Missing stop sign cited in bus crash
LITTLE ROCK — A school bus driven by a substitute driver collided with a pickup truck at a rural intersection Wednesday morning, injuring several children, and a school official said a stolen stop sign was to blame.
Eighteen students from the bus were taken to hospitals, though no one was admitted. Three children in the pickup and its driver were treated for more substantial injuries. David Woolly, the Alma school district's deputy superintendent, said one had a broken leg and another had a spleen injury.
"It was a serious accident, no doubt," Mr. Woolly said. "This accident occurred because someone stole a stop sign."
The bus had 45 students aboard and was two-thirds through its route when the collision occurred, he said. Children on the bus immediately called their parents to let them know what happened, and many parents were on the scene within minutes, he said.
9 dead, 17 saved after boat sinks
MIAMI BEACH — At least nine people died after a boat apparently carrying Haitian migrants sank off the Florida coast, the Coast Guard said Wednesday.
Coast Guard Capt. James Fitton said 17 people had been rescued, but a search was under way for more. Authorities weren't sure how many were aboard the boat, but they thought about 30 were dumped into the sea.
The sinking fits the profile of migrant smuggling, officials said, but they were not sure whether the boat capsized or crashed into something.
The boat apparently left Bimini in the Bahamas on Tuesday night. It was thought to have flipped about 2 a.m., but officials didn't learn about it until another boater called more than 10 hours later. The boater reported pulling three people from the water and said about 25 others were awaiting rescue.
Capt. Fitton said all the survivors were expected to recover. Children and women, including one pregnant one, were among those aboard the vessel.

Have you ever found yourself sitting at a hockey game and said to yourself, "man, I'd like to go and get a tattoo between periods?"
If so, and if you happen to be a fan of the New York Islanders, you're in luck because the club has reached an agreement with Tattoo Lou's to become the official tattoo shop of the Islanders, according to a team press release.
Not only will Tattoo Lou's been known as the official tattoo shop of the team, they will also be setting up a tattoo and body piercing station at 10 home games during the 2011-12 season, and will also sell Islanders-related jewelry and tattoo-inspired shirts. Keep in mind, this is also the same organization that signed a deal to have an official cupcake supplier last season. So they're definitely no strangers to unique corporate partnerships
Islanders Senior Vice President of Corporate Partnerships, Justin Johnson, said the team is thrilled to bring another Long Island institution to the arena, and that "Tattoo Lou's is an innovative brand with a creative vision. They're a great fit with our energetic team on the ice and our youthful fan base around Long Island."
Lou Rubino, the President of Tattoo Lou's, considers the partnership a victory for the Tattoo Industry.
"For a long time, tattoos were frowned upon," said Rubino. "But now, we've become more and more mainstream. One of the main things I love about this partnership is the history the Islanders have. My dad opened his first shop in 1958. We're a part of Long Island history just like the Islanders."
Tattoo's really aren't my cup of tea, mainly because I'm not sure I have the pain tolerance to sit through the entire process, and also because I would probably change my mind and want something different within a couple years of actually getting the thing. Still, I find the partnership to be, if nothing else, very interesting.
And it's not like hockey and tattoo's are an unheard of match, as a large percentage of the players across the league have had some tattoo work done at one time or another.

Montreal Canadiens (37-31-6) at Boston Bruins (34-33-5), 7:30 p.m.
(Sports Network) - The Montreal Canadiens have improved their play recently
and hope to continue that trend tonight, when they visit the Boston Bruins at
TD Banknorth Garden for the finale of a home-and-home series.
Earlier this month, the Canadiens were mired in a four-game losing streak, but
the club has won four of its last five contests since then.
However, the Habs are still fighting for their playoff lives and come into
tonight's action tied with Toronto and Carolina for the eighth and final
postseason spot in the East. The Hurricanes will also be in action tonight, as
they host the Washington Capitals.
The opener of this home-and-home set was on Tuesday evening at Montreal's Bell
Centre, where the Canadiens skated away with a close triumph. Guillaume
Latendresse scored the lone goal of the contest and Jaroslav Halak notched
his first career shutout as the Canadiens edged the Bruins, 1-0.
Halak stopped 30 shots, including 14 in a busy third period for Montreal,
which has won back-to-back games.
Tim Thomas finished with 31 saves for Boston, which has lost five of its last
The Bruins were once in the heat of the playoff race, but have now fallen into
13th place in the East with 73 points. They are just seven points behind the
trio holding the final postseason berth in the conference, but would have to
also get past Florida and the New York Islanders before breaking into the top
eight spots.
This evening's contest is the first of two straight at home for the Bruins,
who are 18-15-3 as the host this year but have dropped four of their last six
in Beantown. However, Montreal is just 15-19-3 as the away club and has been
defeated in six of its last seven road tests.
The season series between these two Original Six franchises is tied at three
wins apiece, but the Canadiens have take eight of its last 11 matchups with

No wrong ever came of buying at LD.
Might have to give them a call. I was in one LD perusing a few weeks back and only saw an older m4/3 body. Did not even ask about new OMD or batteries.

