The study aimed to develop a modern, cheap, and environmentally safe technology for the disposal of plant waste, with the participation of the most active microorganisms-destructors.The microorganisms’ ability to help transform plant waste into viable, fertile soil was extensively studied. We selected strains of micromycetes Penicillium roseopurpureum, Trichoderma hamatum, T. koningii, Alternaria alternata, and bacteria of the genus Cytophaga, which are characterized by high growth rate and the absence of phytotoxicity. To accelerate microorganism development, we used silicon-containing mineral analcime, which contained immobilized spores of micromycetes and bacterial cells’ suspensions. Modified analcime was added to the waste in a ratio of 10 : 1. The plant remains prepared in this method were analyzed under conditions of both model and vegetation experiments.An evidence for the expediency of using the silicon-containing mineral analcime as a starting substrate for immobilization of spores and suspension of bacterial cells in the culture fluid was provided. The microorganisms involved in the experiment showed a positive result in transforming plant waste during the 30-day observation period. The highest destructive activity against apple and grape waste is characteristic for the T. hamatum strain, for beet waste – P. roseopurpureum. The species-specificity of these destructive microorganisms on plant growth processes was proved. The maximum growth of corn sprouts in apple waste was detected by inoculation with T. koningii spores, grape waste – T. hamatum, and beet waste – a mixture of micromycetes with a Cytophaga sp. suspension. The optimal duration of plant waste transformation using analcime, inoculated with microorganisms, is 20–30 days. In the indoor farming conditions, the standard for utilizing the modified vegetable waste placement was 10 % of the total volume of a substrate during the preparation of soil mixes.The environmental safety of plant waste after their destruction was confirmed. The presence of a silicon-containing mineral in the mixture leads to increased growth and plant development, optimization of the agrophysical, agrochemical, and biological parameters of the soil, reducing soil fatigue, and increasing fertility.

A vertical hot-wall type epi-reactor that makes it possible to simultaneously achieve both a high rate of epitaxial growth and large-area uniformity at the same time has been developed. A maximum growth rate of 250 µm/h is achieved at 1650 °C. Thickness uniformity of 1.1 % and doping uniformity of 6.7 % for a 65 mm radius area are achieved while maintaining a high growth rate of 79 µm/h. We also succeeded in growing a 280 µm-thick epilayer with excellent surface morphology and long carrier lifetime of ~1 µs on average. The LTPL spectrum shows free exciton peaks as dominant, and few impurity-related or intrinsic defect related peaks are observed. The DLTS measurement for an epilayer grown at 80 µm/h shows low trap concentrations of 1.2×1012 cm-3 for Z1/2 center and 6.3×1011 cm-3 for EH6/7 center, respectively.

Production Technologies

In order to diffuse the use of SiC, mass-production technologies of SiC wafers are needed. It is easy to be understood that high-speed and long-sized growth technologies are connected directly with mass-production technologies. The gas source growth method such as HT-CVD has the possibilities and the potential of the high-speed and long-sized growth. In this article, it was clarified that the high growth rate were achieved by the control of the source gas partial pressures and by the gas boundary layers. The average growth rate was 1mm/h on the f4 inch-diameter crystal, and the maximum growth rate reached 3.6 mm/h on the 12.5x25 mm tetragon by the above gas control. The crystal qualities of the gas source methods were also evaluated the equivalent level in comparison with the sublimation method. Concerning the 1mm/h-growth f3 inch crystal, the densities of TSDs were kept in the 102 cm-2 levels from the seed to the upper-side of the ingot. Moreover, the ingot size increased year by year and a f4 inch x 43 mm sized ingot has been developed.

