A Single Woman (play) A Single Woman (play) A Single Woman is a play based on the life of Jeannette Rankin, the first woman in the United States Congress. First drafted as a one-woman show by Nevada Shakespeare Company founding Artistic Director, Jeanmarie Simpson, it developed into a "duet performance work" by the time it premiered at the Oats Park Art Center in Fallon, Nevada on February 7, 2004. The play subsequently toured internationally with hundreds of grassroots performances before running at The Culture Project Off-Broadway in the summer of 2005. The play closed at the Invisible Theatre in Tucson, Arizona on November 5,
Single-use bioreactor validation procedures can be made easier, and will finally lead to significant cost reductions. The application of single-use bioreactors reduces the risk of cross contamination and enhances the biological and process safety. Single-use applications are especially suitable for any kind of biopharmaceutical product. Single-use bioreactors contain fewer parts compared with conventional bioreactors, so the initial and maintenance costs are reduced. Limiting factor for the use of "some" single-use bioreactors is the achievable oxygen transfer, represented by the specific mass transfer coefficient (k) for the specific phase area (a), resulting in the volumetric oxygen mass transfer coefficient (ka). Theoretically this can