My observations about the OU defense in the spring game Saturday:
* On the first snap of the game, Trey Millard bolted for an 11-yard run. On the second snap, Brennan Clay gained 15 yards off a handoff, despite a high snap from center that threw off the timing of the play. On the third snap, Clay gained 12 yards.
Bob Stoops was steaming.
But eventually, Stoops' defense stiffened. The Sooners used 32 more running plays the rest of the day, and only three went for more than six yards.
"Early on, I didn't feel they played the run like they should," Stoops said. "But for the most part, they showed good discipline."
Of course, the OU run game hasn't exactly been a dynamo in recent years. So let's reserve judgment. Thirty-five running plays, and six went for double-digit yardage. That's not a good ratio, although the overall average gain per rush – 4.0 – was not too bad.
* The pass coverage was mostly solid. Few receivers ran free. The quarterbacks combined to complete 35 of 54, but most completions were short. Beleaguered safety Javon Harris got beat deep by Jaz Reynolds on Blake Bell's scramble, but Stoops exonerated Harris, calling it a scramble play. "That happens," Stoops said. "The ball's thrown over the opposite shoulder, the receiver sees it, the DB doesn't."
Still, it's got to be a little disconcerting to see Harris get beat in the spring, while playing strong safety, the same way he got beat in the autumn, while playing free safety. "We just gave up that one big play, but going into the game that was our main focus," said safety Tony Jefferson. "So, it's kind of disappointing giving up a play like that. I feel like we bounced back and made some good plays."
* The pass rush was not fierce. Only two sacks were recorded. But two things: 1. blitzing was at a minimum; 2. The Big 12 officiating crew was slow to blow the whistle, while the Sooner defenders were leery of hitting their blue-jerseyed teammate. OU coaches don't hold much sway over the refs; over the players, they do.
* Hard hits: linebacker Jaydan Bird, safety Jesse Paulsen.
Tipped passes: cornerback Demontre Hurst, defensive end Chuka Ndulue.
Sacks: safety Julian Wilson.
Big plays: defensive tackle Torrea Peterson, Jefferson, defensive tackle Jordan Phillips.
* Bad sign: the Sooners produced no turnovers. Hurst came closest to an interception. "It kind of caught me by surprise to see the ball coming at me that fast," he said. "I kind of got my hands on it. I really wanted that pick and think it could've sealed the game for us. That's just one thing that I have to work on. They gave me a hard time on the sideline already. They were telling me I could've closed out the game for us, but I'll be alright. It's just one thing I have to work on and make sure I'm able to make that play on the ball."
* Only two touchdowns were scored. Bell's big play, plus fourth-team QB Kendall Thompson's last-ditch drive of 80 yards in nine plays, with the clocking running out. Afterward, Jefferson played diplomat. With everyone clamoring to know who will be the second-team quarterback, Bell or Drew Allen, Jefferson said, "I really like what Kendall (Thompson) was doing. He really came out and played today. What he does best is run. He scrambled a lot and he also threw pretty well. He caught my eye, and he's always had the talent."
* You couldn't tell if the Sooners really did simplify the defense under new coordinator Mike Stoops, since the defense is always simplified in the spring. But don't go believing linebacker Cory Nelson, who said, "There haven't been any changes at all."
But Nelson said man-to-man coverage has been emphasized: "Being able to not get beat deep, allowing the secondary and the linebackers to become cohesive and help each other on certain routes. We also just worked on remaining physical. That's a key point we really focused on here in the spring."

Southern Lady
I was born and raised in Texas so I'm a little old fashioned and a bit southern. I consider myself a girly girl but grew up hunting and fishing with my dad. I'm looking for a true gentleman, someone who enjoys life's little moments. I really do think that when it comes down to it, love is ALWAYS enough. Life is hard and it's not always fair, but being surrounded by people who love you can make it all worth while. I am very close to my family and would like to eventually start my own. My parents have been married 34 years. I have a twin sister and a younger brother. I talk to my family almost every day. My twin and I are VERY similar and tend to spend most of time together laughing. I love to cook, especially baking. The Food Network magazine is my favorite. I try to catch the farmer's market every few weeks to stock up on some fresh items. I cook dinner at home most nights but enjoy checking out the local restaurants as well. I do tend to make more healthy items but think dessert is important to throw in every now and then! I am a firm believer that cupcakes can cure anything. I'm French so wine is always a good option as well! Working out is a priority to me, it helps balance my love of food. I spend my free time running or laying in the sun. I'm fairly new to the running scene but working on it! I do enjoy the races around town on a free weekend. I grew up in Texas, went to med school in Phoenix and now live here so it's fair to say I'm a warm weather gal.

