Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhosphate-Solubilizing Salt-Tolerant Bacteria to Support Soybean Growth (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) On Saline SoilsIrina Smirnova, Amankeldi Sadanov, Gul Baimakhanova et al.Phosphorus is one of the important elements of plant nutrition that affect crop productivity. Increasing the availability of phosphorus through the use of microbial inoculants capable of stimulating soybean growth on saline soils is a promising solution to the problem. However, most phosphate-solubilizing bacteria are not capable of the growth and mobilization of phosphates on saline soils. The purpose of … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 24, Issue 1 · 2 Oct 2023 · 5,821 accessesView PDFCite

When thousands of sites involved in a grid computing system, data replication can improve data availability, communication cost and provide fault-tolerance in the system. In the literature, many replica control protocols have been proposed for managing replicated data. However, in large … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 12 · 24 Dec 2014 · 8,487 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDYNAMIC MODELING AND GAIN SCHEDULING CONTROL OF A CHIILLED WATER COOLING SYSTEMJun Liu, M. ZaheeruddinA dynamic model of a Chilled Water (ChW) cooling system with a stratified ChW tank was developed. A PI-based Gain Scheduling (GS) control strategy was designed to improve thermal performance of the chiller system. Five different operation strategies were simulated and the energy consumption and cost of operating the system under full load and partial load conditions were compared.
