The sensitivity of the yeast Pichia guilliermondii ATCC 201911 (L2) to Cr(VI) and Cr(III) has been investigated.This yeast was demonstrated to have much higher resistance to Cr(III), compared to Cr(VI).At chromate level of 2.0 mM, an expanded lag phase in growth was observed, ORG CHICK PEAS followed by the active phase of cell proliferation.During
The Fuzzy Economic Order Quantity Problem with a Finite Production Rate and Backorders
The track of developing Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) models with uncertainties described as fuzzy numbers has been very lucrative.In this paper, a fuzzy Economic Switches Production Quantity (EPQ) model is developed to address a specific problem in a theoretical setting.Not only is the production time finite, but also backorders are allowed.The un
Jet-powered Turbulence in Common Envelope Evolution
We conduct a three-dimensional hydrodynamical simulation of common envelope evolution (CEE) where a neutron star (NS) spirals in inside the envelope of Wall stickers a red supergiant star in a predetermined orbit.We find that the jets shed pairs of vortices in an expanding spiral pattern, inflate two expanding spirally shaped low-density bubbles, o
Wake Homing Torpedo Guidance Using a Hierarchical Deep Reinforcement Learning Framework
This paper proposes a novel Hierarchical Deep Reinforcement Learning (HRL) framework for wake homing torpedo guidance, applying the Discrete Event System Specification (DEVS) formalism to design high-level policies and reward shaping functions.Wake homing torpedo guidance generates course commands to enable the torpedo to follow the wake trajectory
Changes in defense of an alien plant Ambrosia artemisiifolia before and after the invasion of a native specialist enemy Ophraella communa.
The evolution of increased competitive ability hypothesis (EICA) predicts that when alien plants are free from their natural enemies they evolve lower allocation to defense in order to achieve a higher growth rate.If this hypothesis is true, the converse implication would be that the defense against herbivory could be restored if a natural enemy al