Article: Cultivation and anaerobic digestion of Scenedesmus spp. grown in a pilot-scale open raceway[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Digestibility of a micro-algal mixture was evaluated by mesophilic anaerobic digestion in continuously-stirred tank reactors. The culture consisted primarily of Scenedesmus spp. continuously cultivated over a 6-month period in a 100 m2 raceway reactor instrumented to record pH, dissolved oxygen and temperature. The raceway received supplementary carbon in the form of flue gas from a diesel boiler (10% CO2) injected into a 1-m deep sump to control pH in the range 7.8–8.0. Dilution was optimised to biomass productivity and gave values of 10–15 and 20–25 g total suspended solids (TSS) m− 2 day− 1 in winter (December–February) and spring (April–May), respectively. The culture for the anaerobic digestion trial was harvested in February by centrifugation to give an algal paste containing 4.3% volatile solids (VS). Semi-continuous digestion at organic loading rates of 2.00, 2.75 and 3.50 g VS l− 1 day− 1 gave volumetric biogas productions of ~ 0.66, ~ 0.83 and ~ 0.99 l l− 1 day− 1, respectively. Specific methane yield ranged from 0.13 to 0.14 l CH4 g− 1 VSadded with biogas methane content ~ 62%. Overall the digestion process was stable, but only ~ 30% VS destruction was achieved indicating low biodegradability, due to the short retention times and the recalcitrant nature of this type of biomass.Algal Research 07/2014; 5:95–102.

ABSTRACT: Microalgae are produced today for human and animal markets, as food-feed and source of active compounds. Microalgae can be also used in wastewater treatment and they has been proposed as biofuels source to reduce global warming problem. Whatever the final application of microalgae its production is based on the same principles as light availability, enough mass and heat transfer and adequate control of culture parameters. In this paper these principals are revised. Moreover, the production must be carried out at adequate scale using photobioreactors. Design of photobioreactor is determined by the final use of biomass and quality required. Different designs today used are revised, including last designs proposed, identifying his characteristics parameters and applications. In addition, the obligation of adequate control strategies is discussed. Finally, the bottlenecks for the scale-up of the different technologies and thus of microalgae production are summarized.Reviews in Environmental Science and Bio/Technology 06/2013; 12(2).

Article: Development of a process for efficient use of CO2 from flue gases in the production of photosynthetic microorganisms[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A new methodology to use efficiently flue gases as CO(2) source in the production of photosynthetic microorganisms is proposed. The CO(2) is absorbed in an aqueous phase that is then regenerated by microalgae. Carbonated solutions could absorb up to 80% of the CO(2) from diluted gas reaching total inorganic carbon (TIC) concentrations up to 2.0 g/L. The pH of the solution was maintained at 8.0-10.0 by the bicarbonate/carbonate buffer, so it is compatible with biological regeneration. The absorption process was modeled and the kinetic parameters were determined. Anabaena sp. demonstrated to tolerate pH (8.0-10.0) and TIC (up to 2.0 g/L) conditions imposed by the absorption step. Experiments of regeneration of the liquid phase demonstrated the feasibility of the overall process, converting CO(2) into organic matter. The developed process avoids heating to regenerate the liquid whereas maximizing the efficiency of CO(2) use, which is relevant to achieve the commercial production of biofuels from microalgae.Biotechnology and Bioengineering 07/2012; 109(7):1637-50.

Article: Development of a process for the production of L-amino-acids concentrates from microalgae by enzymatic hydrolysis.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A process for the production of l-amino-acids concentrates from microalgae biomass by enzymatic hydrolysis has been developed. The process includes pre-treatment for cell-disruption, enzymatic hydrolysis and final separation by centrifugation. Thermal and mechanical cell-disruption methods have been tested, selecting mechanical disruption using bead milling for 30 min. The enzymatic hydrolysis was done using the commercial enzymes Alcalase and Flavourzyme. Maximum hydrolysis was obtained for biomass concentrations under 270 g/l and previous additional treatment with Viscozyme, reaching a 42% hydrolysis. Repeated reaction steps increased the hydrolysis from 42% (4h) with a single step to 59% (8h) after two successive steps. Further increase of the number of steps had a meagre impact on the global yield. The process widens the portfolio of products that can be obtained from microalgae biomass and is a new possibility to enhance the economic viability of microalgae-based biofuels production processes.Bioresource Technology 02/2012; 112:164-70.

Article: Utilization of Anabaena sp. in CO₂ removal processes: modelling of biomass, exopolysaccharides productivities and CO₂ fixation rate.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This paper focuses on modelling the growth rate and exopolysaccharides production of Anabaena sp. ATCC 33047, to be used in carbon dioxide removal and biofuels production. For this, the influence of dilution rate, irradiance and aeration rate on the biomass and exopolysaccharides productivity, as well as on the CO(2) fixation rate, have been studied. The productivity of the cultures was maximum at the highest irradiance and dilution rate assayed, resulting to 0.5 g(bio) l(-1) day(-1) and 0.2 g(eps) l(-1) day(-1), and the CO(2) fixation rate measured was 1.0 gCO(2) l(-1) day(-1). The results showed that although Anabaena sp. was partially photo-inhibited at irradiances higher than 1,300 μE m(-2) s(-1), its growth rate increases hyperbolically with the average irradiance inside the culture, and so does the specific exopolysaccharides production rate. The latter, on the other hand, decreases under high external irradiances, indicating that the exopolysaccharides metabolism hindered by photo-damage. Mathematical models that consider these phenomena have been proposed. Regarding aeration, the yield of the cultures decreased at rates over 0.5 v/v/min or when shear rates were higher than 60 s(-1), demonstrating the existence of thus existence of stress damage by aeration. The behaviour of the cultures has been verified outdoors in a pilot-scale airlift tubular photobioreactor. From this study it is concluded that Anabaena sp. is highly recommended to transform CO(2) into valuable products as has been proved capable of metabolizing carbon dioxide at rates of 1.2 gCO(2) l(-1) day(-1) outdoors. The adequacy of the proposed equations is demonstrated, resulting to a useful tool in the design and operation of photobioreactors using this strain.Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology 02/2012; 94(3):613-24.

