On Ramanujan Sums over a Dedekind Domain with Finite Norm Property
In this paper, we consider Ramanujan’s sums over arbitrary Dedekind domain with finite norm property. We define the Ramanujan’s sums η(a, A) and η(B, A), where a is an arbitrary element in a Dedekind domain, B is...

Multi-stage glucose/pachymaran co-feeding enhanced endo-β-1,3-glucanase production by Trichoderma harzianum via simultaneous increases in cell concentration and inductive effect
Endo-β-1,3-glucanase is used to hydrolyze curdlan in a wide range of oligosaccharides production processes. Using pachymaran as the sole carbon source resulted in an endo-β-1,3-glucanase activity of 86.1 U/mL ...
