Replicative lifespan (RLS) of the budding yeast is the number of mother cell divisions until senescence and is instrumental to understanding mechanisms of cellular aging. Recent research has shown that replicative aging is heterogeneous, which argues...
This work presents a new distribution that allows modeling data from a random variable with non-negative values. The new family is defined by a stochastic representation of a scaled mixture of a random variable with a Gompertz distribution (G) and a...
This study deals with the mathematical modeling of crystallization kinetics occurring during batch production of the ice cream. The temperature decrease was recorded in-situ through a computerized wireless system. A robust pattern-recognition algorit...
This study investigates the early-age compressive strength development of concrete incorporating ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBFS) under varying water-to-binder (W/B) ratios (35%, 45%, and 55%) and curing temperatures (5 °C, 20 °C,...
A finite mixture of exponentiated Kumaraswamy Gompertz and exponentiated Kumaraswamy Fréchet is developed and discussed as a novel probability model. We study some useful structural properties of the proposed model. To estimate the model param...
Anaerobic co-digestion (AcoD) is a widely employed technique to produce biogas from simultaneous digestion of various biomasses. However, the selection of the optimal proportions of the substrates in the mixtures presents a challenge. This research u...
This study evaluates the potential of spent coffee grounds (SCGs) as a co-substrate to improve anaerobic co-digestion (AcD) performance, with a focus on biogas yield, methane (CH4) content, and the removal of volatile solids (VS) and total chemical o...
Sugar beet by-products are a lignocellulosic waste generated from sugar beet industry during the sugar production process and stand out for their high carbon content. Moreover, cow manure (CM) is hugely produced in rural areas and livestock industry,...
This study quantitatively analyzed the synergistic effects of co-digestion of slaughterhouse waste (SHW) with cattle manure (CM) and pig manure (PM) on methane production by applying statistical methods. The biochemical methane potential of volatile...
Propolis is a resinous mixture produced by honeybees, mainly from plant exudates. With a rich chemical composition including many phenolic compounds, mostly responsible for its biological properties, namely antimicrobial ones, propolis may be a promi...
The development of food waste anaerobic digestion (AD) is a contemporary research topic addressed in the scientific community to meet the requirements of food waste valorization and proper substrate configuration for an efficient AD process. In this...
In a climate crisis, searching for renewable energy sources is urgent and mandatory to achieve a low-carbon society. The food industry is an attractive source for providing different organic waste with great potential for energy generation, avoiding...
Anaerobic digestion (AD) is an attractive process for bioenergy production and is considered to be an alternative way to reduce landfills. AD improves municipal solid waste (MSW) management, representing a profitable application of the circular econo...
The current investigation explores biogas production from water hyacinth (WH) and fish waste (FW) with cow dung (CD) as an inoculum source in two scenarios. In the first scenario, the optimization of mono-digestion was performed where the effect of W...
The organic fraction resulting from the separate collection of municipal solid waste (OFMSW) is an abundant residue exploitable for biofuel production. Anaerobic digestion (AD) is one of the most attractive technologies for the treatment of organic w...
