The distillation unit is one of the main units in refning companies, and it serves as the mother unit in any refnery with any degree of complexity. The optimization of this unit can increase productivity. In this study, the vacuum distillation unit of a refnery was selected as the case study. The shares of different expenses of this unit were clarifed using a novel material flow cost accoun...

In this paper, we propose a stable active contour based tracking method which utilizes the bimodal segmentation technique to obtain a background color diminished image frame. The proposed method overcomes the drawback of the Mansouri model which is liable to fall into a local minimum state when colors appear in the background that are similar to the target colors. The Mansouri model has been a ...

In this work we study the symmetry breaking conditions, given by a (anti)de Sitter-valued vector field, of full Sitter-invariant MacDowell-Mansouri inspired action. We show that under these conditions action breaks down to General Relativity with cosmological constant, four dimensional topological invariants, as well Holst term. obtain equations motion action, and analyze conditions.

In this work we present a non-relativistic gravity theory defined in four spacetime dimensions using the MacDowell-Mansouri geometrical formulation. We obtain Newtonian action which is constructed from curvature of Newton-Hooke version so-called algebra. show that presented here contains Poisson equation presence cosmological constant. Moreover make contact with Modified Dynamics (MOND) approac...

We construct a gauge theory based in the supergroup $G=SU(2,2|2)$ that generalizes MacDowell-Mansouri supergravity. This is done introducing an extended notion of Hodge operator form outer automorphism $su(2,2|2)$-valued 2-form tensors. The model closely resembles Yang-Mills -- including action principle, equations motion and transformations which avoids use otherwise complicated component form...

Simplifying the arguments of Chang and Mansouri, we show that the Virasoro conditions in dual resonance models are related to geometrical and mechanical properties of classical two-dimensional media.