ABSTRACT: Scenedesmus almeriensis is a fast-growing highly productive new strain and is also a good producer of lutein.The aim of this study was to determine the influences of pressure and temperature on the supercritical fluid extraction of lutein and β-carotene from a freeze-dried powder of the marine microalga, S. almeriensis. The operating conditions were as follows: pressure in the range 200–600bar and temperatures between 32 and 60°C. The extracts were analysed by HPLC. Empirical correlations were also developed.The results demonstrate that it is necessary to work at a pressure of 400bar and a temperature of 60°C to obtain a significant yield in the extraction of pigments. In comparison with the reference extraction process used, the results show that better yields are obtained in the extraction of β-carotene; it is possible to extract 50% of the total of this pigment contained in the microalga studied.Food Chemistry 12/2010; 123(3):928-935.

ABSTRACT: Maximum photobioreactor (PBR) efficiency is a must in applications such as the obtention of microalgae-derived fuels. Improving PBR performance requires a better understanding of the "light regime", the varying irradiance that microalgal cells moving in a dense culture are exposed to. We propose a definition of light regime that can be used consistently to describe the continuously varying light patterns in PBRs as well as in light/dark cycles. Equivalent continuous and light/dark regimes have been experimentally compared and the results show that continuous variations are not well represented by light/dark cycles, as had been widely accepted. It has been shown that a correct light regime allows obtaining photosynthetic rates higher than the corresponding to continuous light, the so-called "flashing light effect" and that this is possible in commercial PBRs. A correct PBR operation could result in photosynthetic efficiency close to the optimum eight quanta per O(2).Bioresource Technology 10/2010; 102(3):3138-48.

ABSTRACT: Lutein is an antioxidant that has gathered increasing attention due to its potential role in preventing or ameliorating age-related macular degeneration. Currently, it is produced from marigold oleoresin, but continuous reports of lutein-producing microalgae pose the question if those microorganisms can become an alternative source. Several microalgae have higher lutein contents than most marigold cultivars and have been shown to yield productivities hundreds of times higher than marigold crops on a per square meter basis. Microalgae and marigold are opposite alternatives in the use of resources such as land and labor and the prevalence of one or the other could change in the future as the lutein demand rises and if labor or land becomes more restricted or expensive in the producing countries. The potential of microalgae as a lutein source is analyzed and compared to marigold. It is suggested that, in the current state of the art, microalgae could compete with marigold even without counting on any of the improvements in microalgal technology that can be expected in the near future.Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology 03/2010; 86(1):27-40.

ABSTRACT: In this paper the utilization of the cyanobacteria Anabaena sp. in carbon dioxide removal processes is evaluated. For this, continuous cultures of this strain were performed at different dilution rates; alternatives for the recovery of the organic matter produced being also studied. A maximum CO(2) fixation rate of 1.45 g CO(2) L(-1) day(-1) was measured experimentally, but it can be increased up to 3.0 g CO(2) L(-1) day(-1) outdoors. The CO(2) is mainly transformed into exopolysaccharides, biomass representing one third of the total organic matter produced. Organic matter can be recovered by sedimentation with efficiencies higher than 90%, the velocity of sedimentation being 2.10(-4) s(-1). The major compounds were carbohydrates and proteins with productivities of 0.70 and 0.12 g L(-1) day(-1), respectively. The behaviour of the cultures of Anabaena sp. has been modelized, also the characteristics parameters requested to design separation units being reported. Finally, to valorizate the organic matter as biofertilizers and biofuels is proposed.Bioresource Technology 08/2009; 100(23):5904-10. DOI:10.1016/j.biortech.2009.04.070 · 5.04 Impact Factor
Article: A kinetics study on the biodegradation of synthetic wastewater simulating effluent from an advanced oxidation process using Pseudomonas putida CECT 324.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Bacterial growth on mixed substrates is employed for wastewater treatment. Biodegradation kinetics of Pseudomonas putida CECT 324 growth on formic acid, vanillin, phenol and oxalic acid mixtures is described. The experiments were carried out in a stirred-tank fermentor in batch mode at different temperatures (25, 30 and 35 degrees C) and pH (5, 6 and 7). The four compounds selected are typical intermediates in pesticide-contaminated water treated by advanced oxidation processes (AOPs). The toxicity of intermediates was investigated for a combined AOP-biological treatment, and the minimum DOC inhibitory concentration of the intermediate mixture was 175 ppm. The resulting biodegradation and growth kinetics were best described by the sum kinetics with interaction parameters (SKIP) model. Phenol and oxalic acid inhibit P. putida growth, and formic acid consumption strongly affects the biodegradation of oxalic acid. At all the temperatures tested and at pH between 5 and 7, P. putida CECT 324 was able to degrade the four substrates after culture times of 30 h at 30 degrees C and pH 7, which were the best conditions, and after 70 h, under the worst, at 35 degrees C.Journal of Hazardous Materials 04/2008; 151(2-3):780-8.

