Some aspects are described of the kinetics of the growth of Gibberella fujikuroi in nitrogen-limited media containing either ammonium nitrate, ammonium acetate, ammonium tartrate, urea, or glycine. Also varied were inoculum size, agitation rate, pH, and initial concentrations of glucose and nitrogen source. The significance of kinetic parameters used in this, and published studies, is discussed.A lag phase was only found on ammonium acetate media or when high concentrations of glucose were present. Early growth was exponential on all nitrogen sources. On ammonium acetate the specific growth rate decreased at a dry weight of ca. 1 mg/g WS (Whole unfiltered Sample). On ammonium nitrate, early exponential growth utilized more NH3-nitrogen than NO3-nitrogen with a concomitant decrease in pH. In the range pH 3.0–2.8 NH3-nitrogen uptake and dry weight increase ceased, but NO3-nitrogen uptake continued, and the pH increased until growth and NH3-nitrogen uptake restarted. This pattern could be repeated. Finally, exponential growth was resumed at a low specific growth rate. On glycine, urea, and ammonium tartrate media, exponential growth continued to a dry weight of about 7 mg/g WS. During this period the uptakes relative to dry weight (contributions) of glucose, nitrogen, phosphate, and magnesium remained constant and were unaffected by the rate of agitation, as also was the specific growth rate, but the latter decreased with increasing glucose concentration.A period of linear growth could follow the exponential period. The contribution of glucose was greater, and that of phosphate and magnesium less, than during exponential growth. The dry weight at which exponential growth changed to linear growth was greater the higher the rate of agitation, and this change may be a response to oxygen restriction.After nitrogen exhaustion, fat and carbohydrate accumulation in the cells largely accounted for the increase in dry weight. The specific rates of dry weight increase and glucose uptake remained constant over the lower range of initial nitrogen concentrations. Both rates decreased with increasing nitrogen over the higher range.Gibberellic acid production began at, or soon after, nitrogen exhaustion. The amount present increased linearly with time. The productivity decreased with increasing glucose concentration, and first increased and then decreased with increasing initial nitrogen. The maximum amount produced was proportional to the initial nitrogen provided. Some published results are discussed in the light of these relations.

In this work, the biodegradation of nonylphenol by Rhodotorula sp. in batch culture was investigated over a wide concentration range (11~160 mg/l). Experimentally nonylphenol was an inhibitory type substrate to Rhodotorula sp.. Five kinetic models (Haldane, Webb, Yano, Aiba, and Teissier) were fit for the experimental growth kinetic data. It was found that the Haldane model was the most suitable one to predict the degradation of nonylphenol. The kinetic analysis demonstrated that bacterial growth and nonylphenol degradation of Rhodotorula sp. were based on a substrate concentration inhibition model. Analysis of growth factors indicated the highest specific growth rate (μ) of 0.127 h-1 was obtained at the initial nonylphenol concentration of 12.76 mg/l.

Abstract Globalization and complexity of the PCB supply chain has made hardware assurance a challenging task. An automated system to extract the Bill of Materials (BoM) can save time and resources during the authentication process, however, there are numerous imaging modalities and image analysis techniques that can be used to create such a system. In this paper we review different imaging modalities and their pros and cons for automatic PCB inspection. In addition, image analysis techniques commonly used for such images are reviewed in a systematic way to provide a direction for future research in this area. Index Terms—Component Detection, PCB, Authentication, Image Analysis, Machine Learning

This paper describes the research aimed at developing an effective quality assessment method for potato tubers using neural image analysis techniques. Nowadays, the methods used to identify damage and diseases are time-consuming, require specialized knowledge, and often rely on subjective judgment. This study showed the use of the developed neural model as a tool supporting the evaluation of potato tubers during the sorting process in the storage room.
