The invention discloses a photobioreactor featuring a microalgae cultivation chamber in the form of a closed flat duct irradiated by sunlight. The flat duct is constructed from an inflatable sleeve made of transparent polymer film. This inflatable sleeve is sandwiched between a bank of frames with wire nettings, plates of foamed plastic, a variable air pressure mattress located underneath the inflatable sleeve, and a thermo-insulating transparent inflatable mattress and glass panes above. The variable air pressure mattress facilitates mixing of the microalgae suspension with the gaseous medium containing carbon dioxide and regulates the temperature of the microalgae suspension in the flat duct.

Provided is an electromagnetic radiation method and an apparatus for performing the same. The electromagnetic radiation apparatus includes a signal generator configured to generate a first electromagnetic signal configured with an uplink and a downlink and scale and radiate power of the first electromagnetic signal in order to evaluate the first electromagnetic signal as a second electromagnetic signal configured only with a downlink, and a radiation chamber in which cell containers configured with cells are arranged in a circle in order to evenly irradiate a scaled first electromagnetic signal to the cells.

Microphysiological platforms are configured for measuring kinetic rates relating to drug absorption. These kinetic rates include GI region-specific kinetic rates of drug absorption. The kinetic rates include bioavailability of the drug over time in various tissues. The kinetic rates include drug permeability in various tissues. The kinetic rates include measurements of microbial transformations that occur. The kinetic rates include measured effects of gastric emptying and transit times. The kinetic rates include measurements of fasting and fed states for various tissues.

The present invention provides a system for culturing a microorganism, the system including: a culture tank; a recycled gas adjusting unit; a first gas circulation line having one end thereof connected to an upper part of the culture tank and another end thereof connected to the recycled gas adjusting unit; and a second gas circulation line having one end thereof connected to the recycled gas adjusting unit and another end thereof connected so as to supply a recycled gas into the culture tank, wherein the recycled gas adjusting unit mixes, in at least a portion of an off-gas discharged from the culture tank, one or a plurality of gas components selected from the group consisting of a combustible gas, a combustion-supporting gas, and an incombustible gas so that a concentration of the combustion-supporting gas in the recycled gas is in a prescribed range.