Article: Combined photo-Fenton and biological oxidation for pesticide degradation: effect of photo-treated intermediates on biodegradation kinetics.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Biodegradability of a partially photo-oxidized pesticide mixture is demonstrated and the effect of photo-Fenton treatment time on growth and substrate consumption of the bacteria Pseudomonas putida CECT 324 is shown. Four commercial pesticides, laition, metasystox, sevnol and ultracid, usually employed in citric orchards in eastern Spain, were chosen for these experiments. The active ingredients are, respectively, dimethoate, oxydemeton-methyl, carbaryl and methidathion. Judging by biomass measurements, dissolved organic carbon measurements and biodegradation efficiency, it may be concluded that 90min<t(30W)<110min is the critical point for the photo-Fenton treatment. P. putida is sensitive to photo-produced intermediates giving rise to different kinetic behaviour: longer lag phases, slower growth rates and lower carbon uptake rates. Nonetheless, the percentage of carbon consumption was over 80%, pointing out the biodegradability of the mixture. Biodegradation efficiencies (E(f)) of the photo-reaction intermediates were around 60%, in small 50-ml cultures and in a 12-l bubble column bioreactor. But with the main difference that E(f) in the former took 120h and the same biodegradation was reached in less than 30h in the latter. Therefore, for qualitative results, experiments in flasks might be recommendable, but not for quantitative results for designing purposes.Chemosphere 03/2008; 70(8):1476-83.

Article: Comparative analysis of the outdoor culture of Haematococcus pluvialis in tubular and bubble column photobioreactors[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The present paper makes a comparative analysis of the outdoor culture of H. pluvialis in a tubular photobioreactor and a bubble column. Both reactors had the same volume and were operated in the same way, thus allowing the influence of the reactor design to be analyzed. Due to the large changes in cell morphology and biochemical composition of H. pluvialis during outdoor culture, a new, faster methodology has been developed for their evaluation. Characterisation of the cultures is carried out on a macroscopic scale using a colorimetric method that allows the simultaneous determination of biomass concentration, and the chlorophyll, carotenoid and astaxanthin content of the biomass. On the microscopic scale, a method was developed based on the computer analysis of digital microscopic images. This method allows the quantification of cell population, average cell size and population homogeneity. The accuracy of the methods was verified during the operation of outdoor photobioreactors on a pilot plant scale. Data from the reactors showed tubular reactors to be more suitable for the production of H. pluvialis biomass and/or astaxanthin, due to their higher light availability. In the tubular photobioreactor biomass concentrations of 7.0 g/L (d.wt.) were reached after 16 days, with an overall biomass productivity of 0.41 g/L day. In the bubble column photobioreactor, on the other hand, the maximum biomass concentration reached was 1.4 g/L, with an overall biomass productivity of 0.06 g/L day. The maximum daily biomass productivity, 0.55 g/L day, was reached in the tubular photobioreactor for an average irradiance inside the culture of 130 microE/m2s. In addition, the carotenoid content of biomass from tubular photobioreactor increased up to 2.0%d.wt., whereas that of the biomass from the bubble column remained roughly constant at values of 0.5%d.wt. It should be noted that in the tubular photobioreactor under conditions of nitrate saturation, there was an accumulation of carotenoids due to the high irradiance in this reactor, their content in the biomass increasing from 0.5 to 1.0%d.wt. However, carotenoid accumulation mainly took place when nitrate concentration in the medium was below 5.0mM, conditions which were only observed in the tubular photobioreactor. A similar behaviour was observed for astaxanthin, with maximum values of 1.1 and 0.2%d.wt. measured in the tubular and bubble column photobioreactors, respectively. From these data astaxanthin productivities of 4.4 and 0.12 mg/L day were calculated for the tubular and the bubble column photobioreactors. Accumulation of carotenoids was also accompanied by an increase in cell size from 20 to 35 microm, which was only observed in the tubular photobioreactors. Thus it may be concluded that the methodology developed in the present study allows the monitoring of H. pluvialis cultures characterized by fast variations of cell morphology and biochemical composition, especially in outdoor conditions, and that tubular photobioreactors are preferable to bubble columns for the production of biomass and/or astaxanthin.Journal of Biotechnology 06/2006; 123(3):329-42.

