Production of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) [P(3HB/V)], by fed-batch culture of recombinant Escherichia coli harboring a plasmid containing the Alcaligenes latus polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) biosynthesis genes, was examined in two pilot-scale fermentors with air supply only. In a 30 L fermentor having a KLa value of 0.11 s-1, the final P(3HB/V) concentration and the P(3HB/V) content obtained were 29.6 g/L and 70.1 wt%, respectively, giving a productivity of 1.37 g P(3HB/V)/L-h. In a 300 L fermentor having a KLa of 0.03 s-1, the P(3HB/V) concentration and the P(3HB/V) content were 20.4 g/L and 69 wt%, respectively, giving a productivity of 1.06 g P(3HB/V)/L-h. These results suggest that economical production of P(3HB/V) is possible by fed-batch culture of recombinant E. coli in a large-scale fermentor having low KLa value.

We uncover a coherence resonance near the Hopf bifurcation from chaos in coupled chaotic oscillators. At the bifurcation, a nearly periodic rotating wave becomes stable as the state of synchronous chaos is destabilized. We find that noise can induce the bifurcation and, more strikingly, it can enhance the temporal regularity of the wave pattern in the coupled system. This resonant phenomenon is expected to be robust and physically observable.

We ask whether statistical averages in chaotic systems can be computed or measured reliably under the influence of noise. Situations are identified where the invariance of such averages breaks down as the noise amplitude increases through a critical level. An algebraic scaling law is obtained which relates the change of the averages to the noise variation. This breakdown of shadowability of statistical averages, as characterized by the algebraic scaling law, can be expected in both low- and high-dimensional chaotic systems.

Highly cross-linked polysilanes were recently investigated in an attempt to improve drawbacks of bottom antireflective coatings (BARCs) composed of loosely cross-linked polysilanes that are used for deep ultraviolet (UV) lithography. A highly cross-linked structure was prepared by thermally crosslinking poly(phenylmethylsilane-co-methylhydrosilane-co-methysilyne) with m-diethynylbenzene during baking after coating. Resist profiles are achieved on it without producing a foot or leaving residue at the bottom of the resist. The refractive indices at the KrF excimer laser wavelength (248 nm) are n=1.93 and k=0.32. The reflection is reduced 0.9% regardless of variation in the thickness of the substrate. Highly cross-linked polysilanes improve the melting of loosely cross-linked polysilanes during BARC etching. They also improve the surface roughness of loosely cross-linked polysilanes after substrate (-SiO2) etching. The etch selectivity of the highly cross-linked polysilane BARC/resist during BARC etching is 2.1, which is higher than that of organic BARC/resist (∼1). The etch resistance of the highly cross-linked polysilane during substrate etching is 1.1 times greater than that of the resist. Highly cross-linked polysilanes can not only be etched with high selectivity against resist but can also be superior etch mask for substrate etching.

Dry etch resistance and antireflective performance were studied for a film containing a high amount of carbon, named the spun-on carbon film. The refractive indices of the spun-on carbon film at exposure wavelengths of excimer laser are n=1.72, k=0.35 (KrF), n=1.46, k=0.67 (ArF), and n=1.37, k=0.14 (F2). The bilayer BARC system composed of an upper SOG layer and a lower spun-on carbon layer was evaluated. By optimizing the SOG thickness, the reflectivity was reduced to 0.2% (KrF), 3.3% (ArF), and 0.5% (F2). Remarkable improvement was observed at the KrF and F2 wavelengths. Excellent resist profiles were obtained without any footing, residue, or standing waves using KrF and ArF excimer laser-based scanning steppers. It was found that the etch resistance of the spun-on carbon film is 1.34 times greater than that of the thermally oxidized novolak film.

Despite the increased availability of affordable ATM hardware, the scientific research community has often found it difficult to engage in much needed basic research in the areas of ATM protocol design and network performance optimization. We believe that one major cause for this has been the absence of affordable, publicly available source-level implementations of the ATM switch protocol stack. The PNNI routing and simulation toolkit (PRouST) attempts to remedy this. PRouST is a freely distributed, extensible environment for research and development in ATM switch signaling and routing. PRouST includes a complete source-level release of the ATM switch PNNI protocol stack, conformant to version 1.0 of the ATM Forum specification. It is our hope that PRouST will serve as the starting point for bold new initiatives in research and development for ATM technologies. We describe the design of PRouST and the features it supports.

This study was carried out to understand the decomposition behaviour of a range of biofuel and waste feedstock during gasification in a downdraft gasifier. A laboratory scale large sample thermogravimetric analyser (LSTA) is used which allows the data on burn-out characteristics of different fuel particles to be measured under agitated conditions. The conditions chosen simulate the combustion behaviour in a gasifier for a range of biofuels and wastes, namely hazelnut, pistachio, and peanut shells, wood chips and sewage sludge pellets. From this data the activation energy is calculated for a heating rate of 20°C/min. It was found that, as the weight loss increases, the activation energy decreases. In addition the influence of a range of gasification air/N2 levels on constituents of the gas released during hazelnut shell decomposition was observed. It was found that the composition of the product gases consisted of CH4, H2, CO, CO2, C2H4, C2H6. This was analysed as function of time hazelnut shells showing that the primary products are H2, CO, CH4 and CO2.