Available data on mortality, growth, reproduction, and stock size in exploited and unexploited populations of lake whitefish (Coregonus clupeaformis) are reviewed with a view to understanding the dynamics of exploited populations and improving their management. Natural mortality ranged from about 0.20 to 0.80 in unexploited populations. In exploited populations total mortality was as high as 0.94. Unexploited populations showed a wide range of growth rates. Growth rate increased with increasing exploitation, and growth rate in all heavily exploited populations was similar to the most rapid growth rate shown by unexploited stocks. Heavily exploited whitefish matured at a younger age and possibly also at a smaller size than those which were unexploited. Limited data on stock size suggest that although total population size declines under heavy exploitation, the vulnerable population remains of similar size.It is concluded that whitefish respond to fluctuations in population size through compensatory changes in growth rate, the difference between growth rate in a population and maximum growth rate is a measure of its scope for compensating for increased mortality. Populations with slow growth rate and low mortality should, therefore, have the best fishery potential, while those with high growth rate and high mortality have a low fishery potential. Further, it is possible to judge the fishery potential of a population or its stage of exploitation from relatively simple measurements of mortality, growth, age structure, and maturity.

The aim of the research was to establish quantitative and qualitative indicators of meat productivity of Simmental bull calves of various constitutional types when raised using the technology of beef cattle breeding. The maximum growth rate and the highest yield of meat products were obtained from Simmental bulls of the meat and dairy type when they were raised and fed according to the technology of beef cattle breeding. Receiving from the mothers for 205 days of the sucking period more fatty milk, they gave 1250 g of gain per day and reached 289.7 kg of live weight by the cut. Having retained a high growth rate in the future, they at the final fattening gave 1321 g of gain per day and at 20 months the live weight was 659.3 kg. The superiority of Simmentals over analogues was natural by 3.4–13.3% by weight of the steamed carcass, by 0.4–1.8% in slaughter yield, by 1.4–11.1 kg in terms of the amount of pulp in the carcass and pulp per bones by 0.1–0.3 kg, protein in meat by 0.12; 1.19; 2.59 kg and the amount of energy in the pulp by 0.14; 0.44; 1.75 MJ. Simmental bulls of the meat and dairy type also have a high ability to transform protein and feed energy into protein and energy from the pulp of the carcass.

Annual Growth Rate

1. A regular annual growth-rate cycle is demonstrated in wild and hatchery yearling brown trout; the fish have a high growth rate in the spring and autumn and a low growth rate during the summer and winter of each year. 2. Experimental work with constant-environment aquaria, together with the results of the field work, indicate that the water temperature is the main external environmental factor influencing the growth rate. Maximum growth rate is achieved at 12° C. 3. The reason for the fall in growth rate above 12° C. is discussed and it is suggested that inadequacy of the respiratory system of the fish is the prime cause.

The objective of this work was to isolate strains of lactic acid bacteria with probiotic potential from the digestive tract of marine shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei), and to carry out in vitro selection based on multiple characters. The ideotype (ideal proposed strain) was defined by the highest averages for the traits maximum growth velocity, final count of viable cells, and inhibition halo against nine freshwater and marine pathogens, and by the lowest averages for the traits duplication time and resistance of strains to NaCl (1.5 and 3%), pH (6, 8, and 9), and biliary salts (5%). Mahalanobis distance (D²) was estimated among the evaluated strains, and the best ones were those with the shortest distances to the ideotype. Ten bacterial strains were isolated and biochemically identified as Lactobacillus plantarum (3), L. brevis (3), Weissella confusa (2), Lactococcus lactis (1), and L. delbrueckii (1). Lactobacillus plantarum strains showed a wide spectrum of action and the largest inhibition halos against pathogens, both Gram-positive and negative, high growth rate, and tolerance to all evaluated parameters. In relation to ideotype, L. plantarum showed the lowest Mahalanobis (D²) distance, followed by the strains of W. confusa, L. brevis, L. lactis, and L. delbrueckii. Among the analyzed bacterial strains, those of Lactobacillus plantarum have the greatest potential for use as a probiotic for marine shrimp.

