Absorption System Modeling to Identify Desirable Solvent Properties

Solvent Properties of Functionalized Ionic Liquids for Co2 Absorption

Ionic liquids can be used as solvents for gas absorption operations in order to improve the process economy and general efficiency of gas separations. This work investigates solvent properties of ionic liquids and compares them to amine solutions used for absorption of carbon dioxide (CO2). The CO2 solubility into imidazolium-based Room Temperature Ionic Liquids (RTILs) was measured at temperat...

N-Ace: Using solvent accessibility and physicochemical properties to identify protein N-acetylation sites

Protein acetylation, which is catalyzed by acetyltransferases, is a type of post-translational modification and crucial to numerous essential biological processes, including transcriptional regulation, apoptosis, and cytokine signaling. As the experimental identification of protein acetylation sites is time consuming and laboratory intensive, several computational approaches have been developed...

Desirable Properties of an Ideal Risk Measure

This paper examines the properties that a risk measure should satisfy in order to characterize an investor’s preferences. In particular, we propose some intuitive and realistic examples that describe several desirable features of an ideal risk measure. This analysis is the first step in understanding how to classify an investor’s risk. Risk is an asymmetric, relative, heteroskedastic, multidime...

Seven Desirable Properties for Artificial Learning Systems

We propose seven desirable properties for artificial learning systems, namely: incrementality, nonmonotonicity, inconsistency and conflicting defaults handling, abstraction, self-organization, generalization, and computational tractability. This proposed set of properties is not claimed to be complete, nor does it imply that all properties must necessarily be present in all learning models. Rat...
