The absorbed dose resulting from dermal exposure to soil-bound chemicals depends on many factors. An algorithm that describes the uptake of chemicals from soil as a function of exposure duration, exposure frequency, chemical concentration in the soil, soil loading, surface area, body weight, averaging time, and fractional absorption (ABS) is discussed in Chapter 6. The purpose of this appendix ...

Solving mixed integer linear programming (MILP) problems is a difficult task due to the parallel use of both integer and non-integer values. One of the most widely used solution is to solve the problem in the real space and they apply additional iteration steps (so-called cutting-plane algorithms or Gomory’s cuts) to narrow down the solution to the optimal integer solution. The ABS class of alg...

The main aim of this paper intends to discuss the solution of fuzzy Sylvester matrix equation AX +XB = C where A = (aij) ∈ Rn×n , B = (bij) ∈ Rm×m are crisp Mmatrices, C = (cij) ∈ Rn×m is fuzzy matrix and X ∈ Rn×m is unknown,by applying a special algorithm based on a class of ABS algorithms called Huang algorithm. At first, we transform this system to an (mn)×(mn) fuzzy system of linear equatio...

• 17,449 experimental binodal data points covering various IL-ABS at different temperatures are collected. Optimal parameters of a well-known mathematical description for each the obtained. A machine learning model (ANN-GC) with reliable predictive performance is developed. Some main issues that govern phase equilibria behavior IL- ABS discussed. The ability to predict crucial relevance in earl...

We address the problem of minimizing objectives from the class of piecewise differentiable functions whose nonsmoothness can be encapsulated in the absolute value function. They possess local piecewise linear approximations with a discrepancy that can be bounded by a quadratic proximal term. This overestimating local model is continuous but generally nonconvex. It can be generated in its abs-no...
