Integration of artificial intelligence and advanced optimization techniques for continuous gas lift under restricted gas supply: A case study by Leila Zeinolabedini, Forough Ameli, Abdolhossein Hemmati-Sarapardeh

“…In addition, the net present value (NPV) serves as the objective function. To optimize the selected input variables, including tubing inside diameter, gas injection rate, and separator pressure, various optimization algorithms such as particle swarm optimization (PSO), ant colony optimization (ACO), genetic algorithm (GA), and a Novel optimization algorithm in a gas-lift study called grey wolf optimization (GWO), were utilized considering the constraint of the limited available gas. …”

Gene-Environment Interactions in Stress Response Contribute Additively to a Genotype-Environment Interaction. by Takeshi Matsui, Ian M Ehrenreich

“…To shed light on this problem, we genetically dissected an environment-specific poor growth phenotype in a cross of two budding yeast strains. This phenotype is detectable when certain segregants are grown on ethanol at 37°C ('E37'), a condition that differs from the standard culturing environment in both its carbon source (ethanol as opposed to glucose) and temperature (37°C as opposed to 30°C). …”

GENERATION AND COLLECTION OF TOBACCO AEROSOL FOR SHISHA by N. N. Bubnova, M. V. Shkidyuk

“…Qualitative characteristics of tobacco aerosol for shisha are determined by the functional purpose and depend on the component composition of the tobacco mixture and the coal used.The purpose of the research is to develop a methodology for the comprehensive assessment of tobacco for shisha based on modern methods of product quality control and includes the following steps:- monitoring of the studies to determine the component composition of the hookah mixture and the aerosol produced;- analysis of hookah mixture testing modes and development of an aerosol generation protocol;- development of a method for collecting aerosol on a laboratory smoking machine; - quantitative analysis of toxic analytes by HPLC MS / MS method.Methods have been developed for the machine generation and collection of tobacco aerosol for hookah, taking into account low concentrations of the analyzed toxic substances.The expediency of using the HPLC MS / MS method to determine the quantity of the following substances in tobacco aerosol for shisha has been substantiated:- carbonyl compounds (formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, acrolein) by detection on an electrospray source in the negative polarity mode- tobacco specific nitrosoamines (NNN and NNK) by detection on an electrospray source in the positive polarity mode.During the research laboratory and analytical equipment was used: a five-channel linear CERULEAN SM 405 smoking machine; Thermo Scientific Dionex UltiMate 3000 liquid chromatograph and TSQ Quantiva mass spectrometer.Obtaining experimental data on the quantitative determination of the component composition of the aerosol produced by tobacco for shisha using hookah systems is relevant for assessing toxic characteristics of the product.…”

High throughput screening and evaluation of salt-tolerant mutants from an EMS collection of Cucurbita pepo by Sonsoles Alonso, Keshav Gautam, Jessica Iglesias-Moya, María Segura, María del Mar Rebolloso, María del Carmen Salas-Sanjuán, Cecilia Martínez, Manuel Jamilena

“…This enhanced salt tolerance was found to be associated with increased production of proline, soluble sugars, and anthocyanins, which are known to exert osmoprotective and ROS scavenging functions. The mutant lines TS-1378 and TS-2075 were selected to be tested as rootstocks and showed a positive effect on the vegetative growth of scions under standard and saline conditions. …”
