The design for a new packed distillation column for consideration as a new experiment for the University Of Florida Department Of Chemical Engineering Unit Operations Laboratory was created to demonstrate the separation of water and isopropanol (i-Pr) and to evaluate a parallel applied multi-correlation approach to creating a high accuracy process model based on correlations with known margins ...

Recent advances in computing and communication technologies have made it technically feasible and economically viable to provide on-line access to a variety of information services over high speed networks. Particularly, convergence of various technological factors, namely in network access and in video coding and transmission, have recently brought a rapid growth of interest in on-line access ...

A continuous configuration-interaction approach for condensates in a ring is introduced. In its simplest form this approach utilizes for attractive condensates the Gross-Pitaevskii symmetry-broken solution and arrives at a groundstate of correct symmetry. Furthermore, the energy found is lower than the Gross-Pitaevskii one and, with increasing number of particles and/or strength of inter-partic...

The present study reports the changes in configuration of maximal flow-volume curves after eight weeks' treatment with inhaled corticosteroids in 14 asthmatic patients. The configuration was compared with that seen after bronchodilatation following inhalation of a single dose of ipratropium bromide. After inhaled corticosteroids the shape of the flow-volume curves was less bowed toward the volu...

Suboptimal or erroneous configuration data in rail automation systems may cause serious safety and cost issues. This research work aims to address continuous optimization of such data by (i) connecting configuration and operation data by integration of heterogeneous data sources, and by (ii) application of prescriptive analytics methods to propose decision options on how to correct and optimize...

In this work we present the latest developments in SAMPA-SRS integration. A software was developed to improve acquisition configuration, acquisition, and decoding of data. The complete framework tested using a triple GEM-based position sensitive detector for X-rays. operated Ar/CO$_2$ (70/30) continuous flow, at atmospheric pressure made use 1 dimension strip readout (200$\mu$m wide strips pitc...
