Optimization of cellulase production by thermophilic mould Myceliophthora thermophila BJTLRMDU3 was studied in solid state fermentation. Myceliophthora thermophila produced maximum cellulase (45.81 U/g DMR) at substrate to moisture ratio of 1:3 with 5-d old inoculum at water activity 0.95, ammonium sulfate (0.5%) and PEG 20000 (0.5%) at 45 °C using “one variable at a time”...
The article presents the optimal design of geothermal energy piles supporting a multi-story building at different pile spacing. The optimization model OPTPILE, based on the construction cost of the single pile, was used for this purpose. It was provided with geotechnical and structural design constraints that satisfy the requirements of building codes. The optimal...
