Abstract: A method of generating electromagnetic fields comprises the step of using the interaction between a laser source and an appropriate target, as the source for generating high-intensity electromagnetic fields. A strong positive charge is generated in the target hit by the laser. The target has a structure consisting of at least two different elements. The method can be used to obtain the acceleration, deceleration, deflection, focusing or selection of moving charges. Such charges have been previously accelerated by a completely separate process, and therefore the two processes of pre-acceleration and subsequent processing of the beam of particles are completely separate and therefore separately tunable and optimizable Such electromagnetic fields can be used in other fields than those previously indicated, such as—merely by way of example—medicine, biology, studies on materials, electromagnetic compatibility, and generation of terahertz radiation.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of propagating genetically modified yeasts or even any other yeasts that suffer a positive Crabtree effect or any other microorganisms that use sugars for growth (glucose or equivalent glucose), wherein the feeding medium inhibits the optimal exponential growth predicted throughout the process, such a method capable of providing greater process economicity (CAPEX and OPEX), increased productivity and yield (Yx/s) and reduced CAPEX due to greater cell expansion in a single stage of reactor. Particularly, the present invention describes a process for producing second generation ethanol by using different combinations of low-cost streams existing in an integrated 2G or 1G/2G ethanol production plant, combined with the unique batch propagation strategy fed in at least two exponential feeding phases, in just one cycle, with the propagation step occurring in a single reactor.
