This contribution focuses on the development of a dynamic conceptual model for a batch rectifier having an infinite number of stages without resorting to multistage calculations. For a given instantaneous still composition, the key feature of the method is the estimation of the instantaneous minimum reflux or the instantaneous distillate composition by using the Rectification Body Method. The u...

Society, POM-2001, March 30-April2, 2001, Orlando Fl. Batch Sizes in Push Manufacturing Operations Planning, Scheduling and Control Track Abstract: Isn't Push manufacturing dead and 1 the best batch size? Many manufacturing companies still use a Push system and they do so with batches of more than 1! They need to produce with little risk of late completion. To reflect this need, a new measureme...

This paper mainly deals with a two phase service queueing model with gated service vacation. In this gated service vacation model, only those customers who are present in the queue when the server starts a batch mode service are taken into the batch. We have derived probability generating functions of the system size and the orbit size. We have investigated the conditions under which the steady...

the purpose of the current research is investigating the phenylalanine removal by using magnetic nanoparticles (fe3o4) from water samples. the effect of ph, contact time and phenylalanine concentration on phenylalanine adsorption efficiency by magnetite nanoparticles are studied in a batch system. transmission electron microscopy (tem), x-ray diffraction patterns (xrd) and fourier transform inf...

This paper introduces a framework for mapping Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) architectures efficiently onto parallel processors such as GPUs. Key to our approach is the use of persistent computational kernels that exploit the processor’s memory hierarchy to reuse network weights over multiple timesteps. Using our framework, we show how it is possible to achieve substantially higher computationa...

This paper suggests a method to control the particle size distribution in semi-batch emulsion homopolymerizations under structural plant-model mismatch. In this approach, firstly a nominal monomer feed input trajectory is applied to the plant up to a predefined time instant after the start of the batch (mid-course). By means of a calorimetric observer, all states of the system except the partic...

Multilayer perceptrons are often trained using error backpropagation (BP). BP training can be done in either a batch or continuous manner. Claims have frequently been made that batch training is faster and/or more "correct" than continuous training because it uses a better approximation of the true gradient for its weight updates. These claims are often supported by empirical evidence on very s...
