Transparent memory tests with even repeating addresses for storage devices by V. N. Yarmolik, I. M. Mrozek, V. A. Levantsevich, D. V. Demenkovets

“…The basis of new metrics is the distance D(A(j), pA) determined by the difference between the indices of repeated addresses A(j) in the sequence pA. The properties of new characteristics of the pA sequences are investigated and their applicability is evaluated for choosing the optimal test pA sequences that ensure the high efficiency of new transparent tests. …”

Dynamic Behavior of the Fractional-Order Ananthakrishna Model for Repeated Yielding by Hongyi Zhu, Liping Yu

“…Notably, as the fractional order approaches a critical threshold, the time required to reach stability increases significantly, highlighting complex stability-transition dynamics. The computational efficiency of the proposed scheme is also validated, showing linear CPU time scaling with respect to the number of time steps, compared to the nearly quadratic growth of the classical L1 and Grünwald-Letnikow schemes, making it more suitable for long-term simulations of complex fractional-order models. …”

A trace metal cleaning protocol for laboratory equipment to enhance the repeatability of methanotroph cultures by Marie Noguer, Sandrine Chifflet, Sylvain Davidson, Florian Haitz, Bernard Angeletti, Jean Borgomano, Bernard Ollivier, Alain Dolla, Yannick Combet-Blanc

“…To address this issue, we developed the “trace metal free” protocol, a specific treatment dedicated to cleaning and removing trace metal contamination from laboratory equipment in order to improve culture stability.This proposed approach may be beneficial for any microbial culture requiring precise control of trace metal exposure, thereby enhancing the repeatability and productivity of cultures. • The “trace metal free” protocol treatment combining ultrapure water with an acid wash and sonication steps was applied to remove trace metals from labware and culture vessels. • Based on a series of batch cultures, the efficiency of the “trace metal free” protocol treatment was demonstrated by the improvement in repeatability of both growth on methane and formate yield (Y formate/methane) parameters known to be closely dependent on the presence of tungsten in the culture medium. • The 2-hour treatment protocol enabled stable microbial growth from the first batch, whereas untreated cultures required four sequential batches to reach comparable stability.…”
