We study steady states in a reaction-diffusion system for a benthic bacteria-nutrient model in a marine sediment over 1D and 2D domains by using Landau reductions and numerical path following methods.We point out how the system reacts to changes of the strength of food supply and ingestion.We find that the system has a stable homogeneous steady sta
Problem-Based Learning Discussion to Introduce Quality Improvement to Residents in the Perioperative Setting
Introduction Quality improvement (QI) is a growing and critical part of perioperative medical practice.However, there are few examples of educational tools to introduce new learners from anesthesiology to QI.This may Sailing Boots contribute to a lack of enthusiasm to learn about and apply these concepts.Methods This problem-based learning discussi
Molecular evolution of cyclin proteins in animals and fungi
Abstract Background The passage through the cell cycle is controlled by complexes of cyclins, the regulatory units, with cyclin-dependent kinases, the catalytic units.It is also known that cyclins form several families, which differ considerably in primary structure from one eukaryotic organism to another.Despite these lines of evidence, the relati
Effects of Adding Silica Fume and Empty Fruit Bunch to the Mix of Cement Brick
Silica fume (SF) and palm oil empty fruit bunch (EFB) are the by-products of the ferroalloy smelting industry and oil palm plantation, which require proper disposal to minimize the environmental impacts.To consume the by-products, the feasibility of utilizing SF and EFB to fabricate bricks was studied.Limited studies were adopting EFB as the natura
