Bacillus subtilis BB03Viniti Vaidya, Gajjeraman Prabu, D. Theertha PrasadThermostable levansucrase encoding gene (sacB) with its promoter was isolated from Bacillus subtilis BB03. BsSacB is composed of 1419 bp, encoding 473 amino acid residues and with promoter regions TTGCAA (-35) and TAGAAT (-10). The amino acid sequence analysis of BsSacB showed conserved motifs of microbial fructosyltransferase belonging to Glycoside Hydrolase family 68 (GH68).