Article: Cost-effective production of C-13, N-15 stable isotope-labelled biomass from phototrophic microalgae for various biotechnological applications[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The present study outlines a process for the cost-effective production of 13C/15N-labelled biomass of microalgae on a commercial scale. The core of the process is a bubble column photobioreactor with exhaust gas recirculation by means of a low-pressure compressor. To avoid accumulation of dissolved oxygen in the culture, the exhaust gas is bubbled through a sodium sulphite solution prior to its return to the reactor. The engineered system can be used for the production of 13C, 15N, and 13C-15N stable isotope-labelled biomass as required. To produce 13C-labelled biomass, 13CO2 is injected on demand for pH control and carbon supply, whereas for 15N-labelled biomass Na15NO3 is supplied as nitrogen source at the stochiometric concentration. The reactor is operated in semicontinuous mode at different biomass concentrations, yielding a maximum mean biomass productivity of 0.3 gL(-1) day(-1). In order to maximize the uptake efficiency of the labelled substrates, the inorganic carbon is recovered from the supernatant by acidification/desorption processes, while the nitrate is delivered at stochiometric concentration and the harvesting of biomass is performed when the 15NO3- is depleted. In these conditions, elemental analysis of both biomass and supernatant shows that 89.2% of the injected carbon is assimilated into the biomass and 6.9% remains in the supernatant. Based on elemental analysis, 97.8% of the supplied nitrogen is assimilated into the biomass and 1.3% remains in the supernatant. Stable isotope-labelling enrichment has been analysed by GC-MS results showing that the biomass is highly labelled. All the fatty acids are labelled; more than 96% of the carbon present in these fatty acids is 13C. The engineered system was stably operated for 3 months, producing over 160 g of 13C and/or 15N-labelled biomass. The engineered bioreactor can be applied for the labelling of various microalgae.Biomolecular Engineering 01/2006; 22(5-6):193-200. DOI:10.1016/j.bioeng.2005.09.002 · 3.17 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: The influence of fluid-dynamic conditions on the yield of Phaeodactylum tricornutum microalgal cultures was analyzed in two stages: first, the influence of air flow rate; second, the influence of using fluid-moving pumps for recirculating the culture. With respect to the air flow rate, the yield of the cultures increased with the aeration rate up to values of 2.0 v/v/min, then stress was observed and the yield of the cultures decreased. With respect to the influence of mechanical power supply for liquid impulsion, three different types of pumps--centrifugal, pulse, and peristaltic--were essayed at different power supplies. The cultures were stressed for the three types of pumps essayed. For each pump, the higher the power supply the lower was the Fv/Fm value and the higher was the stress at which cells were exposed. The highest measured stress was when the culture was moved with the centrifugal pump. Despite measured stress, for all the experiments stable steady states were reached, thus indicating that cells reduced their yield but did not die, as was verified by cell viability measurements. It was observed that the increase of the power supply improved the frequency of light exposition thus enhancing the yield of the cultures. However, the higher the power supply, the lower the microeddy length scale; therefore, stress could appear. Data demonstrated that the microeddy length scale was always much higher than cell size and therefore the turbulence was not responsible for stress. Also, the mass transfer was discarded as responsible for yield reduction. It was concluded that the shear rate was the factor determining the existence of stress phenomena. The evaluation of these shear rates demonstrated that values above 30-80 s(-1) damaged the cells strongly. These data were verified in an outdoor pilot-scale tubular photobioreactor that was implemented with the same type of pumps, thus demonstrating the necessity to take into account this factor in the design and scale-up of microalgal photobioreactors.Biotechnology and Bioengineering 10/2004; 87(6):723-33.

Article: Minimization of carbon losses in pilot-scale outdoor photobioreactors by model-based predictive control[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The optimization of carbon use in pilot-scale outdoor tubular photobioreactors is investigated in this study. The behavior of a 0.20-m(3) tubular photobioreactor was studied, with and without algae, by steady-state and pulse dynamic-response analysis experiments. A model of the system was obtained and implemented in a programmable control unit and was used to control the reactor under normal production conditions. Results showed that, using and on-off control, the mean daily CO(2) flow in the reactor was 0.86 g min(-1), 19.7% of this being lost. By using a predictive control algorithm the mean daily CO(2) flow was reduced to 0.74 g min(-1), with losses being reduced to 15.6%. In this case, pH tracking was not adequate, especially at the beginning and end of the daylight period, because the variation in solar irradiance was not considered. Taking solar irradiance into account resulted in better performance, with mean daily CO(2) flow reduced to 0.70 g min(-1), and carbon losses reduced to 5.5%. pH tracking was improved and valve actuation was reduced. Improvement of pH control reduced pH gradients in the culture, which increased the photosynthesis rate and biomass productivity of the system. Biomass productivity increased from 1.28 to 1.48 g L(-1) day-(1) when on-off control was replaced by model-based predictive control plus solar irradiance effect mode. Implementation of this methodology in outdoor photobioreactors can increase productivity by 15% and reduce the cost of producing biomass by >6%. Clearly, application of effective control techniques, such as model-based predictive control (MPC), must be considered when developing these processes.Biotechnology and Bioengineering 12/2003; 84(5):533-43.

