Optimizing mycelial growth of Trametes versicolor HBB 7328 for enzyme production and green energy by Nikita Goyat, Rajeev Kumar Kapoor, Baljeet Singh Saharan, Prexha Kapoor, Deepika Dhanda

“…The research found that the fungus achieved maximal mycelial growth at 30°C (8.24 mm/day) and pH 7 (6.34 mm/day). Among various carbon sources, maltose resulted in the highest growth rate of 10.62 mm/day, whereas malt extract proved to be the most effective nitrogen source, supporting a growth rate of 8.96 mm/day. …”

The impact of school closures on pandemic influenza:Assessing potential repercussions using a seasonal SIR model by Sherry Towers, Katia Vogt Geisse, Chia-Chun Tsai, Qing Han, Zhilan Feng

“…When a new pandemic influenza strain has been identified, mass-production of vaccines can take several months, andantiviral drugs are expensive and usually in short supply.Social distancing measures, such as school closures, thus seem an attractive means to mitigate disease spread.However, the transmission of influenza is seasonal in nature, and as has been noted in previousstudies,a decrease in the average transmission rate in a seasonal disease modelmay result in a larger final size.In the studies presented here,we analyze a hypothetical pandemic using a SIR epidemic model with time- and age-dependent transmissionrates; using this model weassess and quantify, for the first time, thethe effect of the timing and length of widespread school closures oninfluenza pandemic final size and average peak time.…”

Reengineering of business processes in the context of application of new organizational schemes of construction management by S. B. Sborschikov, N. V. Lazareva

“…As a result, there is an increase in contradictions between the conditions for the implementation of investment and construction activities and the organization of construction management, which is the reason for the emergence of new options for the implementation of business processes, their addition and integration with production and security processes, i.e. the emergence of new organizational schemes for construction management. One of these schemes can be used to manage construction on the basis of production and engineering centre. …”

Impact of Power Ultrasound on Antihypertensive Activity, Functional Properties, and Thermal Stability of Rapeseed Protein Hydrolysates by Asif Wali, Haile Ma, Muhammad Shahnawaz, Khizar Hayat, Jian Xiaong, Li Jing

“…Compared to the hydrolysates obtained without sonication, the amino acid profile of ultrasound pretreated hydrolysates showed significant changes particularly in the proline content and hydrophobic amino acids with an increased rate of 2.47% and 6.31%, respectively. Ultrasound pretreatment (600 watts, 12 min) improved functional properties of protein hydrolysates over control by enhancing surface hydrophobicity and solubility index with an increased rate of 130.76% and 34.22%. …”
