Increasing energy prices, tighter environmental regulation, and global competition urge the industry to optimize its processes for converting chemicals energy. This optimization is far from trivial. Often, key major breakthrough relies not only on optimal process conditions but also selecting suitable molecules as solvents, catalysts, or heat transfer fluids. selection highly coupled with itsel...

Recent clinical trials using antibodies with low toxicity and high efficiency have raised expectations for the development of next-generation protein therapeutics. However, the process of obtaining therapeutic antibodies remains time consuming and empirical. This review summarizes recent progresses in the field of computer-aided antibody development mainly focusing on antibody modeling, which i...

Computer simulation is an indispensable tool for the design of new VLSI devices. Besides the progress in physical models and computational techniques which has dominated technology computer aided design (TCAD) in the past, purely software-related aspects are attracting increasing attention and will become a crucial issue for future developments in this field.

This paper reports the work that is being developed in the evaluation of neural networks and fuzzy logic techniques applied to the control of electrical machines. An overview of a CACSD (Computer Aided Control System Design) tool – Matlab/Simulink is also presented. This tool was used to design and simulate a control system for an induction motor based on the referred techniques.
