The Nutritional Quality of the Culture Medium Influences the Survival of Non-Saccharomyces Yeasts Co-Cultured with Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Yeast-yeast interactions have been studied mainly using wine yeasts.However, studies are rare for native yeasts from agave juice fermentation.Therefore, this work used strains isolated from the alcoholic fermentation of agave to study the survival of non-Saccharomyces yeasts co-cultivated with Saccharomyces cerevisiae in media of different nutritio

Probabilistic Assessment of Degree of Bending in Tubular X-Joints of Offshore Structures Subjected to Bending Loads

Fatigue life of tubular joints in offshore structures is significantly influenced by the degree Stand of bending (DoB).The DoB exhibits considerable scatter calling for greater emphasis in accurate determination of its governing probability distribution which is a key input for the fatigue reliability analysis of a tubular joint.Although the tubula
