Dropout is a popular stochastic regularization technique for deep neural networks that works by randomly dropping (i.e. zeroing) units from the network during training. This randomization process allows to implicitly train an ensemble of exponentially many networks sharing the same parametrization, which should be averaged at test time to deliver the final prediction. A typical workaround for t...

A study has been made of various methods of distillation of solutions of furfural and of xylose with the object of increasing the 88-percent yield of furfural obtained from xylose by the present standard m ethod of distillation. Sources of error that have been considered are: Decomposition of furfural, volatilization of furfural, effect of rubber stoppers used in the distillation procedure, inc...

Distillation columns have been widely used in chemical plants for separation process. The high nonlinearity and dynamic behavior of the column make them hard to control. Internal Model Control (IMC) is one of the model based control strategy that have become the central of research to control such column. This paper will review the implementation of IMC in controlling continuous distillation co...

Traditionally polyester production is done in a batch reactor equipped with a separation column for batch distillation. A promising alternative for the intensification of this process is reactive distillation. In this paper, a reactive distillation model is developed for the synthesis of an unsaturated polyester process. The simulation results are compared with the industrial batch reactor outp...

Previous studies have revealed it is possible to separate a high-boiling mixture by gas chromatography in empty fused-silica capillary tubing rather than in columns coated with stationary phase. Chromatographic separation occurs solely on the basis of the different boiling points of the substances separated. The high similarity of such separations to those in classic distillation seems advantag...

Techniques such as ensembling and distillation promise model quality improvements when paired with almost any base model. However, due to increased testtime cost (for ensembles) and increased complexity of the training pipeline (for distillation), these techniques are challenging to use in industrial settings. In this paper we explore a variant of distillation which is relatively straightforwar...

The TREC 2003 web track consisted of both a non-interactive stream and an interactive stream. Both streams worked with the .GOV test collection. The non-interactive stream continued an investigation into the importance of homepages in Web ranking, via both a Topic Distillation task and a Navigational task. In the topic distillation task, systems were expected to return a list of the homepages o...

The essential oils are frequently used in food processing industry, perfumery, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. Most of the oils obtained by steam distillation and water distillation. It is necessary to specify the best conditions of essential oils production to get much more major compound(s) and higher yield oil. So, fennel oil was selected in this study. The objective of this work was to ident...

The paper discusses distillation column control within the general framework of plantwide control. In addition, it aims at providing simple recommendations to assist the engineer in designing control systems for distillation columns. The standard LV-configuration for level control combined with a fast temperature loop is recommended for most columns.