Article: Production of lovastatin by Aspergillus terreus: effects of the C:N ratio and the principal nutrients on growth and metabolite production[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Production of lovastatin and microbial biomass by Aspergillus terreus ATCC 20542 were influenced by the type of the carbon source (lactose, glycerol, and fructose) and the nitrogen source (yeast extract, corn steep liquor, and soybean meal) used and the C:N mass ratio in the medium. Use of a slowly metabolized carbon source (lactose) in combination with either soybean meal or yeast extract under N-limited conditions gave the highest titers and specific productivity (∼0.1 mg g−1 h−1) of lovastatin. The maximum value of the lovastatin yield coefficient on biomass was ∼30 mg g−1 using the lactose/soybean meal and lactose/yeast extract media. The optimal initial C:N mass ratio for attaining high productivity of lovastatin was ∼40. The behavior of the fermentation was not affected by the method of inoculation (fungal spores or hyphae) used, but the use of spores gave a more consistent inoculum in the different runs.Enzyme and Microbial Technology 08/2003; DOI:10.1016/S0141-0229(03)00130-3 · 2.97 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: The production of microalga Phaeodactylum tricornutum in an outdoor helical reactor was analysed. The influence of temperature, solar irradiance and air flow rate on the yield of the culture was evaluated. Biomass productivities up to 1.5 g l(-1) per day and photosynthetic efficiency up to 14% were obtained by maintaining the cultures below 30 degrees C, dissolved oxygen levels less than 400% Sat. (with respect to air saturated culture) and controlling the cell density in order to achieve an average irradiance within the culture below 250 microE m(-2) s(-1). Under these conditions, the fluorescence parameter, Fv/Fm, which reflects the maximal efficiency of PSII photochemistry, remained roughly 0.6-0.7 and growth rates up to 0.050 h(-1) were achieved. The average irradiance and the light/dark cycle frequency, were the variables determining the behaviour of the cultures. A hyperbolic relationship between growth rate and biomass productivity with the average irradiance was observed, whereas both biomass productivity and photosynthetic efficiency linearly increased with the light/dark cycle frequencies. Optimum design and operational conditions which maximise the production of P. tricornutum biomass in outdoor helical reactors were determined.Journal of Biotechnology 07/2003; 103(2):137-52.

It is sooooo beautiful, too, and the green with the silver band matches so perfectly. The stones are shiny and clear and sparkle brightly. What a treasure and a great price deal.
Stunningly Beautiful !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just received the citrine ring in yellow gold and it is stunningly beautiful. The stones are like yellow diamonds and have a wonderful clarity and sparkle. It looks great with the yellow gold for the band part. Beautiful ring and a joy to wear.
Nice Ring
By sue
from vancouver
I ordered this ring in the garnet ygp. The design is very nice and the gold is not too brassy. It is a substantial ring. The stones are a good size, however, they are very dark red, you would almost think they are black. I ordered my normal size 5 and find it fits smaller than other size 5 rings I have. For the price it's a pretty good ring.
Pleasantly surprised
By SHARON
from EDMONTON
I was pleasantly surprised but the look and quality of this ring for the price. Wanted to order more but were out of my size in the colors I wanted.
better than expected
I love this ring! I ordered the blue topaz w/rhodium and it is beautiful. Nice and sparkly and fits perfectly. It is such a good price I had to get another one in a different stone. The 6 easy pays made this a no brainer.An excellent buy!!!

Trainer Don Rice, who was recently injured at his Central Florida farm, died Jan. 6 at a Gainesville hospital, Tampa Bay Downs has reported. He was 72.
Rice was injured Jan. 3 at his Antigo Ranch near Anthony, Fla. There were no witnesses to the incident. Initial law enforcement reports speculated he may have been kicked in the head by a horse, but Rice's daughter, Paula Williams, told Daily Racing Form it is believed her father was struck by a gate after a horse had broken through it.
The horseman was found unconscious and airlifted to the Shands at the University of Florida Hospital in Gainesville, where he succumbed to his injuries.
An eight-time leading trainer Tampa Bay Downs, Rice set the single meet mark of 44 winners in the 2001-2002 meet.
Funeral services are scheduled to be held from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Jan. 11 at Hier's Funeral Home in Ocala, the track reported.

UN seeks $1 billion to feed Sahel
Syrian crisis is distracting attention from 11 million people at risk in Africa's desolate arid zone, the UN says.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
DAKAR—The United Nations appealed on Wednesday for more than $1 billion to help feed 11 million people at risk across Africa's arid Sahel belt, warning that the crisis in Syria was distracting donors from the Sahel humanitarian situation.
The UN Office for the Co-ordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said this year's war in northern Mali, in which a French-led military campaign destroyed an Islamist enclave, had worsened annual food shortages across the region.
Some 175,000 Malian refugees are camped in neighbouring Burkina Faso, Mauritania and Niger, placing strain on scant food supplies. Another 353,000 people are displaced within Mali itself, having abandoned their homes and livelihoods.
Robert Piper, the UN regional humanitarian co-ordinator for the Sahel, said donor governments had provided only $607 million from an estimated $1.7 billion needed this year to help people at risk of hunger and malnutrition across the desolate region, which runs east to west across Africa.
"Humanitarian funding is also under huge pressure now because of Syria. The amount of money required for Syria is off the chart," Piper said, noting that $4 billion from a global UN humanitarian appeal of $9 billion was earmarked for Syria.
The conflict in Syria has killed 100,000 people and, according to the UN, driven 1.7 million more to seek sanctuary outside the country.
The amount of money already spent on Mali for non-humanitarian ends could also explain donor fatigue. The deployment of a 12,000-strong UN peacekeeping mission from this month could cost some $700 million a year, Piper said.
"Mali is overshadowing the rest of the region a little bit. I suspect in some capitals they feel they are doing a lot for the Sahel already," he said.
The number of people at risk from hunger this year is down from 18 million in 2012, when the nine-country Sahel region was struck by drought for the second time in three years, OCHA said. However, 11.3 million people still remain at risk from food insecurity despite good rains.

