Distillation is the most important separation technology today. A trend in controlling distillation columns economically efficient is going toward using model predictive control (MPC) algorithms, which calculate an optimal input trajectory to the plant based on repeated simulations of a model of the process to predict the future behaviour of the plant with respect to disturbances and control in...

We propose a novel personalized aggregation approach to the multidimensional relevance aggregation. The approach is based on a mathematical aggregation operator relying on a fuzzy measure that allows quantifying the importance degree of each relevance dimension as well as the interaction existing between the criteria. Evaluation is carried out within three information retrieval settings referri...

Background and Objectives: Recently, the use of probiotics for the treatment of Urinary Tract Infections has become more popular. The use of probiotics in therapy is useful as only a few side effects such as destruction of resistant bacteria or disturbance of the intestinal microbiota have been reported. The aim of this study was to evaluate the probiotic effects of lactic acid bacteria by co-a...

In this study, the attenuation coefficient of blood was measured in vivo frequency range 10–45 MHz. A procedure to correct distribution sound pressure measurements discussed. Further, were applied on dorsal hand vein four healthy subjects at rest and during avascularization. As a preliminary result, less variation coefficients achieved by proposed method. The comparable results inclination obta...

The paper is devoted to a concept of aggregation of binary fuzzy relations. Consider two n-ary vectors, when we know the degrees to which corresponding components are in relation we can measure the degree to which vectors are in relation. Tasks with such background justify the necessity of aggregation of binary fuzzy relations and we contribute to the topic in this paper. First we recall the ap...

Studies documenting increased risk of developing autoimmune diseases (ADs) have shown that these conditions share several immunogenetic mechanisms (i.e., the autoimmune tautology). This report explored familial aggregation and segregation of AD, polyautoimmunity, and multiple autoimmune syndrome (MAS) in 210 families. Familial aggregation was examined for first-degree relatives. Segregation ana...

Designing secure data aggregation schemes, which are critical to many sensor network applications, imposes interesting and formidable challenges. In this paper, we propose a succinct and practical secure aggregation protocol by combining HMAC (associated with a cryptographic hash function) with Bloom filter, which then is defined as secure Bloom filter. Unlike most previous approaches, which ar...

compare the effect of different ceramic thicknesses on degree of conversion (dc) of 3 light-cured resin cements. methods: in this experimental in-vitro study, the degree of conversion of three light-cured resin cements, variolink veneer (ivoclar, liechtenstein), relyx veneer (3m espe, usa) and choice2 (bisco, usa) were evaluated beneath feldespatic ceramic discs (vita vmk master) with a same sh...

statement of problem: for many years, application of the composite restoration with a thickness less than 2 mm for achieving the minimum polymerization contraction and stress has been accepted as a principle. but through the recent development in dental material a group of resin based composites (rbcs) called bulk fill is introduced whose producers claim the possibility of achieving a good rest...
