Abstract: In order to reduce computation time and cost involved with determining one or more optimal parameters for a pre-cooling strategy, for a modeled system, a two-step genetic algorithms is used to optimize energy consumption of the modeled system with respect to cost of the energy consumption. A first step of the two-step genetic algorithms determines a population of potential solutions that are used to initialize a second step of the two-step genetic algorithm. The second step of the two-step genetic algorithm determines the one or more optimal parameters for the pre-cooling strategy from the population output by the first genetic algorithm.

Abstract: In this study, we used a wound-inducible promoter of the broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica) GLUCOSE INHIBITION of ROOT ELONGATION1 (GIR1) gene fused to ?-glucuronidase (GUS, pBoGIR1::GUS) as a selectable marker. Transgenic broccoli plants expressing pBoGIR1::GUS appear blue in planta at wounded regions after GUS staining for 30 min. Similarly, the blue color is visible in transgenic Arabidopsis and rice plants expressing pBoGIR1::GUS at wounded areas after GUS staining for 2 h, indicating that this promoter is wound-inducible in both dicots and monocots. GUS staining is very rapid and the partial wounding in this study is a nondestructive method that does not affect further plant growth and development. Thus, pBoGIR1::GUS could serve as an effective substitute for antibiotic- and herbicide-resistance genes in the generation of genetically modified crops.

Through the liquefied chlorine input port the liquefied chlorine flows into the throat pipe and out from the diverging pipe and then into a clear-water reservoir.
