Thermobacteriological studies using Bacillus stearotherrnophilus spores were carried out by heating the spores under isothermal and non-isothermal conditions followed by an isothermal period. Ex perimental data obtained after isothermal heating were analyzed using a two-step linear regression procedure and a one-step nonlinear regression method. Results obtained using both analytical tech niques were close, but the 90% interval of confidence for predictions was lower when the one-step nonlinear regression was used. These results indicated the convenience of using the one-step nonlin ear regression method to obtain thermal kinetic parameters for bacterial spores. Also, the parameters obtained by a non-isothermal program followed by an isothermal heating period were similar to those obtained after isothermal heating. Nevertheless, the joint confidence regions at 90% did not overlap, indicating that there are significant differences. The z values obtained under isothermal (7.0 °C) and non-isothermal (8.5 °C) conditions are close and characteristic for this microorganisms.

Thermal kinetic parameters are very often used in the engineering practice for the simplified design of the heat exchangers. These thermal kinetic parameters must be determined from the experimental measurement. This contribution is aimed on the calculation of thermal kinetic parameters from the experimental measurements of heat exchanger water steam / hot water. In this case study are tested and compared tubes with the smooth and structured surface. Obtained results can be directly used in the engineering practice.

ABSTRACT A brief review of the characteristics of steroid binding proteins found in the plasma and in some target organs is presented, followed by some general remarks on binding »specificity« and binding parameters. Useful techniques for measuring binding parameters at equilibrium are reported, both those which keep the equilibrium intact and those which implicate its disruption. A concept is developed according to which the determination of a specific steroid binding protein is based on the »differential dissociation« of the several steroid binding complexes present in most biological mixtures. Methods which allow determination of the kinetic parameters of the binding systems are also presented. Various representations of the binding and therefore different modes of graphic representation and calculation are discussed, including the recent »proportion graph« method.

ABSTRACT The effects of ethanol on kinetic parameters of placental Δ5-3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase were studied. In the presence of high pregnenolone concentrations (50 μm, [S] > Km) the microsomal enzyme preparation exhibited an almost linear increase in activity as the ethanol concentration in the medium was raised from 2.5 to 15 % (v/v). At lower substrate concentrations ([S] << Km) ethanol caused inhibition. Other effects of ethanol were: linearity of product formation with time was prolonged; the maximal velocity was markedly increased; the Km for pregnenolone slightly decreased with increasing ethanol concentrations (2.5 to 10 %, v/v) whereas the Km for NAD remained the same. The pH and temperature optima of the reaction were unaffected by ethanol. Other organic solvents caused similar effects.

Indole-3-acetic acid is a growth phytohormone considered the most important representative of auxin class. This paper presents the assessment of some kinetic parameters in the process of transport of indole-3-acetic acid taking into consideration the kinetic model of consecutive irreversible first order reactions. It was pursued the influence upon the process of parameters such as: feed phase concentration, stripping phase concentration in the presence of two type carriers: tributyl phosphate (TBP) and trioctylphosphine oxide (TOPO). Depending on these transport parameters were calculated kinetics parameters such as: pseudo-first-order apparent membrane entrance and exit rate constants, the maximum flux at the entrance and exit out of the membrane. The highest values of the transport flux is obtained in the presence of carrier trioctylphosphine oxide (TOPO) at the concentration in the feed phase of 10-4 mol/L indole-3-acetic acid and a concentration of 10--2mol/L NaOH in the stripping phase.

A technique for rapidly determining Monod and inhibition kinetic parameters in activated sludge is evaluated. The method studied is known as the fed-batch reactor technique and requires approximately three hours to complete. The technique allows for a gradual build-up of substrate in the test reactor by introducing the substrate at a feed rate greater than the maximum substrate utilization rate. Both inhibitory and non-inhibitory substrate responses are modeled using a nonlinear numerical curve-fitting technique. The responses of both glucose and 2,4-dichlorophenol (DCP) are studied using activated sludges with various acclimation histories. Statistically different inhibition constants, KI, for DCP inhibition of glucose utilization were found for the various sludges studied. The curve-fitting algorithm was verified in its ability to accurately retrieve two kinetic parameters from synthetic data generated by superimposing normally distributed random error onto the two parameter numerical solution generated by the algorithm.
