This paper shows the application of a 2DOF robust discrete deadtime compensator to a evaporation process in a sugar factory. The proposed controller is tuned using performance and robustness specifications and it is specially designed for integrative plants as is the case of the level control of the principal unit of the evaporator. A comparative analysis with the PID installed in the unit is p...

The automatic extraction of comparative information is an important text mining problem and an area of increasing interest. In this paper, we study how to build a Korean comparison mining system. Our work is composed of two consecutive tasks: 1) classifying comparative sentences into different types and 2) mining comparative entities and predicates. We perform various experiments to find releva...

This paper presents a region-representation scheme and comparative analysis methods based on a tesseral addressing system. The proposed scheme is described in the context of performance analysis of Page Segmentation methods, a Document Image Analysis area that is particularly sensitive to both a successful region-description scheme and efficient methods for comparative analysis. The proposed te...

How can accountability be institutionalized across complex governance networks that are dealing with the transboundary pollution problem of mitigating greenhouse gas emissions at multiple spatial, temporal and social scales? To address this question, we propose an accountability framework that enables comparison of the democratic, market and administrative anchorage of actor accountability with...

The present paper discusses the development of a Markov model for performance evaluation of coal handling unit of a thermal power plant using probabilistic approach. Coal handling unit ensures proper supply of coal for sound functioning of thermal Power Plant. In present paper, the coal handling unit consists of two subsystems with two possible states i.e. working and failed. Failure and repair...
