The paper presents a mathematical model of light-dependent chlorophyll concentration in the marine microalgae biomass. The model is based on the concept of biomass as the sum of reserve and structural macromolecular forms of organic cell matter. At the same time, chlorophyll refers to structural forms of biomass. Using such concepts, it is possible to apply known equations for light-dependent content of structural forms in biomass. The proposed equation describes well the experimental results obtained in a number of experiments with the chlorophyllostate culture Tetraselmis viridis.

The paper presents a modified mathematical model of light-dependent chlorophyll concentration in the microalgae biomass. The basic model is based on the concept of biomass as a sum of reserve and structural components. Considering that part of the structural biomass can turn into a reserve, the minimum irradiation parameter (“photosynthesis compensation point”) is added to the basic equation. Verification of the model on experimental data for turbidostat cultures of Tetraselmis viridis and Arthrospira platensis allowed us to evaluate species-specific coefficients. The obtained coefficient values are similar for both species. The share of chlorophyll in structural biomass is about 2 %, the maximum share of structural forms of biomass is 84 %, the economic conversion factor of reserve biomass to structural is 80–90 %, and the maximum specific rate of photosynthesis is 14–20 times higher than the rate of endogenous consumption of biomass.

The Des Moines River lost 65–75% of its algal standing crop (chlorophyll a) in passing through each of two impoundments (mean retention times 11 and 16 d), and chlorophyll concentrations within both impoundments were 50–90% below the predictions of empirical chlorophyll–nutrient models. Sedimentation of river-borne algae and light limitation within the impoundments were identified as major loss processes. A reduction in algal size from upstream to downstream in one reservoir paralleled the loss of algal biomass. Algal losses in each impoundment increased with both increasing retention time and water temperature so that chlorophyll concentration below the dams was uncoupled from the temperature and flow dependence seen in river reaches not influenced by impoundments. The reduction in riverine algal transport associated with reservoir transit was cumulative over the two-reservoir series; this reduction can be interpreted as a "reset" to river headwater conditions.

Abstract Positioning accuracy within the range of nanometers is required for high precision machining applications. The implementation of such a range is difficult through the slides because of (a) irregular nature of friction at the slider-guideway interface, and (b) complex motion characteristic at very low speeds. The complexity arises due to the local deformation at the interface prior to breakaway, which is known as microdynamics. In this work prior experimental results exhibiting microdynamics have been appraised, and mathematical model developed to understand this behavior.

Occlusion is a difficult problem to be solved in the process of target tracking. In order to solve the problem of occlusion, a new tracking method combined with trajectory prediction and multi-block matching is presented and studied,and a mathematical model of trajectory prediction of moving target is established in polar coordinates and verified through some experiments. The experimental results show that the new tracking method can be better to trace and forecast the moving target under occlusion.

This paper focuses on a simultaneous removal of trichlorfon and glucose that was added as carbon source for degradation requirement of trichlorfon. A hybrid bioreactor, having both suspended and magnetically immobilized biomass, was used for investigating this removal of both substances. To evaluate the respective roles of these two types of biomass, a mathematical model was developed and also verified well with experimental results. It has been found that the suspended biomass plays a key role in removing both substances in the system. This is due to complete coexistence of both trichlorfon-degrading and glucose-removing bacteria completely in each type of the biomass. Such a system would be applicable to the treatment of complex industrial wastewaters that contain easily biodegradable organics as well as refractory pollutants.

The new technology of superalloy vacuum-electromagnetic casting was developed and the feeding mathematical model melt in vacuum-electromagnetic casting was established. The availability of mathematical model was approved by the experiments of the IN100 superalloy. The experimental results indicate that the feeding capacity of melt in vacuum casting can be greatly increased by imposing the 50Hz, 60A rotating electromagnetic stirring, which can decrease the central shrinkage cavity in superalloy ingots, so the quality of the superalloy ingots can be wide-range improved.
