Gasoline blending is an important unit operation in gasoline industry. A good model for the blending system is beneficial for supervision operation, prediction of the gasoline qualities and realizing model-based optimal control. Gasoline blending process involves two types proprieties: static blending property and dynamic property of blending tanks. Since the blending cannot follow the ideal mi...

The liquid wastes produced during the processing of radioactive materials at the Savannah River Site were initially stored in large underground tanks constructed of carbon steel. These liquid wastes were generated from the Purex process (for producing plutonium) and the HM process (for producing tritium). The liquid wastes were designated as high-level wastes and lowlevel wastes. As the product...

the proposed iafc neural networks have both stability and plasticity because theyuse a control structure similar to that of the art-1(adaptive resonance theory) neural network.the unsupervised iafc neural network is the unsupervised neural network which uses the fuzzyleaky learning rule. this fuzzy leaky learning rule controls the updating amounts by fuzzymembership values. the supervised iafc ...

the bankruptcy prediction models have long been proposedas a key subject in finance. the present study, therefore, makes aneffort to examine the corporate bankruptcy prediction through employmentof the genetic algorithm model. furthermore, it attempts to evaluatethe strategies to overcome the drawbacks of ordinary methods forbankruptcy prediction through application of genetic algorithms. thesa...

The current study proposes a two-step approach for pore facies characterization in the carbonate reservoirs with an example from the Kangan and Dalanformations in the South Pars gas field. In the first step, pore facies were determined based on Mercury Injection Capillary Pressure (MICP) data incorporation with the Hierarchical Clustering Analysis (HCA) method. In the next step, polynomial meta...

In china, atmospheric storage tanks are not included in the management of special equipment, and therefore they are not required to be inspected compulsorily. There is larger difference between China and developed countries on atmospheric storage tank inspection technique than the other techniques on the inspection of pressure vessels. It is widely believed that the strength worsening and perfo...