Editorial reviews
Twenty years (1946-66) of reciprocal, unconditional support between the twin sensibilities and manifestly unlike personalities of Nancy Mitford and Evelyn Waugh, expressed in a private shorthand of shared history and coined language. Mitford, refreshingly, "can never take [her]self seriously as a femme de lettres" or anything else; Waugh, depressive and dyspeptic, finds her characterological happiness "entirely indecent," and her punctuation "pitiable," but convention is hardly her strong suit. Or his. They write about writing (especially their own) and about politics and economics and money - Waugh unbendingly conservative, Mitford flexibly socialist ("All the poor people in the world & so on. It's terrible to love clothes as much as I do"). But chiefly they write about Society, exchanging news of scandals and slights in their overlapping circles, peevishly keeping tabs on their pets: Cyril Connolly, a.k.a. Smartyboots or just S. Boots; Diana "Honks" Mitford Mosley, the fascist sister; Lady Diana "Honks" (also) Cooper and husband, Duff; Jessica "Dekka" Mitford, the communist sister; cousin Randolph Churchill, not always "on speakers" with Nancy; "Prod," her mostly absentee husband, Peter Rodd; the "Colonel," her mostly absentee lover, Gaston Palewski. Their common references can be suffocatingly precious or jarring - they consistently consider Jews a breed apart. Their contrariness bonds them at least as much and makes for better material: Mitford is a passionate expatriate who settles in France after the war and sprinkles her letters with idiomatic French; Waugh is a resolute Francophobe who tolerates America (which she abhors); he's a father, she's childless. Withal, they seek each other's counsel and salve each other's loneliness irreplaceably. Editor Mosley (wife of Mitford's nephew and editor of Love from Nancy, 1993) orders their high gossip appreciatively and authoritatively, contributing conscientious footnotes, welcome biographical apparatus, and the admonition that the whole correspondence is "to be read as entertainment, not as the unvarnished truth." Best in controlled doses. Quite the battle of wits. (Kirkus Reviews)

It is hard for me to walk away from pulled pork. Not only they taste good, but they are pretty versatile. You can use pulled pork on burgers, wraps, rice (yes…we can make everything work with rice), and of course noodles too, and any other starches you like!
For this recipe, I used the pulled pork recipe from the winner of Bobby Flay's Throwdown cookbook and I used the black pepper vinegar sauce from Bobby Flay's. I personally think this combo was super delicious.
When it comes to making pulled pork, there is simply no short cut to the amount of cooking time. If you plan to make this, just know that this recipe requires an overnight of marinating the pork and then an additional of 8-10 hours of slowly roasting the pork which resulted in super tender pulled pork.
If you ask me..seriously woman, do you think this is worth making ? I will tell you in a heart beat.. Yes, it does, every minute of it. I like easy and simple recipes too and I really don't mind going all out every now and then for super treat like this!! Which is why you see vast variety of recipes on my site, from very easy to more complicated ones and anything in between. It's always nice to have varieties 😉
- 3-4 lbs bone-in pork shoulder with some fat
- 6 to 8 cups apple juice, for the roasting pan and for spraying
- 1 Tbsp kosher salt
- 2 Tbsp dark brown sugar
- ¼ cup chili powder
- 1½ Tbsp sweet Spanish paprika
- 1½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1¼ tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp taco spice
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp dry mustard
- ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp freshly grated nutmeg
- ⅛ tsp curry powder
- ⅛ tsp ground coriander
- ⅛ tsp ground cumin
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup rice vinegar
- ¼ cup Dijon mustard
- 1 Tbsp honey
- 1½ tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp coarsely ground black pepper
- ¾ cup plus 2 Tbsp canola oil
- The night before you roast the pork, coat it heavily with the dry rub. Wrap in plastic wrap or place in a plastic bag, and refrigerate overnight
- Remove the pork from the refrigerator 2 hours prior to cooking. Preheat the oven to 250 F
- Put the pork butt, fat side up, in a roasting pan with enough apple juice to cover the bottom of the pan. Cook in the oven until the exterior of the pork is mahogany colored, about 4 hours, adding more apple juice as needed. If the exterior is drying out, spray the pork with apple juice
- Carefully transfer the pork to long pieces of the double-layered heavy-duty foil. Pull up the sides of the foil, add ½ cup apple juice to the foil, and wrap so it's as airtight as possible. Return to the oven and cook until the internal temperature of the pork is 190 F to 195 F, 4 to 5 hours
- Unwrap, let cool, slightly, and pull the pork to the desired consistency. Serve on a hamburger bun, or tortilla wrap if you wish and top with the black pepper vinegar sauce
- Combine the vinegar, mustard, honey, salt, and pepper in a blender and blend until smooth. With the motor running, slowly add the oil until emulsified
