A domain specific language for facilitating automatic parallelization and placement of SDR patterns into heterogeneous computing architectures by Mohapi, Lerato Jerfree

“…Moreover, the following hypothesis was validated, namely: "It is possible to design a DSL to facilitate the development of SDR applications and their deployment on HCAs without significant degradation of software performance, and with possible improvement in the automatically emitted low-level source code quality.". It was validated by; 1) Defining the OptiSDR attributes such as parallel DSP patterns and dataflow MoCs; 2) Providing parameterizable SDR modules with automatic parallelization and optimization for performance and accuracy; and 3) Presenting a set of intuitive validation constructs for accuracy testing using root-mean square error, and functional verification of DSP using two-dimensional graphics plotting for radar and real-time spectral analysis plots.…”

Conversion of hydrocarbons to biosurfactants : an insight into the bioprocess optimisation of biosurfactant production using alkanes as inducers by Bamara, Prosper

“…The C14-C17 fraction, sourced as an industrial byproduct, compared favourably as a carbon source with respect to hexadecane and dodecane. ii Biosurfactant production was not observed in Ps. aeruginosa 2Bf cultures where glucose was the sole carbon source and the bacteria were not previously exposed to linear alkanes. …”
