for all industrial processes, modelling, optimisation and control are the keys to enhance productivity and ensure product quality. in the current study, the optimization of process parameters for improving the conversion of isoeugenol to vanillin by psychrobacter sp. csw4 was investigated by means of taguchi approach and box-behnken statistical design under resting cell conditions. taguchi desi...

efforts to improve the quality of bakery products are increasing every day. several techniques were developed for this purpose. in this study the possibility of betterment and optimization of quality properties of dough and barbari bread with emphasis on process variables using rotatable response surface methodology were investigated. the independent process variables for baking process were do...

in this paper, the optimal design of a three phase surface mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor has been done by particle swarm optimization and bees algorithm. this machine has been designed for high speed applications, and an epoxy and glass fiber bandage is used for permanent magnet protection against centrifugal forces. the optimization has been done by new design equations to improve...

in this study 152 bacterial strains were isolated from the contaminated oils in the southwest of iran. hemolysis was used as a criterion for the primary  isolation of biosurfactant producing-bacteria. fifty five strains had haemolytic activity , among them tweleve strains were good biosurfactant producers by measuring surface tension and emulsification activity.two microorganism showed the high...

one of the most important goals in geomagnetic investigations is detecting local anomaly locations. regional anomaly can be simulating as a trend surface, and local anomalies will be detected by comparison of measured data and simulated trend surface. the problem is trying to find best coefficients of trend surface model using inverse methods based on modern optimization techniques, which are f...

metal matrix composites have been widely used in industries, especially aerospace industries, due to their excellent engineering properties. however, it is difficult to machine them because of the hardness and abrasive nature of reinforcement elements like silicon carbide particles (sicp).in the present study, an attempt has been made to investigate the influence of spindle speed (n), feed rate...

The problem of multiclass classification is considered and resolved through the multiresponse linear regression approach. Scores are used to encode the class labels into multivariate responses. The regression of scores on input attributes is used to extract a lowdimensional linear discriminant subspace. The classification training and prediction are carried out in this low-dimensional subspace....

Under the conditions used to prepare the traditional sugar syrups and caramels, commercial sucrose is heated with small amounts of water in order to attain supersaturated (at room temperature) solutions. Undesuch conditions, a lag phase in sucrose thermal degradation was experimentally observed. This lag phase was also observed in the formation of reaction products, and can be interpreted has a...
