Health-promoting effects have been attributed to a number of Bifidobacterium sp.strains.These effects as well as the ability to colonise the host depend on secreted proteins.Moreover, rational design of protein secretion systems bears the potential for the generation of novel probiotic bifidobacteria with improved health-promoting or therapeutic pr

In this paper we consider a class of nonlinear dynamical systems with fractional Pancake / Crepe Rakes damping.The problem is transformed into a system of fractional-order differential equations.A computationally effective fractional predictor-corrector method is used to simulate and examine the effects and solution behavior of the nonlinear dynami

To assist atmospheric monitoring at high-alpine sites, a statistical approach for distinguishing between the dominant air masses was developed.This approach was based on a principal component analysis using five gas-phase and two meteorological variables.The analysis focused on the Schneefernerhaus site at Zugspitze Mountain, Germany.The investigat

Distillation columns separating components of high relative volatility are characterised by sharp temperature profiles and a highly non-linear relationship between adapter temperature and reboil rate.This paper presents a stability analysis of the problem in a typical case which shows that both linearisation and dynamic compensation techniques are

The test lecture rooms on Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (KU Leuven) Ghent Technology Campus (Belgium) are a demonstration case of Annex 62: Ventilative Cooling of the International Energy Agency’s Energy in Buildings and Communities programme (IEA EBC).The building is cooled by natural night ventilation and indirect evaporative cooling (IEC)
