1. Fed-batch biological reactor: material balances with Monod kinetics and operating methods:

• it maintains some operational characteristics of the batch, while ensuring constant biomass production such as a CSTR
• Therefore, there is an inlet supply with V˙e and [substrate] Cse and negligible Cxe
• since it is not a continuous reactor, it will never reach the steady state condition, there will always be an accumulation
• at zero time there will be: a certain initial V_R with an initial [substrate], initial [biomass] and subsequently the volume will increase over time.
• Total biomass balance:
• dmtot / dt = me, with me = ρe V ,e,
• from this relationship we obtain that
  1. dVr / dt = V˙e.

In the periodic table, elements are classified into metals, nonmetals, and metalloids. Metals are ductile, malleable, shiny, are good conductors for heat and electricity. All metals are solids at room temperature and pressure except, Mercury. Nonmetals exist as solids, liquids, or gases. A liquid non-metal at room temperature and pressure is Bromine.

The Model of Valuation of Financial Assets by the Arbitrage Pricing Theory

Stephen Ross developed this theory in 1976. It is an equilibrium model for asset valuation. Its central idea is the expected return on an asset must be a linear function of its systematic risk. The APT considers that the only risk that the market is willing to remunerate is the systematic one, since the rest of the risk can be eliminated via diversification. According to this model, the systematic risk is the fundamental explanatory factor of the performance of the profitability of financial assets, although that is not measured only by the beta coefficient of the profitability of an individual asset with respect to the profitability of the market portfolio, but by a...

Linguistic Concepts

2. (1.5p) Define the following concepts as they have been used in this course, giving an example of each:

Meronymy

Meronymy is the semantic relation between a lexical item denoting a part and that denoting the corresponding whole. Meronyms are mentally triggered, since our minds have scripts, e.g., knowledge about event sequences due to knowledge of the world. We have scripts for events that commonly occur in our lives, such as going to a doctor's office, a restaurant, a library, or the supermarket.

Converses

Converses are pairs of opposite terms characterized by the following feature: when one member of the pair is substituted for the other, the new sentence can be made logically equivalent to the original one by interchanging... Continue reading "Linguistic Concepts: Definitions and Examples" »

My Future Starts Now

What do you think your future self will thank you for?

Good morning, I’m here today to tell you about how your choices affect your future and have a big impact on the rest of your life.

Minimum Level or Safety Stock

The minimum level is the minimum quantity of the material which must be maintained in hand at all times. The quantity is fixed so that the production is not held up due to shortage of the materials. In fixing this level, the following factors should be considered:

• Lead time i.e. time lag between indenting and receiving of the material. It is the time required to replenish the supply.
• Rate of consumption of the material during the lead time.
• Nature of the material. Minimum level is not required in case of a special material which is required against customer’s specific order.

Maximum Stock Level
