Two strains of A. versicolor producing ST at 550.5 mg.kg-1 substrate and 1160.8 mg·kg-1 substrate were selected to inoculate 4 kg solid ST-producing media. After 30 days stationary incubation at 28 ℃ in the dark, 2271.6 mg of pale-yellow needle-shaped crystals were isolated and purified from the culture with a procedure applying column chromatography and recrystallization method. The crystal was proved to be sterigmatocystin by spectroanalysis and some physico-chemical analysis. The purity of the final material obtained were more than 99.9% as shown by HPLC and TLC detection. With this procedure, ST was obtained at about one tenth of its commercial cost展开更多
We present results on approximate solutions to the biadditive equationf（x＋y,z-w）＋f（x-y,z＋w）=2f（x,z）-2f（y,w）on a restricted domain.

The proof is based on a quite recent fixed point theorem in some function spaces. Our main results state that, under some weak natural assumptions, functions satisfying the equation approximately （in some sense） must be actually solutions to it. In this way we obtain inequalities characterizing biadditive mappings and inner product spaces. Our outcomes are connected with the well known issues of Ulam stability and hyperstability.展开更多

Its configuration and overall dimensions, initially conceived for 800 kW, were recently re-tuned, from a functional point of view and on the base of a parallel theoretical analysis, by decreasing to about 400 kW the former nominal power level. This provision, jointly with the basic design choice of adopting a long and amply dimensioned inlet-biomass thermal pretreatment section, turned out quite effective in achieving high gasification temperatures and a low-tar content in the produced gas at fuel-to-air ratios well below the usually imposed ones, to the advantage of the heat value of the product-gas. The paper discusses the numerical analysis results which helped to properly re-adjust the operational parameters of the gasifier and then presents the experimental performance data of the overall power plant including biomass consumption, gasification temperatures, gas production, composition and pollutants content, cold-gas conversion efficiency and global electric efficiency. Special care is devoted to investigating the issue of a significant production of carbon-containing particulate matter in the product gas, which turns out made up of char and fixed carbon much more than of tar species.展开更多
