Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDegumming of Raw Silk Fabric with Help of Marine Extracellular ProteaseDas Sumana, Mathummal Sudarshan, Ashoke Ranjan Thakur, Shaon RayChaudhuriProtease secreting microbe was isolated and characterized on the basis of their morphological, biochemical, physiological and 16S rDNA based molecular properties. The extracellular protease was quantified and characterized. Protease was used for different time (4, 8, 12 and 24 h) at different temperature (RT and 37°C) for optimization of the degumming process for raw silk fabric with enzyme dosage (0.2-1 … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 18 Mar 2013 · 8,498 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractKEY PARAMETERS OF MEASLES VIRUS PRODUCTION FOR ONCOLYTIC VIROTHERAPYK. Weiss, D. Salzig, M. D. Mühlebach et al.Attenuated measles virus has revealed selective tumor cell killing and is currently tested in clinical trials for the therapy of cancer patients. The amount of infectious particles per dose needed for oncolytic therapy can be more than a million times higher compared to vaccination. This requires highly effective production processes which guarantee the measles virus quantities needed for its use … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 22 Jun 2012 · 9,785 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimizing Coagulation Process for Low to High Turbidity Waters Using Aluminum and Iron SaltsAkbar Baghvand, Ali Daryabeigi Zand, Nasser Mehrdadi, Abdolreza KarbassiProblem statement: Turbid waters, containing colloidal particles, are normally treated by coagulation-flocculation followed by clarification. Ferric chloride and alum, which are the most common types of coagulants in water treatment plants of Iran as well as many other countries, were investigated with the aim of determining their capabilities to reduce turbidity of drinking water. Turbidity was added as kaolin. Optimization … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2010 · 21,079 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordStructural Optimization for Materially Informed Design to Robotic Production ProcessesH. Bier, S. MostafaviHyperbody’s materially informed Design-to-Robotic-Production (D2RP) processes for additive and subtractive manufacturing aim to achieve performative porosity in architecture at various scales. An extended series of D2RP experiments aiming to produce prototypes at 1:1 scale wherein design materiality has been approached from both digital and physical perspectives were recently implemented. At digital materiality level, a customized computational design framework for compression … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 11 Sep 2015 · 9,097 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordOptimization of Cultural Conditions for Production of Exopolysaccaride by Halomonas marina HMA 103 under Batch-CultureArundhati Pal, Amrita Biswas, Sriya Chatterjee, A. K. PaulA moderately halophilic bacterium, Halomonas marina HMA 103 (MTCC 8968) accumulating intracellular polyesters also produced significant amount of exopolysaccharides (EPS) under batch-culture. Production of EPS by the bacterium was more or less parallel with the growth in modified basal synthetic medium. During growth, it produced 0.46 g/L of EPS after 50 h of incubation and was accompanied by the complete … …Current Research in Microbiology, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 27 Jul 2015 · 7,932 accessesView PDFCite
