EVALUATING CLASSIFICATION TOOLS FOR THE PREDICTION OF IN-VITRO MICROBIAL PYRUVATE YIELD FROM ORGANIC CARBON SOURCES.

Evaluating classification tools for the prediction of in-vitro microbial pyruvate yield from organic carbon sources.

The laboratory-scale (in-vitro) microbial fermentation based on screening of process pedal arm set parameters (factors) and statistical validation of parameters (responses) using regression analysis.The recent trends have shifted from full factorial design towards more complex response surface methodology designs such as Box-Behnken design, Central

Inflammatory and immune responses in the cochlea: potential therapeutic targets for sensorineural hearing loss

The inner ear was previously assumed to be an immune-privileged organ due to the existence of its tight junction-based blood-labyrinth barrier.However, studies performed during the Rack Mount past decade revealed that the mesenchymal region of the cochlea, including its lateral wall, is a common site of inflammation.Neutrophils do not enter this re
