Here, a collection of base functions and sub-functions configure the nodes of a web-based (digital)network representing functionalities. Each arc in the network is to be assigned as the link between two nodes. The aim is to find an optimal tree of functionalities in the network adding value to the product in the web environment. First, a purification process is performed in the product network ...

A suitable model for predicting the product quality of vacuum gas oil (VGO) catalytic hydrocracking is developed. Data were obtained using an experimental catalytic hydrocracking reactor loaded with the Ni-Mo/Al2O3-SiO2 catalyst. A set of experimental runs was conducted under various operating temperatures from 380 to 450 ℃. Three distribution models were used t...

In this study, pyrite was produced by hydrothermal precipitation from the reaction between FeSO4 and Na2S2O3 at high pressure and high temperature in a stirred reactor. The solid product was purified by means of solvent extraction to remove sulfur. Powder was characterized by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and thermal ...

in this paper, a hybrid method for limited resource allocation and leveling in complex multi-stage, multi-product and multi-period production planning problems with aim of lot-size determination and total cost minimization has been proposed. this problem consists of multiple products with sequential production processes that are produced in different periods to meet the customers demand. by det...

Acidification is an important process in the production of several dairy products and has impact taste, viscosity, shelf life products. This paper deals with development empirical mathematical model to describe milk acidification terms pH dynamics. The built upon experiments pasteurized skimmed for acid-induced casein precipitation extended predict partitioning calcium phosphates whey dynamics ...

Newly laid eggs of many insect species store maternal ecdysteroids as physiologically inactive phosphoric esters. In the silkworm Bombyx mori, we previously reported the presence of a specific enzyme, called ecdysteroid-phosphate phosphatase (EPPase), which catalyzes the dephosphorylation of ecdysteroid-phosphates to increase the amount of free ecdysteroids during early embryonic development. I...

Iron oxide (Fe2O3) nanoparticles were prepared by combination of sol-gel autocombustion and ultrasonic irradiation. The XRD pattern reveals that the crystallite size of sample is 36.7 nm and the phase identification shows hematite, syn has been crystalized. The morphology of the sample investigated by FESEM showed that particle size of the sample was about 76 nm. The optic...

Rare-earth phosphates (REPO4) are regarded as one of the promising thermal/environmental barrier coating (T/EBC) materials for SiCf/SiC ceramic matrix composites (SiC-CMCs) owing to their excellent resistance water vapor and CaO–MgO–Al2O3–SiO2 (CMAS). Nevertheless, a relatively high thermal conductivity (?) REPO4 becomes b...
