Background: Thymus daenensis is on e of the endemic aromatic species in Iran that its essential oil is used in food and pharmaceutical industries. Objective: In this study, the effects of plant growth stages and distillation methods on essential oil content and thymol percentage of this species were evaluated. Methods: The aerial parts of Th. daenensis were collected in three stages of plan...

The constant molar overflow (CMO) framework, while useful for shortcut distillation models, assumes that all components have the same latent heats of vaporization. A simple transformation, from flows to latent-heat flows, allows models retain mathematical simplicity CMO framework accounting different heats, resulting in heat transport (CHT) adiabatic columns. Although several past works already...

eryngium caucasicum trautv. (apiaceae) is a perennial herbaceous plant with about one meter height, an endemic species that has been distributed in the northern parts of iran. the plant leaves are normally used in medicine and food industries in iran.the plant has several medicinal properties including enforcing generative power, diuretic, lenitive and appetizer. in this research differents par...

A control of phenolic and furanic compounds in cider brandy was carried out during maturation in oak casks, studying three technological factors: distillation (rectification column vs double distillation), oak wood type (French vs American), and aging time (32 months). Gallic acid and benzoic and cinnamic aldehydes significantly increased during maturation of cider brandies, the highest level o...

The paper addresses the problem of testing various control configurations for binary distillation columns. Analyzing from plantwide control point of view the place of distillation column within the plant, the result will be the best control configuration. The proposed application Test BCC is a very useful tool to evaluate the resulted control configuration for distillation columns. First, it is...

The process for transferring knowledge of multiple reinforcement learning policies into a single multi-task policy via distillation technique is known as policy distillation. When policy distillation is under a deep reinforcement learning setting, due to the giant parameter size and the huge state space for each task domain, it requires extensive computational efforts to train the multi-task po...

Quantum error correction and fault-tolerance have provided the possibility for large scale quantum computations without a detrimental loss of quantum information. A very natural class of gates for fault-tolerant quantum computation is the Clifford gate set and as such their usefulness for universal quantum computation is of great interest. Clifford group gates augmented by magic state preparati...

Techniques such as ensembling and distillation promise model quality improvements when paired with almost any base model. However, due to increased testtime cost (for ensembles) and increased complexity of the training pipeline (for distillation), these techniques are challenging to use in industrial settings. In this paper we explore a variant of distillation which is relatively straightforwar...

Distillation is the most common unit operation in the chemical industry and understanding its behavior has been a defining characteristic of a good chemical engineer. Yet, distillation research has repeatedly been proclaimed to be a dead area, and some universities have even considered to stop teaching the basics of McCabe-Thiele diagrams. However, there has been renewed interest the last years...

the genus tanacetum l. belongs to the asteraceae family and anthemideae tribe is one of the most important medicinal plants that contains 26 species in iran, 12 of them are endemic. this paper reports the essential oil composition of tanacetum uniflorum (fisch. & c.a. mey. ex dc.) sch.bip. growing spontaneously in salmas (north-west of iran). essentail oil extracted by water distillation and st...
