A NEW METAHEURISTIC ALGORITHM FOR SOLVING MULTI-OBJECTIVE SINGLE-MACHINE SCHEDULING PROBLEMS


Yeast cell wall mannan rich fraction modulates bacterial cellular respiration potentiating antibiotic efficacy

Abstract Now more than ever there is a demand to understand the mechanisms surrounding antibiotic resistance and look for alternative ways to impact phenotypic antibiotic outcome.Cellular energetics can be impacted by many bacteriostatic and bactericidal antibiotics, which affect metabolism and energy output, resulting in a reduction of cell growth

Performance evaluation of combined passive/active thermal charge/discharge latent heat tank with stabilized-solid-liquid storage material for intermediate thermal storage system

This study proposes a new model operation for an intermediate thermal storage (ITS) tank for solar water heater system.It combines passive-charge active-discharge (PCAD) in a single storage tank, potentially reducing the number of components of the system and improving the net energy balance.The charge process is done by heating the storage materia