A unicellular marine microalga, Entomoneis sp. was isolated and studied as had become the dominant species according to other bacillariophyta species in different environmental fluctuations in Izmir Bay. Because of our effort to better understand the dynamics of this microalga that facilitates unprecedented domination, we conducted on a monoculture isolation study.In this study, experiments were planned with the annual range of the Izmir Bay temperature, and the demonstrated behavior of the species in light and nutrient conditions. The stock culture medium was illuminated by approximately 50μmol photons m-2s-1 of illumination with 14/24 daylight. The temperature of the climate chamber was set on the summer (T1 (21±1oC)), spring (T2 (17±1oC)) and winter (T3 (13±1oC)) of Izmir Bay. Experiments were also applied with four different light intensities (L1 (50 μmol photons m-2s-1), L2 (25 μmol photons m-2s-1), L3 (5 μmol photons m-2s-1) and L4 (dark)). In this context, nutrient measurements were made on samples of the exponential, stationary and death phase of the culture and nutrient analyses were carried out. The results, which were designed according to ceteris paribus assumptions, were adapted to Michaelis-Menten kinetics. Consequently, considering the lifetime of the diatom at different temperature conditions, T3 was determined as an optimum temperature. Maximum growth rate and process time were observed at this temperature. This is the evidence why these diatoms are available in the winter. Once the light intensity was increased, the growth rate was increased at the T1 and T2 temperatures. However, T3 had a high growth rate in the nearly L1 light intensity. Considering the consumption and transformation of different nutrient conditions, different results for both types of microalgae were obtained.

A vertical hot-wall type reactor, with a unique structure designed for controlling both gas flow behavior and thermal gradient (T/mm) on the susceptor surface, was developed. The simulation results indicate that depending on the height of the epitaxy room (h), the T/mm can be changed from a negative to a positive value. Preliminary epitaxial growth experiments resulted in a maximum growth rate of 51 μm/h, 4-inch area uniformity of σ/mean=1.7% for growth rate and σ/mean=21.5 % for doping concentration, and Z1/2 trap concentration of 9×1012 cm-3 at a growth rate of 43 μm/h.

towards jumping from the category of developing economy to developed economy there is one big factor that stops and poses a hindrance in its path of advancement and that obstacle is termed as Poverty. The Indian economic policy focuses on a high growth rate along with a equal participation of the poor so that they avail the opportunities available in the market economy. And in order to ensure the participation of the poor it has become important for the country to create a platform where the poor can easily access the various financial products. Microfinance is one such strategy for inclusive growth. Microfinance can change the life of the poor though not completely but a reasonable change can be ensured. In different phases of life women play a crucial role despite the discrimination that is faced by them. But equality can be endowed to women by enhancing the entrepreneurial skills in them. This is possible through Self Help Groups (SHGs). In India women produce around 30% of the total food consumed but she gets only 10% of the property or wealth of the country. Development of women is inevitable for the development and growth of any economy. SHGs happen to be a positive step in this direction. Along with these mediums there should be a cheap and easy source of credit for them and Microfinance fulfills the requirement. This study aims to find the role of this strong medium of Microfinance in the advancement of SHGs in India

Abstract. In this paper, conditions for obtaining high growth rate during epitaxial growth of SiC by vapor-liquid-solid mechanism are investigated. The alloys studied were Ge-Si, Al-Si and Al-Ge-Si with various compositions. Temperature was varied between 1100 and 1300°C and the carbon precursor was either propane or methane. The variation of layers thickness was studied at low and high precursor partial pressure. It was found that growth rates obtained with both methane and propane are rather similar at low precursor partial pressures. However, when using Ge based melts, the use of high propane flux leads to the formation of a SiC crust on top of the liquid, which limits the growth by VLS. But when methane is used, even at extremely high flux (up to 100 sccm), no crust could be detected on top of the liquid while the deposit thickness was still rather small (between 1.12 μm and 1.30 μm). When using Al-Si alloys, no crust was also observed under 100 sccm methane but the thickness was as high as 11.5 µm after 30 min growth. It is proposed that the upper limitation of VLS growth rate depends mainly on C solubility of the liquid phase.
