    Cell size, genome size, and maximum growth rate are near

    A weak nonlinearity (6% of variance) was found whereby high maximum growth rates (temperature-adjusted) tended to occur in the midrange of cell diameters. Species identified in the literature as oligotrophs or copiotrophs were clearly separated on the dimension of maximum growth rate, but not on the dimensions of genome size or …

    Flotation in Water and Wastewater Treatment

    In dispersed-air flotation, the finer the bubble size (obtained by changing in the cell the used porous diffuser), the better the results; as was apparent from a respective comparison—see for example in Figure 5. An approximate bubble size of 0.79–0.83 mm was calculated for the D4 diffuser, with pore diameter 10–16 μm (being the lower).

    This work studied the viabilities of five types of cells (two yeast cells, Saccharomyces cerevisiae CBS 1171 and Candida utilis; two bacterial strains, Escherichia coli and Lactobacillus plantarum; and one human leukemia K562 cell) as a function of cooling rate during freezing.The range of investigated cooling rates extended from 5 to …

    The metabolic demands of cancer cells are coupled to their size …

    Background: Although cells require nutrients to proliferate, most nutrient exchange rates of the NCI60 panel of cancer cell lines correlate poorly with their proliferation rate. Here, we provide evidence indicating that this inconsistency is rooted in the variability of cell size. Results: We integrate previously reported data characterizing …

    Hydrodynamics of froth flotation and its effects on fine and …

    Size-by-size analysis has indicated that hydrodynamic conditions are not "one size fits all" for different particle size fractions to obtain an optimum recovery (Amini et al., 2017, Schubert and Bischofberger, 1978).An obvious example is shown in Fig. 2, illustrating the conflicting hydrodynamic zones of best flotation performance for fine and …

    Forced-air flotation cell

    Flotation is about creating the proper energy dissipation rate in the cells to obtain optimal contact between the air bubbles and the particles for extracting the minerals. The function of the rotor/stator is to make bubbles from the forced air, suspend the particles, and create an environment for bubbles and particles to make contact and rise ...
