Also, it is a potential substrate for bio-products such as enzymes and biofuels. Thus, the aim of the study was at the optimization of solid to liquid ratio (w/v), pH, and fermentation period for maximal cellulase of Bacillus subtilis natto DSM 17766 by the Box-Behnken response surface method (RSM) using grape pomace hydrolysate (GPH). The GPH was obtained by autoclaving the grape pomace slurry prepared with 3% (w/v) H2SO4, shown to be better than 5%, at 121.1 °C for 15 min and filtering after pH adjustment. Cellulase was assayed by the DNS method using filter paper as substrate. The maximum cellulase activity was predicted at 0.178 IU/mL with solid to liquid ratio of 15:100 (w/v), pH 6.0, and 7 days of fermentation according to the response surface model, which agreed well to its experimental counterpart (0.176 IU/mL). The results also confirm higher impact of fermentation period and pH in comparison to change in grape pomace amount. Thus, this study shows that Bacillus subtilis natto can be a good producer of cellulase using the grape pomace hydrolysate as a low-cost carbon source.

© 2021 The Author(s)The Deepwater Horizon oil spill of 2010 brought the ecology and health of the Gulf of Mexico to the forefront of the public's and scientific community's attention. Not only did we need a better understanding of how this oil spill impacted the Gulf of Mexico ecosystem, but we also needed to apply this knowledge to help assess impacts from perturbations in the region and guide future response actions. Phytoplankton represent the base of the food web in oceanic systems. As such, alterations...
Heavy Z′ bosons in the secluded U(1) ′ model at hadron colliders
Frank, Mariana; Selbuz, Levent; Turan, İsmail (2021-05-01)
© 2021, The Author(s).We study Z′ phenomenology at hadron colliders in an U(1) ′ extended MSSM. We choose a U(1) ′ model with a secluded sector, where the tension between the electroweak scale and developing a large enough mass for Z′ is resolved by incorporating three additional singlet superfields into the model. We perform a detailed analysis of the production, followed by decays, including into supersymmetric particles, of a Z′ boson with mass between 4 and 5.2 TeV, with particular emphasis on its possi...
Co-adaptation in Context with Iranian, Russian and Turkish Policies on Syrian Complexity: The Emergence of the Astana Process
Çoban, Mehmet İlbey (2021-01-01)
© 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.This research is based on explaining the dynamics that led the Iran, Russia and Turkey to initiate Astana Process within the framework of the Syrian Civil War’s changing dynamics. The article intends to combine power politics with the “complexity” paradigm. Linear ontology is problematic in explaining the changing dynamics. On the other hand, the complexity paradigm explains non-linear processes derived from its ontological fou...
Designing and implementing a STEM career maturity program for prospective counselors

© 2021, The Author(s).Background: Although the importance of directing students to career options in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields at early ages has been emphasized in the literature, it has not been clearly stated just who will play a role in this process and what kind of consultancy process will be followed. It is of great importance for prospective counselors, who are studying in the field of counseling, to master the career selection process, specifically for STEM, towa...

Published by Cambridge University Press in association with the European Microwave Association.In this paper, we present a linear to circular polarization converter integrated in a concrete structure to eliminate signal transmission problem originated from the concrete buildings in microwave regime. Two polarization converter samples and a control specimen made by traditional concrete are designed and their signal transmission responses are compared experimentally. Axial ratio values w...
